Logitech G MX518 Gaming Mouse

Its overall pretty nice. Although for how much this thing costs it feels pretty flimsy. The buttons also just stick anything onto it and can get dirty easily, nothing like any mouse Ive ever used. It feels a bit awkward for my ring finger like it has nowhere to go but I ended up clawing the thing the whole time anyways. I always use the middle mouse button to open and close links/tabs and the button started to give away and make a crunched plastic sound but it did go away somehow which was cool... If this product costs maybe half what it is then Id definitely recommend and give 5 stars but it does have some flaws. It performs nicely though its just the flaws really stick to my mind.

This mouse is not identical to the original MX518. Lets get that out of the way first. Its a little bit lighter in weight, and some people complain about the cord not being braided or something. Are these deal killers? Not for me. If your MX518 is wearing out and you want a modern replacement, go ahead, try a half-dozen other mice to see if they fit your hand. I did. And I came back to the G MX518 because I like the ergonomics so much. The upgraded sensor is just icing on the cake. I like the new paintjob, too. No problems in several months daily use for surfing and gaming. Recommended.

Not like the original but still a good mouse. Its lighter and doesnt come with the grip on the inside of the mouse. Also feels a bit smaller, but not by much. As other reviewers have mentioned, it does feel more plastic-y than the original. Still keeping it but a little disappointed.

I owned several of the original MX 518 gaming mice, the grey version that had simulated dents in it and the red version. This was by far the best gaming mouse Ive ever used and this version of it brings back memories. Now its new and improved with the HERO sensor and i love it!!

Been a big fan of the Logitech M510s for the ergonomics this is very similar but hardwired so no worries about batteries or where the dongle is, which is better for my gaming desktop. This largely met my expectations. Unlike the 510 scroll wheel is stiff and makes noise and lacks side to side function. Usable but coming from Logitech M510 my expectations where higher.

Other reviews are accurate. This isnt the same as the old mx mouses. It just doesnt feel solid like before. Minor squeaks, and a little stick in the scroll..

My husband is a huge techie and gamer, and this mouse is the one that hes been using for years. This mouse is very hard to destroy. The padding on the bottom will wear out WELL before this mouse does. Im not really a mouse user and I usually utilize either my stylus pen or my PlayStation 4 controller to do stuff for long periods of time in the computer. I dont have the most ergonomic setup and so using a mouse really hurts my wrist. When my husband gave me his old spare, basically a lesser quality Mouse than this one but basically the same design and company, it felt like smooth milk under my hands encasing an egg. I know that doesnt really make sense but, thats what I feel. That Mouse recently died after about a decade of heavy usage (searing hot wire especially at the base) and I got this one and since Ive been using it, I feel like I am able to browse with it for hours before I start feeling any strain in my arm. For a period of time I was using another cheap mouse and after about 15 minutes of usage, my wrist started getting pins and needles in it. Oh my gosh, it was awful. And I ordered this right away when my husband told me to get it as a replacement. After resting my arm, I was still nervous that I would start to get pins and needles but after using this mouse... NOTHING! It really doesnt matter what quality Mouse you use for your computer. As I said, I dont have the most ergonomic setup. The table I sit in front of is a little tiny bit higher than what it should be for my hand when Im resting my elbow on the arm of my office chair. However this mouse feels so good but I can still go hours just using it without the controller, in total comfort. As I also said before, my husband is a major techie and gamer (he builds and repairs computers and games/browses for HOURS on his computer and this is the only mouse he swears by. He bought several and he only ever sticks with one thing if it works, like me ^^

This mouse has been a curse/blessing. The curse being its hard to find a mouse I can comfortable grip like this one. Blessing because its just so comfortable and my aiming performance is best with this shape. This was my first mouse back when I was 11 years old playing Delta force land warrior up until Call of Duty 1. Once it broke I tried several other mice with the razer naga being the only one that really supported my grip. I was overjoyed to see Logitech re-released this mouse, and boy does it deserve its legendary title. The only negative is that is does creek a little if I put enough pressure on it. Otherwise performance is exactly what youd expect from a hero sensor, no spins outs whatsoever. Gaming mice really have come such a long way.

The feel is great, the laser sensor is so much better than the optical sensor that would freak out whenever running over a small hair or something, so pretty much its the same as the 3 other mice of this shape that Ive been using for the past 19 years. My dislikes: Gotta change the software, I was using Logitech Gaming Software for a long time and it worked with this, but I had to unplug and replug it every time for it to remember the bindings. So I had to get the G Hub for that to work, so far its fine, but it didnt really import all my settings. Other than that the slick gloss feel is a bit weird to get used to... might have made my hand feel a bit sweaty, but it might have just been the summer. Ive owned the G700s and the G502 and neither of them are as good as this mouse.

I bought the OG MX518 back in I think 2006 and have had it ever since. The mouse was definitely seen better days as the wheel was starting to get crap in it and the buttons werent clicking as well. I dont know why I didnt upgrade sooner because this mouse is amazing brand new! So happy to have a new one. Heres to another 16 years!
