Hello guys,
well my G400 broke recently so I decided to buy a new mouse. I'd like to get a G500 but I heard some rumors that lazer sensors are having issues with cloth mousepads(I'm using a Razer Goliathus Control atm) but I also read that the G500 works great on pads like the Steelseries Qck+ or the Goliathus Speed edition. Does anyone here got the G500 with a cloth pad (preferably the control one ;) ) and if yes, how does it work with it?

my g500 tends to jitter a bit on cloth, actually seems to work better with no mouse pad and just using my desk.

logitech mice have a 3 year warranty, why not get the g400 replaced for free? i had an issue with my g400 (same cord issue others had) and the process took less than 5 minutes over the phone. just provide the information on the belly of the mouse and they can check in their systems to see if it's still under warranty. no invoice or receipt needs to be produced. if i am not mistaken, the g400 has not been in production for 3 years so it should be covered.

When i asked to swap my g500 for a g400 they said it's not possible. How do i word it so that they would agree to it?

Well I tried the G500 in my local store and it just feels more comfortable to me. Also like I said I read that the G500 works with some cloth pads

@ Bonkers: They didn't. They just gave me a 60% discount on the G500

well, i am biased because i have been playing with optical mice my whole FPS career and think they are better than laser. i also think the mx518 is actually better than the new "upgraded" g400. but that's just me. i mean if money is no issue, by all means get the g500 but i think you will be disappointed compared to the g400. again, if it's covered under warranty, you just gotta wait 4-6 business days for it to ship. nothing beats free imo.

also, for those who opened their mice up to fix the cord, logitech did not ask me for the defected mouse back, so technically they would never know that you voided the warranty (i didn't btw). on top of that, i think logitech knows it's an issue but won't admit it, i think they would rather just replace them for free.

#4 - sorry but since the product info is tied to that product, i don't think you can. but i don't work for logitech

Artisan Hayate supposedly is the best cloth pad for laser sensors.

I use a g500 and I can't use my qck+ with it at all. The jitter is too awful, and is likely pronounced because I use pretty low sensitivity. I just use my hardwood desk, the tracking is much better and the malfunctions are gone. Shame, it's such a good mouse otherwise.

I wonder when the Ninox Aurora is coming out. I kind of want to drop some money on that.

So I bought some poster paper for 50 cents and am using the smooth side as a mousepad. This is actually pretty awesome. Would recommend to people with g500s that feel the neg accel. OP, you should use your discount and do this. It's a pretty great mouse discarding the malfunction rate on cloth, the mousewheel is the coolest shit.
