I've got the G5, and I absolutely love it, but I've been thinking about the G9. I've heard nothing but good news about it.

As for the G15, I personally think the older one is better. It's got 18 macro keys, rather than six. Oh, and its lights are blue, so it matches my setup. :D

It idles at 32-33 degrees C, even with that overclock, stable and all. I ran Orthos on all 4 cores overnight, about 8 hours, and it was fine, never went past 55C. :)

I'm actually about to run 3DMark 06, so I'll post back and let you know what I get. :D

The G9 is, of course, ugly as sin - but it's easily the best mouse I've ever used. Just love it. And my hand is big enough to cover the mouse while I'm using it, so ugly isn't such a big deal either :P

If you got the desk space, then the old G15 is better since it has a bigger screen that is movable and it also has more programmable "G" keys. I put a wooden board on top of my keyboard draw so I can fit both a mouse and a keyboard on it fairly nicely. I am getting the old G15 soon and a G5 mouse too. I can't wait to get them.

After owning my Logitech MX1000 for 3 years I will never buy a wireless mouse ever again. The battery always seems to die in the middle of one online shooter game or another. And it will randomly skip two hundred pixels down the screen about four times a day. My bro has a MX1000 and his does the same thing but not as often as mine. That's why I'm getting a G5. No recharging and no wireless interference worries.

I was originally gonna get an MX518 but I decided to get the G5 (which I should be getting on the 10th), only because I wasn't sure about going from a laser mouse to an optical mouse. As I said before I currently have a MX1000 which was the world's first laser mouse back in 2004.

I doubt there is much of a difference between a G5 and a MX518 in terms of performance.
