heh "fancy" . Yea, i didnt want a Ton of buttons *cough* Razor Naga *cough* but i did want a few i could program. And im attached to my G5's DPI buttons now heh. But there is something to be said for something not complicated that works very well

as i told earlier i have a too many buttons mouse *cough* Razor Naga *cough*, and man it was a pain in the a**. i tried using it for so many games but always end up forgetting the keys. although the grip and feel was good but you must have a good memory to use it or practice with it for a year or so to get it right.
my G500 have sufficient keys to perform good. and use of DPI is awesome while sniping or using it for opening locks in skyrim or making precise adjustment in Maya or 3ds MAX. and the fast scrolling function also comes handy while surfing net.
The G500 was my 2nd choice behind this 700 i got. It looks like a very nice improvement over the G5. The 700's wireless option was a big selling point for me tho cause my laptop is still capable and its nice i can just take this mouse with me instead of bringing a corded one.
You still in Paris?
I couldn't imagine it being a difficult mouse to find in any developed country.
(Paris not being in a developed country )

true man.. somebody must have really huge hands to use the weights. at starting i put some weights in the mouse and i was like" yaa man! my mouse has extra weights, i can customize it in whatever way i want", but after few weeks and some 18-20 hours straight sitting on my pc, i was like "man! logitech wants to break my wrist"
now the weights are back in there fancy cover.
I own a G5 (v1) since 2007 (won it from a counter-strike 1.6 tournament sponsored by Logitech) and I'm pretty happy with it.
Most of you guys think that the mouse is a key factor or something, when it's actually not.
Its all about the skill, you might own the best mouse possible and get your butt kicked by a guy with a $2 A4Tech mouse.
in my experience, the best gaming mice arent gaming mice at all. the best mouse i've ever used (rts, some fps, rpg) was actually the second generation intellimouse. insanely cheap and high build quality, very durable.
i actually use the kinzu now, which i like, but when this mouse goes i'll be picking up an intellimouse for sure. alongside the intellimouse i also like many of the logitechs (g1, g3, g500).
Ok here's the deal: I left my intellimouse in Chicago when I moved to Spain.
Then I bought a G500...
...THEN my friend brought my intellimouse back from Chicago.
I can't even use the damned thing anymore. It's like the difference between using a mouse and moving a rock around on a piece of cardboard.
An intellimouse isn't **** compared to a G500. I can set my G500 to the same sensitivity as an Intellimouse if I want... and the G500 will be more comfortable and provide a greater range of movement.
Only beef I have is it's harder to pick up off the table if I want to make some grand movement... so I just try not to make grand movements anymore.

I actually just sent back my g700. I had a g5 for a very long time, then Ive had the g9 for a few years and I love it but I wanted more buttons.
The g700 is awesome for wireless gaming but its HUGE (dwarfs the g9!)and I only have medium sized hands. Also, the 4 side G buttons are really awkward to press due to their shape. I wanted to love it but I had to send it back
I was lusting over the corsair M90 but I went on the Corsair forums and everyone said the software is atrocious! That was a deal breaker.. So I think I'm also going to end up with a g500 or that RAT MMO7 looks pretty baller(ugh but why orange??).
But man I've never had a wireless mouse before and it was AWESOME. If you have larger hands definitely give it a shot
My problem is im use to holding the mouse way wrong. Ie gripping it with two fingers, then laying my first and middle finger on the buttons.
this is not a wrong way to grip the mouse...there really is no "wrong" way to do it... i do the same thing you do. if it is comfortable then it is correct for you but maybe not somebody else....
i grip the mouse mainly with my thumb and pinkie finger, the palm of my hand does NOTHING on the mouse as it does not even touch it.
Thats the v1 G15, the G9 dwarfed by the G700, and a Razer Destructor mouse pad. (ts hard and the mice slide around on it like butter. although I'll never buy another Razer mouse or kb again, the game pads are pretty greatyea, i have fairly large hands. My problem is im use to holding the mouse way wrong. Ie gripping it with two fingers, then laying my first and middle finger on the buttons. I need to get use to laying my entire hand on the mouse so it doesnt **** up my hand lol. Its alitle different shape than the g5(00) so it will take some getting use to ..
The sid buttons i will admit, are a bit weird, but the programmable macros and wireless option are very nice
Btw, what mouse/keyboard matt is that in your pic? Is it a hard surface?
