your mom should be ok with the mx510....is she a gamer? mx510 and mx518 are more for gamers but hey a mouse is a mouse

never though about it...getting beat by your mom in CS, her typing pwned or 1337 at you... :pinch:

use use a mx1000, the way my computer is setup under my desk i cant use a mouse with a cord, unless i get an usb extention or put the comuter on my desk, but it gets in the way of my speakers

its really nice, but too bad i ordered MX510.

[Rogue`]

Got a MX510 meself atm, but if and when she dies i will replace it with one of these babies :D Thnx for the news :p

[Max Veteran]

I'll probably order one of these...will be about ?30 here, the current price of the now obsolete MX510.

NO NO NO Logitech stop making MORE mice and improve your mouse drivers, how about adding native application profiles eh? Instead of making us use stuff like Logigamer to be able to utilize all the buttons you put on your mice!

The mouse does look good though I guess.

*YAWN*

Yeah yeah that's all well and good but Logitech's best mouse was their Force Feedback gaming mouse. I still have mine and I still love playing games with it. Who needs precision when you can feeeeeel the good vibrations? :D

[quick]

I though that the laser was the new more precise technology that they are using...? Surprised it is "optical"...

[Elmo]

cool

[Ar3s]

Logitech master's in the art of jacking up prices of accessories that shouldn't cost more than 20$.

Hardware companies don't show enough love for left handed gamers :(

Nintendo does, especially with the DS.

[.:YodaGP:.]

Damn, i bought an MX510 about a month ago. It's great mouse still though!..right guys? :D

I'll be waiting a while to get myself a MX518 but tbh i think i may wait for the Mx520 or whatever comes after this baby.

This mouse looks pretty slick but ever since they came out with the MX1000 Laser Mouse I've been waiting for a corded version to come out. Now they come out with this MX518, I have a MX510 so I'll have to wait for reviews to see how much better this mouse is. I'm not too fond of the adjustable resolution being on top of the mouse, I don't want to hit that by accident when I'm using my scroll wheel for something in the middle of a FPS game. The one thing that would be cool with all this adjustment if it could "Sense" when say... you select your AWP in Counter-Strike, and lower the speed so you can snipe better, then when you switch to your pistol or when just using something else it would be higher speed... Now I know gamers would want that. Half the trick to setting your mouse speed in that game is trying to find a good balance for your playing style but having presets for different guns or when you zoom your rifle... now that would kick ass.

So in short, I'm waiting for reviews, if its not that much better then the MX518 I'll hold off for a MX Corded Laser mouse... since they same themselves how much better it is I'm assuming they'll wait a few months and release that next.

ive got a mx1000 and its amazingly responsive!

Its a bit too chunky and big for gaming but i prefer it to the mx510.

The best atribute of the mx1000 is that it is tilted so it is reely comfortable.

Laser mice are the future!!

[Pink Floyd Veteran]

I'll stick with my mx 1000 lazer

Hey, I got an MX510 for christmas and I'm asking you guys if you know if the software that's shown in the logitech demo ==mx518 site== will be compatible with my MX510.

It would rock because I could adjust the sentisity for each fps I play!!!!

thx

There's a new version of SetPoint that only supports the 518. There might be a way to haxorize it to work with the 510 but it probably wouldn't work right (the 510 is only 800 dpi while the 518 is 1600 dpi, meaning the dpi selector might fubar the 510).

o cool
