Digital camera reviews of Logitech MX 518 High Performance Optical Gaming Mouse (Metal)

Digital camera Review: BEST GAMING MOUSE EVER!!
Summary: 5 Stars

Fast shipping and I had a G5 that went out on me so i got this and I like the feel alot better.

Digital camera Review: BEWARE: MX518 is not Mac compatible!!!
Summary: 1 Stars

As a proud owner of the MX510 (which I love), I wanted to have the latest and greatest edition! I assumed that the MX518 would be Macintosh compatible, but alas it is not and I was sorely disappointed when I bought one! This is the first time I have heard of a Logitech mouse not working with the Mac. Message to Logitech: PLEASE FIX THIS so that Mac users like me can use the MX518! At the very least, PLEASE MARK THE BOX VERY CLEARLY THAT THIS IS NOT MACINTOSH COMPATIBLE.

Digital camera Review: BOOM!!! HEADSHOT!
Summary: 4 Stars

Alright, I got this mouse to replace the shoddy touchpad on my laptop. This thing is certainly worlds better than any touch pad, lol.

What made this mouse appeal to me over any other is that the traditional Logitech shape of it is very comfortable to me, the internet navigation buttons are very conventient, and the high resolution optics (that you can switch on the fly)- since I use my laptop for playing games.

I'm a fan of the G5 gaming mouse, and after using it for so long, I just can't go back to a normal resolution mouse without cringing. The MX518 provided a cost effective alternative over the G5, since I would be taking it around with me, it would matter less if it got broken in transit or solen. Also, the button layout on my laptop is different than my desktop keyboard, so I wanted both the forward and back internet navigation buttons.

My only gripes are mostly that this isn't a G5, lol. There's no DPI indicator, the on-the-fly resolution buttons aren't ergonomically placed (the forward one feels like it's a mile away when you try to press it), and as a user of wireless mice for so long, and a fully weighted G5, I like heavy mice... And the MX518 is just too light for me to really feel natural with it. I hate to say it because the mouse performs great, but it just feels cheap because of how light it is.

So, as a portable gaming mouse, I give this a 4. If you're looking for a cost effective gaming mouse, or something hi-res for graphics design, this is a good bet. But if you want to go all out, buy something higher end because you will be more satisfied with the higher end product.

Digital camera Review: Beautiful.
Summary: 5 Stars

I ordered this on the 31st and it came earlier today, 2 days before it was due. Very nice shipping by Amazon. I had a mouse with a ball before this, so I'm still getting used to the drastic change. It's much smoother. The only things which had me concerned about this mouse were that it looks somewhat big and it looked like the gray part was a baggy plastic covering which I feared would cause sweating. Both of the fears were just that, I was surprised to see that it was probably around 50% smaller than I expected it and the plastic covering is just a brilliant paint job. The buttons near the mousewheel, more specifically the one furthest back, can be a bit uncomfortable to use but other than that I have no problem with the mouse. Five stars!

Digital camera Review: Best FPS CSS mouse!!
Summary: 5 Stars

I am a css player (yes i am also a cal-im baddie). Owned many mice include the razer daimondback, ms intelli 1.1a, razer deathadder, and logitech g5, and the steelseries ikari optical. All of the above are great mice for css. But the fact I would like to point out is that the mx518 beats out all of them. My previous mouse was the deathadder, liked it a lot had it for a couple of yrs. Never tried the mx518 even though it came out for a while now. Now that i got it, love it even more. Threw my deathadder aside and this became my baby!!
