Product Information

Launcestonian Ryzen 7000 / AM5 Memory guide (DDR5 6000+ stability, slow boots, memory training etc) ( 14) There isn’t much stuff to say about it, that isn’t said somewhere online already. It is suited for right handed people and different hand sizes. For example small handed people will use it in palm grip, large handed people will be able to use it in claw or fingertip grip, however I use it as fingertip-palm hybrid and lots of people on Reddit seems to agree with me. I put the MX518 Legendary through its paces in a handful of first person shooters to test its accuracy in the heat of battle. I was also curious how much utility I could pull from remapping the DPI selection buttons. The first game I tested was Apex Legends. It’s become my go-to in-and-out shooter and the controls feel like second nature to me with my daily driver Logitech G Pro. 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.

Now, I’m not going to suggest that everyone should start using a mouse the way I do, because the traditional method is far more ergonomically sound. I know this for a fact since I suffered from a terrible bout of RSI induced tendonitis last year – a direct result of how I use a mouse. So now, I try to use a mouse like “normal” people when navigating Windows, but I still can’t change my ways when it comes to gaming. Corsair Virtuoso Pro review: 'an incredibly natural experience I'm yet to see replicated in another gaming headset' Driven by data, run by a passionate team of engineers, testers, technical writers, developers, and more. 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.Considering the numbers in which original models are sold, and that people are usually nostalgic Logitech decided to modernize hardware of MX518 and rerelease it as MX518 G Legendary.

My mouse went from scrolling just fine to nothing overnight. This helped a lot, but sadly its still not 100%. :( Codex: Tyranids 10th Edition review - "The wargame takes shape with terrifying Tyranid Detachments" There is a hope that over time of using it, it will become smoother as with original MX 518 scrolls did. One positive side is that this optical scroll is very reliable. Cable Since the controls are all on the crest of the mouse there are no switches or toggles on the bottom. Flipping the mouse over, all I found was three glide feet and a teflon ring around the optical sensor to allow the mouse to travel smoothly across multiple surfaces. In my testing, the mouse glided well on soft and hard mouse pads, as well as my finished wood desk.Fantastic!!! I've been really reluctant to replace my MX510 mouse -- your teardown of this one (which the internals appear to be identical anyway) was perfect!

From a gaming point of view, the 1600dpi sensor found in the MX518 will be a real draw for anyone wanting to improve their frag count. Now I didn’t realise just how clumsy the movement on my basic mouse was until I started using the MX518. Playing my game of choice, Counter Strike: Source, I found that I could zero in on targets from a distance far more easily. This was obviously due to the face that I could move my crosshair with greater sensitivity and ultimately grab more of those kudos enhancing headshots.

The programming is easy and the software is useful. 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 If you were a PC gamer between 2005 - 2010, there’s a good chance you’re already familiar with the original Logitech MX518 gaming mouse. To hear Logitech tell it, it’s one of their most popular mice ever, and after it was replaced in 2011, it became a product gamers have been clamoring for ever since. Logitech listened, and has updated and re-released this legendary model, appropriately dubbing it the Logitech G MX518 Legendary ( See it at Newegg / See it at Newegg UK). It features Logitech’s new HERO16K optical sensor and a fresh look atop the same design, but is that enough to bring this classic mouse up to speed for 2019? Let’s dig in and see what this re-release is all about. Logitech G MX518 Legendary – Design and Features It could be little bit lighter but I don’t feel it’s a heavy mouse. It has enough weight for precise movement, but not much to be annoying and it’s perfectly balanced. New vs Old Side buttons are better than in old MX 518, but their position is not perfect and some other mice have them more upward which seems to be better solution.

People who do 1-2-2 and 1-3-1 grips will be at home with the Logitech MX 518 G mouse. Still on the heavy side… Buttons
