Do you run a wireless keyboard? If you do I'd go with a wired mouse.

the mx518 is better than both. it keeps the two side buttons, which i use a ton, and 1600 dpi is plenty.

i've tried both aside from the other side button which is hard to use anyway its a less quality mouse IMO, it is an optical mouse and the G5 is a laser mouse...

Gone from a MX1000 to G7 and I am happy and sad. For games playing it really is great and I have noticed its a bit more accurate when using 2000dpi.
Only thing is that I was use the extra buttons on the 1000.

i dont miss the extra buttons and i use 1600dpi for desktop use, 2000dpi makes alot of difference when flying planes and helis in bf2. i hate wireless stuff.....

Still waiting on my G5 and Func pad went with less buttons for laser.(But I bet the mx518 would be completely satisfactory.)
I was torn between wired and wireless decided to go with wired cause its cheaper.
Its a tough decision but then I thought its $50... I can afford to use it for a few years then buy another. Its not like making a mistake on a big dollar item like a monitor. My 2cents

If you don't use the forward button, the G5 is better. It's not just higher dpi, it's got a much better sensor, better polling rate, and overall better response(I own both, so this is based off of what I've experienced during use).

Well, I bought a MX518 and XRAY THunderpad. Reason being the MX518 being $30 on Newegg right now, and I also read that the middle scroll sucks on the G5. Besides, as you guys said its only $30-50. I can wait a year or so and get a G10 or something lol.

I have a g7, and while its a fantastic mouse it ****es me off that there is only 1 side button and not two. Otherwise though, its a fantastic mouse, probably better than any other mouse I've had including wired ones. The g7 makes you wonder why anyone would ever buy a wired mouse again. Some old first gen wireless stuff was crap, but this stuff is refined, its prefect, and its better than wired. Using the middle mouse as a button instead of just horizontal and vertical scroll takes some getting used to though. I swear it's like logitech could have gotten this mouse perfect, but didn't on purpose.
