Logitech G5 Laser Mouse is game to frag

If you're a PC gamer, your mouse defines you. Yeah, the keyboard's important, but it's the mouse that shows just how hardcore you are. Logitech has been at this whole mouse-building thing for a while, and I've been impressed by a number of their products. While it's not necessarily new, I'm thinking of snagging a Logitech G5 gaming mouse that one of my friends has. Not only does it use superior laser tracking for efficiency on glossy surfaces, not only does it boast the ability to switch scanning resolution from 400 to 800 to 2000 dpi on the fly, but it also has a removable, adjustable weight cartridge.
That's pretty crazy. But on the other hand, it does give us a handy excuse whenever we play him in first person shooters. "Oh, well, sure, but have you seen his mouse?"

And not only does it not have drivers for Mac!
I'd suggest the MX1000, which, although it doesn't have adjustable DPI or weight, it has lots of buttons! And not only does it have lots of buttons, but those buttons have a Mac driver!

I have this mouse for my Mac, and go totally fragtastic in quake daily. If you are a resourceful Mac user (ie don't become user-friendly dependent) you might find some nice mac drivers online for this sucker.
