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

Does not need any installed software to work, it works right out of the box on Mac, Windows, and Linux (I use it for all three). No issues at all, though if you accidentally click the DPI buttons it can take a minute to get your cursor speed fixed again. Overally this is a really good mouse. I was skeptical because it seems they do not sell this model directly to the USA for some reason, so you have to buy it from a third party vendor who re-imports it from overseas (??? not sure how this works), but the mouse is legit. The only thing I do miss is the option for a free-spinning scroll wheel like in the MX500 series, but I have gotten by just fine so far without it.

Works well, fits your hand well

what can i say its a 518

I just wanted to preface this by saying Ive been using Logitech mice most of my life, starting with multiple MX510 and an MX518. I was excited to hear that they relaunched the MX518 and ordered it immediately upon finding out. I was pretty disappointed to say the least when I actually started using it. It had the familiar grip and weight but the sensor is just straight awful. I can barely lift the mouse off the mousepad without the cursor going haywire. My 12 year old MX510 is still way more accurate than whatever this is. Feels like they just repackaged a garbage mouse as the MX518 in name only. Disappointed.

The feel of this mouse vs the original ones in the line is very disappointing. It is the right shape and seems to work fine but the plastic is cheap, the scroll wheel is flimsy, even the cord feels cheap vs the older ones. I would not buy it again.

My favorite mouse growing up, still one of my favorite mice!

I have been using an MX518 for several years. My previous one served me well for a very long time, but had finally started to wear out. Happy with its performance, I ordered what looked to be an identical model. I was not entirely happy with the build quality. Although it has the same model designation, this mouse is clearly made with cheaper materials than my last one. Everything from the thickness of the cord to the weight of the mouse itself is nowhere near what the previous unit was. I am the type of person that once I find something I like, I will continue to buy the same thing again and again. Although the replacement mouse has functioned fine thus far, given the changes in build quality I will likely not automatically purchase the same unit in the future.

Works better than some of the expensive ones that I’ve purchased. This is a time-tested reliable mouse great for gaming

Ive been using an MX518 gaming mouse for around 15 years and have loved it. I had to replace it once during that interval but was able to get the same exact model. I recently bought another one for a second computer thinking that it would be the same as the old model other than some minor cosmetic changes. As soon as I got the mouse I could tell that it was a cheap knockoff of the old model. The old model feels nice and solid in your hand, whereas the new one feels like plastic garbage. The new one also makes a slight rattling noise when you pick it up and place it down, whereas the old one did not. I dont necessarily have any complaints about the function or performance of the new model, but the feel is terrible by comparison.

I have been a fan of this mouse since it was new. For a wired laser mouse this is everything most people will need. Unless you need a macro mouse with 50 keys on it this will suffice for both office use and most gaming needs and last a long time doing it. The weight of the mouse is nice, enough heft to feel stable and keep you accurate when gaming. With several buttons, scroll click and even scroll side to side I have no issues with mapping all my needs on every game I play. Good deal at full price, even better when on sale.
