The shape and weight of this mouse are awesome, but it looks like it applies a lot of interpolation to your movements.
It just filters off all jerky and shaky movements, and tries to turn everything you do into a uniform movement along a straight line. You try to make a shaky seismogram-like line, and you get a straight line. You try to draw a V and you get a U.
It IS possible to make movemets that are not uniform lines, but it takes much more effort, sice the mouse will cut off and suppress all movements that exceed a certain acceleration, so all you can do is making a bigger movement to compensate. Even with high sens, I have to throw my arm around the table to perform "snappy" movements, whereas with the g5 at same sens and same dpi every little shaking of my hand would immediately result in big shaking of the crosshair.
To summarize, it feels like a mouse designed for players affected by parkinson, since it assumes that every jerky movement that you do is unintentional, and cuts it off. The next step is a mouse that automatically phones to your relatives and informs them that you are having a seizure, when the shaky movements last for too long :(

Yes of course I wrote it -_-
lies >D i can make a normal U with my g3 if i try that and it wont result in a V :D:DD
i dont got any probs with the mouse :)
But yeah, I can draw a V with the g3, it was just an exaggerated example
like u said it has to your movement but also aim or not?
Still it leaves a strong impression of using crutches :D
only mouses i know dont have this are WMO IMO 1.1 IME 3.0
but i would guess having little prediction is an advantage in game like ET
By the way do you have more info on this prediction thing? Which mice have it, and how it works?
Also the g5 is weird in that it feels different depending on the dpi and surface, while the g3 performs pretty much always the same way
razer + logitech mouses all have it at some level
my V is perfect :D
And they are not really "problems", just a debatable way to do things
and the weight system is retarded
