I use a Microsoft Explorer 3.0 but you won't find one anywhere cause I'm the only man alive still using it :olo:

I slaughtered ebay so hard, that's why I have 3 of those babies..and I kiss 'em every night before going to bed.

For you loosers, I heard the brand new MS6000 is really good but I never tried it..Logitech MX518 seems good too.

Make sure you stay away from everything else, seriously.

To everyone out there who wants to get serious gaming performance out of their mice, MAKE SURE YOU STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM ANYTHING WITH A TILT WHEEL TECH, K?

I have no problem with it. The mouse button on the G5 is raised pretty high and has a bit of resistance to it that makes it fairly easy to use without the problems you describe. Personally I had more problem with the 2 thumb buttons on the MX518 than with the tilt buttons on the G5

Allright lemme guess, I bet you're using mouse scroll to change weapons?

what ive been thinking about getting :ninja:
I have found that the MX1000 will eventually loose its tracking after being recharged a few times. Forget flick shots if you use an MX1000.

the best mice I've ever used were the G5 or the MX518

Will I notice a difference in playing with an MX-518 after an MX-500?

On paper the G5 is better, 6.4mpixel/s vs 5.8mpixel/s, 2000dpi vs 1600dpi, 500Hz usb vs 125Hz usb... and its on sale for $50 at best buy and the mx-518 is on sale for $40 at futureshop...

I was pretty happy with the MX518 coming from the MX510

the MX518 is a great mouse....I dont think you will be disappointed.

personally I went from a MX518 to a G5 and I was really suprised at how much better it feels, since the MX518 is a damn good mouse. If you dont mind spending the extra cash for it, its worth it.

I've gone through alot of logitech mice, in my experiance the G5 is the bet one I've ever used.

Nice RED Xs sir
[size=75][i]I once had a glass of milk.

It curdled, and then I couldn't drink it. So I mixed it with some water, and it was alright again.

I am now sick.

I almost got the G5, but it only has one thumb button, which I didnt like. I was used to the two buttons on the MX518, and the MX1000 had three so I ended up getting that one.
