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

I tried many gaming and regular mice, but very few allowed me to.... • rest my hand without my fingers pressing the buttons accidentally • had the browser back/forward buttons in place that was comfortable, and didnt press them accidentally • use a resting palm to navigate, not fingertips or claw • not spend an exorbitant amount of money • not constantly replace batteries, or worry if a distracting power warning, or signal aberration is about to interfere with my gaming in a clutch spot. • have a mouse wheel with a medium amount of resistance, but also offers tactile granularity (it clicks regularly, and consistently, for smooth, reliable scrolling. Not much jerking) This contour style seems to be a throwback, and largely going out of style. This is a shame, but this thumb contour style used to dominate the market, from what I remember. I will likely buy a replacement of this same mouse as soon as my current one shows signs of wear and tear -- but one year in, and its still wonderful.

As soon as I opened the box I saw the top mouse pad was missing. This type of QC issue doesnt occur on the $5.00 mouse you get at a big box store. I expected better from a mouse marketed as a gaming mouse.

Feels like my old workhorse except the left and right click are louder and require a little more effort to depress. Maybe harder switches? Either way happy as an old mx518 replacement.

I think the seller send me a counterfeit product, since the serial number on the box mismatch with the label on the mouse. Ive included photos to verify the problem. The mouse itself feel very uncomfortable to move around because the sensor sometimes random slow down, make this mouse lack of precision when playing fps shooters or fast pace game. The left click seems very stiff and not like my old g400s which has a much better click response, the button feels smoother with crisp. Maybe Im just unlucky enough to received a defective mouse.

I used one when they originally came out for gaming many years ago. Recently started gaming again and it’s the same mouse that I originally loved. Just as comfortable and accurate as it was 15 years ago when I bought my first one

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.

thought id try this new G MX518 for my 2nd setup. the cheaper construction wouldnt be a problem but the left click is awful. My now 10+ year old original MX518 is still working perfectly fine. on depressing the left click, it kind of gets stuck halfway up and theres a plasticky noise like its scraping against something. makes it so when clicking a lot, there are some missed clicks due to some times when the left click didnt fully depress. this issue isnt present with the right click, nor with my original 10+ year old MX518. Save your money.

I purchased this to replace an original MX518 that I had for years. Overall this new version only looks like the original. The new version feels cheap and slippery. It doesnt slide smoothly over the same desktop and the roller wheel is noisy.

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

you can never really recreate the exact same mouse, because of new technology used ect., but theG MX518 comes very close to the original exept it is lighter and because of that feels a little bit cheaper then the original. I contribute that more to that the electronics used these days are just lighter in weight, that doesnt mean its inferior quality. I use mine for about a year now almost every day and it works just fine with gaming and office work.
