    i've got a g9x, g500, and a mx518.
    i like the g500 due to the texture
    the mx518 is good and cheap to buy but slippery plastic

    I find that the G500 texture is more slippery, as is that second attachable grip for the G9; a smaller surface contact area means less grip.

    The only time I find the 518's surface slippery is if you're sweating (eg. Darwin).

    I've really enjoyed the mx518 but I think I'm going back to the deathadder, I ran from razer cause of their early deaths but their feel is so nice

    Just got my MSIE3.0 for work and it's still awesome as it was years ago when rec had 'that' haircut.

    The buttons have just enough give and resistance, and most importantly the mouse is the right size and shape. At home I still can't go past the mx518. In optical mice I've previously owned a g5 (which is now dead), g500, a few MSIE1.1's, Logitech iFeel Mouseman, more mx500s, an mx revolution and that really really massive original corded MSIE mouse.

    With the wonders of a large city, you're able to check out a lot of mice on display in person. I've checked out all the current Razer mice and their build/quality just seems quite poor and shape just all wrong for me. Even the texturing on them you can scrape off with fingernail 'accidentally'.

    Manufacturers also seem to be making mice smaller and smaller these days too, which is quite annoying.

    And I just noticed that there's a slight curve in the two top main buttons, was that always there? Because that's awesome.
