As opposed to what? Don't you have to have other options, in order to make a decision? At least, what is your old mouse?

Too many extra buttons on this mouse for my taste. I returned my g500 and went back to the mx518 after a few days of use.

True there is a matter of is this a semi-necessity or just another luxury.

I found the G500 for 35 dollars (55 - 20 mail in rebate) + freeshipping, for 35 eh if i needed a new mouse i would get it, that about the cost of any decent mouse ~30, and the G500 is a well reviewed mouse.

it only has like 2 extra buttons, compared to the mx518 and really only one of them you would use, the 3rd button for the thumb lol, anyways i love hyperscroll outside of games i probably can never give that up now. I use a G9x

I'm not a fan of the G500, at all. I'm using a Steelseries Xai at the moment and love it. Plus they sponsor Fnatic and EG, always good to support teams that fund our SC teams. That's the reason I bought it, initially. ^_^

I have a MX518. But my father have to buy a new mouse, and I heard G500 was ok, so I decided to MAYBE buy it tomorrow.... It costs 50 euros, but I will get it for 30...
