Logitech MX 518

Logitech MX 518

Logitech is a very big manufacturer of computer hardware, and this is a member of their range of gaming mice (normally I prefer their gaming giraffes). At about 50 US$ it is fairly cheap for a gaming mouse, so the question is if it lacks performance.

Comfort: the Logitech MX518 is quite conventionally shaped. It fits nicely into the palm of your hand. All the buttons are within reach. This is not a cordless mouse, which I consider a positive thing, since I don’t have to change batteries constantly and it is marginally faster.

For gaming use:

As a gaming mouse this does a good job. It has 2 buttons which let you adjust the resolution of the mouse easily to fit your need. The response is quick and the mouse is pretty accurate with a resolution of up to 1600dpi. I would definitely recommend this as a relatively cheap gaming mouse.

For office use:

This mouse is also very good for office tasks, surfing the internet and the occasional cooking. It has 5 programmable buttons and a programmable scroll wheel, which is extremely practical for just about any task you perform often.

Conclusion:

The Logitech MX518 is a remarkable mouse. Good for gaming, cheap, unbreakable, without annoying batteries to change, and stuffed with programmable buttons to make your life easier. Unless you’re a quite serious PC gamer, I can’t see what else you would ever want, except perhaps a way to cure cancer. But that will have to wait.
