Ive never had a really good an consistent experience with wireless mice. I was using a G500 mouse, but it fell on the floor and broke, so I had to go back to my mx518. the 500 is MUCH better IMO, so I need to get a new mouse.

I mostly just play DOTA at the moment, but I play other shit too.

The 700s looks kinda cool because you can use it both wired and wirelessly it looks like. Not sure if this works as good as a wired mouse, but if it is as good as my G500 I'm in for that: http://gaming.logitech.com/en-us/product/g700s-rechargable-wireless-gaming-mouse

The G502 proteus has great reviews, but is very crazy looking. I loved the weight of my G500, and the design, and I think the G700s is closest to it, but maybe a crazy mouse like this would be better? Ive never used one shaped like that.

what do you think I should go with? Wanna make the order soon!

I love my g700s, but admittedly I primarily only use it as a wired mouse. Only complaint when using wireless is battery life isn't great. I'd far rather it have an internal rechargable LiIon or LiPo pack than the AA NiMh it has.

Only other item of note is you have to use their "Unifying" receiver when running wireless.

I have the G700s, it gets a full day of FPS gaming with some web browsing on Max Gaming mode for the wireless transmit rate. The G700 and the G700s unfortunately doesn't use the unifying receiver, it looks like it but it can't pair other devices.

However, I would recommend seeing if the G502 feels good in your hand. It is weight adjustable and has a perfect sensor (no acceleration). The G700/G700s has a slight acceleration when moving the mouse. Good for desktop use but not good for FPS.
