Verdict

The Lenovo Legion M5 is a right-handed wireless gaming mouse featuring a PixArt PAW3325 optical sensor with an adjustable sensitivity up to 8,000 DPI, a 1,000Hz polling rate, and 40G maximum acceleration. Its dual-mode connectivity allows for both 2.4GHz wireless and Type-C wired use, supported by a rechargeable 800mAh battery that offers up to 80 hours of life and allows for use while charging. Main pros include its five onboard memory profiles, dedicated DPI and profile switching buttons, and customizable RGB lighting in a relatively lightweight 97g chassis. However, notable cons include its lack of a tilting or thumb scroll wheel, no adjustable weights, and a sensor that may underperform compared to higher-tier gaming models.
