I recently got a G5 too, it works well for me. Sounds like my setup is similar to Pinge’s, with the buttons bound to tool or weapon selections.
It’s interesting that the weakness he mentions with the Razor Diamondback, i’d actually consider a strength. I used to have a mouse that had forward and back buttons on opposite sides of the mouse, until it broke… but it meant i had a button resting neatly under my pinky finger.
Maybe some gamers dont like to use their pinky finger, but if the button was in the right place on the mouse i’d find it fantastic! The way i see it, most mice out there waste the use of a finger or two (depending on how you hold it). I use all five fingers on my keyboard, why cant i use all five on my mouse too?
