I've actually filed the edges of my old G3 because it got so bad. And I've given it new gliding skates. I just don't get it why is it so hard to make the mouse "belly" arched everywhere but where gliding skates are (and the sensor). Or if they can make a sensor which allows slightly higher placement. The gliding smoothness would be so much better. I mean, I had to toss out all the weights from my G502 because belly itself is adding more resistance than I want. I like the silky smooth texture of clothed mouse mats opposed to cold and gritty feeling metal ones.

is it sturdier than a MX510 or 518?

If not- waste of time
I still have, and use daily, my red MX510, that's old as the world. Not a single fault. Fell to the floor or I threw it into the wall numerous times
Many of my friends that had newer G series mice complain a lot about switches issues, double clicking, no clicking, etc...
I'm 100% sure you won't get that product quality on any mouse out there, Logi or other...

Intellimouse Explorer 3.0 masterrace suffer not those things, also with my rubber-with-cloth mousepad from the 90's.

I like this mouse actually. I fear it might be a bit too small, but those features are nice, for that price. When/if my Intellimouse Explorer dies and I can't find a new one for decent money I might take a look at this.
If you do like that mouse, there's plenty of options that are similar to it. Check out mice like the Zowie EC series, the Steelseries Rival, or the Logitech G403.

Too late Logitech. I turned to Mionix for my mouse needs because you have been making nothing but mice that looks like transformers for the last 6 years.

I was looking at the Mionix Castor for a while for my next mouse, till i decided on the Rival 300. Didn't like the unsafe shape on it. Same with the Naos.

During my research I had read a lot of good about the Rival 300. I am absolutely happy with the Castor though.
