new mouse - advice was created by NL
Hi guys,
I have a Logitech G500 and it needs replacing after about 2 years because buttons 1 and 2 are wearing out. I am disappointed about that, the plastic logitech uses on the 'pillars' that press the microswitches just seems to soft and wears out. I never understand why they don't use metal reinforcement on those pressure spots. To be fair, I did use it a lot but I think 2 years is too short for a 60€ mouse...
But, I really like the form factor of the G500 and think about buying the G500s. Does anyone here use it? Did they improve the quality of the buttons? Any other tips on gaming mice are welcome too!

I have this mouse for 7-8 years. Works like a charm. It doesn't look very nice,
but that's the only thing wrong with it

This is my little mouse. Snowman said he has his mouse for 6-7 years, and you know why? because Genius is the best

Finally a topic without cats 
Can't say anything about the Logitech G500. But i never liked such big ones.
Since half a year i got the Sharkoon Fireglider and as its a bit bigger then my old one it took a while to become used to it. But so far everything works fine.

Yeah - this why I posted here, because it's my favorite. If most people call me "Cat" then this is my topic

Hmmm I don't know Genius brand but what I like about 'more expensive" mice are extra buttons, smooth scrollwheel amd so on. The logitech g500 is big but very nice in the hand, but that is personal I guess.
