Customers are positive about the G MX518 Wired Optical Gaming Mouse's comfortable shape, upgraded sensor, and excellent price-to-performance ratio. Many appreciate its classic design and accuracy, while some find the scroll wheel noisy and the weight a bit heavy. A few users reported issues with the cable and overall functionality. The DPI adjustability is also a frequently praised feature.

    To our surprise, this mouse won’t work if it’s plugged in keyboard’s usb interfaces. It works when it’s connected directly to the PC. For our desktop PC, that’s not acceptable. Returned it because of that.

    Product arrived slightly damaged. Looks like a manufacturing error, not an issue with shipping/handling. Other than that it looks like it would work fine.

    The build quality of the mouse is solid. I found the shape is a little too narrow and I didn't feel very comfortable so eventually returned it.

      Hello theoldschool! Sorry to hear the MX518 Wired Optical Mouse wasn't what you were hoping for. It does bring back the same shape the G5 Laser Mouse had, but it's really designed to replicate the previous MX518 mouse. All in all, it's a bit lighter than its predecessor, it has the updated HERO 16K Sensor with DPI settings that can be switched on the fly, and also includes on-board memory allowing you to store up to 5 different profiles on the mouse. Hopefully those updates will be worth for you to check out! - Mathieu from Logitech

      Hi DBMom, I'm sorry that the G MX518 mouse had some lag issue. I hope you installed Logitech's G Hub software and changed the settings on the mouse. There you can adjust the DPI as well as program the buttons on the mouse. This can help with perceived lag issues from the out of box experience. I understand that you have already returned the mouse, I hope that the new mouse you purchased is working out great for you! Thank you for being a Logitech customer. If you have other questions about Logitech products please visit us at support.logi.com

      Hello Mikey! Sorry to hear you're having issues with your MX518 Wired Optical Gaming Mouse. If you haven't done so already, make sure to download the free G Hub Software https://support.logi.com/hc/en-us/articles/360025298133 that will allow you to update the firmware of your mouse (and correct any potential problems with it), allow you to customize your features to your liking, and save profiles on the on-board memory as well. If the software doesn't help, try different USB ports on your computer (make sure the mouse isn't plugged in a USB Hub) in case one might be faulty. And if that still doesn't solve it, know that the MX518 mouse has a 2-year warranty from Logitech, so click the Support link on the product page https://www.logitechg.com/en-us/products/gaming-mice/mx518-gaming-mouse.910-005542.html where it says "Support" should you need to. - Mathieu from Logitech
