Dont go near a G5. Its laser is horrid, it cant handle even medium sensitivity, as the tracking is incredibly bad. If you swipe/flick, half the time, your cursor will only go about halfway, and maybe up in the sky, or down at the ground.
Although, some people manage to use G5 with low sensitivity, but only in cod really, where you dont have to 180 really fast from flashes etc.
If you like the G5/G7 Shape, get an MX 518, one of the best mice of all time, Optical, no skipping even at quite low sensitivity.
The G9x has the best laster engine of all time, can do up to 6.5m/s with no skipping @ 1000hz.
SteelSeries is bringing out the Xai soon (kenji should have a review fairly soon). That uses the same engine, but with a shape that is closer to MS WMO.
I still beleive that the MS IME 3.0, IMO 1.1a, MX 300 and MX 500 are the best mice ever, but they arent for everyone.
