Logitech MX518?

Been asked to replace an old MX518, but Overclockers don't stock this mouse? :eek:

Not sure which mouse to get and it's a Xmas present so need something as close to the MX518 as possible any suggestions? :confused:

As far as I am aware, this is pretty much the replacement for the MX518. I believe it's been phased out.

I haven't tried it though, no idea if it is as good as the MX518. It is, however, identical in shape.

This is well known as a great mouse:http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=KB-176-LG&groupid=702&catid=23&subcat=1257
It's the same shape as the MX518 but it's considerably more expensive.

I've replaced an MX518 with a G400 and they are pretty much identical in everyway apart from the colour.

Sounds like the G400 is your best choice.

This review also says the G400 is identical to the MX518: http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2011/09/28/logitech-g400-review/1

It's not quite a gaudy as the MX518, either.

Thanks for the replies looks like it's the G400, just hope it performs as well as the MX518
