Any good? I hear there is an exactly the same version of this mouse out there with the same exact specs etc however, it doesn't contain FIRE and is considerbly cheaper? A4-TECH XL-740K?

Chars

Sidenote: Apparently I can't tell the difference between the ENTERTAINMENT section and the HARDWARE section.

That looks like a mouse for gamerchavs.

No idea, but what is the use of weights in a mouse anyway?
Surely it can't make all that much of a difference.

I'm suprised you know what a chav is Deej. What's the equiv. of an american chav?

I thought that when I bought my G5, but I find it does change the feel a fair bit, which is odd.


Also, just buy a G5, they're reliable and not made of chav :P

I also have a G5 and I have to say it does make a difference. The feeling of momentum is totally different. Instead of the mouse feeling like an empty shell, it feels like something with actual mass, and the amount is easily tailored to your preference. It's not something that I'd go out of my way for, but it is a welcome feature.

And there isn't really a direct American equivalent for chavs, but ricers and wiggers (a.k.a. white nig**rs) sort of fill those roles. Also, guidos.

Guidos are possibly the most fucked up things to ever soil the Earth.

Worse than atomic bomb famine ebola eye socket rape by a sweaty transsexual looking like a rough rosie o'donnell.

That doesn't work because I'd happily pork every crazy flavour of hot Japanese chick. Case in point -

just... no.

Whatever.

As for the mouse, seems a bit serious business/l33t with that paintjob, but I like it in a shameful fast and the furious way. Dunno if it's any good, but buy it if you want it is my advice.

Ever used a Logitech MX510 or 518? they're the same shape as the G5, so if you like the shape, it's a good bet.

mx518 is gooood, solid as a brick (a brick made of plastic, but still a brick) good button layout (I never use the sensitivity and maximize buttons though) and not too expensive as well.

:above: the G5 is the never one, with tilty wheel, and massive feets.

It is too one, I'm using it right now.

It's good. The variable weights are a bit pointless but otherwise an excellent mouse.

They're kinda pointless, Since I got the weight right for me, I've not touched them, but I do like the ability to add a bit of weight to make it feel how I want it
