    If you liked the G5, and didn't notice any negative acceleration, then you can't really go past the G500.

    My advice would be to steer clear of Razer range entirely. I've used and reviewed half a dozen of their mice, and not once have I been impressed. If you want something more low-profile than the G5, go the Logitech G9X.

    However, for utmost precision, I'd recommend you pick yourself up an MX518. Dirt cheap, no acceleration quirks, same great shape. As far as tracking engine is concerned, it's still better than anything that has been released to date (technically just behind the MX500/510 engine which had a fixed 400dpi, but can't be bought anymore).

    You can buy new skates from dealextreme.com.
    They say if you play a Microsoft CD backwards, you hear satanic messages. Thats nothing, cause if you play it forwards, it installs Windows

    Totally, insid. Although the legit Logitech skates are some of the best you can find. I've used some good replacements, but they're never quite the same.

    Personally I like the MS sidewinder. They have a nice chunky mouse wheel, but they are on the large side and not for everyone.
    Don't play heavy FPS anymore so can't comment on responsiveness.
