BF2S Forums G5 vs G7

Deathadder is better

No seriously, it's what you prefer - a heavy but free mouse or a lighter but wired mouse. If you tend to be on the unlucky side in gaming, your battery will probably run out while you're playing, so I always prefer a wired mouse, also the surface of the G5 seems not as glitchy as the one of the G7.

neither

Copperhead.

end off.

naah

copperhead ftw

it has shiete loads more features than what a g5/7 had.

ultra polling

on the fly

all that crap.

I like my G5, the adjustable weight is nice + the modifyable dpi.. along with 1-3 buttons to modify, its pretty much all you need for gaming, graphics and most other things.. you dont need heigher dpi's than the 2K it puts out.. when I'm at my max setting I'm only running 1350, and I think that is too fast sometimes..

omfg yeah it turned out to be a razer vs. logitech battle. Well, to be honest, the best sensor is the infrared sensor of the DeathAdder is the top sensor among gaming mice. Lasers are ftl in general.

yh^don't listen to what he says :p

Wireless devices do not suck for gaming. Anyone who says otherwise is a fucking paranoid and should be wearing tin-foil hats and waiting for "them" to come.

They work fine for every day use and gaming. There is obviously a lag time because of the transmission, but it is so negligible you won't notice it at all. If you buy one from a decent company (Logitech, Microsoft) they'll work fine.

I have a G7, it's very nice. It turned one year old last Christmas, we had a small birthday party for it. I've never had any lag issues with it, and the battery switching mechanism is very quick and easy. If you're a 'serious gamer', just swap in a fresh battery before a match. Otherwise just learn to realize that these are video games, not life-or-death situations.

edit: Between G5 and G7 it's just personal preference. Do you not mind wires, or do you like having as few cables as possible? I personally think that the G7 is only half-wireless; it still has a wire from the receiver to the computer. When they start making everything on USB dongles rather than big giant receivers that still have wires, then I'll call them true wireless =p

Totally agree with you. I have a G7 too. The batteries really do last for a long time. The reason why I got the G7 was because of how many cords I have around the back of my computer and I prefer a mouse that has the least amount of cords. Like Hurricane said, it all comes down to how you like your mice, either way you look at it, the G5/G7 are both good mice despite what other people say.

Edit: Wait... can't you use the G7 with the big receiver or the little USB dongle. I just noticed that on my receiver that you can remove the USB thingy.

that or the G5, they are both excellent mice

and whatever you do DONT go Razer, they are not actually better and all they really have is a bunch of fanboys backing them, when in reality they're not very good at all

The MX518 is better than both. If you go Razer, get a DeathAdder.
