Rating: - Some G5 issues to consider
I am fairly adept comp user. I play Battlefield 2 and that's mainly why I bought the G5 mouse. It is very smooth, but I have had plenty of problems.
For starters, the mouse cord is braided, which makes it MUCH stiffer than any other mouse cord I have ever seen. It restricted movement so badly, I used a razor blade and cut off the braided sleeve. That solved the problem, but God only knows who ever thought it a good idea to make a stiff mouse cord.
Rating: - Great Mouse!
Originally I purchased this for a gaming system, and I have to say that the G5 has to be the best mouse I've ever used.

Most people dismiss this product as being a right-hand exclusive mouse. I actually bought it unaware that it is marketed as such. Being left-handed has been an altogether different computing experience (gaming and otherwise) for me.

Rating: - It works great for gaming.
And isn't that all that matters?
the mouse is great, it glides along any surface, and is very responsive, especially when using the included mouse pad. If you team this up with the G15 keyboard, you have a great gaming rig. Programmable buttons, a good grip, and quick response times makes this a very good piece of equipment, with a not too shabby price.
Rating: - Great mouse for gaming and general work
This mouse has never missed a beat! The weighting system works well and lets me fine tune the mouse to my liking. I don't mind the cord and this way I don't have to recharge it.
