    HMMM... Logitec G5, MX1000 or Raptor M2???

    Hey guys,
    I am in between the G5 laser mouse, the MX1000 laser wireless mouse or the Raptor M2! The G5 is the most expensnive, but is 2000dpi and looks very nice and is laser, the MX1000 is laser aswell and is wireleess or the Raptor M2, which is 2400dpi, but I have heard problems about it lagging and all that. I am going to be using it mainly for gaming, so please help me choose which one would be the best!!!!!

    I'd got with the G5, response rate is cracking and the looks are quality! I'll be buying one V soon!

    ive got the MX518, superb mouse i cant think why you would want more resolution than it offers.

    For me it was either this or the diamondback but logitech's bombproof build quality swung it for me.

    I got a raptor m1 and i must say its a great lil mouse! , i would say the raptor m2 looks pretty good, but then again the g5!! :O

    The new raptor and the g5 have weights in them right? Do the diamondbacks have that?

    The diamondbacks don't have weights in them, but I think I will go with the G5 due to its response time! Is the MX1000 similar to the G5, the quality of the laser?

    I think the MX100 has a rsolution much lower than the G5.

    The freedom of the mx1000 is great and is prolly the only wireless mouse that doesnt act wireless, not problems at all and is fantastic in games! If your wanting pure gaming movement then go for the G5, if your wanting a desktop/gaming mouse that is robust yet comfortable get an mx1000

    The MX1000 is looking the one for me, since its much cheaper than the G5 ! But I had a A4 tech standard wireless mouse before, and it sucked bigtime, so if I move this mouse aorund alot, does it still work fine?
    thanks!

    Ill be honest mate i had a crappy wireless mouse which i through out the window as it was that bad and went back to an optical after 3 days, now after using my mx1000 for a fortnight I wouldnt swap it for anything. Top quality and move it around as much as you like itll still be as solid as a rock...
