Logitech G500s: Avoid like the plague

[Pyromanik]

I got a G500s recently to replace my broken down G9. Apart from the difference in shape, which I got used to fairly quickly, I haven't had any problems with it. Good mouse for me.

Apparently you should get your ears checked old man xD

What's that, sonny? Speak up.

Achievement unlocked: Pro mode dad joke.

I'm odd with mice

Gimme a generic 3 button and I'm sweet.

I've tried 5 button, I even had an mx518, which I ended up disabling all the extra buttons cause I kept bumping them.

Am I broken?

Nah I have little hands, and I'm pretty dextrous.

I'd always (still do) forget to use extra buttons when gaming, but I'd bump them out of game and end up tabbing to a different chat window on facebook and typing something to my mates, meant for my girlfriend.

hahaha brilliant.
If they're oddly placed it can take some getting used to. When I switched up from g7 to g500 the side buttons were located a little different and I too found that very frustrating for a wee while.

It's all hand size & comfort really. Even now I barely use the forward button (although I hated not having it on the g7), mostly because it's too far forward for my thumb to get at comfortably.

And then the middle button does nothing anyway becasue windows and/or games are too derp to pick it up as an input (DirectInput at issue I imagine).

But I hear what you're saying Bounty. I never quite managed messages to the wrong people, but for example when you're playing something like BF or COD and the default bind for M3 is grenade... get carelessly carried away and suddenly there's a grenade at your feet ('coz hold for distance, etc) :<
