Logitech MX-518
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Logitech MX-518 is a mouse designed for gaming. It is the successor of the Logitech MX-510, though it is argued there is little difference, or preference to the MX-510. Logitech claims it can enhance precision and improve comfort during gaming, it is generally regarded as a good mouse to use while gaming, with positive reviews.[citation needed]
[edit] Features
The MX-518 is known for its ergonomic design, on-the-fly DPI changing, 7 programmable buttons and 1 scroll wheel. A prominent feature of the MX-518 mouse is its aesthetic appeal, Logitech have used a holographic image on the mouse, making it appear dented, or shot with bullets; this would have an obvious appeal to people who play games, and is considered a selling point.
There are two versions of the mouse; the more recent release with 1800 DPI and the otherwise nearly identical, 1600 DPI model. It is difficult to separate the two, as they appear the exactly same.
[edit] Faulty Mice
There have been a number of reports where several gamers' MX-518 mice stopped functioning after a few months of use.[citation needed] Common symptoms were the mice constantly froze, and the mouse's USB device appeared to unplug itself from the PC according to the device manager. Logitech responded to these complaints by releasing an updated version of the mouse, with an entirely new sensor engine.
