I got 50 dollars to spend from a Christmas check. A G5 is, currently 54.99 at Newegg with free shipping. Should i go for it? Explain either opinion. Karma for help, as always.

I already have an MX518, which will go on my older computer if I get this.

To those saying yes, why?

Just search around the forum here, there are a lot of old Threads about the G5 with all its pros and cons. (not a lot of cons im my opinion but check it out anyway)

Sidenote : Before buying a mouse, find a store that has them on display, so you can try them out. Everybodys hand is a bit different.

Yes, I got the G5 and it is great in game or for daily use it has never given me any problems whatsoever.

I cuddle up with my G5 as I fall asleep each night. 

It has a different texture cord than most mice.  It prevents it from snagging on the back of your desk.  Well-designed, imo.

Yes, get the G5, I have it and I love it.  I've never used an MX518 before though but I play my best with the G5.

Hmm so?

Comes with an extra battery so when 1 runs empty you can switch to the other in a second.

Used to have a wireless mouse, even with the extra battery, I'd still run out in karkand or something, and have to go through 15 secs of noobishness. Got G5, and it owns.

Razer Copperhead if you can get used to a new mouse shape.  It's the best.
G5 if you like "classic" mouse shapes.  I recommended it to my friend and I have to say, it's pretty good.

g7 is win because 7 second battery change, plus indicators, plus only one button to keep track of, plus no wires, and the wireless is like 2.4 GHz and I can use it from downstairs (dont need to but thats how lagg-less and strong the signal is) plus a battery that lasts like 15 hours of gaming, plus two batteries. (charge one, use one)

Doesnt mean you cant buy it...

And id say its more like Vinyl... People say that you cant really find them, however they are still available... and some argue that theyre better than whats currently on the market...

Since the G7 is just a wireless G5, it's total win. I have one.
