After 5 years ive retired my mx518

Dcully

Within these 5 years I tried other mice but none felt as good as the 518.
For a while now ive expected it to die on me and contemplated what ill get when it does happen.
Well finally its happened and ironically its called the final mouse.
Praised by many a pro cs,dota,lol player I never believed it to be as good as they say but wow it is just awesome.
Instantly it felt really close to the 518 in my hand but also instantly the increase accuracy and precision was hugely evident.
I'm not overly fond of the shoulder buttons but everything else is great, so similar to the 518 in the hand yet so much more accurate and precise.
No drivers just plug and play and raw performance.
Highly recommended for the many a 518 owner we have here on boards
Ive definitely noticed my aim in fps games to be improved after the switch.
Previous to that I also noted a big change in my aim when I moved to a 144hz gsync monitor.

I was the same....I had the Logitech Mx510 for years, then onto the Mx518.
The last 3 years I've been using the Logitech G5.
I had grown accustomed to the feel of that mouse (510/518) and it's shape in my hand, and the G5 is nearly the exact same...but better.

If you're upgrading, just go for the G5, you'll like it if you liked the 518. Trust me, I was exactly the same as you
You can see how similar they are, so it won't be a huge adjustment or step out of your comfort zone

We will hold a minutes silence in our Teamspeak tonight in honour of our fallen 510 & 518 comrades .

I took almost the same route as Sean ..... 510 , 518 , 518 ........ months of crying ........ G502 .

I would say I'm happy out with the 502 , but I'm also old now and gone from anything resembling twitch shooting . The odd bit of BF4 now and again but mainly Elite:Dangerous ............... now I worry about my Thrustmaster Hotas .

My 518 had been going for 7 years when I replaced it last year. I downgraded to something cheap, instantly regretted it. I bought a roccat kone the other week. Fabulous.

The G502 is on a lightening deal at the moment seem to be going quick. I picked one up to replace the 8 Euro Revoltek mouse I've had for about three years

Been using a G502 for a good while now. Best sensor ive ever used. Also the driver is really good at removing mouse acceleration. Not sure how that works but it does.

One thing to keep in mind though is its quite a small mouse,anyone who has large hands will not be able to use palm grip with it. Took quite awhile to adjust to it comimg from a G400,which happens to have been inspired by the MX518.

Do they still make the mx518?

If I went to e-bay, would the ones for sale likely to be hammered to s*it?
