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

Ive been re-buying this mouse for over 15 years. Ive tried my fair share of different and more complicated mice, always going back to this one.

I like it, along with many other Logitech items I use, but its not great. First, let me say I have rather small hands for a 6 ft. tall male, and sort of stubby fingers. That said, Ill have to say Ive had difficulty for a long time finding a mouse that works well for me. Best one I ever used was the CM Storm Xornet. LOVED it. It fit my hand perfectly. Trouble is, they dont make it anymore. Anyway, this mouse has a long protruding butt on it that turns the mouse counterclockwise in my grip, causing the left trigger to be too far to the left than I want. Result...my pointer finger always rests on the mouse wheel, and to left click, I have to stretch my stubby pointer finger over to reach the left trigger. This may not affect many people, but Im just giving my 2 cents here. Other than that, it has been great. Responsive, not too expensive, and the Logitech Hub software, which I personally dont need, works well with the device.

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.

There was a slight tear on the cable of the unit I got and it basically stopped working within an hour of use. The RMA process went smooth so far, but when the whole point was to get a dropin replacement for an original MX518 thats been going strong for 15 years, this was a disappointment.

They fit my hands perfectly, the perfect size at a perfect shape.

Compared to the G400s that I had previously, the coating felt garbage on the mx518 legendary and the mouse overall felt a lot cheaper compared to the G400s. The cable was too thin to use in my zowie bungie so that made it even more annoying.

I dont use it for games. Thats why I left the gaming star rating blank. I use it for AutoCAD and Creo parametric. The extra buttons come in handy. Also I find having to change out batteries more annoying than a chord. So this one is perfect for my needs. And it fits perfect in my hand. Never any fatigue or discomfort. Thanks!

Bought this to replace a logitech g602 whose middle button stopped working. The scrolling works but click does not. Had that mouse for a few years so oh well, things cant last forever i guess. Decided to order this mouse and was a great replacement at first. I dont need anything fancy at the moment, just needed a mouse with decent dpi and buttons that work. However, a little over a month later, the right mouse button starts double-clicking when i single-click. It is super annoying.. And no, i dont abuse my equipment

This mouse works well for everything

Comfortable mouse, exactly if you have a big palms.
