The Logitech MX-518 is a mouse designed for gaming. It is the successor of the Logitech MX-510, though it is argued there is little difference, or preference to the MX-510. Logitech claims it can enhance precision and improve comfort during gaming; it is generally regarded as a good mouse to use while gaming, with positive reviews. It has become popular due to its ergonomics, affordability and, after an update, reliability; characteristics which make it appeal to both beginner and experienced gamers.
[edit] Features
The MX-518 is known for its ergonomic design, on-the-fly DPI changing, 7 programmable buttons and 1 scroll wheel that also doubles as an additional button. A prominent feature of the MX-518 mouse is its aesthetic appeal; Logitech used a holographic image on the mouse, making it appear dented.
There are two versions of the mouse; the more recent release with 1800 DPI and the otherwise nearly identical, 1600 DPI model. It is not difficult to separate the two, as the newer model features a different feet layout with three feet instead of five, its holographic effect appears "shallower" compared to the original and it has a black plastic bottom instead of a smoked see-through plastic.
[edit] Faulty Mice
There have been a number of reports where several gamers' MX-518 mice stopped functioning after a few months of use. Common defects were the mice constantly froze, and the mouse's USB device appeared to unplug itself from the PC according to the Windows device manager. Logitech responded to these complaints by releasing an updated version of the mouse, with an revised adaptation of the previous sensor, the Avago ADNS-3080. The newer sensor is now referred to as the Avago ADNS-3080E.
