mx518 or razer deathadder?

by shmoe • 5 Mar 2007, 13:41 • Journals
hi.

i have a problem. my mx510 which i love very much has stopped shooting (left mousebutton nearly broken). now i think about buying a new mouse. perfect choice would be the mx518 i think but the deathadder seems to be a great newcomer so i dont know which one to chose. the money factor isnt important only 10€ difference.

so if anyone of u played with a logitech mouse and chose the deathadder as his new gear pls let me know if it was the right decision.

left mousebutton broken? for some reason i'm not suprised...
mine is broken right now too (mx518) same happened to me already 3 or 4 times with logitech mx510 and mx518 :(

btw if you still got guarantee on your mx510 you might receive a mx518 instead for free, as mx510 is not produced (and sold) any more. I got a mx518 that way.

depends on your wishes.
Low sens = Deathadder>518
Mid sens/high sens = both good.

If you're lowsens find an MX500 imo ;)

But it really depends on personal preference for the shape, size and weight tbh - both are good mice from a performance point of view.

Agree, but the deathadder had the same results as the mx500 in that test, I know you know which one I mean :P
Have you seen that the deathadder was added to the list?

Adacore 5 Mar 2007, 17:43
Yeah, I have. I'm considering looking at getting a Deathadder myself to replace my ancient MX500, but I probably won't because I like the MX500 too much ;D

Yeah im still @ mx500 too, but I wasted money on a G5 so I feel bad about spending money on a mouse again :)
Maybe I will buy that deathadder when the 500 dies.

razer mize are 2 small in almost all dimensions, however i havent tried or seen the deathadder yet, but unix told me it was very light, that coming from someone playing on a diamondback tells me that it is very lightweights.
however i like the mouse to have good weight and shape
so id go for the mx518, it improved my performance a lot

I agree go for the Mx518, I just brought one and it improved my game play by alot!

Deathadder it simply wipes the floor with mx518 in performance and shape it's not even a contest.
