Logitech MX518

[Kaido]

wait, so does the mx518 have the side-scroll scrollwheel feature? I'll upgrade if it has that, otherwise I'm sticking with my 510.

oh and for logitech users - check out Logigamer if you haven't heard of it:

Basically lets you change the functions of the buttons depending on the app, like the MS mice. Handy tool.

It's just you.

No I'm kidding, I saw one at Best Buy. It's just made to look like dents, it's smooth in person.

Does it have the same nasty smooth [lack of] texture as the MX510? I use an MX500, and I tried an MX510, but it was so perfectly smooth that it made my hand feel sweaty and clingy even though I hardly ever perspire...I have like 3% body fat. So, I stuck with my MX500. I like its texture much better.

I bought the Diamondback Razer a while ago, but didn't like it. It felt too sensitive and small for me, so I got rid of it and hope this one will be better. If not I guess I'll just stick with my Microsoft Intellimouse 3.0

can you elaborate on what it means to be uncontrollable? is it too sensitive? i take it that its not something you could fine tune with sensitivity settings. i had briefly thought about getting one when it hits the shelves, but strangely my broken mx300 came back alive just a few days ago 😀

No, it doesn't have the left-to-right tiltwheel. And although I blew a 10 dollar reward cert on this, I just know that once they feel they've made enough money on this mouse, they'll fuggin' come out with a corded version of the MX1000... :|

Thanks op. I had a $15 cert that expired today so I grabbed one. I almost forgot about the cert for spending $100+ in amazon electronics (shuffle).

damn. i really want one but i hate cordless mice (recharging batteries sucks!)

The MX1000 doesn't have batteries in the removable sense, it has an internal lithium cell that supposedly gets excellent life per charge.

the mx700 might get like 2-3 days of heavy use. the 1000 supposedly pulls 2 weeks.

The mouse is made to look like that. It's just an illusion 🙂
