Logitech G Announces the 2019 MX518 Gaming Mouse
You asked for it, we did it. Over the years, Logitech G community has consistently asked us to bring back the legendary Logitech G MX518, which many consider to be the finest gaming mouse of all time. Today Logitech G is excited to announce that the new MX518 gaming mouse is now available to fans around the world.
The reborn MX518 retains the same shape and feel of the original that made it famous but is updated to the very latest, next-generation technologies, including HERO 16K sensor and the addition of a 32-bit ARM processor for a super fast 1 ms report rate. The MX518 also features eight programmable buttons so you can bind custom commands. With onboard memory, you can also save your preferences directly to the mouse, so you can use it on different systems without the need to install custom software or reconfigure your settings.
But we didn't just improve the inside. While the shape remains the same, we updated the materials and added an exclusive "Nightfall" finish for a sophisticated and contemporary look when crafting this meticulous evolution of our legendary mouse.
You can find more about the mouse in the video below - we hope you are as excited about this upgrade as we are!

I just hope it is the same quality as the old one and that there will be version with the same texture as the old one.
Had mx518 back in the day, lasted 8 years or so before sensor started dying. By far the best mouse I've ever used. Now so used to Mionix NAOS shape, it might be hard to make the switch.
Still use a G500s myself and have a brand new one in the box.
Hopefully this will be reasonably cheap, and they'll slot in more premium "updates" above it - wireless, rechargeable wireless with a better scroll wheel, etc. Just keep the general shape - it's amazing. My G602 is not a bad replacement, but I still miss my old G7's (wireless G5) ergonomics.
I hope it will be spread worldwide and will make happy users.
Also, the G5, MX 500 and MX 518 is the same shape, but with different sensors, weights and number of buttons.
I am going to buy one... wait, no, I should buy 10 of them for when they discontinue a damn good mouse again.
