I had mine for many years till 1 day a button stopped working. Then the scroll wheel died. I ended up getting the 502 as its replacement, but never felt the same as the MX518. Logitech bastards never should have discontinued it.
I will buy it :up:

Same here. Had it for years until recently when the cord developed a kink in it that caused it to randomly lose signal for a second before reconnecting again. Super annoying so I got the G502.

I was skeptical of the weird angular shape of the G502 but it’s actually pretty decent to hold. It’s a pretty good mouse and tracks really well. Only complaint is with the wheel button, it’s not a very nice click and sometimes hitting it causes me to scroll at the same time with unintended consequences.

Would I buy an updated MX518? If I was on the market for a new mouse, but I just got the G502 months ago so don’t intend on buying another mouse until this one finally dies.

i would've put a new cable on it.

the only thing wrong with my 518 is i peeled off the black film off the round logo, but now it's silver and it looks better :olo:

this time i might grab a few when they drop "just in case" they cease production

My 518 died a few months ago, well, the casing cracked. Maybe I should transplant the sensor into my old MX500.

Using a G703 now which is nice, and an M720 for work :up:.

My 502's wheel broke in the first month of having it and the middle mouse button registers a click at random times even when I'm not touching it. I might take a loot at this 518
