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.

About the only thing I was never a fan of with this mouse is the paint. It looks like someone took a ping hammer to it.

Cool, I might have to snag one. I would have preferred a G5 reboot, that thing fit my hand perfectly and I haven't found a replacement that feels the same (sadly I lost the G5 in a move), but I think the MX518 is similar.

They already did that years ago. The G400 and G400s are an MX518 with new sensor. But I guess this announcement results in more free advertising (by sites like... this one.)
This is the G400. You need a microscope to spot a difference:
Sensor is a lot better though. But the average joe won't notice this tbh.

Sell the G9x though, you probably get really good money for it, and besides it'll mess up your flick shots due to the acceleration issues with that mouse, you won't be able to produce such effective muscle memory - that's what I found when I switched from G9x to G303. That G303 is a good mouse, but the left mouse button failed with double click issue, and I got a G Pro as a warranty replacement - Logitech are awesome for their warranty!
