The g9 even with wide hand grip is too small? Mind you the G9 isnt necessarily a full hand, more of a fingertip/part of your hand mouse for most people which is much more accurate in a FPS setting.

The G5 mouse retains a full hand posture that is suitable for most for everyday tasks, I personally love my G9 even tho its small, it has a very tactile feel to it.

As for that Saitek, I have never heard of it.

I use a few Saitek devices(R440 Wheel,P880 gamepad) and have enjoyed both of them, but when Madcatz bought them out, I changed my opinion of them. Basically because I owned a Madcatz product and it sucked and had heard the same thing from others with Madcatz peripheral as well.

I got one and hated it...Not because it wasn't built well, but I just couldn't see the letters on the keyboard at an angle(unless I was looking straight down on it). My GF got one and loved it...but she types and doesn't look at the keyboard at all. When I got it, I was thinking about gaming in a dark room and being able to see things better, but it was not the case. Maybe the Eclipse2 is better, but I have yet to pull the trigger on that one.

I would say a MX Revolution. I used to own the Sidewinder myself not a bad mouse definitely a 'palming' mouse. Currently using the Razer Deathadder due to a sale & liking the feel of the Habu & Deathadder better. Too bad you live where you do I gave the Sidewinder away.

DPI was never a problem w/ the Sidewinder. Honestly as far as tracking goes it matches the Habu quite well.
