Gg, my mouse died

Currently using my Wacom Graphire 4 Classic as a mouse, since my mx518 died. Already for smth like half a year it kept disconnecting at random moments (cable was fucked up), but now it rly died. I screwed it open, and the cable has a twist in it, what killed the cable... It's standard in the 510 and 518, so imo it's a rly stupid system, the mouse kills itself in time... I like made two holes in the side (had to use all kinds of stupid cutting and pulling tools, coz it's was hard plastic :/) and I lead my cable through those holes, but still it didn't help (I thought it might work when the twist was out). It's just rly fucked up. My mouse looks like this now:

So, getting myself a new one tomorrow. What do you advise? Should I buy the mx518 again, or should I go for a different one?

oki bibuy
What do you advice?
doesnt really matter what people advice cause hmm.. well i think its more of a personal choice..
do you prefer laser/optical
the mx510/518/g5 shape or the 310 or maybe a razer?
i think you should buy a razer and see how that works out for you and well.. if you dont like it im pretty sure you can find someone on the nets to trade it with for another 518
I had 4 mx518.

The most common thing with them, is that mouse button 1 stops working (or works sometimes). (know 12 different people with the same failure).

This one, i have now will also be my last mx518, it´s a good mouse when it works, but they don't last long it seems :/
I've had it for almoast 3 years though, so that's long enough for me :P

What mouse you'd advise?

Dunno really, i´ve been looking on Microsoft intellimouse 3.0 :) Cheap enough, to replace if i don't like it :)

Nice hand dude... 2 sizes of extra skin.

Oh and razer krait ftw.
hehe it's 'cuz of resizing the pic, and then adding a high-pass sharpening on 2 (halo effect) and two normal sharpens, and then a gaussian bur on 3 with an overlay undo...

or do u mean at the bottom?
that's just 'cuz I'm twisting my hand very weird to make the pic ^^

I would go for either the mx518 again or a Razer DeathAdder :P
QuoteIt's standard in the 510 and 518


Atleast my mx510 lasted like 2 years! But I'm off to work now bibuy..

PS: Try G5 now it rocks :)
my 518 for 3 years...

nothing wrong with those cheap chinese mice
I used to have one, well, I still do, but my sister is using it, it broke in a way that mouse 4 (the larger thumb button just BROKE) and mouse1 wont stay "down"... if I press it for a few seconds (spray and pray?) it just wont shoot that long... so I got a copperhead, which ALSO broke, and now I got a g5 (new version) from the same shop, as I took the copperhead back ;)
I had G5, but switched to DeathAdder.
The best switch ive done =D
Deathadder is just the best to hold (imo), and Ive heard the performance is good =P
switch to logitech g5 =))
razer > all

take g5 only if u're highsenser, cuz it skips really easily.
