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

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.

Excellent. Used in a CPA firm

There is no way to lock the wheel to spin freely; looks like one that does it with all the buttons by the wheel but it doesnt.

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

Was excited to upgrade my daily. Went to plug in and its literally DOA. Not recognized by windows or mac, not in device manager, etc. Tried all the software etc. Not recognized at ALL, not in device manager, no sound, nothing... Upon further investigation, as shown in another review, this is a counterfit. Box SN is covered up by random sticker. Original sticker shows a different serial number than on the mouse. Could not be more upset. BUYER BEWARE!!! Too good to be true.

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.

Pro: Nostalgia. Con: Unlike its original debut, MX518 is no longer a winner in ergonomic since all the mice ranging from $10 to $100 follow similar design. The new MX518 is true to its original design where scrolling wheel only has the clicky mode. I really wanted the switch between clicky and smooth/silent mode on the wheel cause the scrolling on this MX518 makes such loud noise. Overall impression: I would probably go back to a later version of logitech mouse or even a $20 cheap brand one, for the added functionalities. Unless you are an older generation of gamer looking for that old feeling, this mouse is not the best choice for the price.

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.

Very comfortable and the weight feels nice and balanced to move around.

Mouse button 1 & Mouse button 2 are very loose it sounds like a spring when you click them and i have missclicks in games all the time and the annoying prong sounds from the loose buttons the mouse feet are used you can see the marks on them very pathetic & poor seller that seems fine with taking used products and reselling it as new very unsatisfied with my purchase and i will put this seller Green St. Sales as under those that you shouldnt buy from probably a save the planet used products as new
