Ok so i've been using the g5 for a few months and Im starting to have some hand pains, around the thumb and wrist, (its not carpal I did the research and I dont have those symptoms). It feels like a muscle strain or something, a burning sensation right at the outer side of my thumb where it meets the wrist.

Anyhow, I ordered a Intellimouse explorer 4.0 becuase its what I had before the pains for years with no problems... but upon installing it and using it, It just plain sucks vs the G5...

Is there any mouse out there that performs as well as the G5 but has Forward/Back buttons and might be more comfortable?

Im not really a fan of Wireless, but im open to all suggestions.

Mice Ive used
Microsoft Optical (white and silver 5 button one) - Great, loved it but its real dated.
Intellimouse Explorer 3 & 4 - loved both of em but the dpi is horrible.
Razer Diamondback - loved the smooth motion of the cursor, but its just too small/flat.
Logitech G5 - Movement is top notch, sucks no back button, weird thumb position.
 
What about an MX518? It's optical, not laser, but should be plenty fast and still many many times better than the MS mice. Same shape as the G5 but has two buttons instead of 1.

I personally use an MX310, that has a totally different shape. It is smaller but it seems very capable and has a good sensor. It has 2 side buttons, one on each side.
 
I also vote for the MX518. Odd shape, but you get used to it. Only for right-handers, though. Real nice quality mouse.
 
you should take a look at that saitek 1200dpi mouse. It has a very interesting and comfortable shape

this one ?

looks neat... and its real cheap too boot. Might work real well considering it looks almost identical in shape to the microsoft optical that that was one of my favorite mice.

Thanks for this tip brotha.

I dig the mx518s but Im afraid of it being the same proportions as the G5.
