Logitech G MX518 Gaming Mouse

The best mouse ever made just got better. I noticed that the chord and texture is improved over the original.

I recommend the delivery in order and playing at one

My husband has had this same model mouse for many years. When his old mouse started to break down, he searched for a replacement, trying everything from a very cheap mouse to a very VERY expensive gaming mouse. None of them were quite what he wanted. Finally, we found this same model on Amazon, and immediately ordered it! Hes thrilled, and Im considering ordering another one (or more!) as a backup, just in case this model has been discontinued when he needs another one. Its hard to find a mouse that fits just right, and this one is perfect for him. From other reviews, I see that this particular mouse is a well-loved model, and its not just my husband who thinks its perfect!

And better than ever. I am not going to write a long review other than it is a great mouse. Sensor is accurate and doesnt do weird interpolation, smoothing or acceleration like some others do. Skates hold up well, clicks are a little loud though. If you are use to the MX518, G400 series, etc then this mouse will feel fine. Good for the palm grip people and weird finger/palm grip I have. Just be sure to use it on a good mouse pad. These sensor is VERY good. It will pick up things and cause your cursor to jump. If you have a good one, keep it clean. I recommend it be used on a hard mouse pad and not a cloth one. Glides smoother.

Throwback to 2005! I am so happy I found this mouse. I used the original MX518 from 2005 to at least 2016 and then I lost it in a move, or maybe I still have it buried in a box...but I can guarantee if I found it, its STILL WORKING! It somehow managed to escape my terrible cat who is a notorious cord chewer. This new MX518 is comfortable, crisp, responsive (as my husband said jealously when he looked at the box of my new mouse This one is better than the one I have and he bought one that is at least $250 because it charges wirelessly on its pad.) Well, guess what, my mouse will never run out of batteries mid-raid when the tank has just pulled a boss! My only tiny tiny problem, and this is my own problem, because I own a terrible cat, is that the USB cord is so thin and light and attractive to my cat who could literally sever it in one chomp of her fiendish teeth. Yes, I know people hate it, but I wish Logitech had gone braided cable with this one. Currently, I unplug and put the mouse in a safe place so she cant get it, but I know Ill lapse one day and shell chomp it. Come to think of it, I should probably search amazon for some cord protectors... gotta go!

The original concept of the 3-button mouse was to use right click with the ring finger. Almost nobody did this so today few mice are designed for this hand position. The MX518 and its descendants are! This thing is a palm-position beast that works beautifully for both high and low res players - once you get used to it! If you grew up right clicking with your middle finger, expect a tough first week with the mx518, followed by a lifetime of satisfaction.

Got this yesterday and have logged several hours on it already playing shooters and while the shape is nothing that new, the sensor is extraordinary. You could perform surgery with this thing. The feel of this mouse isnt quite as solid or quality as I would think but its not that bad. The shape is pretty good but I find I have a hard time finding a comfortable spot for my pinky. Its not a huge deal and nothing that would keep me from using it. Again, the sensor is the best Ive ever used and I presently own literally a dozen gaming mice. I usually buy one ever 4 or 5 months. So comfort Id give this a 7.5 with the DeathAdder being a 10. Build Quality Id also give a 7.5. It doesnt feel cheap but it doesnt feel high quality either. Performance Id give a 10. Easily the best, most accurate sensor on the market and Logitechs gaming software is second to none. So yeah, for $60 this is easily worth it. Highly recommended.

For over seven years Ive been using a Raizer Taipan. The middle mouse button finally went out and it was starting to have tracking issues so I retired it. Unfortunatly, razer no longer makes the Taipan nor anything I would consider its equivalent. So I purchased the mx518 on the premise that any mouse so beloved the company would bring its design out of retirement couldnt be that bad. After a bit of remapping so that up/down DPI where both below the scroll wheel and DPI shift was above it, I started using it. The difference in size and wait where noticeable but the biggest problem was shifting from a flat topped mouse to an angled mouse. After a few months the issues I had at first have become completely non-noticeable and Ive grown accustomed to it. I can say that it does its job and does it well, with no frills.

Its overall pretty nice. Although for how much this thing costs it feels pretty flimsy. The buttons also just stick anything onto it and can get dirty easily, nothing like any mouse Ive ever used. It feels a bit awkward for my ring finger like it has nowhere to go but I ended up clawing the thing the whole time anyways. I always use the middle mouse button to open and close links/tabs and the button started to give away and make a crunched plastic sound but it did go away somehow which was cool... If this product costs maybe half what it is then Id definitely recommend and give 5 stars but it does have some flaws. It performs nicely though its just the flaws really stick to my mind.

In the past, Logitech support was unmatched with anybody else. It is the main reason I buy Logitech. I so not know what changed. I started having an issue with my mx518 and contacted support. My mouse was listed in my logitech profile with serial number, model number, purchase date and from where, etc. I started a support ticket from my profile. It took 3 days for them to reply to that and then asked for all of the information about my mouse that was already registered with them. I gave them the information. 3 days later, they ask for a photo of the serial number of the mouse and a hand written note with my ticket number. I ask why this stuff is not part of my profile. 3 days later I get a response that it is part of my profile. 3 days later I ask what is the status of my ticket. 3 days later I get a response that my mouse is in warranty replacement review and I need to wait 72 hours. I started this process on July 1st and it is now July 15th. Candace D at Logitech has been stringing me along now for 2 weeks. I am currently shopping for a new mouse and keyboard. I can tell you 100% it is not going to be Logitech. I will not be buying anything Logitech from this point on. Sorry Logitech, major fail. Candace D. has lost this long time customer.
