Any G9 Mouse owners on here? I have a couple questions: (I had a G9, but returned it, because of a few issues... but now I'm wondering if maybe my mouse was just defective)

1 - Do you have to raise the mouse higher off the desk surface (to re-center it) than other mice? Whenever I lifted my G9 off the pad to re-center, it would keep on mousing, causing the cursor to jump in the opposite direction I was trying to go. Apparently, the laser would keep reading the mousepad from a little higher than any other mice I've used, and so I had to really give it a lift, causing my knuckles to scrape the underside of my desk.

2 - Is the middle-mouse-click pretty difficult? I had to muscle mine down compared to other mice, and I use middle-mouse-click so much (in Firefox and games) that it was a nightmare. (I close tabs and open links with it in Firefox, and reload weapons in games... and it was causing a slight delay)

I'm currently looking into this mouse (the Razer Mamba)... and uhh... well, okay, I WAS looking into it, until I looked it up on Newegg, and saw the price. The G9 was already about 7x more than I would ever want to spend on a mouse, but my work is so demanding (here's my rig), I simply have to buy what works best for me. Hopefully the price will drop back down to humane levels (like $30), because this is just evil. Then, of course, I would buy it. And my brothers would. And everybody on earth would.

1. Just tested it side by side with my Ikari laser, and its true. I never noticed it before since I keep it on high sensitivity so I never have to lift it, but it does indeed need to be lifted higher.

2. I never really use the middle click either so didn't notice this as well, but it is much more difficult to press than the Ikari.


I do prefer the G9 over the Ikari though
