Logitech MX518 Optical Gaming Mouse

Product Information

Passionate about mice? We're growing and looking to hire a full-time Staff Writers to work on mice and other computer products remote, or at our lab in Montreal. I suggested more intensive cleaning, but I doubt it will be enough. To me, it's likely that you will have to get a new one (sent by Logitech support or not). But it's not something you can really fix by changing drivers or else.

Cable is just as I like it. Plain, simple, rubber cable. It is soft enough and does not provide any significant at least not annoying resistance. It’s thinner than on MX 518 from 2007.

People used on ultralight mice will not be happy with it, however good thing is due the excellent balance it does not feel like a 100g mouse. Before I begin talking about the new MX 518 G, you should note that I own original MX 518 for 15 years and I also had 2x MX 510. This is also the reason I was so eager to get my hands on it. I mean that or you will need to clean it more intensively, or you will need to get a new one. Because it is most likely due to the mouse wheel sensors being dirty, or simply "tired". But the MX518 isn’t just about ultimate sensitivity, it’s also about flexibility. Using the bundled Logitech application, you can pre-program five different sensitivity settings and switch between them at the touch of a button, while you’re playing your game. Located just above and below the scroll wheel are plus and minus buttons – these will switch up and down between your customised sensitivity settings. With this in game adjustment, you can work out what the best sensitivity is for each weapon in your arsenal, giving you that extra edge.

I was able to create profiles for each of the games I tested, though the automatic profile switching did glitch out once or twice and fail to switch. Logitech G MX518 Legendary – Gaming My mouse went from scrolling just fine to nothing overnight. This helped a lot, but sadly its still not 100%. :(If you’ve used a Logitech G peripheral in the last year, you’ll feel right at home programming the MX518 Legendary. Inside G Hub, you can remap any of the mouse’s eight buttons, assign macros and Windows shortcuts, and adjust your DPI settings. Thanks to a modest amount of onboard memory, your settings can be saved to any of the mouse’s five profiles and changed on-the-fly. You’re also able to set G Hub to automatically swap profiles as you launch different games, which is a handy feature to make sure your custom mappings are always ready, and frees up the profile button to be remapped to another function. Feet are exactly same as on the original MX 518. Material is PTFE. Out of the box these are smooth and you will not need replacement, however judging by the experience with old MX 518 these will fail after 3-5 years and you will either replace them with better after market solution or simply continue without them. Software is very basic. Logitech G Hub allows you to reconfigure any button on the mouse or assign it macro commands. Steps can be configured in the range of 100 till 16000 CPI with the precision of 50 CPI. Polling rate is by default 1000 Hz but it can be adjusted to any of the following: 125 Hz, 250 Hz, 500 Hz and 1000 Hz. It’s a good mouse with a lousy scroll wheel. If I would need to rate it on scale 1 to 5, I would give it four. Why? As a fan of original MX 518 I would like it to be better mouse. Main downside is the lousy scroll wheel, but side plastic should be better too.
