G5 Mouse skipping driving me nuts

Hey guys,

I have a blue Logitech G5 and it won't stop skipping in game when I do fast 180's! You know....when I try to change my direction really fast I end up staring at the ceiling! I believe I have the most updated firmware (4.60.122)....here's some screenshots of my settings

I'm using a gray Fatal1ty mousepad - haven't washed it in about 6 months, could that have something to do with it?

By the way the mouse feet are in great condition still. And if it matters at all, I'm playing Quake Live at 1280x1024

Thank you

I do have another Logitech mouse (not a G5) in my house I could play around with. I've just been using a G5 for about 2 years. This blue one I have is relatively new...only a year old.

Since you're used to the shape, I'd say go with the mx518. As long as you stay away from laser you shouldn't have to deal with skipping on any decent gaming mouse.
Make sure to run the usb polling rate at 500hz. 1k is too much, for most motherboards, even the high end ones.

That is the mouse that is sitting in my closet. I think I'll give it a go

Perfect, you don't even have to go shopping. Hey, if it's good enough for the currently highest ranked american Quake pro, it's good enough for me!

Ack actually bro it was a G3. For some reason it doesn't skip either. Thanks for your help anyway!
