I have the first generation G5...


I mapped my parachute to the thumb, the yes and no as the right and left scrollwheel click, zoom minimap as pushing down the scroll wheel, and kept left and right the same.

and my left hand never has to leave my keyboard.

You actually want to turn down the in-game sensitivity, but that's kind of a hassle if you're not a dedicated sniper or something. If you are a sniper though, you just put the sensitivity to something you like while keeping the DPI at 2000.
But what if you want to be an armor-whoring sniper?
When you jump out the tank just press the button on top to turn the DPI down?
Almost, I press the bottom dpi setting, which turns down dpi, so im not spinning 360

Fusion, my point was taht 2000DPI is more accurate than lower DPI. Having, idk, 1.0 sensitivity at 2000DPI is more accurate than 2.0 sensitivity at 400DPI or whatever.

I don't need all the buttons so less is better ( I'm not even sure where I would use those )
G5 then

Edit: Although I have a Razer Copperhead myself, the G5 and it are very comparable.  The only difference is buttons, which you say you don't need many of.

If you want BETTER DPI than any Logitech mouse, get a Wolf King Trooper. Up to 2200 DPI (I think someone recently came out with a 2400 DPI, think it was from Microsoft but it was without switching). The Trooper also has burst fire up to 4 shots with a single mouse click. Fucking great for pistol fights!

It's also cheaper and superior than the Logitech mice. The only difference is that it doesn't have weights in it like the top of the line Logitech.

the dpi meand it can go from something like 2000->1600->800dpi. Meaning if you are in armor you set it to 2000 so you can move turret or mouse around screen really fast. Turn it down to 800 when you are sniping or in TV gunner, so you can get very fine adjustments /kill
You actually want to turn down the in-game sensitivity, but that's kind of a hassle if you're not a dedicated sniper or something. If you are a sniper though, you just put the sensitivity to something you like while keeping the DPI at 2000.
If someone knows, what's the difference between game sensitivity of 2.0 and DPI of 1000, or game sensitivity of 1.0 and DPI of 2000?

Seems to me they're the same.

If there really is a difference, is there a console command to increase or decrease sensitivity that could be bound to a key or two?  If so we could change in game sensitivity w/o changing the mouse DPI.

Personally I've got the MX-518 and wouldn't change it except I spilled something on it and now one of the DPI buttons doesn't work.  Looking to get the new G5 now because it has the sensitivity indicator on the side (have to count to keep track of it in game otherwise).

Logitech G9 has up to 3200 DPI.  It's expensive as hell though.

I dont get how thats possible, or comfortable. Since i hold the mouse with my ring finger resting on the part sticking out next to the right button, my thumb is able to easily reach the 2nd button since it is higher up (yes i have big hands, perfect for guitar to)
