Sujoy Roy owner of ESReality has published a fantastic Mouse review called the ESReality Mousescore 2007. It is most certainly one of the best independent and encompassing reviews ever witnessed. Written by one of the UK's most successful proffesional gamers Sujoy has benchmarked mice based on:- Perfect Control
- Malfunction Speed
- DPI
- Maximum Accel

Logitech > all q.e.d.
I've tried getting one everywhere, but no-one has em in stock anymore.

G1 is better than G3 if you don't need 2000 dpi ? I have both and the only things i can say is rofl...
I like it tho, so many buttons and i use them all in ET :)
It's like Honda Civic 1995 2.0 i > Honda Civic 2004 2.0 i :P
ofc both are taken straight from facotry :P And i mean new line vs old
I was going to bye G5 but now, I leave my 518 <3
I have both of them, but 518 is <3
U take mouses, mx500 and mx300, tune the mx300 to 500hz and then it crushes the mx500 wich is 125hz.
Ok u bought 2 random cars, make the other 500 horsepower
and the other remains 50bhp, and now lets race whit em.
----
and i bought G5 whit 70€ and some windows 1.1 optical_cant_fit_in_ur_hand_mouse PWNS the shit out from it? i dont belive in this test. G5 and mx series fit to hand
razer,ms, and others not. ergonomy was not tested, or judged, mx/g5 would pwn em all
I tried overclocking all the mice, but only some performed differently. Where I don't talk about overclocking it's because there is no difference in the response.
with difference settings to make G5 look shitty mouse.
And he didint speak about how easily razer mouses break.
ACCORDING TO THIS TEST,WINNER WITHOUT PERFORMANCE TWEAKING IS: MX518
G5 is beatifull
G5 is ergonomy
G5 is the shiznit
if you re not an uberlow sens user you might not give a fuck to what this test is talkin about. but if like me you re willing to find anymouse able not to be full of skipping and neg accel @my sensitivity. this test might come in handy.
so plz luv your mouse and stop whine for nothing
so why not ergonomy? number of buttons does not have anything to do whit performance?
and im a lowsens user. dont have any probs or neg accel, this test is bs
get ur facts right b4u whine to me.
Probably because it's very subjective. He did comment on the shape and button placement on some mice, but in the end it's impossible for him to judge which mouse anyone else feels comfortable with.
Who buys a gaming mouse without knowing what it feels like in your hand anyway?
and btw not every one likes the shape of the g5 mx bla imo it sux hard
although i no lefty :D
j/k
just shut up, you're an idiot.
This test is not about ergonomics, it's about performance. And shape is preference as well.
Just a little story, how it fits to hand.
is it too small, too big.
So if there would be a 25button mouse, it would win this test?
Buttons are smth everyone can associate with.
Good mouse test would be:
performance
ergonomics
buttons
price/quality rate
and thousand of comments by users own exp.
and i mean Nice comments, not xfire flame
Same thing with value rating - people can compare the 'benchmarks' between mice and make up their own mind on where the price/performance sweet-spot is.
Having said that, people seem to like to be spoon-fed stuff these days.
''coz they are good for most of the people''
or do u have like 40inch thumb?
Egronomics is personal thingy.
If anyone can understand what i just wrote ;)
Since i have 9 binds on my mouse (out of 10 possible) i just can't imagine reaching for wheel with other than middle finger and reacting quickly in game.
Try holding mouse the way it's meant to be held, you'll see that it fits in your hand perfectly, couse if i hold it with 2 it feels like i'm using brick.
Edit: i just asked friend how he holds his mouse, he uses 2 fingers for buttons but his ring finger is resting on mouse right next to button2, so that's 3rd way of holding it :)
I don't have that button in front of the scroll wheel (G5) and btw, imo that button in front of the scroll wheel is the stupidest place for a button.
But I have 5 binds bound to the scroll wheel itself and I can access them even in firefights if needed. So that's not a problem for me.
It's all about how it feels in your hand i just can't hold it other way, if you can than there's no problem :P
That button was the best thing that ewer happened, the tip of my middle finger rests on it all the time so i can use it with no problem, i use the other button above wheel too with same ease.
G5 is very very nice mouse but i miss all those buttons (maybe they should make G5.5 or smth ;). There's only 1 button on side if i'm not mistaken and that's clearly not enough just because of browsing on internet (i use both forward as often as back), beside that i think that DPI changing buttons are waste of space, or i could get used changing DPI when changing application (windows/game) but than you have 2 buttons less which gets rly annoying.
Again it's all about personal needs, and gamestyle. I have binds that allow me to hold WASD + mouse1,2,3 all the time without letting single button during playing, everything is max 2 buttons away from direction keys and that's the way i like it.
:]
And now it turned out that MX510 is too good for me anyways, i used it at 125Hz and didn't have any problems, 500 helped a lil but that's just a cherry on the top. The only thing i'm worried about is max speed in windows, couse my speed in drivers is on max (no accel) and it's just fast enoguh, bigger screen and i'm fucked.
(oh fuck I hate this I in every English sentence it makes me feel so selfcentred or smth. I would recomend Slovenian language for international - where we add personal pronouns (if i spelled this correctly) to the beginning/end of words (many other languages have that but not english):)
You can't have arms that won't fit on G5 for example.
making a review and talking if shape and all the other stuff is good is pointless (if the reader isnt intrested if the reviewer likes apples or oranges)
dunno why he included number of buttons in one of the charts because its also down to preference
Based on the technology that powered the best-selling Logitech® MX 510 Performance Optical Mouse, the Logitech® G1 Optical Mouse is ideal for gamers and PC power users alike
Guess it would look a little like the G1's performence...
He tested the maximum speed of the mice, but not the maximum acceleration.
The mx518 has an higher maximum speed than the g5, and that's something that I noticed too; but the maximum acceleration it can detect is much smaller. This means that as long as you move the mouse @ not too large distances (let's say 10 cm), you can turn faster with the g5. Also, for things that require instantaneous changes of speed, such as compensating pistol/sniper recoil in et, the g5 performs much better. This is not only supported by my personal experience: if you look at the specifications on logitech page, it does actually show maximum accelerations, and the reported value for the g5 is higher
The Logitech page doesn't state a max speed for the mx518. And as I don't know how they measured their values, I wouldn't want to compare them to another review. (Maybe the max speed given by Logitech for the mx518 would as well be lower than that of the G5?)
And shouldn't they both hit the max speed and max accel at the same time?
But to my experience, being a long time lowsenser, mx518 max speed > g5 max speed but mx518 max accel < g5 max accel
As a matter of fact, with the g5 I can trickjump much better than with the mx518 @ same sens, because I am more efficient at the "throwing" part of the mouse motion (which requires a very sudden acceleration, and brief movement)
I also noticed that max acceleration depends on the dpi setting, being higher for lower dpi, on both the g5 and mx518 (this on linux, with direct input enabled).
My aim didint improve, it didint go bad either. same settings and all....
allmost zero friction and the cursor/aim is smooth as babys ass.
(never had that mouse, so dno)
this from raziels learn how to fucking aim documents :P
1000hz?
might end up burning ur computer.
