Best Gaming Mouse *Vote*

[masterofpuppets]

I originally voted for MX518, but right now I kinda like this G5. I don't have any of the issues some people seem to be having with it. If it's skipping or acting wierd, just clean the lens with a cotton swab, and I'm sure some people are just having issues with the terribad drivers. Under Linux, I use evdev for input in all games (I use it directly in games that support it like ezQuake or through X for ones that don't) and all movements are smooth and consistant. I don't have any issues with negative acceleration either, perhaps the people whining about it are being stupid and trying to play Quake3-engined games at something higher than 400dpi and not realizing that Quake3 has negative accel issues when you go above that ._. I'd almost certainly buy an MX510 or MX518 if I needed to get another mouse though, I still prefer them. But still, most of the people who try to badmouth G5 are usually terribads trying to blame their problems on their mouse ("LOL ITS NOT MY FAULT I CANT AIM ITS MY MOUSE LOL IF I HAD AN MX510 AGAIN ID BEAT YOU NPNP LOLOL"), or are just genuinely stupid and don't think of cleaning the lens.

Yup, love my G5. Been using a Razer Copperhead (3G or something?) recently as a replacement for my recently-killed (by me) Death Adder, mainly on Fallout 3 (still totally hooked). I didn't like the Copperhead when I first got it and had it put away for ages. Now I absolutely hate it. Feels so overall tiny, and the side buttons just don't feel right at all. I'm always accidentally hitting the right button and, even tho it doesn't have anything assigned to it, it totally throws me off. Was thinking of just getting another G5 or Death Adder, but I think I'll pick up a G9 for something different. (on sale at NCIX atm).
