Recommended Posts

Aww, my mom just ordered a mx510 for her laptop on amazon at $37. Do you think I should cancel it and order her a 518 instead?

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

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.

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).

    • Google are hyprocrites for signing this. They have been pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft, only they do it on Android and ChromeOS.
    • In some countries the law has forced Microsoft to display a menu on a fresh install of Windows which asks which web browser you want and it will install that browser. This doesn't add any bloat to Windows. It simply an additional step when setting up a new PC.
    • Chrome is also a first party browser on Android and ChromeOS. And on those systems, Google is pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft does on Windows.
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily evolving the Windows Insider Program over the years, introducing new channels and testing paths that allow enthusiasts to experience upcoming and yet-to-be-released Windows features (some interesting hidden ones too) before they reach the public. However, one long-standing requirement has remained largely unchanged as users are generally expected to enroll in the Program and with a Microsoft account. That's where a third-party tool called "OfflineInsiderEnroll" can help. OfflineInsiderEnroll is said to be a lightweight script that enables access to Windows Insider Program builds on systems that are not signed in with a Microsoft account. Essentially the tool configures the necessary Insider settings locally and hence allows users to select and switch between available preview channels while continuing to receive builds through the normal Windows Update channel. If you are wondering how it manages to do so, it is made possible by a Registry value known as TestFlags. When configured to"0x20", Windows stops communicating with Microsoft's online Insider enrollment services thus preventing locally configured Insider settings from being overwritten. This allows the script to apply its own channel configuration directly through the Registry as Windows Update does not verify whether a device has been officially enrolled in the Insider Program or not. Previously the utility has had already supported the traditional Insider branches including Dev, Beta, and Release Preview. However following Microsoft’s recent restructuring of its preview channels, the script has now been updated. The latest OfflineInsiderEnroll version, 2.6.6, adds support for the newly introduced Insider channel lineup. As such, users can now choose from several Experimental channels in addition to Beta and Release Preview options. The update also retains tools for refreshing the Insider cache, resetting Insider settings, and completely stopping Insider enrollment when needed. Keep in mind though that will need elevated privileges when running the script (run as Admin). You can get the latest version of OfflineInsiderEnroll from this page on its official GitHub repo.
