Reviewer Comments
The Good: Extremely comfortable. Fits perfectly to the contours of your hand. On the fly DPI switching. Easy to setup and use software. Side buttons for use with applications or games. Paintjob is so realistic, I really thought someone whacked the mouse repeatedly before shipping.
The Bad: Can get dirty from normal use. Logitech application switch feature can cause lag in games. Only intended for right-handed users.
Conclusion: The MX518 has an incredible selection of features. From the adjustable sensitivity and side buttons all the way to the fast switching DPI feature. The affordable price is just another perk to this amazing mouse. The MX518 is definitely the perfect mouse for the right handed gamer.
