Q: Is this the best mouse ever made?

A: Hello, as one of the most-beloved gaming mice ever, MX518 has inspired legions of fans around the world to ask Logitech G to bring it out of retirement. And we heard you. We pulled the original tools from the Vault and meticulously restored them—right down to the original glossy keyplate. It’s the classic, comfortable shape you know and love, now with modern components that perform to today’s advanced standards and a new, updated Nightfall color scheme.

Q: Hi, is this mouse compatible with a HP laptop with windows 10s? Also, does it require any software to install, or does it automatically work when I plug it into the device? Thank you.

A: Plug and play with windows 10. If you want to then later download software to edit the buttons and etc but nothing's required at first.

Q: Does the mx518 use the HERO sensor?

A: Yes, 16k DPI Hero Sensor

Q: Does it have side-scrolling?

A: Yes. There are two buttons on the left side with up/down arrow keys. On the browser they are used to go to previous/next page you visited. You could bind these to do other things - in my FPS game I use them for quick commands.

Q: Are the buttons programmable as the old one was? If so....what is the correct software to do so? Thank you! P.S, When will you make the MX700 wireless version????

A: Hi BROB, the MX518 Wired Gaming mouse still has the ability to program the 8 buttons on the mouse! You can do this within the free Logitech G Hub software. Hope that helps!

Q: Is this a USB mouse?

A: Yes. I have mine plugged into a USB port
