I suggested more intensive cleaning, but I doubt it will be enough. To me, it's likely that you will have to get a new one (sent by Logitech support or not). But it's not something you can really fix by changing drivers or else. 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 Launcestonian Ryzen 7000 / AM5 Memory guide (DDR5 6000+ stability, slow boots, memory training etc) ( 14) If you’ve ever used the original Logitech G MX518 then you have a good idea what to expect here. In my product briefing before this review, Logitech shared that they dusted off many of the same tools for the manufacturing process as they did when it was originally made. As a result, the mouse is shaped exactly the same and feels extremely close to the original, if a bit lighter.

Scroll wheel is very bad, especially if you compare it to Roccat scroll wheels or wheels from G703 and G Pro mouses. It’s even worse than original MX 518 scroll wheel, even as it both seems to be same hardware, Logitech MX 518 G scroll wheel is scratchy with rough and badly defined steps.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.

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. Thanks for reminding me about this question by replying to it. It's my fault not providing the answer, which I had indeed found. Passionate about mice? We're growing and looking to hire a full-time Staff Writers to work on mice and other computer products remote, or at our lab in Montreal. 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".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 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 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. Wireless keyboards and mice have become more popular than ever, partly because the prices have dropped considerably, but also because they are far more reliable than they used to be. However, for me, a wireless mouse is just not good enough for gaming – I can always feel a slight lag when playing with a wireless mouse, and once again, this could be the difference between living and dying; or more importantly, gloating or sulking.

Scroll wheel button is rough to press and impractical. You will hate to use scroll wheel button with this mouse. SensorThe 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. Driven by data, run by a passionate team of engineers, testers, technical writers, developers, and more. 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. 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.

The scroll wheel has a light sensor on one side and a lens emitting a ray on the other. the light goes through tiny holes on the wheel from one side to the other and the sensor reads the intervals to make the scroll go. title=More%20Expert%20Tech%20Roundups&type=articles%2Cvideos&tags=tech-roundup&count=6&columnCount=6&theme=article 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 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.Software is very basic. Logitech G Hub allows you to reconfigure any button on the mouse or assign it macro commands. Logitech MX 518 G is best suitable for FPS games such as CS GO, Overwatch, PUBG or Fortnite. But it will serve well in other genres as well. Although MX 518 does not use safe shape, and some people will dislike it because of it, it’s shape over time will imprint so much on you, that you will look for it in other mice. 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. 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.
