Actually I didn't take any pieces off the casing: I ripped the entire casing out. Then I glued the button piece straight onto the base. But okay underscore, what would have been a better way to describe this in a thread title?

Your hand doesn't actually contact any of the sharp edges. At least if you hold your mouse in a claw grip like I do, vs palming it.

Haha now that you mention it, I'm thinking about transplanting a wireless transceiver into this thing.
Time to put my EE degree to use.

also if you make this wireless (no clue why you'd bother?) where do you plan to fit the batteries?

Hey, I have a logitech G7. Basically a G5 but wireless, I'll be removing the body panels and maybe add a turbo in the future. Plus my mouse has this carbon fiber lookalike overlay!

That looks pretty retarded to be honest. Go buy yourself a new mouse if your old one doesn't fit your needs.

Haha jesus you guys need to get the fuck off RS if you're so against modding things because you can. Point is, it felt fat in my hand and it sucked to claw it because of the thumb and pinky grips. So I did something about it. It's an 6 year old G5, who cares?
underscore: the G7 has battery packs that slot right into where the weight cartridges go; I may look into picking up a G7 for the power system and wireless transceiver.
J_____: I still have full access to the thumb button. What I've lost is the two DPI mode buttons, but I've never touched them before after I settled on one DPI setting so I figured I'd leave it out.
TOS'd: I think the G7 looks like ass with the friggin checkered flag  . I didn't even know that was supposed to be CF.
TRDood: I am getting a new mouse. This G5 was originally a friend's throwaway that I'm using temporarily til Logitech replaces my VX Revolution. It's in the mail at the moment.

Modding for purpose is one thing. Modding by ripping the ergonomic parts of a mouse off and making it look like a broken piece of shit is another.
It would be like modifying a Porsche by taking off the windshield. WOO I MODDED MY PORSCHE!!!

The only bits of my hand that touched the shell I ripped out was the thumb and pinky grips, which I wanted to get rid of. So now my thumb and pinky touch the mousepad: this is what I wanted.

Cool, so back on topic.
I'm thinking about lowering the height of the buttons, the mouse still feels kinda tall. Seems I have the necessary clearance, but I'm not sure if doing this would make it suck to use the scroll wheel then. Thoughts?

I may have some G7 components that I can donate. Basically it has the double click issue that some Logitechs seem to get. I still need to RMA it to get a replacement but after that I have no use for it.

2) forgive my ignorance but what's the difference between the 5 and 7? why not just use the 7 instead of continuing this bastardization? Quote:

underscore:
1)Because I don't have a G7 at my disposal. I do have a G5.
2)K well I'm really sorry that I'm not living up to your expectations on the word "modded". But this is what I found at dictionary.com: Quote:
mod·i·fy [mod-uh-fahy] Show IPA verb, -fied, -fy·ing.
–verb (used with object)
1.
to change somewhat the form or qualities of; alter partially; amend: to modify a contract.
| Maybe we should write in to dictionary.com, you and me. We'll get these bastards.

Hopefully you're able to find your old receipt so they won't ask for your defective one back first. I couldn't find mine. =(
