For a look at the Logitech model, http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/pr...ONTENTID=10715
For a look at the Razor Copperhead led and sleek design, http://www.razerzone.com/Products/Ga...erhead/#Frame3

The Logitech model is closer to the "other"(MS Trackball Explorer with 5 programmable buttons and red led lit trackball) I personally favor over the two seen here. I have to vote on the third sorry.

I'm still clicking with my MX518. Perfectly good mouse without a hefty price tag

koOp · 08-13-2006, 12:04 PM

go for the razer ive got one, a diamonback blue

I would actually go with the MX518, but if you want my opinion on those two, I would go with the G5.

diduknowthat · 08-13-2006, 01:35 PM

I really don't like how the razer looks, a little too flashy for a mouse, the G5 on the other hand looks nice and simplistic and comfortable.

The Razor would go well with a show case for the custom look there. I run a case here with four large led lit fans. It kind of looks like the KMart "blue light special" in that sense. But you can add led strips inside a case along with the Razor to give a case the sci-fi look if you want. There are all kinds of modded cases where something like that adds to the "effect" so to speak. For praticality the Logitech model does rival the MS opticals.

yea the logitech has all the same features as the copperhead besides for a forward button i believe. but that woudnt change my decision as the logitech is cheaper and right now u can get it on newegg fro free shipping.

PC eye · 08-14-2006, 01:26 AM

On a programmable mouse you can assign a button for forward, double clicking, scroll, spacebar, alt, cntrl, right and left clicking, etc.. The style as well as ergonaumics is a consideration according to personal preference. For a look at an MS five buttom programmable, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/cus...ndex=0#gallery
