The MX518 comes with all the usual stuff for your high-end mouse - Nothing really exciting here.

The Mouse

The Logitech MX518 mouse is a 1600DPI multi button mouse designed to please even the most advanced gamers. One of the first things that grabbed my attention though, was the look of the mouse. The design gives the mouse an effect of looking dented. Now to some, this might look sweet - but to others, it might be plain ugly.


The mouse is equiped with eight buttons in total - The right and left click, four on top, and two on the left hand side. The two buttons on the side; I find are extremely handy and help my style of gaming.


The mouse uses five "feet" or gliding pads for smooth movement over the surface. These pads are rated for 250 km of use... first thing I thought when I read that was "I wonder how long that'll take me...?".
