Logitech G MX518 Gaming Mouse

This mouse has a very good build quality, its around 100g which is great for me, but might seem heavy to others. The Hero sensor is by far the most precise ive ever had. No acceleration, no angle snapping perfect for gaming. Your either going to love the shape of this mouse and the ergonomics, or your going to hate it, no middle ground really. Its a great palm/fingertip/hybrid grip mouse, but most people are probably going to want to palm grip this mouse. Glides great across surfaces. One down side may be the right side finger rest is kinda in a bad spot, but i fingertip grip this mouse so its not that much of an issue. Hope this helps someone!

its pretty much identical feeling to a G400s. Coming from that it feels the same. Within an hour I had forgotten I had a new mouse and I was just using it. I wish the anti-sweat coating from the G400s was still there, but if youre coming from an MX518 or G400, those didnt have it either. The soft touch coating feels the same as the one on the G400s, which started to come off after over 6 years of use. So I think the new MX518 might have that happen, but thats at least 6 years off if not more, and thats a long time. In conclusion, its nearly identical to the G400s I used before, and it is absolutely a worthy successor to this long line of mice. BUY IT!

Very good for gaming.

I replaced my old (and original) MX518 mouse with this re-released version. In size grip and feel they are exactly identical, I couldnt recommend this mouse highly enough. However, compared to the original the cord they used this time is much thinner. I cant imagine this is for any reason other than lowering its lifespan so people cant go on using the same mouse for ten years. I wouldnt be surprised if other parts on this are inferior to the original.

Who would have ever thought that after Logitech released the original MX518 back in 2005, there would be no other mouse like it?! The original MX518 has changed the PC gaming world by setting the standard of what a gaming mouse should be. I still have the original MX518 as well as the MX518se (2nd edition). Although Logitech have replaced the mouse over the years, none of them could ever match up to the standard of the MX518 until the release of the G MX518. The Logitech G MX518 has taken the standards set by the original MX518 and raised them to new heights! With the classic design and feel, along with a modern 16,000 dpi optical gaming sensor and a 32-bit ARM processor, this mouse has taken the crown as the new king of gaming mice of all time!!! Much credit to Logitech for listening to the PC gaming community and taking heed to rebirth a true legend!!!

My husband has had this same model mouse for many years. When his old mouse started to break down, he searched for a replacement, trying everything from a very cheap mouse to a very VERY expensive gaming mouse. None of them were quite what he wanted. Finally, we found this same model on Amazon, and immediately ordered it! Hes thrilled, and Im considering ordering another one (or more!) as a backup, just in case this model has been discontinued when he needs another one. Its hard to find a mouse that fits just right, and this one is perfect for him. From other reviews, I see that this particular mouse is a well-loved model, and its not just my husband who thinks its perfect!

Ive been a Logitech fan for years now since I first started PC gaming. I wont lie I havent really tried anything else outside of Logitech but I do own just about every main mice in their gaming lineup. The G403, G502, G Pro, G302 and G300s. I always wanted to try the MX518 for its shape but never had the chance until now. I have to say this is arguably the most comfortable mouse Iv ever used. The shape feels similar to the G502 but it gets rid of the non essentials on that mouse and is much lighter. I very much like the old school look and the gloss finish is gorgeous and feels good to grip. Iv played FPS games almost exclusively my entire life. Battlefield, Overwatch, CS:GO, Titanfall, and now I mostly focus on Quake Champions and Apex Legends. The sensor is perfect in every way, thats not really surprising though since it is Logitech after all. The ergonomics are more suitable for medium to large hands, its definitely a THICC mouse and 100 grams isnt exactly the ideal for FPS but I dont mind it at all since the shape makes up for that. I had no issues adjusting from the 89g G pro going to this. Honestly this is probably going to be my main mouse from now on till I find a better shape but that probably wont happen. PROS - Amazing shape for medium to large hands (palm grip) - Solid construction in good ol Logitech fashion - Gorgeous aesthetics and finish (I dont care for Lamborghini flares or RGB) - Best sensor on the market - No braided cable (I cant stand brained cable. Theyre stiff, catch on everything and fray) - Logitech customer support (they have been amazing in the past) CONS - 100g is not ideal would have like to seen it around 90g - New Logitech G Hub software is not good, I much preferred old software - Doesnt give me Shroud aim

I dont usually write reviews, but this was one I had to write. Sad that my mx518 that I bought in 05 when I was a kid started to die in 2016 or so I went to the G401 as it was the mx predecessor. And thats when I took a long break from gaming. When I came back I started to get used to the G401 and wanted to see how much my old mice was. When I looked it up, to my surprise I saw that they re-released my favorite mouse! And damn its exactly the same, but better sensors and better drivers. You can program every button (unlike before). Im almost tempted right now to buy another just in case something happens with the one I just bought... If youre looking for a comfy mouse for gaming, I would suggest this and not look back.

There is a reason why these where brought back, and NOS ones in the years they where not made went for 1,000USD. Simply the perfect mouse.

Aug 10 2021 Edit: I am updating my review after a year and a half of using the mouse, And I must give it 5 stars for consistency without material loss (comparing a different mouse I was using beforehand). This mouse is a beast, fit perfectly for small hand, comfortable and reliable. I guess I wouldnt be switching Logitech with any other, tried it before and got disappointed. This is a perfect mouse - highly recommended! ---- First review: Using this mouse for a couple of months now. Ill go right into it: Pros *Perfect ergonomic (for my hand) *Programmable buttons *Manual DPI adjusting via a software - works well *Simple and beautiful design (A matter of taste really) Cons *The cable feels cheap, doesnt looks like itll last long *The materials doesnt feel top notch like another mouse I had from a different company. Overall: 4 out of 5 Sum: I wish they would use a better cable and a higher quality plastics. But even with that its an amazing mouse, fit perfectly for small/medium hands, accurate for gaming, great software, works flawlessly.
