This mouse is a pretty slick upgrade from my old MX700 but I miss the Forward button.

It is faster in games but for everyday usage it is close to the same.

Although it is significantly lighter. Weighs about as much as an MX510.

honestly, if they added a forward button..........that would be a damn good mouse.

it still is a damn good mouse though.

I just got the MX700 and find that in games, if I lift the mouse and then put it down again, it takes a little bit of time to start tracking again. It's really killing me bad. Do you find that at all with the G7?

How high do you lift the mouse? I've never had that problem.

i can lift it a foot and turn it over and it begins to track teh second it hits the mousepad

Right-click, drag right, goes forward for me ...I miss the button too though. I went from a MX510 to a G5, the MX510 would start tracking weird sometimes. The cursor would just start wobbling really fast until I picked it up and put it down again. This thing at full 2000dpi is just amazing, I usually run it lower though

Sure, go for the clear plastic mod with the lego figure who looks like he's in cryo-genic suspension. One of the cuter/cooler looking mods done.

It's not a long time, it's a very subtle delay. The type where I wouldn't even notice during usage in most applications, but gets me killed in an FPS. I actually think I might have figured it out. The sensor on this mouse is on the left, while the ones on my old dual optical were on the right. Add that to the fact that the mouse is probably heavier on the battery side, and it probably means that the mouse is being lifted unevenly, and I'm subconciously expecting it to track before it hits the desk. Probably something I'll have to get used to eventually.

But another thing with this mouse is that its movement seems very different from my old dual optical. Seems to me to be slower, but has more of that artificial acceleration you can turn on in the mouse properties. But if I turn the speed up 1 and acceleration down 1, it's too fast with not enough accel. Just because the DPI is different, I guess?

why are you picking your mouse up in games?

 

[mercanucaribe]

MX 610 is 10x as comfortable.

I pick my mouse up during games. So you can stay where your facing in the game, but move your mouse/hand back to the middle (or most comfortable position) of the mouse pad.
