Quality mouse with lots of options

I have used many good mice over the years and have always found it difficult to find the right size for my hand, even on days when I am off house was going shopping. Some were simply irregular in shape; some were just huge. This mouse is as good as I know it fits my right hand in shape and size. Lots of options in the software for gaming profiles and button remapping. While I'm not a huge fan and certainly don't need the color changing icons, they do look pretty cute. I've had this mouse for 3-4 weeks now and STILL getting it. The acceleration and dpi were actually stunning at first. Once you get used to the slight delay and "inaccuracy", the high accuracy caused me some problems. I pointed straight at something "perceived" and landed on top or something like that. It was consistent. I reduced the acceleration and dpi a bit and I'm fine. I haven't noticed any real bugs or anything not working and the product is well made. When I "feel" and see the quality, I feel good. My last mouse (Logitech G9) lasted a very long time and I am using 3 MORE Logitech MX518 elsewhere, I hope this one does the same. I haven't paid that much for a mouse in a long time and I don't usually think twice before buying something. I slept on it for a day because of the price, but I couldn't find another mouse that met my expectations. I would buy this again.

Pros
  • Top marks for grip and durability from testers
Cons
