I’ve been using a variant of the Logitech MX-518 on macOS for over a decade, over at least a couple different model names. I usually remap the game-oriented buttons to either system functions (window/app management etc) or navigation (eg Home/Page Up/Page Down for mouse-heavy interaction with long content).
Lately I don’t even use those buttons. And maybe none of these mice have been especially reliable, I’ve had to replace them for cable failure repeatedly. But my muscle memory for the exact design is so strong that it’s hard to imagine adapting to another mouse after all this time.
- twalla 5y agoThey re-issued it! It appears to be sold out though, I also have had great luck with the G400 though I've moved on to the magic trackpad for work and the G Pro Wireless for vidya games (amazing mouse, terrible switches unfortunately) https://www.logitechg.com/en-us/products/gaming-mice/mx518-gaming-mouse.910-005542.html https://www.logitechg.com/en-us/products/gaming-mice/mx518-g... I lent out an MX518 to a neighbor when I was in middle school and we were catching up a few years ago (maybe 15 years after the fact) and he brought up that the mouse, which I had completely forgotten about, finally died.
- eyelidlessness 5y agoThe G400 was one of the other brands I found. I’m amazed anyone made any variation last anywhere close to 15 years. But that’s awesome.
- mattowen_uk 5y agoI had MX-510/518s for YEARS, until I went wireless. I now use a M510 and it's a good replacement. I never used the side buttons though. I just like the weight and shape.
- eyelidlessness 5y agoThat’s one I’ve considered! But despite wiring being the cause of failure for all of my previous Logitech mice, I still prefer wired.
