Logitech Gaming Grade Optical Mouse

[xbonez]

I recently bought the Logtech MX-518 Gaming Grade Optical Mouse. Here's my review:

In games, you use all sorts of weapons -ranging from the beretta, desert eagle, the deadly magnum or the BFG!!! But in reality, you have only one weapon, and that’s your mouse. Being an avid gamer, I decided I’d had enough with my cheap Intex optical mouse which I had purchased years ago for Rs. 200, and prepared to get myself a specialized gaming mouse. I had various options to choose from – Logitech’s G5, MX-518, some from Razer and Creative Fata1ity Gaming Mouse. After due consideration, I settled for the Logitech MX-518 Gaming Grade Optical Mouse.

PACKAGING

The MX-518 is packaged rather attractively. The mouse itself isn’t covered, but visible with just a hard plastic cover hugging its contours, so you can have a feel of the mouse in your hands without having to open the packaging.

TECH SPECS

The Logitech MX-518 uses a MX Optical Engine which is one of the primary reasons I chose this mouse over others. Laser mice are generally fussy about the surface they’re used on. That means investing in a good mousepad becomes necessary. But the MX-518, being an optical mouse, works well on a wide range of surfaces ranging from the el cheapo Rs. 20 mousepads to the metal fibre ones costing in excess of Rs. 1000. Why, you could even use it on wood directly, thought it’ll spoil your experience, not to mention the discomfort it’ll cause your hand.

PS - It takes a lot of time and effort to write a long and comprehensive review. So plese don't get angry that I haven't posted the entire review here

well...a nice review..none the less....but still...id suggest u use one of the following mouse pads with it...

Steel Pad-Qck,Qck+,Qck heavy and S&S.

Razer-Mantis Control or speed depending on your choice for speed or control...and yes the mouse gliding on the mouse pads can be further inproved drasticaly by using...

Steel Pad Surfers(MX series barely cost 300 bucks).......
the pad surfers work best with....the Qck series and the Mantis Control.

I have 4 mice.....

1.Microsoft Intelli Explorer 3.0(MSIE 3.0)
2.Mx518
3.Razer copperhead
4.Razer deathadder.


according to me the rankings would be like.....

Deathadder>MSIE3.0>MX518>CopperHead.

some may rank the copperhead above the 3.0 and the deathadder....but it depends on ones personal choice such as i like mice with a big base..and the deathadder and 3.0..offer just tht......the mx 518..is a little sleek..so it comes after the 3.0 and deathadder fr me....place it according to ur preference.....
