This has somehow managed to turn into a "Mouse recommendation thread", so I figured I might ask a mouse-related question here. Over the last 10 years I've had 3 different mice; Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer 3.0 - It was a great mouse, but felt a bit too plastic-y. When it one day stopped responding to any rightclicks, I went and got a Logitech MX518 and it was great. I did get a bit annoyed with the high pitched sound I could hear if I listened for it, but it was nothing major. Then for no reason it began glitching out, randomly disconnected from the PC and Logitech wanted nothing to do with it since it was outside warranty. Microsoft Habu was the next one up. I've been happy with it, it felt like a updated Intellimouse 3.0. Then my dog takes a bite at the thin wire and look at that, no more Habu. The wires are so thin I don't think soldering will work. All the mice above have been great to me. I've been thinking about getting a Logitech G500 as a replacement, and the only thing that worries me are the side-buttons that look prone to miss-clicking. I could get another MX518, but the G500 is only ~10$ more here (Sweden). Can someone with a G500 tell me how the side-button feel after having the mouse for some time?

Lemons posted:I have 2 G500s that I've been using for a while now, and have had no problems with either of them. Short question then if you don't mind: One of the features of the mouse is that you can "unhook" the scroll-wheel and let it spin freely. This is done, if I understand it, by pressing the middle mouse button. I have never used a MX Revolution nor G500 with this feature, so this presents to me a bit of a problem. Lets say I want to open a new tab in firefox by pressing the middle mouse button. Will it then automatically go into free-spin? Or is there no middle-mouse "button" to click at all and it's only a scroll wheel?
