A good quality product, I rate this purchase perfectly.

I started playing CS when there was still version 1.3. First on ordinary office mice. Then around 2022 I first got the Logitech MX-310. She was not bad for her money, but then the top was the MX-518 and after a while I got it and was my favorite mouse.

Around 2022, she disappeared from the sale and there was essentially nothing to replace her. Logitech then replaced it with some strange models with a side scroll on the wheel (because of which it was not so easy to make a click with the wheel). I'm talking about a misunderstanding like the MX-400. I have already ceased to perceive Logitech as a brand of gaming mice, I thought that they had completely deteriorated.

In 2022, I switched to the Razer DeathAdder, and until today, I considered the best Razer DeathAdder Elite mouse priced at around 6000. Razers are good, but not very durable. After about 1-2 years, a random double-click on the LMB appears and the wheel starts to creak, which saves the warranty. The Logitech MX-518 from 2022 lasted me 11 years until 2022 and was fully functional when I replaced it with a Razer. For a while it lay in the box, it was a spare mouse, a mouse for the road, I gave it to friends, and recently my 5-year-old son played it on his new computer, and I noticed that the sound of the removed device began to appear when playing. It turned out that the wire was bent at the mouse somewhere at the base.

I began to look for something to replace and found that 10 years later the MX-518 is back on sale. But already like the MX-518 Legendary. The price by my standards (3200) is budget. I bought it just so that the child could play minecraft and CS:GO with harmless bots, well, with some eye for the future. Just some budget middling, well, as a tribute to the past.

I didn't expect much from her at all. The old MX-518 was good in 2022, but by today's standards, it's not so good anymore. But for the sake of interest, I decided to connect it to my computer and tried to play CS:GO. And I was stunned! So cool, I haven't played in a long time. Very precise aiming, fast sharp accurate movements. I'll probably take this mouse for myself .

Pros

This is really all the same cool MX-518 that old CS players can remember in the mid-2022s. But only with a modern sensor and mics. I'm comparing this mouse to the Razer DeathAdder Elite at almost double the price. I conducted a test that lasted as much as 4 hours (with this mouse I didn’t want to leave CS:GO for a long time). So, it turned out that for me personally, the cheap MX-518 Legendary is better than the expensive DeathAdder Elite. I was simply blown away by the quality of the sensor, the glide on the mat, and the clarity of the switches. The main tangible difference between the old MX-518 and the new one is that the old mouse did not pass the pull test very well. That is, the sensor continued to read movements even at 5 mm separation. This can be inconvenient when moving the mouse quickly, because. at the moment of transfer, the sight also partially moves back, you have to raise the mouse higher. In the new MX-518, with a separation of more than 1 mm, the sensor no longer works, and this is good. In DeathAdder, by the way, it's the same.

Cons

Judging by other reviews, the build quality of Logitech is not very good. It was not very good in 2022 either - I somehow came across a marriage with the right button (it seemed to click twice with one click). And now, probably even more so due to the general trend towards cheaper prices. Therefore, I recommend not to buy in online stores, where there is only redemption, but only check at home. For the last 5 years I have been buying mice only in stores of two red brands on "E" and on "M". They give mice to test before payment. Today I bought this mouse, ordered it via the Internet, came to "M" with a laptop, they unpacked it and let me test it before paying. I just moved the cursor in Windows, pressed the buttons, checked the sensor for separation, everything worked out and I bought it. I recommend doing the same. There are probably a lot of marriages, and then it will be more expensive to bother with a return. The soft-touch coating will most likely not last long. The original old MX-518 soft-touch coating completely peeled off in a year or two. I don't know how the new one will be. Non-repairability. The old MX-518 could at least be taken apart. And thanks to this, I will most likely fix the broken wire in the old mouse. It will just be 5-10 centimeters shorter (by the way, the wire of the new one is 2 times thinner). And the new MX-518, as well as the Razer DeathAdder, cannot be disassembled. Everything is glued in there. Even an elementary cleaning of the wheel (a lot of dust and grease from the fingers always accumulates there) will not work.
