"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."

If u want ergo: best is deathadder V4 (V3 if u want cheaper) I u want Ambi: cheaper: mchose A7, Darmoshark M3 pro, leviathan V4. Expensive: Viper v3 pro,
agoia 0.5My MX518 turned 19 this past December.
Agzarah 0.5My mx518 was the best thing ever. Lasted a solid 12 years. Upgraded to the g502. I love the scroll lock, but I prefer the rubberised grip to the 518 scroll wheel over the plasticy wheel on the 502. It wears down strangly and leaves sharp edges Overall though the 502 is the best
AlephBaker 0.5My MX518 wonders who all these young upstart mice think they are. (Though I do miss my trackman marble FX)
AlkalineBrush20 0.5Got one a couple years back for my XP rig, it's the bullet hole looking version and I have the matching G15 with the orange screen. Only issues are with the top buttons and scroll wheel feeling mushy, probably a good cleaning would do the trick.
AManOfManyInterests 0.5Same, I've had my Logitech MX518 for 15 years. Still going strong, good as new. I also have worked from home for the past 6 years so it's been used around 8 hours a day mon-fri in that period of time.
