| Gaming Mouse Can any one recommend a good gaming mouse?
Thanks in advance. |
|
| The Logitech MX518 is my choice. Not even sure if Logitech still makes it, doesn't look like they show it on their website anymore.
I have had this mouse well over 5 years and it's never missed a click. The thumb buttons are well located and the mouse itself is ergonomic. And, of course, it's corded. I refuse to game with wireless mice.

Logitech MX518 or G5 |
|
| G5 is very similar to the MX518 but only has 1 thumb button I believe and the MX518 has two thumb buttons. Most of your current games will allow you to map M4 and M5, so that would be the benefit of the MX518. |

You are correct i've had the G5 for 5 years with zero problems it also has weights so you can adjust the balance of the mouse to your hand and strenght.

Love my MX518. If it can't be found the G5 would be my pick too. |

G400 |
The G5v2 which is blue does have two thumb buttons.
There was a MX518v2.
There are two versions of the mouse; the more recent release with 1800 DPI and the otherwise nearly identical, 1600 DPI model. It is not difficult to separate the two, as the newer model features a different feet layout with three feet instead of five, its holographic effect appears "shallower" compared to the original and it has a black plastic bottom instead of a smoked see-through plastic.
if you like the MX518, get the G400 which is the true successor. They didn't change much except it goes to 3600 DPI and a lighter cord. |

| Ah thanks!
Any commentary on whether optical or laser are superior?
One of the issues i have with my MX518 is that if I am using it on a surface with little texture and/or a flat color, the mouse can go wild and not track well.
Commonly happens in hotel rooms on a table or book.

For a travel mouse, you'd probably want something like this

Optical isn't great on all surfaces, I'm using a Steelseries QCK which works great with my G400 »steelseries.com/products/surface···ries-qck
Even though laser mice have been around for a while, there is a reason why the MX518 is still one of the most popular optical gaming mice. |

Logitech G500
Love mine. It replaced a well loved MX510 - still working - lack of driver updates (or original features removed from the newer drivers!) was the problem. |
