Can someone with a Logitech G5 test this thing?

This article mentions g5hack. Does this program work well for you?

I find that I have to add a sleep in between each command sent to the device.

In other words:

If someone can confirm for another G[3579] whether these sleeps really help, I'll try to make a new version that only sends commands given on the command line.
