If you're looking for a high quality gaming mouse, and are not willing to spend 80+ bucks on a Razor, you should definitely give the Logitech MX518 mouse a look. 1600 DPI is plenty for most people, including most high sensitivity gamers in my opinion, and with two side buttons it is hard to complain about this mouse. Gaming and general use with this mouse is a pleasure - It's very comfortable, and doesn't miss a beat. I'm certainly pleased with it.

It won't improve your su doku and it's certainly not cheap, but if you are addicted to the kind of games that call for wrists like tree trunks and the reactions of a sprinter (plus the ability to stay up all night eating crisps), the MX518 might just change your life.

If you take your gaming seriously and want to be the best , the MX518 is a great tool for the job.

Excellent performance, High accuracy, Cool looks, Sturdy construction, Ergonomic, 3-year warranty.

Only for right handers.

At last, a gaming mouse that I can use. The size is perfect, the performance is exemplary and the software simple and effective. The Logitech MX518 is the best mouse that I’ve ever got my paws on.

The Logitech MX518 Optical Mouse is easily, the ultimate right-handed gamerￜs mouse. Notice I said, right-handed because the MX518 is only for right-handed users. There is currently not a left-handed MX518 and Logitech has no plans to make one. The MX518 is the most comfortable mouse that I've ever had the pleasure of using. The ergonomics is simply amazing and I don't think it can get much better than this unless you had a mouse molded to fit your unique hand. The ultra high 1600 DPI resolution makes it a hot item for gamers and performance enthusiasts a like. Priced around $40 bucks (Newegg), you simply can't go wrong with the Logitech MX518. It's also reassuring to know that Logitech will be there if the MX518 somehow breaks or is defective, the three year warranty means a lot to a hardcore gamer. I highly recommend the MX518 to anyone seeking to gain the extra gaming edge or if you're simply seeking a new mouse for everyday use. The MX518 will now replace my Razer Diamondback which I had been using before it was even released.

This is a fantastic piece of kit for general Windows use, but particularly for gaming. The design oozes quality, with excellent ergonomics and multiple buttons which are well positioned. With a smooth, precise action and near-perfect size and weight, this is one highly recommended gaming mouse. The one caveat is that those with smaller hands may find it a touch bulky.
