I'm a software developer and the g502 has changed my world. The option to shift to free scrolling seems like a small thing, and almost detrimental due to the hypersensitivity. But once I got used to it, the ability to blast through long text files at high speed with a flick and stop on a dime anywhere has really spoiled me. I catch myself doing the same 'flick' motion with other mice before realizing I'm not using a g502.
Here's my problem - I have big hands with long spindly fingers, and only feel comfortable with the largest of mice, with designs like the mionix naos and logitech g400/500 being the absolute perfect size. Unfortunately, logitech chose to trim the width of the g502 substantially from older models, so that the area where my fingers used to comfortably rest on the right side of the g400 now just drag along the mousepad on the proteus. If I could, I would take the scroll wheel from the g502 and place it in something like the naos 7000, and basically never buy another optical mouse again.
My questions is, does anyone know if there are any other mice out there utilizing a similar free-scrolling wheel design? (hopefully a larger mouse than the g502)
