I use the MX518 myself. Great mouse. If you can afford it though, go with a G5. If you want the wireless equivalent, get the G7. Do not, repeat, do not get the MX700. In fact, I believe a lot of them were recalled due to the recharging contacts prone to corrosion.

The G5 can be purchased online anywhere between $65 to $80, and the G7 from $70 to $90. G5 comes with customizable weights, whereas the G7 comes with two Lithium Ion battery packs you recharge on a station, so no having to put the whole mouse on the station to recharge like the MX700. MX518 is a cheaper solution at $50 or under. The G5 and G7 come with 7 buttons you can preprogram, while the MX518 has eight (Logitech realized that people like a back and forward button so future versions will have 8 buttons). The G-series has drivers and programs that allow you to customize your sensitivity profiles, even for both axes, while the MX518 has the same but only for both X and Y. Hope this helps.

I have a G5, and it is by far the best mouse ever. I had a Razer Copperhead , which absolutly sucked. I returned it and got the G5 and am completely satisfied.

I currently got a wireless MX700, but not for long anymore. Although the responsetimes of today's wireless mouses are alright for gaming, I really hate recharging it all the time.

Therefore a Logitech G5 will replace this one around X-Mas.

Ofcouse that's multi-button and ofcourse I use a joystick for flying.

try the G5 - it has a really nice cord that doesn't get stuck on stuff etc... it doesnt make its presence known at all

10 button wireless for me.

I agree that CERTAIN wireless mice are crap for games though.

I have a Razer DiamondBack Magma 1600dpi mouse and I love it, it's one of the few mice I could find with extra buttons I could use being a lefty. I'd be willing to pay good money for a mouse specific for a lefty but never been able to find one I also use the fUnc 1030 mouse mat which helps alot.

I did have previously an old M$ optical with random magzines for a pad so anything would have probably improved things!

I gave wireless a try, but to be honest, if you're playing competitively you need to forget all about wireless mice. I'll stick with my wired mouse, which I also use for helo flying.

I was in the middle of a match on another FPS game when my wireless mouse died - batteries were drained. I was killed sitting in our spawn while franticly trying to get 2 more AA's into the thing. Never again, lol :) Also, I found it too heavey after a while as well...

They are fine, if you get the right one.

I have an mx1000, lithum battery lasts for a week, to charge i just stick it on the docking station, 10 buttons and it fits the hand nicely. I have no issues of lag or skips with it.

I know of four other people with it in my clan, all wouldn't go back to a normal mouse. They are just so much better.

Note never ever get a bluetooth wireless mouse, not if your wanting to game, they are slower.
