Personally, I have the new G5 mouse and am presently using it. I haven't had any of the problems described in the review. I find that the sides of the mouse offer plenty of grip for my purposes. Also, I haven't had any issues with mis-clicks when pressing the middle mouse button. I also haven't had any issues with mouse creep. That may be due to the fact that I have a fairly large amount of weight in the weight tray and enjoy the heavy feel of the mouse. I also am running the mouse at 2000 dpi. I found the added speed to a bit of getting used to, but have been rewarded with a greater speed at a good precision when I finally got used to the extra speed. Using mice at work has come to be a pain with how slow and imprecise they are.

I don't run at 2000 dps. I think I actually like 800 best so far, but I really do agree with you that the material on the sides offers adequate grip. I don't know what crazy secretions are coming out of the hands of the reviewer, but I find the G5 to be the grippiest mouse I've used.

I love my old G5, it works just so well. I have used many mice, and its definetly the best. Doubt I will upgrade to the new G5, its just unneeded since the old one is so good, its still working great after a couple years.
While fixing the graphics for this article, I find the older G5 looks much cooler than the new one. What's up with the generic cracked-earth texture?

How else do you think they doubled the RPS. I mean if it was carbon fiber the RPS would be 5000.

"Faith: not wanting to know what is true."

Nice review imo. I bought new G5 in my local store today because my previous mouse was about to die anyway.
And well, I got to say it works more or less just like it reads from the review - with small ado that my fingers are not slipping from the sides

I am picky about my mice too. I have boughten one to many in my hunt for the best. But day one when logitech offered the pre-order/C&C 3 promotion. I ordered!

Best mouse I have ever had, it has it all. I doubt I will be buying a mouse again anytime soon they would really have to step things up. I did not get the first G5 because it did not have that forward button.

If you're buying a new mouse, go to your favorite computer store and see what one feels best. I tried everything out for feel and ended up spending $70 (Ouch!) on a Razer Copperhead. It's slides silky smooth on it's teflon feet and fits my hand perfect. I watched my fragrate jump way up on AA and I'll never go back. I still use my trackball for UO to save my wrist, but for FPS games the Copperhead is King.

I reject your reality and substitute my own.

I have had mine for a few months. im pretty happy with it, but given Im way to lazy to program any of the buttons (just like my g15 KB) I could have stuck with my $29.95 microsoft.

I have the original G5 and am very happy with it :) The fact that you can customise every button to whatever you want, including keystrokes, his a huge bonus especially for games that don't support all the buttons natively. Nice that the newer version has the extra button, and I'm sure it'd come in handy as taking away some of the reliance on the keyboard is nice. Not worth me upgrading IMO though, especially since I have a G15 keyboard to go with it :D
