Logitech MX500 Mouse $18.90 + shipping

[Frintin]

MWave has the Logitech MX500 mouse for $18.90. Shipping to me in Northern California via ground is $7.37. Not a bad deal if you are looking for a newer mouse shape and excellent corded performance.

Check it out here!

seems to be the going price... nice mouse I agree though.

This article puts the mx500 above such lofty competitors as the Diamondback, G5 and others. And it's not subjective.

So, if you wanna learn a bit about mouse performance before buying another one, I'd suggest reading that. It's one of the most creative and well-done computer hardware related reviews I've seen in a long time.

<- loves his trusty MX518

 

[Jawo]

I love the MX700, which is the wireless version. I used it for two years before I finally broke down and got the MXRevolution.

 

[jryan25]

I have this move and love it. Although I paid a lot more cash for it though.

 

[pnot00]

Good find OP.

I'm still using my Red MX 510 and its' been one of the best mice i've ever used. Can't go wrong with Logitech

 

[sintaxera]

I just replaced my 500 with a 518 from Target that was on sale for $29.95 The only reason was that I had worn down the feet, and the rubber coating on the thumbside from using it so much. If I would have seen this deal first, I would have gotten it. Great mouse, Great price!

 

[pcmax]

Great mouse! Just about outlasted all the MX510/518/G5's I have had since

 

[imported_bubbalou32]

My 510 rt click started screwing up (probably from gaming) and I took it apart to see if I could fix it. Didn't realize until later that it was still under warrenty and would have been replaced for free if I hadn't tampered with it.

 

[SparkyJJO]

That is a nice mouse, I had one that I bought used and I used it for a good 2 or 3 years until the left button finally wore out and wouldn't click properly anymore. Almost bought another one but I upgraded to the MX518 so I could have the on-the-fly DPI change. Great mice!

 

[crossrode]

I'm in for one. Already own G5 Laser, a 518 and 2 510's. Great mice! 18.90 is a super price I can't pass up.

a friend of mine had the same right click problem with his 510, contacted logitech, they sent him a new 518 without him sending in the old 510, he gave the 510 to me, i took it apart, fixed the right click and have been using it ever since, that was over a year ago, before that I had an mx500, which i then gave to another friend of mine. great mice all the way around.

 

[imported_bubbalou32]

Thanks for the heads up. I emailed their support dept and am awaiting a reply.
I knew about the Microsoft mouse replacement program but didn't know Logitech did the same. BTW- how did you fix the mouse button? I think mine exceeded the 100,000 hits playing Unreal Tournament.

what did he overclock the usb rate with?

i just know that i can rub my finger over my mx1000's sensor hole and it will track smoothly whereas if i try that with my mx700 it freaks out.

guess each mouse has different ways of responding to stimulation, eh?

 

[SZLiao214]

Arg! Its the very mouse i bought 2 years ago and still use today. Got it on sale for 30+tax

Me too.

Target had MX518s for $30, but most of them are out of stock.

 

[cbuchach]

I have had this mouse for several years now and really love. It has a great feel and weight with a good selection of buttons.

 

[us3rnotfound]

It's built like a tank, and there's a good reason Logitech has used the exact same frame for the MX510 and MX518.

BTW - for MX500/510 owners: You can take out the weight inside the mouse to make it MUCH lighter/comfortable. It does void the warranty but I highly recommend it.

Just be mindful of how to put it back to together if you get the scroll wheel housing to fall apart by accident . It fits together easily, you just have to be patient with it.

 

[RallyMaster]

Looks like I'm gonna remove the weight from my MX518...hmmm!

 

[GeezerMan]

Got mine today. I like it. I have a question on the wheel. When you push it in, like on a browser page, you get a 4 direction crosshair, like you get on many mice. I can't move the crosshair though. The cruise control buttons work, but I'm thinking I should be able to drag the crosshair and let it automatically scoll up and down. Am I doing something wrong?

 

[RallyMaster]

Hmm....did you install SetPoint? Might help...
