Logitech is Relaunching the MX518 Gaming Mouse (venturebeat.com)
From a report: Logitech has announced it is bringing back the "legendary" (the company's word, not mine) MX518 gaming mouse. The announcement says "many consider [it] to be the finest gaming mouse of all time." I am definitely one of those people. Logitech first released the MX518 in 2005, as the successor to the already-pretty-good MX510 gaming mouse released in 2004. The MX518 was around for six years before Logitech tried to replace it with the G400 gaming mouse in 2011. I say "tried" because, well, it just wasn't the same. Logitech has finally admitted as much, after eight years of trying. The company is promising that the reborn MX518 will have the same shape and feel as the original. The materials have been updated, and there's a new "Nightfall" finish but, crucially, it's still an MX518.
Pro Tip, keep the Cat(s) out of the gaming room. Cables last longer without Cats. Also for Mice cables, make sure they have enough slack for free movement.
One of Apples biggest mistake in mice design, isn't the one button, but the tiny little cable, that didn't allow for a wide range of movement.
If something is so important that you feel the need to post it on the internet... It probably isn't that important.
