Lookie what I got! - Page 2

Stormcrow · August 23rd, 2007

Oh man, the mouse I bought for my first system was a MX510, same color. Got it some 4 years ago, when it was top of the line and had the highest tracking. I've used that baby since I got it daily here until about a week ago. The teflon feet are long gone, the paint job fading away, covered in scratches and wear and tear but the little champ keeps right on plugging away like it did when I first opened it up. Awesome mouse, definitely want to see a versus with the G5

that Logitec G5 Was available on Newegg combined with bf2142 for 48 bucks =P

If I needed a mouse, I'd mos def have gotten it :)

Haha, I'm still using one of those Compaq "ball" (no laser) mouses! Maybe it's time for an upgrade................

My gf's mom uses the ball, and I'm gonna be honest, except for games, that mouse is really good. Requires 1/5 the desk space as a laser mouse.

unless U were using a ball-tracked mouse, not the type with a big red ball on it that U move with your thumb.

yeah i upgraded from a MX510 (blue) to a G5 without the forward button. kinda sucks not having the button anymore. the 510 has been relegated to my travel mouse now and is here in baghdad with me

Yep, a ball-tracked mouse, no big red ball.

The new G5, does it have any other features besides the new forward button, or is that it? I just set my "back" button as middle click instead, because middle clicking with the scroll wheel seems a bit clumsy

what's the deal with the weights? do they really make a difference with balancing?
