I have the G500 and do the same, though a bit of a warning, if you are left handed (like me), it is much easier to use the mouse right handed. Luckily I can use a mouse with either, but using a gaming mouse with your left hand feels ʎllɐǝɹ pɹıǝʍ ... and as far as I can tell there is only 1 left handed gaming mouse available and it inst a good model
