Good review. But I'm going to give it a huge no-no for the fingerprint plastic rear end. To me it always looks tacky, feels slippery and after use also looks disgusting.
Sounds like a nice alternative to some of the macro-heavy gaming mice that have come out over the last couple of years, especially considering its price. Not sure if I'm in the market for a new mouse yet (my G5 is going strong even after a few years now), but this would definitely go on my "to investigate" list.

Good to see someone else still using a G5, mines getting a little tired now though but I still love it.
I was very interested in the RAT series of mice there are a lot of suspiciously similar reviews (same phrases used and the likes) giving blanket praise of them, but the user comments after the reviews paint a different picture of tracking issues when you pick up the mouse to move it on the mouse matt you get fraction of seconds delay. Ars gave it a good review but I ended up playing safe and getting the X8 sidewinder for £40 from Amazon
Both of the below sites I dont normally visit so cant vouch for their integrity when reviewing unlike Bit-tech and Ars Maximumpc review Benchmarkreviews
I bought the RAT and have to say that I am very disappointed. I play FPS games and lift and drop quite alot. Everytime I put the mouse back down it right clicks... without me touching any keys Major bummer :( and design flaw. I might give this mouse a try and see if it lives up to the reviews.

For 45 bucks, I think you can't go wrong. I bought one of them this morning, and I'm not desapointed at all.....In fact I'm suprised. You can disable the fingerprint and the front LED (Hopefully). Its not slippery, itsnt feel sheap, and the more important for me It HUNT the frag like a Jag

ReplyNo need for fancy 11-button mice.

Want! the rat7 is now on my to buy list (would get the 9 but don't like wireless mice)
The G5 isn't a wireless mouse. The G7 is the wireless version of the G5
I saw one in the flesh for the first time at i40 on Friday and spoke to the chap using it about what he thought of it.
I've got it admit its piqued my interest, I'll give Clive a poke on Tuesday and see if we can bag a review sample.
Clive loves it

Not as pointless as the Razer Naga though:
