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

As most, Ive gone through some Mice (mouses?? :) and this is my 2nd favorite behind only the G9. (**See Update At Bottom**) I have a variety of wireless/corded mice and this is the one I prefer after years of using a G9 which finally gave up the ghost .. and last time I priced them I bout passed out. So, great all around mouse for gaming/office/editing or whatever you can think of to use a mouse for. #TwoThumbsUp (ummm See Below) UPDATE! Are these refurbs?? **** Mouse went completely bonkers after less than one month. #argh So I just ordered another one and am counting on my experience with the initial purchase being an anomalous fluke. We shall soon see. :( I will try to keep this review as current as possible as I hope my first failure was just bad luck of the draw.

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.

This mouse is exactly what I paid for, great quality, I love the way it molds to your hand, and overall is easy to handle.

I still have an original mx518 that I still use. The pictures with the new and original one. The laser looks different and the newer version is 3.6 oz, 0.3 oz lighter than the original. Feels comfortable enough, got this for $20 on Black Friday from BB

Feels like my old workhorse except the left and right click are louder and require a little more effort to depress. Maybe harder switches? Either way happy as an old mx518 replacement.

i bought it because the dog of my friend made a vase fall on my original MX 518 . i bought a G Pro but i liked my original MX 518 better ( better grip and overall use).So that is why i bought this remake.It is a very good mouse but i like the original MX518 more.This remake feels different( read for me less good). Nevertheless in my opinion one of the best mice you can buy nowadays

I bought this specific mouse two years ago at Best Buy and have had its predecessor for probably a decade to be honest... They both have been so good that I just had to buy another one for my office at work. No mouse fits better in my hand and just works like how you would want a mouse to work. The simple adjustable DPI buttons save me so much time and just simply work. If you havent already tried this mouse, do it asap!

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.

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.

I first bought an MX518 when they first came out 15(?) or so years ago. I have owned 2 or 3 over the years. It is simply the best mouse ever made. They even discontinued it at one point and people were selling used ones on ebay for $200. Its the IBM Model M (keyboard) of mice. Absolute classic. Recommended to many people and all loved it.
