Logitech heeft voor zijn G5 Laser Mouse een nieuwe firmware uitgebracht met 1.1 als het versienummer. Met deze update wordt de nauwkeurigheid van de laser verbeterd op verschillende oppervlakken. Deze muis is vooral gericht op gamers en er kwamen uit deze hoek dan ook een aantal klachten over de nauwkeurigheid op verschillende muismatten die aangeven geschikt te zijn voor optische muizen. De procedure om de firmware op je muis te zetten is als volgt:
