Customer Review: Best Mouse I have Ever Used
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm not exactly sure what the problem was with the other reviewers, but this is the best mouse I have ever used. I'd bet that J. Barnes has a USB or motherboard issue, not a mouse issue. Also, I've used this mouse when playing Battlefield 2142 with no problems, so I'm sure Russell Keller's problems are strictly user-error.
Back to the mouse:
1. The optical sensor on this mouse is fantastic. You can use it with high precision on nearly any surface, including ones that are glossy. Other optical mice I have used do not work on glossy surfaces.
2. The weight cartridge is an amazing feature because it allows you to fully customize the weight and feel of this mouse. Weight and "heft" are typically important factors for me when buying a mouse, as I prefer heavier mice because they seem to glide smoother.
3. The sides of the mouse are textured and are easy to grip.
4. The scroll wheel is quiet and smooth, and the in-game sensitivity buttons definitely come in handy.
5. The cord seems durable and high quality, and not easily frayed or broken.
6. The large PTFE "feet" really allow this mouse to glide smoothly across nearly any surface.
My only complaint about this mouse is that it has no left-side "forward" button, only a "back" button. I find the forward button to be convenient when using a web browser.
Overall, I fully recommend this mouse, especially at this price. I bought it for full price nearly 9 months ago, and it was probably the best investment into my computer I have made thus far.
Customer Review: GREAT for gaming
Summary: 5 Stars
I went from a stock ball mouse (<200dpi@200hz) to the G5 (2000dpi@500hz) and my accuracy in FPS's improved dramatically. The mouse just feels natural in my hand, w/ no buttons you can accidentally push (unlike the G3). The scroll wheel feels very smooth and doesn't skip over weapons when switching. The dpi buttons are useful for lowering sensitivity for menus or sniping. I thought the weight cartridge was a gimmick, but increasing the weight by up to 50% actually makes a difference (I play at max weight/sensitivity: 146g/2000dpi). I'd recommend the G5 to anybody: it's very precise, has very responsive buttons, feels like it can last forever under heavy use, and looks pretty cool to boot.Customer Review: still the best gaming mouse
Summary: 5 Stars
I have no comment about the battlefield 2142 edition design but this mouse itself is still the best gaming mouse for now. The review with the person who got it DOA it happens and thats bad luck. That review is credible, the one about the person who couldn't even get it to work with battlefield don't blame the mouse. It has 3 DPI settings which u can switch with buttons on the fly, weights, non slip grip, Teflon feet, durable cable that doesn't get stuck what more do you want. I am going to buy another one soon, I hope it does get beat (competition makes everything better/cheaper) so they come out with something even better but until then this is the best.Customer Review: a good purchase
Summary: 5 Stars
eh.. i bought this mouse just because of the bf2142 designs it had on and it was the only one on the shelf. Now as a mouse... it's good. I haven't really messed with the weight thing but i'm sure it's helpfull somehow? other then that it's been really good to me and i got it at for like 50bucks at walmart(6months ago?). I probably not gonna buy a new mouse for a long time... or til i decide to go wireless.Customer Review: AWESOME Mouse
Summary: 5 Stars
Not much to say other than this is an AWESOME mouse - best I have ever owned. DO NOT go cordless if you are a serious gamer - use this.
Graphics are ok and for the price, you can't go wrong.
UPDATE 03/2011 - Still the best mouse ever invented. Works great. Graphics are sweet also.. Love the quick speed button change on top - unbeatable for gaming.
