    The G9 comes with two grips.

    I actually prefer the shape of my old MX518, but I'm defo more accurate with my G9.

    My god it looks really uncomfortable shape? How is it in the hands?

    Does your left finger not mark the led? which I presume is battery level?

    If you can get the G5 (because it's on its way out), it's a brilliant mouse at a brilliant price.

    Because they look good, feel good & work well. I have an old Saitek Gamer kb i've used for a few years & the action on the keys is as good now as it ever was. I also have an Eclipse II. Use them for both home & work.

    Just solid kit.

    Yea there is nothing like a keyboard that has a soft click when you press the buttons. Unfortunately the place where I normally get my hardware doesn't supply those keyboards.

    Alot of people seem to recommend the Razer mice! The deathadder is out of stock were I get my stuff. So I could get the copperhead or Lachesis.

    Do you recommend any other keyboard?

    Re: Need your recommendations for new keyboard and mouse!

    I played with a Razer DeathAdder recently, I'll probably end up with it. As a work-a-day keyboard the Logitech Ultra Flat wired for 10 quid are great. Saitek Eclipse II for best.

    Hmm, alot of positive views on the Saitek Eclipse II. I have to say on the little pics I see of it, it looks quite odd!

    I guess it has to be seen in the flesh. How about the Enermax Aurora ?

    Mine is the Eclipse first version,as for the Eclipse II i`ve heard of sticking and none working buttons
    which is why i avoided it.

    As for the Enermax i`m sure its very nice but hard to clean being brushed metal,and a little expensive.

    Cool, I am reading this one at the moment:

    I am not mad on its appearance, but I do like the idea of soft keys!
