Lol does it come in another color?

I know what you mean but TBH i've got used to it now. Would be awesome if they'd made one in blue.

Vote for the G9 here - not a problem with big hands. With the wide grip on, it feels perfect, and it's a much better shape in the hand than the G7 I replaced.

Deathadder has great tracking, it's about the same shape as a Microsoft 3.0. So if that was your old mouse also a + bonus

Got my first "proper mouse", a G5. I love it, much nicer than my brother's copperhead.

I'm using a five button Intellimouse atm - is there any point in getting the Deathadder or are they too similar (I realise the Intelli is not a true gaming mouse)

Having used various Intellimice (Optical, Explorer 3, 4 and another couple i can't name) i'd say it's still a yes.

The one thing that the Deathadder seems to do is place the cursor exactly where you put it. It's the accuracy and reliability of it doing this that sets it apart from any other mouse i've ever used.

Ergonomically it's quite similar to the Explorer 3.

yeah, these are what i've been using for years, and the shape of the deathadder is almost identical. Only real difference is the buttons, have 2 on the left on the deathadder, and 1 on each side of the ms (oh yeah, and the slight difference in sensitivity

)

I find the curved back of the Intelli quite bulky and using my Nova Killer mouse mat, quite sluggish too. I am just using the xp driver, not the one fromt he disc. Don't even remember if you can configure it!
