BF2S Forums Logitech G9

I've heard that unless you have a baby's hands, your hand will not be able to grasp it because it's too small.

G9 looks bulky and uncomfortable compared to the G5 or MX518

Cheaper too.

I've had two and they both are the same way, I don't really want another G5.

I don't really like the feel of the G5 that much anyway. It's shaped weird. I have a big hand but, it still has a weird style to it.

Meh. It's either the G9 or the MX Revolution, and I don't think the Revolution is as gaming orientated.

isn't that wireless?  Seems as if that would be a little spotty.

^I know what you mean, but corded works so much better then wireless...no battery hassles, no dropouts, connection problems, etc.  My wired G5 has never failed me.

If you get a decent wireless mouse, like a Logitech Revolution or in my case an MX1000, the wireless never drops out. It's only on shity bundles wireless mouses that are teh fail. Plus you don't have to worry about batteries because they have their own docking stations so to be honest; wireless is as good as if not better then wired.

Go with the MX518, it's the best mouse I've ever used.  You won't regret it.

That would be downgrading, don't want to do that.

Am I the only one who thinks that the Razer not only look terrible

FINIALLY!  Couldnt agree more, I hate those fucking things, particularly the guys who own them (no offence), zomg it is laike teh blue neon.  Fuck off, if you want a mouse that looks like a sex toy (a shit one at that) then by all means.  Though, I didnt so much mind the laieches (sp?) that was a nice one I thought, the only razer I would consider.

In all seriousness though, I have the G5 aswell, and I love it, but I see what your saying about wanting something different next time, hell that is what drives the economy.  But I cant really think of anything else other than that, sniper thingy (will edit post with the actual name).

i have the razer lachesis.  looks wise, it's not too bad IMO and has the bling of the pulsating razer logo. 

as far as the usability goes, i guess i have a heavy click finger since whenever i hit 'fire' my mouse moves ever so slightly and i end up missing especially when sniping.  On the bottom are these super slick teflon pads so it's really slippery compared to rubber feet mice i have used in the past.  this is great in some cases and in others, not so good.  the thumb keys on side also have a bit of a hard feel to them.  it takes effort to hold them down.  i use the one for 'sprint' binding so i use it quite a bit and my thumb gets fatigued a bit.  Lastly, the mouse wheel is a bit stiff for my tastes so that when scrolling with it, it becomes easy to actually click the mouse wheel by accident.  The on-the-fly dpi switch feature comes in handy sometimes when you need finer control and i have actually used this in-game sometimes.  also, i have a 30" monitor so the higher dpi settings are cool when you want to move from one side of screen to other without moving your wrist very far (ergo thing).

my only other gripe with the lachesis is the tracking problems.  This has been SOLVED not by upgrading to new drivers but by removing the reflective label surrounding the laser sensor on the bottom of the mouse.  after i did that, no more tracking problems.  kewl!

before this, i had the mx1000 mouse by logitech and loved it.  it was a bit big for my hands but the rotated position was much more comfortable for my wrist (than the lachesis which is straight on position).  the mx1000 was also heavier.  i did notice slight cases of tracking problems due to wireless nature but all in all i was happy with the mouse.
