"I still have and use mine going on 19 years. ... Had to replace the cord at one point."
"Hope I still have mine, I should've kept it. ... Turns out I still have my old MX518 mouse. ... You can replace the cord?? ... Was it easy to replace the cord and at low cost?"

"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."

AmarildoJr 1.0This shape is so good I got myself a MX 518 Legendary in 2019 and still have it.
Balrogos 1.0Simmilar problem 6"6 also big hands but i use palm grip insetad claw so my hand is furhter down the mouse i can only recommend that or change mouse, i very dont like this mouse it had also bad rewievs but i was buying logitech since 1990 so i tought after MX 518 v2 it can be bad oh boy i was so wrong.
beansfranklin 1.0Actually, 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
BOOMER994 1.0Try looking for a sealed MX518 on ebay or an online seller. Might be your best option.
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.
Centigonal 1.0love my mx518 re-issue. The G500 was also a great mouse.
DrUmamiNipples 1.0Same. I often regret not buying multiple of that mouse when it was still in production. Logitech did a re-release/updated MX518 a while back and that was cool, but the G500 was the epitome of that whole MX5xx/G5xx family. I've never spent more than $50 on a mouse, but I'd buy at least one if not multiple new production G500's if Logitech sold them for $100 or less.
hckrz 1.0Too bad that they scamed people with the 518 remaster with a big downgrade on quality
Mecha120 1.0I had a MX518 for about 10 years before the scroll wheel finally crapped out on me. Still the best mouse I ever used. I bought a MX518 Legendary to collect years ago, it's still in it's box.

PastRiver8899 1.0My best advice for you would be to grab a MX518 Hero / MX518 Legendary. Those are nice, i have 2 of them. Not my shape but the hero sensor is obviously good & the build on them is quite decent. Picked them up on launch 2019/20 (don’t remember) for 30$ / piece, returns or smth.
It’s also going to be really bad if you’re looking to game. I recommend mx518 hero, it looks just like the OG, only it has the hero sensor. They even kept the garbage black layered feet on the mx518 hero. It’s the same.
Aaron8001 0.5Mx518 ranked supreme. 502 is great, but 518 is the goat
