The thing is so old you can barely recognize the Logitech logo, and the paint has peeled off in multiple places. I picked up a Salmosa for $20 on a whim last year, and I absolutely love it. So much so that I can't believe I used an MX510 for an entire decade without ever trying out new mice. The MX510 is just so bulky and cumbersome in comparison. If you think your MX518 is a super awesome gaming mouse, it might be because you don't know any better. Well, the "bulky and cumbersome" feeling would fall into personal comfort. I know some people who actually liked the weight of the old wireless mice with the AA batteries inside. Of course with the wireless mice, an argument can be made that they are less suitable because of their latency (especially for older models), but when it really comes down to it I can't help but feel that wired mice started to reach their limits even before the release of the 518... Of course the 518 is still an optical mouse and we've had laser mice released since then, but I've yet to hear about significant and appreciable strides made in actual performance. It feels like the focus lately has been more on ergonomics and features (like adjustable weights or grips) than on things like DPI and tracking, maybe because mouse manufacturers realize that a very small percentage of people actually turn their mouse DPI to the 1600 mark and above so there's little point or little room left for improvement that could really be felt... Of course people naturally gravitate toward the latest products when it's time to buy new peripherals, but I think sometimes we need to sit back and ask ourselves how much better they actually are. Of course this isn't to say that ergonomics and comfort aren't important, but mainly to point out that ergonomics is not something you could objectively point out as being better or worse for all people. Truth be told, I feel like more progress has been made in recent years in the field of mouse pads than mice themselves... All this being said, of course I will certainly try out some of the newer mice when the time comes, but I will find it hard to justify spending an extra $30 or so if the only real difference I can notice while using it is the shape (unless that shape is somehow significantly more comfortable) or some extra buttons... I would actually be curious to know how many votes a mouse like the MX310 would have gotten since it's even more common and few people would probably notice a real difference between that and the 518... | ||

For anyone who owns both, can you compare the handling, and clicking noise of the two? | ||

It's pretty natural since mice tend to be a long term investment for people. I can't think of a whole lot of people who spend enough time trying out 20 different mice to see which one is actually best. Generally people will do a little bit of research and just buy one and stick with it unless the one they buy is really horrible. Especially when it comes to gaming peripherals, where being accustomed to your peripheral is a key point to consistent performance, it does no good to constantly be swapping your equipment. | ||

How big is your hand and how do you hold the Salmosa?Edit: I lied, it's an MX500. They're basically the same though. | ||

What if the person that thinks the mx518 is a super awesome gaming mouse filtered through the Salmosa and a myriad of other popular mice? | ||
