I've looked at a review or 2 and the mouse seems like a good choice however coming from a Razer mouse I've experienced that feeling of having a good working mouse for a year or and a bit before it starts giving its issues.

does anyone have this mouse or have a good/bad experience with the brand?

I bought a Roccat (don't know model name) for my GF. She likes it because you can switch the colour of the glow lights. It seems to work fine, no major issues yet. However, the build quality leaves something to be desired. It holds together well enough, but the finish is a bit rough for example the edges of plastic are not completely smooth.

*EDIT: I got her a Roccat Kova

Logitech, 3 year warranty.

Had a Anywhere MX, at almost 2 years old a button failed. Took it in to the shop I bought it from, they didn't sell the mouse any more so they told me I could get any other mouse to the same value or pay in on something better.

So I got the G700 and paid only R600 in, at the time the mouse was going for R1600.

I tried the Logitech G500 but the button layout didn't work for me. I had a G5 and it was awesome! The only reason I replaced it was because ...well, I clicked the buttons paint off. I think I still have it lying around somewhere. Will maybe post a pic of it.

I found that logitechs drivers for the mice though are really crap. I also cannot go back to something that doesn't have 2 thumb buttons. But the Logitech Duel Optical and G5 had to be the best mice I ever owned even with the crappy drivers.

Im looking at a sharkoon Drakonia. they seem pretty decent, and the reviews all seem good.

Might go for the Drakonia black if they manage to get them here in sa

My Cyborg RAT 7 is still going strong after about 2 years. No issues.

G700 has four thumb buttons

The G700 is the wireless version of the G500 right? I found those thumb buttons uncomfortable. It's a shame since that is the only difference between the G5 and G500.

Nope, completely different than the G500. It can be used wired or wireless.

That thing looks ugly and uncomfortable. I got a hold of my old G5 ...it needs to be cleaned by a biohazard crew or something.

Granted it's not a looker, but it is comfortable.
