SO, my crap g5 is on its way out. The carrying back and forth between work, uni and home broke the cable close to the mouse. Overpriced POS :Mad:
Anyways, since I´m gonna need a new mouse for "gaming", I looked at the MX1000. Yay or nay?

mx518 or the g5. the g5 isn't crap - how did you break the cord? my wrapped cable cord seems indestructible.
sounds like a problem with the user, tbh, not the mouse.

I'm loving my G500. I couldn't believe it, but it has replaced my MX518.
Yeah if you managed to break something (other than wearing it down) on a mx518/g5/similar, you have done something to it at some point :p
Isn't the hard plastic annoying compared to a mx518?Ilocano wrote:

Your thoughts, insights, and musings on this matter intrigue me
the plastic shell on my mx518 and g5 are exactly the same

I'm about to take the back casing off. Is there any sort of cleaning or something that I should do around those areas?

A thin plastic film with 2 main layers that send signals through ribbon cables.

not much thicker than a piece of paper. Just tap on it and electrical signals are sent into a little pc board and through the usb cable.
I took it apart completely as above and those keys still weren't working. I washed that thin sheet through the sink in my bathroom and let it dry thoroughly. Works like a charm now. Piecing it back together.

really, bevo? i heard that disassembling the g110/g15 was a fucking nightmare... washing the membrane and then letting it dry actually fixed it? i only spilled water on mine in the first place, so i can't see that anything would have 'stuck' to create the broken and sticking keys. if that works then i may actually try it sometime... waste of a £80 keyboard, otherwise!Bevo wrote:

I still use another MX518 on my work laptop, but I game with the G500. Gets sweaty on the MX518. Never really thought about it on the G500.FloppY_ wrote:

Ayup. Putting it back together is proving to be a bit of a hassle.. but otherwise from what I can tell it works perfectly now. If you had issues with just a couple of keys then I would give it a shot if you've got some spare time. Just clean off those spots on the membrane and dry it off and give it a go. It's easy to check to see if it works because you can directly dry it and plug it in without messing with the keys or anything - just plug in the ribbon cables and the usb connector and tap away.Uzique wrote:

I really like Corsairs cases. The 650D is probably the first case I would buy right now. I just wish they would make a Matx version of it.
I carry the mouse around a lot, between uni and home and apparently under the wrapping is a cheap plastic coating and it broke right outside the mouse.Uzique wrote:

And considering I payed about 70€ for the G5, it performs rather mediocre. The plastic "camouflage" is rough to the touch, the DPI buttons are poorly placed and tend to not work. Overall I was very dissappointed.
Anyways, someone recommend me a cordless mouse for max 50€ pls?
Deathadder all the way. Only mouse I'll ever recommend, but it seems other people hold mice weirdly and don't like it ('Palm' users).
I had that in my hand in a shop one day, feels anything but right imoFFLink wrote:

Also it has a cord. Bu thanks for the tip anyways.
Oh, I'm blind.
Uzi, what was that keyboard you recently got?
for a fatty you're a serious intellectual lightweight.

I owned it back when it was called the MX Revolution and actually traded it in for the G5. The sensivity was totally crap for gaming, like shoving a pregnant cow over a frozen lakeWinston_Churchill wrote:

Is it better now? From the info I could gather it seems to be an improved model over the Revolution, but I can´t find any info on the resolution of the laser, not even on the Logitech page. Do you use it for FPS?
no i dont use it for gaming, but i find the sensitivity much, much better than my G5
Ah, alright. Thanks!

just need a few grand now for one of those tasty new macbook pros as well...
