Hey Guys,
My mouse broke a few hours ago, and therefore I am forced to buy a new one. My slection, after half an hour of searching, is now between two very good professional gaming mouse's.
1st one is the Logitech G5 laser mouse.
http://www.everythingusb.com/logitech_g5_laser_mouse.html (http://www.everythingusb.com/logitech_g5_laser_mouse.html)
2nd choice is the Mx518 mouse.
http://www.everythingusb.com/logitech_mx518.html (http://www.everythingusb.com/logitech_mx518.html)

Now you are wondering why the heck I am hesitate when there's the G5 LASER mouse.
Well, as you can see in the review it only has ONE thumb button, and I need two for UT2004. :S
The top for the rocket launcher and the other for the Flak cannon.
Oh, and by the way, the G5 logitech laser mouse is R700 whereas, the MX518 is R460.
Plz help me http://www.helix.co.za/forums/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif Help is always appreciated

But the G5 has ultra precision.. Why do you think the Mx518 is better?

The mouse is only as precise as the player, and the 'ultra-precision' for R240 isn't really worth it IMHO.

my mx500 does not skip.

how much more precision do you REALLY need?

Using the MX518 and love it. Especially those thumb buttons and the fact that you can double bind keys in UT.

I would go for the G5 and reset my weapon config , I use the lower thumb button for the flak and roll back on mousewheel for RL.

Give that a try =)

I'm sure the G7 would be a great gaming mouse for RTS or RPG, I just feel a slight delay when I use wireless mouse's for FPS, it can be just my imagination but I prefer mouse's with tails.
