Logitech MX518: It's official!


Recommended Posts

  • 2 weeks later...

I have an MX518, and I love it. I did have a MX500 but my wife now has it. The setpoint drivers for this mouse are quite a bit different, and the nice thing about the mouse is that the sensitivity/dpi buttons can be used in Windows XP to adjust the dpi without having to install setpoint. The only catch to this is that the mouse will be more accurate in the dpi settings using setpoint and you can customize the different dpi settings you want to assign. It makes quite a difference in games, but it can also be a pain unless you go through setpoint and customize different ranges of dpi's for different detected games. The customization possibilities are almost endless, and it is a wonderful step towards advanced gaming mice.

I am curious to see how the mx1000 performs, but I love corded mice more due to the fact that I LAN a lot and get a lot of interference with wireless mice at LAN's. Apparently everyone else like to bring them too due to the ease of setup and clutter...

For those who doubt my possession of the mouse, here are some photos of it sitting on my SteelPad:

Apparently there are only 200 in the world right now, and this mouse will be different than the production mice that are being released in April. I guess I will find out when they become available for purchase.

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

You get what you pay for, IMHO.

I feel that the ?30 I paid for my MX510 is money well spent, it's the best mouse I've ever used by a long shot.

Logitech keyboards and mice are the dog's danglies!

I didn't have to pay for this mouse, but I will be picking up an extra one when they go retail. I really like the feel of it in terms of response and the ability to change the dpi on the fly with no software needed. Logitech is a great company and they are quite innovative.

No, event staff for PDXLAN. Logitech sponsored the event and we handed out some of these mice. One of the winners was gracious enough to give it to me because I had helped him fix a really nasty hardware problem at the event so he could game. I was pretty shocked that he was that generous, but he had an mx1000 that he had just recently bought.

We have a 1,000 seat LAN coming up in August. http://www.pdxlan.net

    • You can't remove Safari though. Or almost any other bundled app for that matter, and pretty much all of them are useless to me (and there are is a heap of them compared to Windows). I'll much rather take Edge than Safari, at least it can be highly customized vs. Safari. I'll take a PC with ten Edges over a Mac any day though as I can't stand all the limitation and painfully frustrationg restriction that make me dislike their stuff with a burning passion, iOS included (especially iOS).
    • DVD only? What kind of self-respecting optical disk backup/ripping tool doesn't support Blu-ray these days? I burned all my DVDs like 15+ years ago...

    • Glow 26.9 by Razvan Serea Glow provides detailed reporting on every hardware component in your computer, saving you valuable time typically spent searching for CPU, motherboard, RAM, graphics card, and other stats. With Glow, all the information is conveniently presented in one clean interface, allowing you to easily access and review the comprehensive hardware details of your system. Glow provides detailed information on various system aspects, including OS, motherboard, processor, memory, graphics card, storage, network, battery, drivers, and services. The well-organized format ensures easy access to the required information. You can export all the gathered data to a plain text file, facilitating sharing with others for troubleshooting purposes. No installation needed. Just decompress the archive, launch the executable, and access computer-related information. Glow runs on Windows 11 and Windows 10 64-bit versions. Glow 26.9 changelog: New Features The processor hardware detection engine has been significantly enhanced beyond traditional Intel and AMD architectures. Native support is now available for modern platforms such as Apple Silicon (M-Series) and the newly introduced NVIDIA Spark. In addition, all ARM-based processors can now be accurately distinguished between ARM32 and ARM64 architectures, providing precise hardware reporting. This marks a major milestone for Glow's hardware detection capabilities. The RAM manufacturer identification algorithm has been expanded. JEDEC vendor codes for popular brands such as Patriot, PNY, Team Group, GeIL, Lexar (Longsys), and Asgard/Gloway have been integrated into the database. This significantly reduces the likelihood of incorrect or "Unknown Manufacturer" results and improves overall hardware detection accuracy. New Public IP Address and Internet Service Provider (ISP) features have been added to the Network section. To ensure reliability, this information is retrieved from the trusted service ipwho.is. When Hiding Mode is enabled, no requests are sent and these features remain hidden, as they may expose sensitive information. The search engine used in the Installed Drivers, Installed Services, and Installed Applications sections has been enhanced. You can now perform more flexible and accurate searches using initials, partial matches, and loosely arranged character sequences. The TS Preloader loading bar has been rebuilt using our modern TS Custom Controls graphics library, developed entirely in-house. As a result of this infrastructure upgrade, the loading bar now features smooth rendering and rounded corners that align with the visual style of Windows 11. [TS Updater] A new validation algorithm has been added to check whether the target application is currently running before the update process begins. Bug Fixes Resolved a condition that could prevent TS Preloader from shutting down safely during rare application crash scenarios. Fixed a text alignment issue in the Network section affecting the display of DNS addresses. Alignment is now rendered correctly. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue that could prevent the updated application's executable "*.exe" file from being located after the update process. [TS Updater] Fixed a bug that could leave outdated "*.sha256" files in the application directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed a rare issue that could cause subfolders to be moved into the root directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue during the first launch that could cause flickering and a temporary white window appearance due to Windows Defender interactions. Changes A small improvement has been made to the internet connectivity detection algorithm. Connectivity checks are now performed in the background with minimal impact on the user interface thread. The keyboard shortcuts in the top menu have been reorganized and simplified to provide a consistent experience across all Türkaysoft applications and to avoid potential conflicts with standard Windows shortcuts. The TS Preloader splash image has been updated with a Türkiye-themed stadium design to celebrate Türkiye's qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup—its first appearance in 24 years. Congratulations, Türkiye! The TS Custom Controls module has been updated to version 26.6, delivering improved stability and a more polished visual appearance. [TS Updater] The application icon has been redesigned to provide a more modern and refined look. Note: Always unzip the program before using it. Otherwise you may get an error.
