    Good mouse overall but it feels much more light cheap and plasticky than the original. The original had a bit of weight to it and felt solid. This feels light and hollow.

    The mouse feels comfortable in your hands. I like the ability to easily assign the extra buttons. Would definitely recommend!!

    all time favorite. I used my previous version for 15 years. I replaced with the newer version just to refresh. Love it!

    I purchased this to replace an original MX518 that I had for years. Overall this new version only looks like the original. The new version feels cheap and slippery. It doesnt slide smoothly over the same desktop and the roller wheel is noisy.

    Used this shape with the g400 and g400s, tried a few other mice after like the g303 g305 g402 g603 rival 300.. but nothing is even close to as comfortable as this mx518/g400 shape for full palm grip. Compared to the old g400s model, this new model is definitely lighter and the top is a glossy coating. Also a slightly better more flexible cable. It does not have that slightly rubberized plastic coating of the g400s which is a plus or a negative depending on your preference but it does wear off eventually on the old model, so this new version should last a lot longer. Also the sensor LOD is wayyyy lower now so it stops tracking as soon as you lift it, unlike the old model with its red optical sensor that could track when lifted causing spinouts. All the clicks feel much better/newer especially on the top 3 dpi adjust buttons, they are more clicky and reliable feeling than the old version, which stopped working for me To me the only way this can be improved is with a wireless version, please make it happen logitech

    This isnt 100% a copy of the old MX-518, though if it was I probably still would have rated it 4 stars or higher. Instead this one is updated a bit so its probably cheaper to produce and more reliable. Previously I had to resort to the G400s to come close to the greatness of this mouse, and it worked OK, though I found the sensor on that mouse to be extremely flawed. With some sensors (and maybe even with the OLD 518) if the mouse pad or surface you used it on had a repeating pattern, the mouse could get confused about where it was moving and would become jittery, sometimes even when the mouse was perfectly still. I have yet to see that happen yet on this mouse which is great since my default mouse surface has a very regular pattern to it. The G400s also had a bright red light shining from the sensor but the MX-518 uses infrared instead so it doesnt shine a dot on the wall if you hold it up or turn it upside-down. Everything else about this mouse is pretty much the same as far as I can tell without opening it up to look. The shape, color, texture, position of the buttons, type of buttons/mouse wheel... all of it feels very familiar and comfortable to me. If you like the G400s or liked the old MX-518 you may want to look at this mouse next time you need a new one. One flaw of the old MX-518 that hasnt shown up was that the sensor used prediction when the mouse was moving very quickly. This meant that during a game session if you needed to 360º noscope someone, and you turned the mouse really fast, it would take the last direction it moved and lock it into a flat/straight line until you stopped or slowed down. You could see this in action by opening a drawing program and trying to draw a curved line really fast. At some point the curve would stop and it would lock into a perfectly straight line as the prediction kicked in. As I said though, from my preliminary tests with this mouse, it doesnt seem to be present, or maybe it is but just needs ungodly amounts of speed to show up (like moving the mouse so fast it would fly off the table and hit a wall). In any case, for how inexpensive it is, this is a good mouse, now even better for gaming than before.

    This reminds me of the original and it helped resolve some lingering issues I had with my old mouse. Great purchase!

    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
