I have the mouse, and it is a great gaming mouse, with one exception: the location of the sensitivity increase/decrease buttons. The buttons to increase and decrease sensitivity are right above and below the mousewheel and I sometimes click them accidentally. It's not a huge issue, as I can just click the opposite button, but it is annoying when I'm in the middle of a round of CS:S and all of a sudden a full mousepad's worth of moving changes my aim by about 2 degrees.

I just got this on the last deal ($25 from dell.com) and have been playing with it for a few days. In general I really like it, though it took some tweaking of the software before it worked best for me (I had issues with the dpi changing). I am still deciding between it and my old MS intellimouse optical. I like the feel of the optical better but the G5 does have one more button. Well, it actually has one less button but the tilt wheel can be used as two buttons so it works better for me.

The weight system seems more like a gimmek to me. I just removed the whole tray and like the feeling of a lighter mouse better but I'm sure there are those who prefer it way heavy.

My only wish was that it was the new two button G5, then I would have had two more buttons over my old mouse which would have been awesome.

I love the weight system. I generally like a lighter mouse, its just easier for me to control. I have a 4.5g, and 2 1.7 g weights in there right now
