"I even washed them accidentally and still worked perfectly fine afterwards."
"Been using them for about four years working out in my gym, and cycling daily (45+ minutes on a bicycle outdoors)."
"They last absolutely forever (I know 1980s models still in daily use)"

"this mouse is perfect for that grip. ... I'm now gonna try it out in Apex. I always palm/claw gripped the deathadder Ive had for 10 years."
"i love the harpe shape it ’s a perfect fit for my hand"
"The harpe ace is a sleeper pick for big handed people. ... Tried many different mice but keep coming back to that one."

"I use the two side buttons as an extra ctrl and alt if my hand needs more focus on the WeSAD movement."
"If the game has all the handy stuff in a 15 key 1-5 c1-5 a1-5 then maybe I'll bind it to 9 and 0 for ultimates or movements or things I wouldn't use reguarly but still need a key for."

"The stock cables are crap, as in the worst stock cables which I have ever encountered on any IEM including KZ IEMs. ... Perhaps the Zero 2 needs to go into the record books for having a very nicely executed relaxing sound signature yet also having the worst stock cable."
"flimsy wire"
"broke while removing the cable 😭"

"as someone on the 502 I miss the 600 and just wish they did a powerplay compatible wireless g600 and get their heads out of their asses"
"not wireless"
"I would probably pay $200 for a wireless g600."

"I just use the MX518, which is already a "2 button" mouse ... I use the two side buttons as an extra ctrl and alt if my hand needs more focus on the WeSAD movement. ... If the game has all the handy stuff in a 15 key 1-5 c1-5 a1-5 then maybe I'll bind it to 9 and 0 for ultimates or movements or things I wouldn't use reguarly but still need a key for."
This shape is so good I got myself a MX 518 Legendary in 2019 and still have it.
r/windowsxp • Some older Logitech gaming mice ->"Finalmouse Classic Ergo", followed by the good old "MX518" were the only ones that really worked for me (I've tried a lot from Razer, Logitech, Lamzu, Zowie, Vaxee, Xtrfy, etc.)
r/MouseReview • What is the best ergo shaped mouse you ever used ->I bought a second one after I wore out the first
r/LogitechG • Today I realized I've been using this mouse for over 18 years ->I went from MX518 to G5. The G5 had adjustable weights in the tray, as well as replacement grips, which could really change the overall size and shape of the mouse, or different textures - one grip was smooth, another textured. I've now moved onto the G502 Hero - another good sized mouse, adjustable weight, plenty of buttons and software to support remapping them. Nice having a dpi thumb button to help with sniping, having that bound to a much lower dpi for precision work, and much higher for normal.
r/gaming • Why was the Logitech G203 considered to be the best gaming mouse of all time? ->Loved these, still use the g mx 518 as I just can’t seem to find something as comfy to me. I dread the day it dies.
r/LogitechG • Some older Logitech gaming mice ->Actually, that isn't what I want. What I want is a brand new mx518, but I just refuse to pay like $150 for a $50 mouse - and that hero sensor has been around half a decade Newer doesn't automatically = better, especially with mice
r/buildapcsales • [Mouse] MSI Versa 300 Wireless Gaming Mouse - $18.12 ->I have one and don't really use it because I find the G13 + MX518 a very easy to use combo. Any reason to give the G600 another chance if I already own a G13?
r/LogitechG • I need a mouse like this in my life ->Try looking for a sealed MX518 on ebay or an online seller. Might be your best option.
r/pcmasterrace • Help for a mouse that fits my hand ->Although its a G5, I really hope they bring back MX518 back. I should've bought 10 when Legendary Edition released and not 1. I hope they do a wireless one.
r/LogitechG • Today I realized I've been using this mouse for over 18 years ->MX518 legendary, long handed dude... thank me later? lol Shits been a NEED in my life since the original mx518 came out... the damn things are perfect for my hand.
r/MouseReview • In need of a mouse that fits big/long hands. ->I just keep repairing them as long as I can. I also have the original MX518 and G502 somewhere
r/LogitechG • Some older Logitech gaming mice ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
