IM getting a new mouse.. wanna help me pick one out..

G5 is overrated. It's supposed to be more accurate but i dont think it's much difference. Besides the G5 only have one thumb button, thats why i got the mx518

Logitech G5 or MX-518. Both killer mice, both perform well in gaming. Minor differences in the button layout but unnoticable when blasting fools.

MX Revolution.

It's wireless, has a recharging dock, a full charge lasts a week if you use it alot, it has left and right click, a forward and reverse, left and right scroll, middle click, and a thumb wheel foreward and reverse. All of the buttons are bindable with the included software, so I use mine for squad talk, prone, parachute, the secondary command key, switching to knife and pistol, and changing views and positions in vehicles. It alos looks a lot cooler than the G series IMO. It's a sort of matte grey with reflective black trim and polished aluminum wheels.

Some of the negatives include a mere 800dpi sensitivity which is low for a laser mouse. Won't make much of a difference unless you play over 1024x768. Still doesn't change much for me though at the highest BF2 allows. It's also prone to interference from other devices in it's frequency. I get something that makes it jump every now and then. So far not often enough to make me go in search of it but some of the culprits nearby are my router, subwoofer, or monitor. Could be my cell phone to, although there are no Bluetooth devices nearby.

I bought it for $100, which wasn't really worth it, but if you can find it for $75, it is a VERY good mouse and I'm happy with it.

i have a razer copperhead and its pretty nice. But you should just go to a local store and try out the mouses there. I know bestbuy has G5s and copperheads on display.

Yep, I have had my Mx518 for about a year now I guess and it still going strong. A good mouse, but if you want a mouse that can handle higher DPI than try looking for another one.

I know someone is going to say use the "search" anyway but...

What is everyone opinion on the mousing surface? Anyone buy anything special (extra flat) for the mouse to rest on? I'm still old school on my mouse as well. Looking to buy one but will need to replace this mouse pad because it has about 1k worth of divots in it from times I kinda got mad. I'm sure the laser would have a time measuring correctly on this pad.
