The G7 looks good in this respect as well, it comes with two battery packs to allow for constant usage.

I recently got a G7 and I love it. Being able to charge the spare battery whilst using the other one is a great idea, and it only takes a couple of seconds to change the battery when it runs out. You can even make it give you an early warning when the battery is down to a set percentage (which is also customisable) so you can change the battery after pausing the game or taking cover, rather than it coming as a complete surprise.
It's silky smooth across the desk too, due to the teflon coated pads.

For me the maximum 2000 dpi is way too sensitive, having upgraded from a 400dpi mouse, but I can set 5 sensitivity levels of my choice and change them on the fly. I use 1200dpi as that feels right for me, but you can have what ever you want.

The only minor gripe I have is that the middle mouse click feels a little lack lustre. It's only a small issue, and probably just something I need to get used to, but it doesn't feel as positive as my old microsoft mouse.

Anyway, I recommend the G7, well worth it

Do the MX1000/G5/G7 have smooth scrolling? I have a Microsoft Mxplorer mouse at the moment that has it, and I love it for scrolling webpages - it takes a while to get used to in games, but it's okay.

If I do opt for a G5 or MX1000 I can just leave this mouse plugged in.
