Hey guys. I've been using a MX518 for about a year now, it's been a really well behaved mouse but i'm looking to upgrade into something better. Any recommendations on which mouse I should get? I do light gaming and photoshop work if that helps in your recommendations.

Thanks!

EDIT: I'm looking for something VERY ergonomic!

If you want to keep the same feel, you can look to the G5 v2 or G7 (wireless).

The only thing I do no like about my G5 v2 is the wheel hump. It's quite high when compared to the MX500/510/518. Other than that, the G5 v2 is a good replacement for a MX500/510/518 user. I also have a first gen G5, and the G5 v2 is the one you want to get, since it adds the extra thumb button, as seen on the MX series.

I have the Razer Copperhead and it doesn't suit me well. It's not quite so ergo but it caters to both lefties and righties, whereas the MX and G series I spoke about are only righties. I have not tried any of the other mice to tell you first hand at how they compare. Hope someone can help you out there.

If I were you, I might look at keeping the MX518, unless it is really wearing out. One of the biggest plusses to go with the G series is the mouse feet as they don't offer alot of resistance during movement(which is a big plus for some/most gamers).

I only really mentioned the mouse that I have tried. Only the G7 I don't have, but I figure it's the same as the G5 only heavier.

The Logitech MX Revolution is quite a nice mouse too, and may fit your needs more than a full out gamer mouse.

The MX Revolution does seem like a good alternative. But i've read some reviews and it's plagued by it random disconnects and by being dead on arrival. I love outside the US. So I have to order it, get it sent to PO BOX, then wait for it to be shipped here. So if my unit did come defective i'm basically throwing away 100$ + Shipping .

Anyone here have any experience with the MX Revolution?

I got an MX Rev about 4/5 days ago, and I'm loving it. I was using the S510 k/m combo and the Revolution blows it out the water. Such a nice mouse :)

I love the S510 best keyboard I've ever owned. What OS are you using your mouse in? And if it was'nt too much trouble what are your system specs.

100% any razer mouse. Use to be a huge logitech fan but after razer, no going back.

As I understand it Razer mouse are good for gaming for their high dpi and whatnot. But they just don't seem to comfortable to me. They really downplay ergonomics on those mice. I've been using computers for about 10 years now and probably will for another 40. I would'nt like to suffer from carpal tunnel or chronic tendinitis just because of a non ergonomic mouse.

I've been using one for about a year I think, and it's great, best mouse I've ever had. Very customisable, loads of buttons, great scroll wheel, and it's never disconnected once.

I also have a DeathAdder just for gaming. I'd never use it as a day to day mouse, the scroll wheel is too stiff (which is great in games) and while my hand rests on it, I always right click by accident because the button is so sensitive (again, great for games).

EDIT: LOL you changed your name while I was replying, I wondered wtf was going on! You know you can only change it so many times right?

So I guess the Revolution it is :p . I'll be getting it in a month or so I hope and I'll post a review after that.

@ DARKFiB3R : Yeah you can only change it twice in 90 days i think. But i used up one change cause I did'nt read so now i'm stuck for the next 90 days. Anyways it's my name:).

Heh, I'm using it under Windows XP SP2, with specs that can run Crysis at low-med settings. E6400 CPU, 2gb RAM, etc.

Also, the S510 is a really great set, but since my mate gave me an old DiNovo Edge he didn't use, I'll be using that when I can contact Logitech about a charger for it :)

thought i'd post this here.... the roccat kone is released, http://www.roccat.org/Products/Products/ROCCAT-Kone/ maybe you could give it a try

Wow that is a really nice looking mouse. I love how the leds change to whatever you want. My gripes are. WAY too expensive, i can't really justify 140$ US for a mouse. Not as ergonomic looking as the MX Revolution. WIRED. I want to reduce wires not add on more.

Anyways if I strike on a pot of gold i'd get it for sure :p . THANK!

    • Apple would rather delay Siri AI than open iOS to rival assistants in the EU

      By JayZJay · Posted

      I do trust Apple probably more than these other companies with certain data, but I also do think (and it has been demonstrated that) Apple pulls a lot of shenanigans and always has for a long time.
    • Does your iPhone support the latest iOS version? Here's the iOS 27 compatibility list

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Does your iPhone support the latest iOS version? Here's the iOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari It's that time of year when we get to know about the latest operating system updates for Apple devices. For iPhone, Apple previewed the iOS 27 update at WWDC 2026, where the company finally introduced an upgraded version of Siri. Apple typically supports iPhone models for up to five years. But it has been making exceptions in recent years (read iPhone 11). If you're wondering whether your iPhone is compatible with the iOS 27 update, here is the official list of devices: iPhone 17 Pro Max, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17, iPhone 17e, iPhone Air iPhone 16 Pro Max, iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16e iPhone 15 Pro Max, iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 iPhone 14 Pro Max, iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13, iPhone 13 mini iPhone 12 Pro Max, iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 mini iPhone 11 Pro Max, iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11 iPhone SE (2nd generation), iPhone SE (3rd generation) So, you can download the iOS 27 developer beta on up to 31 different iPhone models. There has been no change to the list of supported iPhones since iOS 26. However, it will expand to include more devices when the iPhone 18 series arrives later this year. To download the developer beta on your iPhone, go to Settings > General > Software Update > Beta Updates. Here, select "iOS 27 Developer Beta" from the list of choices to get the new update. In addition to iOS 27, you can try the developer beta versions of macOS 27, iPadOS 27, watchOS 27, tvOS 27, and HomePod software 27 on your supported devices. iOS 27 comes with improved Liquid Glass, which you can adjust using a new transparency slider. Apple said during the keynote that iPhone apps now launch up to 30% faster, new photos appear in the Photos app up to 70% faster, and AirDrop transfers work up to 80% faster. The new update promises to improve performance on older iPhones by introducing a new CPU Scheduler that supports devices all the way back to the iPhone 11. While iOS 27 is supported on older iPhones, it goes without saying that they'll lack several features due to hardware differences. For instance, iPhone 14/14 Plus and older models come with a notch instead of the Dynamic Island. Similarly, Apple Intelligence features are supported on iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max and later models.

    • Google Chrome is killing all uBlock Origin bypasses, Microsoft Edge, Opera to follow

      By rseiler · Posted

      I don't know why someone said useless, but it does have that pesky kernel driver bundled, and it's in perennial turmoil. When it goes bad, it goes very bad, and it's impossible to predict when it will due to system differences. I know that they're in the middle of development for a major new version that will include a completely new driver, one that they expect will largely solve the problem, but that's a ways out and it's unproven at this point.

      doesn't AdGuard let ads through that pay to be let through?
