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. 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. Software is very basic. Logitech G Hub allows you to reconfigure any button on the mouse or assign it macro commands. 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. Not surprisingly, the MX518 Legendary feels like a mouse from an earlier era. It eschews the sharp angles and straight lines found on mice like Logitech’s own G502, and instead opts for graceful curves and rounded edges. The left and right buttons blend seamlessly with the palm rest in a single glossy shell, and the rubber finish on the mouse wheel is smooth rather than grooved, which definitely feels old school. The DPI up and down buttons are placed above and below the mouse wheel, which is convenient and easier than having just one button to cycle through presets when you need to make an adjustment. There’s also a profile cycle button to switch between the mouse’s five onboard profiles.

Before I begin talking about the new MX 518 G, you should note that I own original MX 518 for 15 years and I also had 2x MX 510. This is also the reason I was so eager to get my hands on it.For the better understanding of strong and weak points of Logitech G MX 518 I divided this review in a couple of logical parts… Let’s begin. Size and Shape In the box you’ll find the MX518, along with a USB to PS/2 adapter and the software disc. It doesn’t sound like a lot, but it’s pretty much everything you need. Scroll wheel button is rough to press and impractical. You will hate to use scroll wheel button with this mouse. Sensor

Edit: Ok, "tired" was a bit too fast, I couldn't find the word I was looking for. I didn't really mean that sensors are tired, rather that mechanical/physical parts could be, for example in the way the mouse wheel is "held". It could be that the "steps" which are originally on the wheel, are not holding correctly, and any move is turning it, even a bit. It could also be that sensors have a problem, and are simply misplaced or too sensitive.The link to the support is here. However, it seems that their mail support is currently being moved, and is unavailable until the 21st of september. You can still call them, though. There are a number of reasons why I love the MX518, not least of which is its size. Not only do I have small hands as I already mentioned, but I also use a mouse very differently to most people. Whereas the majority of mouse users will hold the device in their hand and move it around from the shoulder, I rest the heel of my hand on the desktop and move the mouse with my thumb and ring finger. Using the mouse in this way means that it has to be small enough to move freely under my hand, while the sensitivity also has to be high as the range of movement is limited. Cable is just as I like it. Plain, simple, rubber cable. It is soft enough and does not provide any significant at least not annoying resistance. It’s thinner than on MX 518 from 2007. Mouse plastic is glossy with sides being matte rubberized plastic. Both things are upgrade from the old MX 518 metallic bubbly finish and smooth rubberized plastic side grips. Software The next game I tested was Battlefield V. I cut my teeth on the Battlefield series using an MMO mouse and still try to map as many skills to new mice as I can. Like Apex, aiming and navigating felt natural and accurate.

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 The mouse felt very natural in my hand. The contouring fit my hand well and I especially liked the support the mouse gave to my thumb. At five inches long and three inches wide, it felt great in both palm and claw grips, though it is 10-15mm larger than popular fingertip-style mice, like the Logitech G Pro, in length and width. Gamers who use a lighter touch may find the MX518 Legendary a tad too large, but at only 101 grams, it’s easy to use no matter which grip style you prefer. The Legendary is only five grams lighter than the original MX518 but compared to my 147g Corsair Scimitar MMO mouse, it feels downright airy. While it's not overburdened with a ton of excess features (that would've surely ballooned the price if not the weight and size of the unit), the MX518 does come with some thoughtful conveniences to streamline your experience. It's got onboard storage for up to five profiles, so if you're sharing it with other people who prefer different settings it's a cinch to switch between them, and it'll remember your preferences if you move to a different device.

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

It’s a good mouse with a lousy scroll wheel. If I would need to rate it on scale 1 to 5, I would give it four. Why? As a fan of original MX 518 I would like it to be better mouse. Main downside is the lousy scroll wheel, but side plastic should be better too. I mean that or you will need to clean it more intensively, or you will need to get a new one. Because it is most likely due to the mouse wheel sensors being dirty, or simply "tired".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 People used on ultralight mice will not be happy with it, however good thing is due the excellent balance it does not feel like a 100g mouse. 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. 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
