    Re: help. Which Mouse?

    The Dark Knight one, as much as I despise marketing like that, its got more features and isn't a ridiculous premium for it. 8 buttons and DPi switching, nice

    Out of interest, is it narrowly those two or are you open for further suggestion?

    funny thing is that they are logitech

    back on topic, for me the 518 would be the way to go, mine's still going strong and will be replaced with another when it dies.

    The 518 would be my choice. It's a solid performer and nice sized mouse.

    Question Re: help. Which Mouse?

    How can you get so "bored" with a (still working perfectly) mouse as good as the MX518, that buying a new one... even a G5... can do anything to rectify?
