So there were a couple of G9s lying around at work, and I figured I'd take one home and give it a try as I could easily return it. I've been a logitech fanboy for a long time now anyway. Verdict: this mouse is the awesome of being terrible. People don't have square hands, its shape sucks. The wide grip is also uncomfortable. The edges of the mouse snag my mousepad whenever I pick it up and move it. Its texture is designed to make my hand sweat buckets. I can't really think of a single way in which this mouse is better than my current G5, it simply sucks in my opinion

That said I can't stand my G5 anymore because

See where the thumb goes? most sane people grip their mouse right at the bottom when they're playing videogames, me included. Except there's a relatively sharp edge right there on the G5 where it curves outwards, so after an hour of playing games my thumb is hurting from the deep groove pressed into it

So yeah I'm looking for a mouse that is pretty much like this G5 but without the sharp edge, or whatever you want to personally recommend. A flat left side for comfortable thumbing is mandatory

I use a mouse pad because my desk is scratched to shit and because a good pad is very comfortable.

Razer Lachesis

Got it in black, had it for years, love it to bits.

I've got the 518 at work and at home.  I've never seen a sharp edge, let alone have it hurt my thumb.

it's also that I use mice differently because I have a very very low sensitivity, as in I need to move my mouse by an an entire qck+ (45cm) to look behind me ingame. That requires a different grip than with higher sensitivities. Several reviews mentioned that the Razer lachesis wasn't good with low sens either.

Looks good, apparently is good for low sensitivity too. How's your experience with it been?

Why don't you keep your thumb in the groove? oO

I c. Razer's are the way to go then. They are made for small hands where as G5 is for big hands like mine.

...when you say "right on the bottom" do mean like touching the mousepad? I'm a little confused, my G5 feels great... thumb fits in the groove nicely...

That being said, i understand everyone is shaped differently, and getting what's comfortable makes sense.


And Setpoint is working on win7.

Razer Deathadder is what me and most of my friends use. We all love it, and I've had it for ages.

Razer Mamba if you have the money, though.

all the razer shapes look pretty much the same. I'll have to get hands-on with one then

grab your g5 as you normally would
extend your thumb and lay it on the mousepad/whatever surface you're on
now move your thumb back against the bottom edge of the g5 while still touching the mousepad/whatever
properly hold it like that for an hour
enjoy your indent

Ah. Hmmm... my thumb doesn't like to sit there, it just rolls back into the groove. I guess i have larger hands

My roommate a few years ago has a razor, it's pretty nice. You might like it.
