Logitech G MX518 Gaming Mouse Hero 25K Sensor, 25,600 DPI, ARM-Processor, 8 Programmable Buttons - Black/Grey

Bought a couple of these as gifts after buying one myself. High quality mouse that wont let you down.

I bought an MX518 back in 2006 for my one of my first computer builds. It fit perfectly into my hand years ago. The button layout and placement felt second nature. This new version feels and contours to my hand the same as the one I bought back in 2006. That mouse lasted through 15 years of games, school work, and boredom. Hopefully, this new one lasts just as long, if not longer. The only difference I can find (aside from the design and higher accuracy) is the left and right click buttons are a little louder and stiffer than the old one. However, thats more than likely due to 15 years of wear and tear.

I still have an original mx518 that I still use. The pictures with the new and original one. The laser looks different and the newer version is 3.6 oz, 0.3 oz lighter than the original. Feels comfortable enough, got this for $20 on Black Friday from BB

This has been a good corded mouse for me at my desktop.

Ive been using the mouse for couple of days and I notice the new Mx518 have some minor flaws compare to my current old G400. Build quality was consider a downgrade, thinner plastic and the weight feels lighter and not as balanced as well, making it more difficult to move the mouse smoothly. Ergonomics with the Mx518 not as comfortable as the G400 since the buttons is harder to click, my hand feels tired after using it for a while. Also I experience occasion stuttering with the mouse I think the sensor not tracking properly, and the new GHub software has less customization with no option to activate mouse acceleration. Its best to just buy another G400 or the G400s version if my current one has worn out.

I have bought 2 of these, i use one at work, one at home. Home consists of gaming primarily, and at work i use several spreadsheets throughout the day, the buttons to control mouse speed are very handy as well as using the thumb buttons to go back or forward on websites is very handy.

If I jiggle the mouse cord while its plugged in to my primary Windows laptop, it stops being recognized by my laptop, and I have to unplug it and plug it back in. I dont have this issue with any other device I plug into my primary laptop. I didnt return it since it seems to work well with my Chromebook. I would pass on this mouse, however, in the future.

Pro: Nostalgia. Con: Unlike its original debut, MX518 is no longer a winner in ergonomic since all the mice ranging from $10 to $100 follow similar design. The new MX518 is true to its original design where scrolling wheel only has the clicky mode. I really wanted the switch between clicky and smooth/silent mode on the wheel cause the scrolling on this MX518 makes such loud noise. Overall impression: I would probably go back to a later version of logitech mouse or even a $20 cheap brand one, for the added functionalities. Unless you are an older generation of gamer looking for that old feeling, this mouse is not the best choice for the price.

I dislike the fact that I ordered a new mouse and I got a used one. The pads have marks on them which means it was used and returned, not what I expected.....not happy...

This mouse is exactly what I paid for, great quality, I love the way it molds to your hand, and overall is easy to handle.
