Logitech MX518 Gaming Optical Mouse - Metal

This is my third MX518, and will buy one more in two years, I say two years because this is a great mouse, but as others have said, over time the buttons will wear out. get it, you'll live it a lot.

Good size mouse with a lot of features. Good weight and button adjustability. I use it mainly for web surfing and general applications, but not much gaming, so I am not hard on my mouse. The problem I had with this mouse is that the rubber coating on the sides started blistering and peeling off. Basically there is a rubber film/ coating on the black parts of the mouse which give it its grippy feel and under that is just smooth plastic. This being the only problem I had, but a big problem in my book, leads me to my 3 star rating.

No problems really, does what its suppose to and the design doesn't bother and it actually kinda comfortable. I like the wheel cause it clicks with each roll which is useful for me and is what I prefer. the extra buttons on the side don't get in the way and you have on the fly switching of the DPI which is nice. Great mouse had it for several months no issues.

This is one of the best mouse i have ever used. Very smooth you dont even need a mouse pad on a normal surface, but if you are going to use it on glass you'll need a mouse pad.

I am a PhD student and need to do a lot of clicking on hundreds of images every day. That is why I would like to buy a gaming mouse because they provide better accuracy. This mouse suits my need and you can locate the pointer at exact position you want. Another good thing is that you can customize all the buttons on this mouse to provide you shortcuts for many things.
