Just curious; how is the G400 nothing like the MX518? It's the exact same shape, the earlier models even had sensors with prediction like on the MX518.
It just felt less 'worth the money', it's kind of hard to describe, let's take the mousewheel for expamle, it just felt not very reliable when scrolling. I'm not talking about the sensor, just the way the mouse feels in my hand.
You guys are probably talking about different mice. The G400 is not the G400s, they're two different products.
I'll always prefer a mouse that just mouses well. I hate gimmick features. If it were my choice, I'd have something just like the G400 except without a scroll wheel. I guess it's a minority opinion because I've never really heard anyone else complain about scroll wheels, but I think it's a ****ty, useless innovation. If we could go back to mice having a button in the center instead like they did back in the unix days, we'd be so much better off. I never really use my scroll wheel in games, but a central button is something I could use all the time.
Eh, the G400s and G400 are pretty much identical physically, the only difference is the surface materials on part of the s and the new sensor. Shape is pretty important for how a mouse feels, so considering that they are the exact same shape I think considering them widely different products is a bit weird.
Any mice out there the same shape as the G5 or its successors, or a bit wider?
If you want that shape I think you'll have to stick with Logitech, no other brand(that I am aware of) uses that shape or anything that feels much like it. The G500s is probably your best bet, but it's pretty much the same shape as the G5, although I think the thumb rest is a bit wider.
