[twitchee2]

which would you get? i cant seem to decide which is better for me. i currently have a el cheapo wireless microsoft mouse that is terrible for cs 1.6( thats about all my comp can play). i dont need wireless and i cant seem to decide between these 2. so which would you choose for me?

Basically the same mouse... one is 800DPI, the other is 400-1600DPI. Matters if you need variable DPI or not. If not, 510 is cheaper.

waht does cariable dpi do?

They are around the same price, right? Get the MX518.

mx-518

mx-518 can be a mx-500 specs by a click of a button at 800dpi. if you want to know what dpi do google is ur friend.

mx 518 mate, awesome reviews from what ive seen

I would say the MX518. It's a ~$10 difference for adjustable DPI, which is a godsend in FPS. If anyone hasn't told you, having adjustable sensitivity (DPI) becomes infinitely useful in games like CSS, where you can roll down the sens. for sniping and throw it back up for normal combat.

ok i guess will stick with the 518 then

I don't know exactly how adjustable sensitivity helps in gaming, but it's great for Photoshop.

The MX 518 is a great mouse - if you can afford it, get it.

I got my MX510 from ZZF for $15 after rebate. That's a good deal.

It depends on cost, but the 518 is a better mouse overall just due to the adjustable dpi feature, if you want or need it, grab the 518, otherwise just save the money and get the 510.

At least for CS and CSS I know having adjustable DPI is not necessary because you can set a lower sensitivity for when you are zoomed in with a scoped weapon separately. I forget the command, cl_zoom something, I think.

MX518 seems nice and all but i'm already in love with my MX510.

This is the problem I'm having...stores around me sell only MX510 for $39.99($45 after tax), but the MX518 I can only get online, after tax and shipping on ncix it will be $83...

So it sucks for me, I need to find a place that sells it around me.
