| 1196482 | 2011-04-22 10:55:00 | Hi all . Getting a new mouse . I enjoy gaming but I can't be considered hardcore (or even medium-hardcore:D) . Having said this I'd like a reasonable "gaming" mouse . I've narrowed it down to the above options with reviews and discussion I've read saying good things about them both with the main point of contention appearing to be personal preference (eg mouse size vs hand size, and preferred weight) . Of interest is the g500 is around $90 . 00 at several places but I can get the MX518 for $35 on special (I will be trying them out in person before buying) . I'd appreciate your opinions as to whether the extra $55 I'd spend on the G500 would be worth it . Thanks! |

The G500 also has memory meaning you can store your profiles on the mouse. Great if you LAN or take your mouse elsewhere, pointless if you don't. www.logitech.com |

| 1196485 | 2011-04-22 23:14:00 | I asked for a budget gaming mouse from Computer Lounge and they gave me the G500.It was almost $100 but it's worth every penny.Great for Black Ops. | sk69ersnz (13476) | ||
| 1196486 | 2011-04-23 01:02:00 | G500 is very nice, I have the G15 but would upgrade to the G500 if mine died. | wratterus (105) | ||
| 1196487 | 2011-04-23 01:33:00 | G500 is very nice, I have the G15 but would upgrade to the G500 if mine died. G15 is a Keyboard. |

| 1196489 | 2011-04-23 20:33:00 | G15 is a Keyboard. Heh, I mean the G5, got both the G5 and the G11, not the G15 :blush: |
