I've had the logitech G500 for 5 years now, and I absolutely love it. It is still in perfect condition, and if it ever does break, I'll be getting another. It's durable, smooth, has two extra buttons, and is wired. As for a mouse pad, I agree that it is annoying to have limited space to work with. That said, I got the steel series mouse pad, which is huge. It's 17.7x15.7 inches, and even playing games like data 2 and CS:GO, I never have a problem with reaching the edges.
