Just a question, if anyone's used both. I *really* like the overall feel of the G500 - nice mouse. I wanted to try the Naga Hex due to the extra buttons (and the DPI clutch is an amazing idea! can I get that on my G500?). My G500 is *very* smooth, I can control it, the feet slide nicely on my giant mousepad (I ordered neoprene in a sheet an the entire surface of my desk is a mousepad). I tried the razer and love the buttons, but I'm having a heck of a time getting a smooth slide... when shooting long range I keep overshooting, regardless of resolution. The mouse is almost too light and too... thin? I'm new to the gaming mouse thing, I started MWO playing with a $5 mouse and either of the new ones are an improvement. Any tips for "smoothing" the razer? I set the polling interval and the DPI steps the same as the G500... it might just be the difference in mass. Any thoughts appreciated. Also, any mouse that feels like a G500 but has more buttons (in a more accessible place - my thumb is too long to use 2 of the 3 buttons on the side of the g500 comfortably).

G700s hands down, similar to the G500 but more buttons that are way more accessible.

Also wireless, though you may or may not care for that

Make sure acceleration is turned off! Both in Windows and in the Razer software. If you need help with this, I'm sure someone can assist, and there's always Google 
You might be interested in Razer's Goliathus mouse pads, even though they're probably very similar to what you're using anyway. I've tried different hard surface pads, and I ended up preferring the cloth pads - they seemed to be more effective at controlling "overshoot" without turning the DPI way down (other brands are good too, but Razer sensors in my experience tend to prefer Razer pads...).
Otherwise, you're probably just running into the differences between sensors. I don't know offhand what Razer uses for the Naga Hex (Phillips? Avago?) but some have a slight built-in acceleration that may result in a different feel. Most of Razer's mice seem to be built for slightly smaller hands, so that might be a factor too (their DeathAdder is probably the largest). There's lots of great mice out there, and it mostly comes down to personal preference.
If you have larger hands, I'll second the G700, although I personally found it a little heavy and I prefer rubber sides instead of textured plastic. The Func MS-3 is a great (best, in my opinion) choice for larger hands if you use a palm grip and uses a similar sensor as the G700. The Razer Imperator has a similar shell shape as the G500, but you'll probably think it's too light. In the end, you just have to go with what is most comfortable for you.

Thanks for the feedback, gents.
I find that the razer is perhaps too light and the pads are not quite slick enough. If it was heavier or the pads were slicker I think I'd be ok. I'm going to take it apart and install some flat lead wheel weights (I normally use for balancing motorcycle wheels) to see if it makes the razer more usable. I'll check out the g700. I know it's nitpicky, but I broke my thumb badly a long time ago so the stretch for my thumb to hit the g500 side buttons hurts
first world problems!

I agree on the G700. It gives you what you want, feels like a G500, and you get the build quality of a Logitech instead of the built "quality" of a Razer (there's a reason it feels "light" to you while the Logitechs [presumably] feel heavier )
