Gaming Mouse: Logitech G5 VS MX 518

[akshayt]

Hi

Please tell me the best prices and dealers for Logitech mouses in Delhi.

I have the following in mind, please compare them Value For Money Wise:
Logitech G1
Logitech MX518
Logitech G3
Logitech G5- too expensive at almost 4000 rupees

Are these mouses really worth the price when it comes to gaming.

HELP

WTF is a rupe?

In any case, I was using the G7 (wireless version of G5) and had an MX518 in my drawer. After a few months of using the G7, I went back to the MX518. I dislike the G7 because it is entirely plastic, as opposed to the MX518 that has the textured sides that allows me to grip the mouse even when I am sweating.

I think I am going to buy another MX518, cause the one I am using now is scratched up pretty bad.

I have the MX-518 great mouse

I am not impressed with logitech's g5 or g7 because the scroll wheel is too high and they took out a button on the left for forward and back for internet browing. the color and texture isnt great either specially on the g5 the wire is like sleeved and doesn't have a smooth surface ontop.

I would suggest MX-510, MX-518, or G7 if you wanted to go wireless though idk if you will miss the extra button

I am considering a Logitech MX518, it may come between Rs.2500-3000, !$=Rs.46 approx

MX518 is better it has two side buttons buy it.. And Rupees are the things you get in Zelda ^_^...Jk they are indian money.

I love my MX-518; it works perfectly, so I have no reason to want an upgrade.

Loved my MX-518, but love the G5 even more. To me, the G5 was more precise and the weight cartridges was a plus since I felt the MX-518 was a bit too light. I never really did use that extra thumb button, so it was easy for me to stick with the G5. Either way, you're getting a great mouse.

Delhi as in New Delhi, India?

I really like my G5 I just got it a couple weeks ago and it's a dream.

If you can't afford one though, there is no discussion - get the MX518.

As to where to get one... umm ebay? IDK... I don't think many places ship to India.

And most of us have no idea what a rupe is worth... are you saying $1 = 46 Rupes? I got my G5 for about $50 so about 2300 Rupes. Shipping is the killer if your not in the US though.

Just get what you can afford... and take a deep breath! :thumbsup:

mx-518 is a sweet deal if you are looking to go with a laser mouse...the newer ones in the G series , like the G5 have removable weights to adjust the mouse to your taste.
They are both very accurate....that's what you want for a good shooter..

mx 518 for me- u can configure all 8 buttons with the software or use 2 of the buttons for mouse speed change

I am going with MX 518, maybe around 60-70$ or so.
