Logitech G MX518 Gaming Mouse Hero Sensor 16, 000 Dpi Arm Processor 8 Programmable Buttons (European Packaging) - Black

I dont use it for games. Thats why I left the gaming star rating blank. I use it for AutoCAD and Creo parametric. The extra buttons come in handy. Also I find having to change out batteries more annoying than a chord. So this one is perfect for my needs. And it fits perfect in my hand. Never any fatigue or discomfort. Thanks!

I bought this specific mouse two years ago at Best Buy and have had its predecessor for probably a decade to be honest... They both have been so good that I just had to buy another one for my office at work. No mouse fits better in my hand and just works like how you would want a mouse to work. The simple adjustable DPI buttons save me so much time and just simply work. If you havent already tried this mouse, do it asap!

Everything about this mouse is great except one thing: the mouse wheel makes a sort of high pitched grinding sound when you spin it. If you go slowly, you can feel it grinding against something when rolling it down. Its not a new problem or unique to the one I got. I was researching it and found a year-old video of someone demonstrating the exact same problem, plus others commenting about it. Its a shame, because otherwise this mouse is fantastic, but this mechanical flaw is a total dealbreaker.

Very dependable mouse used same model over six years for hard gaming

I use this primarily on my work Mac which I use to do software development. Ive had the old generation model for over 10 years and its been great. I liked that the auxiliary button below the sensitivity selector buttons could be used as a shortcut on the Mac to go into the window switcher mode. In the latest generation, theyve changed that button to reset the sensitivity to default and it no longer works as Mouse Button 6 in the keyboard shortcuts selection menu. I tried changing the settings in Logitechs GHub software but couldnt figure out if it was possible and after 10 minutes gave up after failing to discover if it was possible to customize a profile with button remappings to make this mouse equivalent to the old generation. Overall, it felt like they added more ((confusing) software / profiles) but made the defaults less useful (for me anyways). Im going to keep this mouse since the Razr mouse I bought before this scroll wheel broke after 4 months and this ones scroll wheel works for now.

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.

Glory days are gone pc players. The mouse is good, not sure about the negative reviews. Buy some weight tape and add on the bottom this will stabilize the mouse. Coming back to gaming after a decade hiatus, man razor still sucks. Deathadder right it really lived up to the hype added a lot of death on my part, they never closed the gap with Logitech over the last decade. Still the same old crap quality 10 years ago, I got fooled by internet reviews big time. Vice versa bad mx518 reviews kept me from buying. Glad I got it though. One down side with this is the gloss, Logitech should implement g500 body which are non slip. Anyways well job done, much better than the hero stuff it may have been more versatile but for all purpose it’s still mx518. I genuinely say thank you for bringing it back. But for perfection g500 non slip body, and heavier. And please don’t discontinue as long as we live.

This mouse works well for everything

Logitech G MX518 >>> pro: fits hand comfortably - (right hand only); buttons easy to reach, dpi increase/decrease easy to use and reach; glides well. cons: the center roller is terrible! feels very cheap and clunky. if rotating upwards or downwards in constant movement, its usable. stop for a few seconds and the moment you start to rotate again it feels stuck then jumps forward. becomes very annoying after only a few tries. I bought this mouse back in april 2022 and left it in box on a shelf for future use. today was future use after corsair katar pro began to show left clicky issues but in all honesty, id prefer to continue to use the corsair until new replacement arrives instead of new Logitech G MX518.

There was a slight tear on the cable of the unit I got and it basically stopped working within an hour of use. The RMA process went smooth so far, but when the whole point was to get a dropin replacement for an original MX518 thats been going strong for 15 years, this was a disappointment.
