Logitech G MX518 Gaming Mouse

The MX518 form has always been my favorite. Seems reasonably durable but all do seem to eventually suffer from the dreaded Logitech double click problem. Cheap as chips though, I have 3 spares in case they stop making them again.

The classic Logitech MX518 was the best mouse Ive ever owned. Everything about it always just felt right. Years ago I finally wore out the one Id had for nearly a decade and was sad I couldnt replace it. Thats no longer the case! This not be the same internals (its much more modern inside, duh) but the externals feel is EXACTLY the same. It just feels right in the hand. I could not be more pleased at having one in hand again. Best. Feeling. Mouse. Ever.

Edit as of 2/18/2021: Double clicking has started occurring now Oh well it was goodish while it lasted. Ergonomics are fantastic, performance is predicable and great, gloss finish on the top is the doing of satan..... Im a clean freak of sorts, and when Im holding something glossy my hands sweat that sweat then dries on the glossy object making it not clean... the pictures above are after about a hour of use after cleaning it for me, if your not afraid to modify it and remove the gloss finish its 100% worth it. I am going to wait for my warranty to run out before i attempt to do so. Conclusion, other than the abysmal gloss finish (have no idea how companies think they are still a good idea) its a amazing mouse comfort wise and performance

cambiaron los materiales, pero el precio es justo para el mejor sensor que tiene Logitech

Wow. Just wow. When they discontinued this model I was devastated. This was the most popular and best fit mouse that I used back in the old cs 1.6 / cs source days. I even messaged Logitech a few times to bring this back. Im sure this has nothing to do with my messages, but Im surely thankful that they relaunched this model. Best mouse ever made and highly recommend it. Not going to lie, I went away from Logitech mice for a while now, but Im back. Hope a Logitech rep reads some of these reviews ... Keep this mouse, PERMANENTLY. <3

The scroll wheels feels off coming from a g400s, the g400s was more stable and easy to track as I used it over the years, this one feels slightly slippery needs getting used to. And my palms keep sweating, ive never sweated so fast on my g400s, Actually i dont even remember sweating on my g400s ever. But for some reason my hand sweats so easily on this mx518 within minutes. I just wish they would make a g400s legendary instead, sure mx518 was good and popular, but the true real deal was the g400s as the best improvement of the mx518 back in the day. Ive used the g400s for over 8 years, bought one every 4 years, since 2012, but too bad, recently my g400s died so i was forced to buy a new one. Tried the g502 and another brand mouse they were terrible, I dont think im going to get used to sweating either.. Not sure what to do about this. I guess i can use it only on winters..

I am upgrading from a Logitech G5 mouse from 2006 (i think). The laser finally died. So i couldnt find a direct replacement for it ergonomically. Then i saw the MX518s shape and it was exactly the same shape and fit as the G5. As far as tracking is concerned, it is not laser, but a very high quality optical sensor. I guess optical has caught up with laser sensors. Didnt install any Logitech software. I get per-pixel tracking on my 4k tv and movement is very smooth. Only complaint is the material quality. For example, the clicks feel, light, like if i put some more than usually pressure something might break. The mouse wheel also feels somewhat cheap, the clicks are smooth but I can feel some cheap spring action. Finally, the cable is not braided like the G5 was, so the plastic sheathing can get chewed up easily. Again, its a great mouse for the money and for me particularly because of the shape that i love. so if youre thinking of getting this mouse for gaming and dont want to spend too much or dont get a mouse that looks like the batmobile and feels like it will break in your hands, this is a good choice.
