for the past few weeks my wireless Logitech LX-7 started to die. at first I thought it was the because the batteries were dying, so I replaced them and nothing improved and today it became unbearable. so I have decided it's time for a new mouse! I only want to spend around $40 and i dont care if wired or wireless.
so i boosted my mouse budget to $60 and I founfd this G5 for $57

5,700 dpi, compared to the G5's 2,000 dpi
If you factor in shipping it's like 52$ish anyway, and he probably wants it right away since his current mouse is fucked.

Print that out and take it with you. When I got my G5 at Best Buy, they had it priced at the normal price, not the discount on the site. Just show them the discount at the store and they'll give it to you for the online price.

no, it's more like $5
ok then 50$
Logitec MX 512.
the new G500 looks fugly =/
I'm willing to pay the higher price for the convenience of having the mouse right away, so i'll go with the G5
[QUOTE=Yumyumbublegum;16533198]ok then 50$[/QUOTE]
ACTUALLY, it has free shipping available.
so, saving $12, and that's before tax at BestBuy, Amazon has no tax

I just bookmarked the page in my iPhone to show them to match the price. hopefully that works since i have no printer atm, its being shipped to where i just moved to
edit:
the printer thats in the pic of my desk in the post your desk thread died, its old, so my dad is shipping his spare
G5 is the best thing

what happens if you show them a price on newegg or something, my dad was looking at hardware in there and they had a 9500 GT for $180.

yea their price are stupidly high
The sidewinder is nice too.
I don't get why everyone loves the g5 so much. I have a Logitech VX revolution, the second I touched my friends g5 I hated it, not to mention it's ugly.
But I guess everyone has there own tastes.
People love the G5 for alot of reasons. The kidney bean shape is ergonomical, its wired, the texture doesn't wear off like razers, and it has a good warranty.
I am a fan of the G5, been serving me well for a year and a half, never skips, and has a nice high dpi sensor.
Wireless is a minus for alot of people, I like it not needing a battery and the polling rate tends to be better.
The shape of it and feel are what kills it for me, it feels so awkward shaped compared to my VX.

FUCK YOU FACEPUNCH, I may go cry now.
Razer Mamba Hybrid looks pretty cool. i kind of want one now.

Is it a good idea to get a G5 now with its successor coming out next month? I need a new mouse as well (not because my old one's broken, just because it's shit) and I'm not sure whether to wait for the G500, get a G5 or get something else entirely.
best buy lied, theyre out of stock. so I'm going to order it from Amazon or Newegg, depends on who is cheaper
dick heads god
huzzah! Frys has them in stock and theyre $5 cheaper :) gonna go pick it up since its on hold
