Loving my MX518

Logitech G7 here for everyday use and it is great, you don't get a USB-PS2 adapter though so while it should work I have no idea if it does. It is a good weight in the hand and the adjustable sensitivity is a nice touch as are the swappable battery packs.

However the Intellimouse Explorer v3.0 has just been re-released and if I was going to get another wired mouse I think it would be one of them, I'm still using one of my two original editions occasionally though so I doubt I'll be changing for a while.

Oops, just got home and it's the G7 I've got, not the G5

I've got an MX900 (wireless) and an MX510 (corded.)

Apart from the fact that the MX900 is bloody useless since it won't charge on the base unit, it's a great mouse - but the 510 is also lighter and more responsive - I love it

Aye, I also have an MX700 and an MX900. The 700 is great, it can run for days on a single charge but the 900 needs charging daily. Plus, as you say it's an absolute pain to get it sitting on that cradle in the right position to charge.

I now have my 700 on a KVM between two PCs I don't use much and took the 900 to work where it only needs to last 8 hours or so a day and can get a good overnight charge.

Comes with a PS2 adaptor.

Turn the MX900 over and take something metal to the 2 metal connectors on the bottom and just scratch all the crap off. Should go shiny when there's a good clean surface.

Have to do that occasionally to my MX1000. I use a small flat head screwdriver.

Try with a rubber (eraser) first. That'll remove a surprising amount of crap from electrical contacts.

After that, it's fine sandpaper in my case.
