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

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

I do not need a gaming quality mouse, but was looking for one that has good accuracy, isnt too expensive, and is a good size. I have long fingers and cheaper mice all seem to be smaller, my hand engulfs them. This is the slightly larger size I wanted, it works well, and the price was decent; so happy with it so far. My only gripe is the scroll wheel is noisy. It works fine, so Im sure Ill get used to it; and definitely not a reason to avoid the mouse, it just stands out to me when Im scrolling through something long.

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.

Excellent. Used in a CPA firm

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.

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.

Dont know if its just the mouse I received, but the mouse tracking feels strange. Cursor moves smoothly sometimes and then all of a sudden stutters for a split second causing me to have to lift the mouse and move it again for the cursor to cross the screen. Movement was better a textured mat compared to my mouse pad or just a hard smooth surface, but disappointed that my old mouse (also logitech) that Ive been using for three years on a mouse pad still works better.

I bought a few of these (two initially and one recent replacement). People have made videos online about how to repair the switches when they stop working. They arent hermetically sealed, and probably dont use corrosion-resistant conductors (such as gold). They are Chinese switches and they stop working right after about two years. Of the two I bought initially, one got very heavy use and the other was seldom used at all. Both failed at about the same time. If youre going to drop $100 on a gaming mouse, look for one that doesnt contain defective switches.

mouse works as intended had my last one for years only replaced due to wear I am left handed and prefer this mouse

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.
