I have it and it's the most comfortable mouse I've ever used. Absolutely amazing.

G500

It will be what I buy when this (my fifth) MX518 wears out...

Your thoughts, insights, and musings on this matter intrigue me

I like the smaller grip that comes with the G9.

Go to Best Buy or something and try them out. Then go online and find somewhere cheaper to buy it

G9 looks like a brick, only less ergonomic

It looks like a brick but it's comfortable if you're the kind of person that holds their mouse with their finger tips

as opposed to this

Yep and for example G5 and MX518 do not work for fingertip people. Deathadder works just fine but I had to put some grip tape to the sides because otherwise they got very slippy. Good mouse for the price this is, unless you need extra buttons. Deathadder only has two special buttons.

I'm a fingertip person and my g5's been fine tbh it's fairly big and long. Only problem is my little finger drags and can get painfull after a days use.
I'd still reccomend it though, its a good, solid mouse

I'd type my pc specs out all fancy again but teh mods would remove it. Again.

I use MX518 with fingertips just fine.

@OP: I've had 2 MX518s... first one died due to a cord problem, saw no reason to switch, cheap enough (about $50), DPI switching, 2 extra buttons, comfy etc

The thumb slot in the right side of the g5/mx518 made them impossible for me to use

Open the mouse and under the button there's a pin that presses the switch, add a tiny bit of super glue at the end of it making it slightly longer. Let it dry and reassemble the mouse. Did that to my copperhead after having some response issues with the button and it works flawlessly now.

@ DU & Ebug
I hold my MX518 / G5 / G500 with my fingers, but only because no mouse is big enough to properly fit my hand :<

I abselutely hate mice that use the style most razers do... can't see how people can stand them.... different hands I guess

G5 and similar is only one that fits my big hands. Can use it long without any discomfort, opposed to fingertip technique on the Razers -> pain.

G9, but as stated earlier, it really does depend on how you hold your mouse.

I personally love my G9, build quality is solid and it's the best mouse i've ever used.

I guess where that's we all differ. I've had my MX Revolution for 2 months now and I can't imagine buying another mouse without it. I'm a palm user though.
