Just thought I would write up a review on a mouse I recently started using, it is an older mouse but I think it's the best mouse I have ever used.



The MX518 is an Optical gaming mouse just like the Razer Deathadder, but in my opinion this mouse is the better of the two.

I started using this mouse a few days ago and I noticed straightaway that it is alot more comfortable and that it's more precise to aim with, currently I'm using it at 125hz and 400DPI, I really haven't noticed a change from 1000hz to 125. Some people may prefer 500hz or 1000hz and that's when you overclock it.

It is an older mouse so the price has come down alot and you can pick one up online for around $35 dollars on PC Case Gear.

As mentioned above, this mouse is very comfortable and I also find it easier to play with than my old deathadder and I had it for a year. In terms of quality and how the mouse is built, it feels really strong and doesn't squeak if you press on it, this happened when I had a few razer mice, It has a great shape for larger and smaller hands and has 8 programmable buttons. This mouse also doesn't take very long to get use to.

So for this mouse for Bang for buck it gets a 10 out of 10, Comfort a 9 out of 10 and ease of use 10 out of 10
This mouse is good for beginners to players higher up.

(The mouse looks like it has dents but that is just an affect they have given the outer shell, it's completely smooth to touch)

This is my first review and I thought I would type it up and post it on CG.

huh?

With 1000hz you have 1ms response but with 125 it's around 4-8ms not sure which one.

Nice,

I recently bought the G400 which is basically identical to this, at $50

If you like this mouse i recommend you try the Logitech G400

Great mouses.

8ms with 125hz

1ms with 1000hz...

Thats if the mouse actually can run at that speed when you set the polling rate

deathadder fo lyf !

For those confused about the hz etc.

The hz on a mouse judges it's response time,

1000hz = 1ms

500hz = 2ms

125hz = 8ms

*Thanks to Apex for correcting me.

good write up, couple of me mates have got it and said its good

they know that enzoe, specially lantern lol.. had this mouse for over a year and still goes strong, lantern was pretty much spot on what he said about it in the other thread..

Nice work reviewing a 10year old mouse

Did say it was old and I wanted to do one, got nothing positive to say don't post.

Nice review

back to basics. Sometimes the classics work best.

Alt +QQ works best as well

review pasting technical specifications and 100 words

but can it draw circles?
