This. I think the mx518 is overhyped. Between my brothers and I we own all of those mice (G5, MX518, G9) and the G9 is definitely the best of the lot.Poseidon wrote:
I hear the G9 is like, the ultimate gaming mouse...but the G5/G7 are better for a mix of work/gaming. I say get the G9.
Also, as I said when we were playing, my G7 does the same thing. Guess it's a logitech problem.
MX518, can't go wrong with it or the price.
I beg to differ (I am one of said brothers) my Deathadder is > all. The G9 is an excellent mouse, no doubt, but imo the Deathadder tracks a bit smoother, perfect for SMG rushes/Assault. G9 might just win in the sniper category.h4hagen wrote:

By hardware, Deathadder and Diamondback 3G are probably the best mice out at the moment, but it all comes down to preference. If possible, go in a shop and test how they feel in your hand.

Steel Series "IKARI" Optical:

Made for FPS, looks similar to the G5 so the "switch" wouldn't be as hard to adjust to, and it's Steel Series.
However, on a lighter note, this should do fine:

I have gone through 4 of their 5H gaming headsets... Absolute garage. My friend had about 3 of his siberias die before he gave up on them...
I also have one of their 5L mousepads... Not exactly the greatest mousepad ever. Seriously, think twice before you deal with crap brands like this.
The MX518s are so hyped because they're virtually indestructible. I've had mine since they were the best mice on the market, and it's flewn a little here and a little there, but it's still working just like new.h4hagen wrote:

For reference, the Logitech logo has most of it's paint worn off.
The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP
this. i love this mouse, it is awsm for all my uses (gaming, comfort for long hours on the comp) and i've had it forever. not a single problem with itFreezer7Pro wrote:

Fuck the G5. MX518 OR Razor Copperhead/Deathadder.
I got the MX518 about 3 years ago, and a Razor Copperhead 18months ago and both STILL havent died.
G5=fail and is over rated
On a side note, both the 518 and Razor have 2 side buttons (not a faggety single useless crap button)

once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.

Ive got the MX Revolution,
Apart from the fact I didnt really enjoy spending £50 on a mouse, the mouse is fantastic.
However, the software that comes with it (and controls the .... super scroll awesomness thing), is crap.

Bought that one once it came out and it´s utterly shit for fps gaming. Feels like steering a pregnant cow on rollerskates through an obstacle course tbh.Titch2349 wrote:

Had to return it and got me a g5. Never had the same joy as with the mx510 back in the days though... :sadface:
