Logitech G MX518 Gaming Mouse Hero Sensor 16, 000 Dpi Arm Processor 8 Programmable Buttons (European Packaging) - Black

I do not need a gaming quality mouse, but was looking for one that has good accuracy, isnt too expensive, and is a good size. I have long fingers and cheaper mice all seem to be smaller, my hand engulfs them. This is the slightly larger size I wanted, it works well, and the price was decent; so happy with it so far. My only gripe is the scroll wheel is noisy. It works fine, so Im sure Ill get used to it; and definitely not a reason to avoid the mouse, it just stands out to me when Im scrolling through something long.

I have bought 2 of these, i use one at work, one at home. Home consists of gaming primarily, and at work i use several spreadsheets throughout the day, the buttons to control mouse speed are very handy as well as using the thumb buttons to go back or forward on websites is very handy.

It will not work with a KVM switch like to ones we bought years ago cheaper and seems to work good on a single direct connection but useless for someone using a KVM switch, Old ones worked fine this doesnt

My old MX518 became victim of the infamous loose cable disease [which Im trying to fix because its one of best mouses (mices?) out there in the wild]. I decided to give this newer version a try but was skeptical of its quality due to the low low price point. Ive been using it moderately for close to a year now. At first it felt pretty much like its predecessor but over time its beginning to feel cheap, especially the scroll wheel. Its fine, though, for the price. I wish the original mice from that era that are out of print (MX518, G400, G9) werent so darn expensive *sad face*

I can’t come close to guessing how many mice I’ve used in 30+ years of computing. Up until 2007, I used whatever mouse came with the PC’s we had at home and work. By 2007, we needed (I wanted) a second PC. My wife and daughter were happy with their Dell desktop and HP laptop, so I built a desktop for me, choosing an Eclipse II lighted keyboard and MX 518 mouse. I loved that keyboard and mouse. I did some upgrades over the years, but in 2013 a surge fried the MB, and I did a complete rebuild. I continued to use the Eclipse keyboard, but the 518 was getting a bit hit & miss by then. I replaced the original 518 with a G400s, but that was a piece of junk and didn’t last long. I got my 518 out of storage, took it apart, cleaned it as best I could, and got a couple more years out of it. After a rebuild in late 2019, I retired my original 518. After being disappointed with an inexpensive Redragon mouse and a $60+ Corsair M65 mouse, whose left button didn’t last a year, I ordered a new MX 518. I wish Logitech had brought back the silver, dented look of the old one, but the shape has always been perfect mouse for my hand. As to the Eclipse II keyboard, I finally retired it after 11 years in favor of a Redragon K556 brown switch. No regrets. I love the K556 even more than the Eclipse.

Comfortable mouse, exactly if you have a big palms.

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

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.

Excellent. Used in a CPA firm

Generally good. But the scroll wheel is not very accurate.
