Those of you who grew up playing games in the 2000s may remember the Logitech MX518. First released in 2005, the mouse is something of a classic, combining a comfortable shape with good button placement and a reasonable price. In fact, it is so popular that Logitech has sold a total of 16.4 million units over the mouse’s lifetime.
Of course, the MX518 is a little dated by today’s standards, what with the proliferation of wireless mice that boast flawless tracking and performance. Having said that, Logitech is now launching the MX518 again, along with a few upgrades to help spruce it up.
The new MX518, or G MX518 as Logitech is now calling it, comes equipped with a 16,000DPI Hero optical sensor that can track at over 400 IPS. This is also the same sensor as the one used in the company’s other flagship mice like the G Pro Wireless, and it exhibits no discernible acceleration or smoothing.
