The design of the mouse is perfect for my hand, though a bigger person might take issue with this mouse slight smaller than standard frame. The curves are in the right place so my thumb and pointer fall on the corresponding buttons. The usb cable is high quality and mesh wrapped to prevent getting knotted or tangled, and is long enough to place this mouse anywhere on your desk. The slide surfaces on the bottom keep it moving smooth and are easy to wipe off if any dirt build up. The laser still works like new and I have never had to blow out or clean.
The surface of the mouse is coated with a texture that looks great and provides a good grip. The center scroll wheel is smooth but still easy to scroll and the spring is strong to provide tactile feedback when pressed down. There is only two side buttons on this mouse so if you are looking for a keyboard on your mouse go with a naga. I do feel the button placement is pretty tight so you can at times hit both.
The features of this mouse by todays standards are nothing fancy by todays standards. You can adjust dpi on the fly with the dpi buttons, the highest being the setting I tend to use for most games, sometimes dropping it down to medium for online fps play. The adjustable weight is a good concept, though I cannot say it makes a drastic difference as the mouse slides smooth enough where it dose not feel like much either way.
the option to have it is a nice touch and ads to the quality of this mouse. I think if you can still find it for a good price (hard to do in 2013) it is well worth the investment, even compared to newer models by logitech and razor.
As someone who spends a lot of time on a computer for work and enjoys gaming on a computer as well, I use mice fairly often. While I am no expect in the technologies that go into a mouse, I know what I like and what works. This mouse delivers. In terms of the style, this is a fingertip or claw grip mouse. You certainly could use it for a palm grip, but you'd need to have smaller hands (many men and some women would find it too small for a palm grip style of use). That said, the mouse is extremely comfortable to use. The clicks are incredibly satisfying and clear to hear. The scroll wheel likewise gives a tapping noise each time you rotate. Both let you know you've clicked without being too loud or distracting. The actual main buttons are built seamlessly into the body of the mouse and depress easily but noticeably--you won't have any difficulty learning how much pressure to apply to each click. The on-the-fly DPI buttons (speeding up or slowing down the speed of the cursor) are a nice feature, all the more so because there are only three options. I like options, but too many makes my head spin; three choices is going to be the sweet spot for a lot of people. Finally, the front and back arrow buttons on the side by your thumb are awesome. Even a non-gamer would adore this feature of the mouse; the side buttons make surfing the internet a breeze. This is a wired mouse, and while some may prefer a wireless mouse, I prefer the responsiveness of a wire. And what a wire! The cable is over six feet long, allowing for almost any desk setup you want. The covering on the wire is extremely durable and protective while staying flexible. The final feature I like about this mouse is the adjustable weight cartridge. This is such a ground-breaking feature and one I wish every mouse had. Basically, you play around with different layouts and weights in the cartridge until you find one that you like just right, and then you can forget about it. My mouse is exactly the weight I want it to be, not the weight the manufacturer decided. It is a feature you will quickly forget about but one that impacts you daily.
Sadly, the very strengths of this mouse are probably why it isn't being made anymore; it is just too durable for the company to make money on it. I've had mine for eight years(!) and it is still going strong. It is used virtually every day, some days for hours. I cannot even calculate the sheer number of clicks, scrolls, and taps this mouse has endured. Aside from the occasional cleaning I've done nothing special to maintain it.
Do yourself a favor and try to find this mouse. I can't tell you what price point is too high, but if you can count on reliable and amazing service for 8 years (and counting!) from a device you likely will use on a daily basis, you should probably be willing to pay more than you'd think. This is a phenomenal mouse.

Da ich eine etwas kleinere Hand habe, hatte ich oft Schwierigkeiten eine "bequeme" Maus zu finden, auf der die HAnd auch bei längerem Gebrauch angenehm liegt. Dies erfüllt meine "G5"! Ich hoffe sie hält noch lange durch, denn die Nachfolge-Modelle sind für mich weniger empfehlenswert!
Style: perfekt
Funktionalität: Hammermäßig
Handling: Top
Keine Frage, 5 Sterne! Hab die Maus seit nem knappen Jahr und bin vollstens zufrieden mit dem Gerät. Durch die Gewichte, kann man die Maus auch individuellen wünschen anpassen. Ich sage nur: Finger weg von allem anderen! Kauft die Maus solange es sie noch gibt! Ich würde es auch wieder tun!
