I'd get an Icemat V1 or 2 and a Logi G5

read a rather extensive review of every mouse worth looking at yesterday but i cant remember where it was, the MX500 came out top by a fair way, followed by the MX518

Mice are quite personal things imo...so if you can go somewhere and try them out I'd advise doing that.

I much prefer the G5 to the MX500/510

where would the best places/sorts of places be for trying mouses? can you do so in pc world etc?

I have a diamondback and a QPad XXXL

I have had quite a few mice and mats tho.

I had a Steelpad 4S which went shiney after using it for 6months with a MX-500, also the hardness wasn't very comfortable.

I wouldn't really recommend a hard mousemat since having problems with the steelpad and getting the QPad.

I also really like the diamondback in comparison to my previous MX-500 and Intellimouse Explorer v2/v3.

I'm using a mx518 and it's a fantastic mouse, I'd imagine anything above it (G5, G7) would be as good, if not better. Logitech ftw!

hmm may start looking at the logi's then, keep 'em coming

Loving my logitech G5 (specialtech ftw) and my Qck Heavy Steel series mat (Kempez ftw, check the reviews section for helpful info on it)

I bought a Logitech G5 and S&S Steelpad back in the summer, took me a good few months to get used to it and get the weight exactly as I wanted it but now it seems perfect.
