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

The mouse overall feels great but the scroll wheel makes a really annoying squeaking noise

Compared to the G400s that I had previously, the coating felt garbage on the mx518 legendary and the mouse overall felt a lot cheaper compared to the G400s. The cable was too thin to use in my zowie bungie so that made it even more annoying.

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.

The mouse feels comfortable in your hands. I like the ability to easily assign the extra buttons. Would definitely recommend!!

thin cheap wire, rubber pads glued on bottom crooked causing corners to stick up. i had the old model of the mx518 and that was made way better.

I have been using a version of this mouse almost as long as I can remember. Its the best.

i bought it because the dog of my friend made a vase fall on my original MX 518 . i bought a G Pro but i liked my original MX 518 better ( better grip and overall use).So that is why i bought this remake.It is a very good mouse but i like the original MX518 more.This remake feels different( read for me less good). Nevertheless in my opinion one of the best mice you can buy nowadays

This isnt 100% a copy of the old MX-518, though if it was I probably still would have rated it 4 stars or higher. Instead this one is updated a bit so its probably cheaper to produce and more reliable. Previously I had to resort to the G400s to come close to the greatness of this mouse, and it worked OK, though I found the sensor on that mouse to be extremely flawed. With some sensors (and maybe even with the OLD 518) if the mouse pad or surface you used it on had a repeating pattern, the mouse could get confused about where it was moving and would become jittery, sometimes even when the mouse was perfectly still. I have yet to see that happen yet on this mouse which is great since my default mouse surface has a very regular pattern to it. The G400s also had a bright red light shining from the sensor but the MX-518 uses infrared instead so it doesnt shine a dot on the wall if you hold it up or turn it upside-down. Everything else about this mouse is pretty much the same as far as I can tell without opening it up to look. The shape, color, texture, position of the buttons, type of buttons/mouse wheel... all of it feels very familiar and comfortable to me. If you like the G400s or liked the old MX-518 you may want to look at this mouse next time you need a new one. One flaw of the old MX-518 that hasnt shown up was that the sensor used prediction when the mouse was moving very quickly. This meant that during a game session if you needed to 360º noscope someone, and you turned the mouse really fast, it would take the last direction it moved and lock it into a flat/straight line until you stopped or slowed down. You could see this in action by opening a drawing program and trying to draw a curved line really fast. At some point the curve would stop and it would lock into a perfectly straight line as the prediction kicked in. As I said though, from my preliminary tests with this mouse, it doesnt seem to be present, or maybe it is but just needs ungodly amounts of speed to show up (like moving the mouse so fast it would fly off the table and hit a wall). In any case, for how inexpensive it is, this is a good mouse, now even better for gaming than before.

This is it... the last mouse you will ever need. Once youre done playing with the 200,000 DPI nonsense with RBG glowly lights, you can settle on this timeless classic. Its solid hardware, solid switches, comfortable in your hand, and does everything you need all in one package. Ive owned a few dozen mice and at one time even collected them, this is the one.

I just wanted to preface this by saying Ive been using Logitech mice most of my life, starting with multiple MX510 and an MX518. I was excited to hear that they relaunched the MX518 and ordered it immediately upon finding out. I was pretty disappointed to say the least when I actually started using it. It had the familiar grip and weight but the sensor is just straight awful. I can barely lift the mouse off the mousepad without the cursor going haywire. My 12 year old MX510 is still way more accurate than whatever this is. Feels like they just repackaged a garbage mouse as the MX518 in name only. Disappointed.
