edit: why didn't I get a Mx518? They were out in the particular store I went to and I cba. edit: huh, maybe I should read through a thread BEFORE I post rather than after. Anyway, if you can't get a new G5, consider getting one of those mice you hate, because chances are you're just too used to the G5 shape and you don't give the new ones a proper chance. I didn't really like the shape of the G500 in the store but a day or two later I loved it. | ||

Sounds like the exact same faults that have happened with my MX700 and G7 mice, it's actually fixable but it does require some steady hands, maybe some tape, maybe a pair of tweezers. Basically, what happened to mine is that the switches in the mouse suffer from metal fatigue/general wear which makes the clicks functional but unreliable. What I did to fix it was open up the mouse, carefully unbox the switch and then bend and reseat the copper (VERY ANNOYING TO DO) in order to give the switch more "flex" and then reassemble the whole thing. Done that to my G7 about three times now; some of the screws to disassemble the mice are hidden behind the mouse feet and warranty label so if you try it then warranty in the future is completely out of the question. Having owned two expensive logitech mice that exhibited these problems, I probably wouldn't recommend them to heavy users. The mice themselves are a pleasure to use, but i'm not sure the switches inside them were built to last. | ||

And that it's fucking enormous... | ||

MX518 is easily in the top 3 of mouses ever created for gaming. If your personal opinion is that it sucks, then that's fine but it's also ridiculously ignorant. | ||

After that month though I tweaked the sensitivity for each game to perfection. The mouse finally feels really nice, and just doesn't feel horribly awkward to hold. My kill rate in FPS's raised pretty drastically. I can twitch shoot headshot people very easily now, shoot people out of the air much easier, and SC micro became better. Best mouse I've owned so far, just took forever to adapt to. G5 and MX518 are still good mice but this G9X, it just works much better for me. | ||

Same =( I'm gonna hate the world when I get to this predicament! I love my G3 that my older bro got me for a birthday present a few years ago. I hate that they decided to cancel it! | ||

But it does not feel the same. Thanks for this, I will try and tinker with it later tonight. I might shoot you a few PMs if I need any help if that's ok. | ||

You don't have to like it to recognize its good. | ||

If you move it too quickly it doesn't track your motion at all. (Sort of stalls out) The G9x hardly does logitech gaming mice any justice either. Only thing I could remotely recommend for that shape and with the buttons would be the Razer Lachesis or Diamond back...but even those are a far cry from what you want. | ||

But according to this, with 19.5 million clicks since 2007 almost to the day. That means I average 6.5 million clicks a year. So the mouse click is going to wear out just over a year. | ||
