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.

It's not like heavily shaped gaming mice with thumb buttons would have been quite as ubiquitous back then as they are now. I'd say MX518 was one of the first of its kind, at least of the widely available ones. I guess because it was from an old manufacturer like Logitech, random stores would have more easily taken it into their selections, thus paving the way to the mice of smaller manufacturers as well. Not to mention it really was a jolly good mouse.


Upvoted for calling it a jolly good mouse.

That's the best mouse I've ever had the pleasure of holding in my hand and a big plus was the lack of childish RGB bloat. I will most definitely pick one up; even though my 8K Pro Gaming Laser mouse is working.

Man, you guys have no idea what kind of smile this news put on my face! :eek: ... :D

Finally Logitech woke up and re-re-re-released this fantastic mouse. For me, the shape/weight/buttons layout of the mx518 (and all its versions up to G500s) is perfection, at least for my hand size.

Great news, good timing too, since I have my G500s for over 5 years now of daily heavy usage and for the past half year was looking at a replacement, and was even thinking of going the ebay route to get my hands on another one...yay!

Thanks at explaining it to me @bigfutus , @barbacot , and @Kaarme
I guess a little nostalgia helps there, and with that I neither can, nor want to argue :)
