Logitech - G MX518 Wired Optical Gaming Mouse

Great mouse got even better with new sensor, great value. One thing left to ask for is bullet marks design like in classic I have used 11 years ago. If you have big hands like me you will love shape of this mouse.

Logitech improved upon a great series of gaming mice with the G MX518. Same classic shape which works well for larger hands and my preferred mouse grip style. The new Hero sensor is extremely accurate and doesn't skip. Rubber mouse cord unlike some other G models mice. But works really well and I might not even do a paracord mod. Top of G MX518 is smooth without any texture with rubberized sides to the body. I prefer this over G500/G5 finish and also it's much lighter than those mice. Logitech G MX518 > G500 > G5 > MX518

Just got the new G MX518. It looks and feels good. A bit shiny as the original 518 looks flat in comparison that I have had for a long time and is still up and running. Its been my favorite mouse so I decided to get this one as backup. Can't say much about durability yet but time will tell. Logitech warranty has been excellent in the past but notice this one comes with a one year warranty compared to some older mice that had a three year warranty. Overall it seems very similar in feel to the original and although I have not weighed both on a scale for comparison, the weight feels very similar to the original so I am pleased with the purchase. If you have used the original 518 and liked it like I do, then you will like this mouse too. Cheers!

This is a good mouse. They really improved the design over the original mostly with the internal components, the form factor and button placement is the same. obviously the HERO sensor is very quick and responsive, and beyond the high DPI it just "feels" like I have more control over my mouse (I usually only use 1600-4000dpi anyways). I am sure Logitech has done a lot more to improve the performance of the mouse that isn't shown in the specs. it certainly seems like it This is a big hand-filling mouse which I like. I wear Large size gloves and I think this mouse is the perfect size. I would imagine with smaller hands than mine it might not be as great. Favorite thing about Logitech mice is the plug and play with no software and you still get all the buttons functionality (with default settings) obviously you can fine tune it with the GHUB software too but its nice that you don't have to install it if you don't want to. Logitech always does better in this category than other brands in my experience. One thing I never liked about the original was the layout of the skate pads, there are 2 large ones at the front and back and one very small one on the left hand side. I felt that with the old version when I slid the mouse to the right it was not as smooth. But, I am happy to report that this mouse now has an additional skate that goes around the sensor itself and I think it makes a difference in how smooth it is. The one thing that I have mixed feelings about is the plastic material used for the outer shell and sides. it feels a little bit cheaper than other Logitech mice. That could just be me though. At least its not rubberized.

This was a staple mouse back in the day and now it's back, but with an upgraded sensor. The mouse itself is very lightweight and feels okay in the hand. It is meant for more of a claw-grip style, so if that's your preference, this might be good for you. I managed to get this on sale and while it is nostalgic, I have ended up just deciding to give this to my parents instead to replace my old backup mouse that has led lights that are unable to be disabled (seems it is an issue with the PC's motherboard and Windows 10). I prefer palm-style mice with a heavier feel (still rocking a Razer Deathadder and Logitech G502 with all the weights in). The MX518 mouse also doesn't have a braided cord, so the other two mice feel a little more premium in that respect. Overall, I still think this is a good mouse to buy.

Saw this on-sale for a terrific price. I had already read/watched multiple very positive reviews plus my original MX-518 was still going strong (and my all-time favorite mouse) so I jumped on one. The main thing that makes the 518 in general different than most of Logitech current game-oriented models is its shape. It's smooth and on the large side plus has dead-space on the sides to rest fingers or grab/lift the mouse without activating any buttons. The differences between this particular mouse and the original are as follows: 16k Hero sensor, very nice Omron switch's on all buttons and a shiny black finish. Also its slightly lighter. Bottom line if you liked the original you'll love the one even at full-price and if it goes on sale its a no-brainer.

This new G MX518 is a remake of the old, classic, MX500 series, first introduced in 2002, which was highly successful series of mice and regarded as one of the best series of mice of all time. The G MX518 is a very good mouse with many improvements from the original. Physically, this mouse is the same shape as the original model but what sets this mouse apart, is its use of Logitech's HERO 16K sensor. Physically, the mouse has great build quality and as far the buttons, it has 8 programmable buttons. Overall this is an excellent mouse and performs great in all aspects, from gaming to general usage. I highly recommend this mouse.

Had another brand gaming mouse with RGB led lighting but wanted a more comfortable mouse without the tacky lighting. Logitech G MX518 is such a mouse. Comfortable to hold in my hand with a natural thumb rest on the side and programmable buttons and switchable DPI settings to adjust sensitivity of the mouse. Should download the Logitech Gaming Center software to utilize the mouse to the fullest. Great buy, esp when it's on sale.
