I changed from a G700 to a G500 today. If anyone cares I've made a little list of pros and cons if anyone is interested and is making a decision between the two.
The shape is almost identical, I had to move my hand a tiny bit towards me for the G500. I palm grip both mice.
The feel is the same, has a nice fine, smooth sandpaper feel on the sides, good for gripping.
Both have hyper scroll, I use this a lot for scrolling through long documents and web pages. Also, flicking through your weapons really fast is cool too.
The Logitech Gaming Software is amazing, has so many features to create versatile macros. You can assign anything to anything. I've used it to make a ctap script.
They both use the Avago ADNS-S9500 which has acceleration, but can be disabled in Logitech Gaming Software. It is a laser sensor, which I know a lot of you flip about over. But the difference is really not amazingly significant.
G700:
+ Go to gaming mouse if you HAVE to be wireless
+ More resistance to scroll wheel
+ More macro buttons (only used one of them)
- Feet are too slippy, because it's wireless it's fallen off my desk sometimes because the feet are so slippy
- Cable is very thick and clunky because of it having to have multiple connections for data and charge. It moves the mouse slightly when you let go
- Side buttons are not robust, I use it for my push to talk key and the key has fallen out multiple times, had to get replacement
G500:
+ Much more tactile side buttons, better clicking
+ Weight cartridge is great, I like to have a heavy mouse, but it is versatile in the weight factor
+ Cable is so much better, does not move the mouse at all
+ Very stylish pattern on the middle section of the mouse
- Scroll wheel is slightly lighter to scroll than G700, personal preference here
- Less macro buttons but it is suited to my needs more than the G700
Overall, the G700 is basically a wireless G500 with more buttons. They have the same sensor.

How did you make a ctap script using the logitech software?
Thanks for the comparison by the way.

I switched from the g700 to the g400 and going back to the g700 feels really odd, its definitely delayed, even when plugged in.
I didn't have a problem with my side buttons, they actually felt great.
But other than the fact that it's wireless i found it to be a really nice mouse to use, everything was pretty nice about it, the material they used on the entire mouse is fucking amazing, i want it on everything i own.
Fuck setpoint though

SpideHow did you make a ctap script using the logitech software?
Thanks for the comparison by the way.
Here's a screenshot of the set up. You can see I've assigned it to the top left button. The scripting is pretty self explanatory. Press ctrl down, waits .060 seconds, lets control up, then jumps and shoots at the same time. It definitely works, can do gran mid balcony to balcony jump everytime. Just requires a little bit of getting the timing to work.

I think this is a personal problem as the only button that broke was my PTT key
32hzFuck setpoint though
Yeah that's a piece of shit, worst configuration program ever. But they updated the G700 to use LGS now which is great.
What do you think of the G400 in comparison to the G700? I spent ages deciding between G400 and G500.

Could have been the mouse pad you're using, laser doesn't work well on cloth pads. You can also set the polling rate (times at which it checks for updates per second) and the power settings for "max gaming". And finally wireless interference from your surroundings

the g700 felt uncomfortable, and that's coming from a mx1000

The G700 is probably the worst shaped and feeling mouse I have ever used. The side buttons are shit, the switches they use in M1 & M2 feel terrible, the shape of the mouse is a joke (at least in regards to FPS gaming). The scroll wheel feels weaksauce with no real resistance.
AlfieG700:
+ Go to gaming mouse if you HAVE to be wireless
You have obviously never used the Razer Mamba. It shits on all other wireless mice.

AlfieThe Logitech Gaming Software is amazing, has so many features to create versatile macros. You can assign anything to anything. I've used it to make a ctap script..
RJ script? LOL
Seriously though, don't know how I feel about using scripts to perform difficult parts of the game

It depends on how available such an automation is, whether it actually *breaks* the game's mechanics like the charge turn scripts do, and how difficult what it's doing actually is. A crouch jump bind is totally legitimate, where on the other hand a script that uses wait and actually completes an entire defrag map automatically is pretty bad.
A ctap macro is in some kind of gray zone, because it's hard to do and *can* be very useful but it's not quite the same as having frame perfect bunnyhopping.

You can create a ctap script in AutoHotkey, a publicly available program. It's available to everyone.

Now that I think about it, the wait command was removed.
So this isn't like a script, as it utilizes a command that was specifically disabled for things like this
So you're using external programs for
Enhancedgaming
That wouldn't be possible without the use of said external programs.
That's unfair to others

dude message me when you figure out how to get aim assist
