I've got the blue one and it's absolutely brilliant. Really smooth, precise and comfortable - and looks damn cool as well . If you've got the money I'd say you should go for it.

Same, I highly recommend it.

stupid idea, mouse weight cartridge lol G5 mouse

Yea i would be also quite interested to see why you find it a "Stupid Idea", I have the G5, My mouse is at its heaviest setting with all the 4.5g weights inside it. I find its a lot more comfortable for me to use with all the weights in it.

So which would you rather have, A G5 or an Mx518?

MX518 as it has the two side buttons rather than one

I don't know how i would live with only the one side button

Apparently some people have has crazy issues with the G5 even after updating the firmware. Stuff like its failing and skipping.

These "Best gaming mouse" threads come up on a weekly basis, Can't we just have a sticky titled "MX518 is the best gaming mouse, go buy"

btw i have 3 MX518 mice, one for each of my system

TBH im not sure what all the rave about is with the MX518 after owning one for a couple of weeks. :confused:

Coming from an OEM black MS optical mouse the only difference is the 2 extra side buttons to me, the extra optical power really doesnt makes not much of a difference at all... Not worth the 35 quid IMO... 20 tops.

MX518 also gets my vote.

I 'upgraded' to a G5 and tbh it isn't quite as good, the buttons aren't quite as well thought out and it isn't as comfortable.

I've owned many Logitech mice over the years, such as the Pilot, Mouseman Wheel, Mouseman Optical, Mouseman Dual Optical, MX500, MX510, MX518 and G5. And the current upgrade is the only one I've regretted really.

NAH I agree, the Razer Diamonback is an awesome gaming mouse, in my house we have the cameleon, two plasma blues and a the red one!!! Every1 who comes over mine love em and my mates always wanna trade for theirs!!! If you must have 2000dpi then the Razer copperhead is nice but apart from looks I can tell no performance difference. Yeah coupled with a Razer exactmat I find myself in gaming Nirvana
