I recently change from a logitech G5 to a steelseries xai, and I really like my new mouse. Very light and fits my hand really well even though it's ambidextrous.
The only thing I don't like is the fact that you can't really change the side buttons to work as another button, which you could with the G5. I mean, you can create macros such as "press ctrl for 0.3 seconds", but you can't have the button as the control button itself. Other than that I'm loving the mouse.

At least I have never had problems with the drivers. And it doesn't need the drivers to be installed since it stores your configurations. All you need the drivers for are for the initial configuration.
The thing I don't like about the G500 is how heavy it is. It's a really heavy mouse and then it even offers extra weights.. And even though G500 is ergonomic I think that the xai fits into my hand better.
Like I said, the only reason I even considered going back to the G5 was that you can assign different keys to the mouse buttons. Even though the xai lets you put macros it's not the same thing. It's just a minor inconvenience though, since instead of having M4 as CTRL I just need to have M4 as CTRL for 0.3 seconds and time the skills better.

I just got my Qpad 5K and I was very surprised. This mouse is not for the palm grip, which I originally expected.
It's actually made for the Fingertip and Claw grips. If you place your palm on it your fingers will end up slightly outside the front of the mouse.
It's VERY percise, glides well, has a nice weight (for me) and is extremely high quality, but can't be used with the palm grip.
The major thing about this mouse is that you're gonna be surprised at how low your ring-finger will rest. Normal gaming mice has it well above where it is on this mouse, but that's not a bad thing. It's just not something you're gonna be used to.
I'm probably gonna keep the mouse, but I'm considering getting a logitech G400/G500 for when I want to use the Palm grip.

On normal mice the ring finger is often placed upon the border of the mouse like these images illustrate (the RED finger is the ring finger):


But on the 5K it's placed in a "pocket" of sorts, like this:

It really takes some getting used to. Especially for me who has been using the Palm grip my entire life. My accuracy has been **** while playing with this mouse.

Hah. My ring finger is on the table, so it should be easy for me eh? :P

Ok, I've just about had it. I can't stand this grip. It just doesn't fit me.
I'm having some trouble switching to Finger since I've been using palm my entire life. I'm just more comfortable with Palm. I'm used to flexing with my wrist (which is very flexible) and not with my fingers, and the fact that I can't rest my wrist on it just kills me D:

"I also am Otherkin. Whenever autumn rolls around I can feel my kin-type slowly taking over my body. You must know, I identify as pumpkin. I can control it pretty good most of the time, but when September ends, I just cant hold it in anymore. Whenever Im outside I see my brothers and sisters being chopped into soup, coffee, donuts, cake, drinks, bread - ppl even cut human faces into their skin, making a mockery out of their noble appearance. When I see things like that I cant control my pumpkin urges anymore. My natural instincts kick in. I then sit down motionless, while getting bright orange." - Morgana L
