    Is this the mouse that is shipped with the G73 package deal?

    Is it worth getting or would another gaming mouse be recommended? What are you guys using?

    GX800

    I'm using a Logitech G7, and love it. But it is dying, so for Xmas I have a G700 wrapped up. Looking forward to that one.

    It's an awesome entry level mouse. It's no sidewinder, but it does the job quite well - it'll be WAY better than a non-gaming mouse.

    I've got a habu and a deathadder. I have to say, the habu is SO nice, after working all day with an intellimouse (at work), coming home to a habu is GREAT!!! Even though the deathadder is ALMOST the same, it's just not ... well. The only real difference is the sensor and the non-configurable buttons (the habu has 2 options, the deathadder has no options). Still.

    I got Asus' mouse with the package but I got a defective mouse. I can't rest my middle finger on the right click because it clicks automatically without clickling. Bought Mamba and it's quite good.

    I prefer the G9X from Logitech over any of the Asus mouses, personally. Asus mouse is a back up incase my logitech breaks.

    I like the mouse that come with this laptop (GX800) but its a bit heavy. I might get the Razer Deathadder, look great.

    I was thinking about buying this mouse, but this settled it...

    Since back in the day, when I had some craptastic microsoft wireless mouse that ate batteries, and weighed a ton, I love a heavy mouse. My G5 (which is starting to fail, stupid scroll wheel) is loaded with all the heavy weights...

    I'll be picking one of these up after xmas for sure :)

    Out of curiosity, does anyone know who asus sub-contracted to make this mouse? Something tells me asus used another manufacturer to make the mouse for them...

    I had the Habu but ditched it for the MX518. I think it may be because my hands are small, Habi needs fairly large hands IMO.

    My G51 came with a Copperhead. I use it at home and a Krait for travel. I really appreciate Razer now. Both are nice.
