MX518 or G5?

I'm leaning heavily towards the MX518 for price, colour, and 2 buttons instead of one. And because I can live with "only" 1600DPI.

Question. Does the MX518 have tilt wheel?

Any other arguments for G5?
 
g5 all the way! i can only think of 2 reasons to go for the mx518 instead
- cost (but the g5 has been under 55 shipped at many online locations)
- loss of the "forward" button on the side of the mouse

Other than that, I would say it is better in every way than the mx518...
 
MX518 it is. For $30CDN less, it's an easy choice I guess.

Maybe $55USD shipped, try finding a Canadian one.

Though it still leaves the question, is there a tilt wheel?
 
I have a G5, a G7 and a MX510.
The MX510 was good, but after I got used to the G5, there is no going back.
I don't like the G7 for some reason though.

Edit: I still don't know what the tilt wheel is for, I never install the mouse software though.
