logitech mouses

by smu • 21 Oct 2008, 10:52 • Journals
ye i know this may be old
but, whats the best logitech? mx518,g5,g9? going to buy one of these, but cant decide which one.
my current saitek dies atm, sometimes freezing for some seconds or going to the right side if i strafe to the left :-(
i dont want a razer, tried at a friend and it felt ugly for me. this logitech thingies feel similiar to my current mouse.
so just say, which one should i buy? i prefer mx518 because of the price, but i also heard it isnt that stable. and which mousepad should i use in connection?

The only difference between MX510 and MX518 are the shape and setpoints.

I guess learnt is right as I think learned is an adjective.
Parent

learnt is best, but learned wont be bad.
Although it's an adjective.

mice is the only one btw.

QuoteIn computing, a mouse (plural mice, mouse devices, or mouses) is a pointing device that functions by detecting two-dimensional motion relative to its supporting surface.

That's called American English, here in Europe we talk with British English.

Based on the last 156 mouse journals I have to say: mx518.

overdrive 21 Oct 2008, 12:36
mx518 is technically superior compared to g5 and g9. both G5 and G9 are laser and dont track well at higher speeds. They also suffer from high liftoff distances, meaning your crosshair will shake and move when lifting your mouse. There is no reason to buy g9 unless you prefer the crappy shape and the sensor not being in the middle.

Ofcourse most of the negative aspects of G series are only noticable to med and low sensers, but seeing they are way more expensive then mx518, there really is no point in buying a technically inferior product.

g5 laser isnt in the center aswell, personally i cant think of any reason why the laser not being in the center can effect anything
