I've been wanting to make the move to a wireless laser mouse for some time now. I bought the mx1000 a few months back and returned it for two reasons:

My wrist was bent completely back when using it because it is huge / bricklike. The pain was agony after only 5 or 6 hours hours of CSS. I sometimes play for 12hours at a stretch at the weekend.

I never realised that I lift my mouse frequently to recentre it under the centre of my hand. Otherwise if I'd have to have a mouse area the size of a desk and have my arm stretched all over the place. My beloved 5 year old logitech MX300 cuts out at about 2mm off the desk meaning my wrist doesn't have to bend much to lift and recentre. The mx1000 had to be lifted a crazy amount as I recall causing more wrist pain.

My question is this: Has the G7 resolved these issues? Has it got a lovely tiny profile? Does its tracking cut out once lifted about 2mm off the surface?
 
Its not the weight that gave me the problems with lifting the mx1000 it was the height I had to lift it so that it would stop tracking the surface.

I constantly recentre my mouse during play by lifting it and setting it back down so that the mouse is in the centre point of my wrist movement. So to continue looking right to do a 360 degree spin I would rotate right, lift mouse back to centre, drop, rotate right some more.

The mx1000 was forcing me to lift it a lot higher than my mx300 optical to stop it tracking the surface causing me wrist pain after many hours. Weight isn't so much the issue, its tracking height.

If the mouse is tracking the surface when I lift it then when i recentre it in the air i'd rotate back left again in the above example.

Am I the only person who lifts to recentre a mouse??? I like to have my wrist fixed and never move during play. I only move my hand by rotating it from side to side with my wrist acting as pivot point resting on the desk.

No one else does this?

My question to the G7 owners is how far above the surface does the mouse stop tracking. My mx300 cuts out at about 3mm which means I only have to barely lift my hand. I'd love for the G7 to be the same.

VaderDSL has roughly measured his G7 tracking cut off and estimates it to be 2mm. Can anyone else verify?
