A great mouse for casual and serious gamers alike, the MX518 features a highly sensitive, 1,600dpi optical sensor that's adjustable for different gaming situations. The grip is ultracomfortable, but it's built for right-handed players only.

Logitech MX518 Legendary gaming mouse review – A classic reborn

If you’re an old-school PC Gamer from before many fancy peripherals were even thing, there are probably two mice that you remember fondly. At least, there are for me – and both have seen a resurrection in recent times. The first is, of course, Microsoft’s Intellimouse. It was the first optical mouse I ever owned, and the thing lasted for over a decade before finally giving up its digital ghost. When I started getting serious about playing games though, I moved towards another mouse that would become unfathomably popular – and one of the best-selling mice in the history of gaming: Logitech’s MX518.
