Howdy all,
So recently my G500's LMB switch is starting to spaz, registering very rapid double clicks, so it's pasture time. I've been doing a bit of research into mice now and there is quite a wealth of information here (thanks guys!). Back in 2011 when I bought the G500 I just literally selected the most reviewed mouse on Newegg and rolled with it.
There are some things I like about it. I really like its ergo grip but for me it's not conducive to palming. I still tip grip it; I never found its back high enough? I actually had to learn to use a normal mouse pad because the POS wrist rest gel pad I used forever + tip grip on the G500 = extreme carpal, only took a year to figure that out. But I digress.
After reading the guide here, I'm not entirely sold on the optical > laser debate but I have been looking at two opticals that seem nice: Steelseries Rival and the Roccat Kone *. Anyone have tips for someone moving away from the G500? Unlike keyboards I'd like this to be a one-and-done! As for its use, I do steadily game but am not crazy about sensitivity settings. In fact, I just turned off native acceleration on the G500 and my pointer seizes across the screen! I guess I should get use to it.
I also use an Artisan Hien L in wine red. Absolutely love that pad!
