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!

    • You could make the argument that K should not be included, but FC, the fried chicken, is not the framework, it's the product. It's the Paint in Paint.NET. A closer analogy is if KFC included the name of the deep fryer they used. HennyPennyFC.

    • Apple is expanding Private Cloud Compute beyond its own data centers by Pradeep Viswanathan At WWDC 2026, as part of the improved Apple Intelligence capabilities, Apple today announced that it is expanding Private Cloud Compute (PCC), its privacy-focused cloud infrastructure for Apple Intelligence, beyond its own data centers for the first time. Private Cloud Compute was designed to handle Apple Intelligence requests that are too complex to run fully on-device. The PCC system does not store user data and does not allow Apple or anyone else to access user requests. Last year, Apple also expanded its Security Bounty program with rewards of up to $1 million for researchers who could find serious vulnerabilities in PCC. Until now, Apple's PCC data centers were using Apple's own silicon. As part of the expansion, Apple is working with Google and NVIDIA to run new Apple Intelligence workloads on Google Cloud systems powered by NVIDIA GPUs. Apple will be using this new infrastructure to execute more demanding AI tasks while maintaining the same privacy and security guarantees of PCC. The new implementation uses NVIDIA Confidential Computing with NVIDIA GPUs, Intel CPUs with TDX, and Google’s Titan chip. Apple says it has worked with Google to build additional protections beyond a traditional confidential computing deployment. Despite the expansion to third-party data centers, Apple claims that its core PCC requirements remain unchanged, including stateless computation, no privileged runtime access, non-targetability, and verifiable transparency. The company highlighted that it will continue to control the PCC software stack, and Apple devices will only trust PCC software that has been cryptographically approved by Apple. To take security to the next level, Apple mentioned that it is maintaining an append-only ledger of Google Cloud hardware that is part of the PCC fleet. The company claims this will help reduce the risk of supply chain attacks. In addition to AI infrastructure, Apple also worked with Google to use technologies behind the Gemini family of models to build the next generation of Apple Foundation Models to power Apple Intelligence features across on-device and cloud workloads. As expected, for more demanding AI tasks like agentic tool use and complex reasoning, Apple will rely on the expanded PCC infrastructure running on Google Cloud. The expansion of PCC on Google Cloud will gradually ramp toward the full set of protections during the summer preview period. As before, Apple will also publish binaries for public inspection, provide research tooling, and give researchers access to live PCC nodes in research mode through the Apple Security Bounty Program.
    • my problem with outlook (new) is that it connects only to outlook.com. all connections to external providers goes through there. Got your mail server and want to use imap directly? no way... it adds a connector on outlook.com. last bug; if your email on an external provider if the same as principal email of your microsoft account, it doesn't work...
