G5 is good, but I heard that a honorable mention should go to the new version of the g3 that does less aggressive mouse smoothing than the previous version (and is therefore more similar to the g5) :D

These guys don't know anything if they give any awards to laser mouses :)

laser is better :D

Spirea 29 Jan 2008, 02:44
Laser mouses don't really read how the mouse is moving, but they are mostly guessing and calculating it... That's why they are far from accurate
Parent

Sgt.Pepper 29 Jan 2008, 02:52
thought the old optical mice had more prediction built in than the new laser ones

shouldnt matter what mouse you use anyway.

mikk 29 Jan 2008, 01:46
imo, it's all about adaptability. Use a mouse for a month or so, and you'll already have the best mouse you can own.

old g5 is the best mouse ofc

Mice are overrated. Just play with what you feel comfortable with!

I have the ikari atm but first i had the G5.
I think the ikari feels better then the G5 but you need to get used to the shape of the mouse.

Quote: The G5 is an improvement over the G3 if you prefer some of the added features: extra buttons, tilt wheel, dpi display, weight cartridge. However the poor laser performance doesn't justify the increased price tag in my eyes. Infact it seems like madness to spend more on a G5 instead of the vastly superior MX518, unless you really, really want the weight cartridge.

G5 shit problems and fixes:

Word of warning about the MX518:

There is a new upgraded version out these day that can go up to 1800dpi(original 1 did max 1600dpi), i got 1 of these but strangely it can go all the way up to 2000dpi(in setpoint) and it has skipping problems unlike the rock solid original one witch i also have and love/use.
It could just be me getting a bad one, anyway if you are looking to buy a mx518 first try and find the original one who can do max 1600dpi and get that ;>

i used to play with logitech mx518, logitech g5. now i play on deathadder. Logitech mx518 is a brilliant mouse but deathadder fits better for me. Mostly because it weights less. I had to change my grip a little bit. Mx518 was a way better profiled. I recommend DA :)
