Im looking for a new mouse. I game a lot so it would have to be good for that. At first i was looking at a microsoft intellimouse 3.0a but they were discontinued and i cant find them anywhere :( . So ive turned to logitech. I stopped by circuit city to see which one had the best feel, and i really liked the way the G5 felt. But the only thing that concerns me is the tilt wheel. I push the middle mouse button in to jump in all of my games (i know im weird) and i was wondering if I tilted it while doing this in gameplay if it would mess it up or not jump. Can tilt wheel be disabled? also with the DPI on the fly. Can those buttons be programed to do something else in game? Im thinking of substituting that top button for my jump. thanks in advance
 
yeah, the tiltwheel is annoying, but it shouldn't affect your in game play unless you have something bound to the "keys." All the buttons can be configured with the drivers logitech provides. overall very nice mouse. (note: I disabled the tiltwheel from doing anything to avoid nongaming annoyances)
 
It's really a great mouse, I love it. One thing is I wish it had a forward button so one could be my ingame voice and the other in Ventrillo. Oh well, shift will do for now.
 
Why disable the tilt wheel? Learn to use it, especially since you only get one thumb button. I use mine for minor crap, like tilt left for opening the map in BF2, tilt right for squad/commander crap.

well i may not need to disable it, but i use the middle mouse for jumping in my games. so if im trying to jump and accidently tilt the wheel i just want to make sure i still jump.
