 double-clickNov 14, 2009
overall a good product. My only disatisfaction, which as a gamer, is a dealbreaker for me, is the inability to assign double-click to the left mouse button. Too bad considering it can easily be fixed with a software patch. Other than that serious limitation, it is a great product.
Good Gaming MouseNov 07, 2009
I love the MX 518 gaming mouse from Logitech. The only reason why I did not give it a 5 star overall rating is that this is now the third one I have had to buy. The mouse seems to just "die" and stop working after a year of use. The first one I "killed" worked wonderfully until the main Left and Right buttons stopped working after about 13 months of use. My second one, the optical tracker stopped functioning after 11 months of use. So, enjoy this mouse, but expect for it to "die" on you.
 My favorite form factor.Nov 04, 2009
This mouse has the classic MX 5XX form factor that's so comfortable to the hand with 8 total buttons placed in excellent locations. In a definite improvement over the old MX 500 model, the 518's "feet" (sliding surfaces) are hard plastic and large enough to not easily wear away. For me, this 518 was replacing a well-loved old 500 that my son had peeled away the decals that made up it's "feet." It's one of the few changes and one of the only ones that needed to be made. Fantastic mouse.
Great Gaming MouseNov 01, 2009
This mouse has the extra side buttons that work great for gaming and excellent response for a better price than most gaming mice.
A great mouse!Oct 25, 2009
I had been looking for a new gaming mouse and I read thousands of reviews online. I LOVE Logitech products so I knew I wanted to stick with a Logitech mouse. I had it narrowed down to the MX518 and the G500. I chose the MX518 because it was on sale but I'm glad I did! I'm not disappointed at all. It is taking some getting used to because it is quite speedy. I have been fiddling around with the settings to find the best set-up for normal computer use and for use in games. I'm sure I'll find the perfect settings after playing around with them a little more.
The mouse comes with the Setpoint software which I highly recommend. The version shipped with the mouse is older so go to the Logitech web site and download the most recent version instead. Windows XP, Vista and 7 versions are all available in 32 and 64 bit. Setpoint lets you change dozens of features on the mouse so you can find the perfect combination.
I also like the way the mouse feels in my hand. After a few hours of gaming, the mouse is still comfortable. The black colored portion of the mouse is some sort of rubber with a nice feel to it. The rubber makes gripping the mouse very easy and it won't fly out of your hand if your hands are sweaty.
My only complaint is a very minor one. I'm not a huge fan of the silver portion of the mouse, strictly on an appearance basis. The silver part would have looked much better if it was smooth and didn't have that 'dented' look. I know it's VERY minor and a matter of personal taste so I was almost hesitant to mention it. I decided to mention it because it's the only reason I didn't give this mouse a 5 star rating.
Overall, it's a fantastic mouse. Once again, Logitech has created a winner in the field of gaming mice.
