Logitech re-releases MX518 mouse with a new sensor

Logitech re-releases MX518 mouse with a new sensor

Logitech announces its MX518 mouse again. The gaming mouse was popular in the past and the company says it will therefore release a new version. The mouse retains its original shape but will receive a new sensor.

The MX518 will be fitted with a Hero 16K sensor. The 2005 model MX518, when released had a sensor with a resolution of 1800dpi. The mouse gets a 32bit arm processor, which should lead to a response time of 1ms. Currently, interested parties can pre-order for $60, however, a release date is TBA.

-- Logitech -- 

The reborn MX518 retains the same shape and feel of the original that made it famous but is updated to the very latest, next-generation technologies, including HERO 16K sensor and the addition of a 32-bit ARM processor for a super fast 1 ms report rate. The MX518 also features eight programmable buttons so you can bind custom commands. With onboard memory, you can also save your preferences directly to the mouse, so you can use it on different systems without the need to install custom software or reconfigure your settings.

But we didn't just improve the inside. While the shape remains the same, we updated the materials and added an exclusive "Nightfall" finish for a sophisticated and contemporary look when crafting this meticulous evolution of our legendary mouse.

Release date TBA? I bought mine yesterday off the shelf at a local store here in Denmark. Online retailers have been saying "Release date 19.02.2019" since the weekend. So I guess it's already out? :)

Nice to see it released world-wide officially, imported the Intelli one that Microsoft made earlier this month and it's been excellent, saw that Logitech MX518 too but it was also China only though I suppose with this little news bit it's finally going WW then, nice!

Should both be using that 3389 sensor. Apparently quite a good one but a mouse is more than just the laser or optical (laser) bit on the end there. :p

tbh, I never understood why this mouse was the holy grail of mice. IMHO it doesn't do much different than other mice...
Can somebody teach me what this thing is all about? Why I should pay the same money for this mouse than for any other one with the same hardware and more buttons?

14 years later and mine is still working with no issues. Great ergonomics. The quantity and placement of the buttons are perfect. I think the new updated MX518 will sell like hotcakes.
