A 14 Year Old Mouse That's STILL Amazing! Logitech MX510

[@fDieHard]

I still use MX518. It will never die.

[@adamnagy5773]

same, never had any problems, mine is like 8 years old, still love it

[@TapDancingOnYoFace]

except angle snapping/prediciton and 125hz polling rate

[@CarthSader]

I still use too, love it!

[@kubiaxk]

@@TapDancingOnYoFace overclock it. Was playing 500Hz since 2011 or so when I found tutorial how to overclock

[@MidSpecBenchmarks]

Same here, for 10 years, works flawlessly. Batman edition. :)

[@MikeiusOfficial]

I've been using the same MX510 mouse since 2004. It is by far the most ergonomic, perfectly weighted mouse I've ever had. The thumb groove allows you to relax your grip and flick the mouse in your palm, passing it back and forth between your thumb and your pinkie for some super precise left-to-right micro-movements. Never been able to do it with aything else.

[@DawidDoesTechStuff]

I had one forever. It was great, but I had to replace it when it became more congealed sweat than actual mouse.

[@Clobercow1]

You're that guy who has three inches of cheeto dust, broken nails, and boogers in the keyboard right?

[@chloemcholoe3280]

omfg I laughed so hard, Yes same for me.

if you still have it just do disassemble. It's really simple to do. Clean it. Put it back together and you can still rock it as backup or in work or smthin.

[@eerieyellowlights]

I have an MX510 that my dad gave me in 2006, still use it to this day. I rarely even think about it since it's been such a phenomenal peripheral, but every once and awhile I look down and it and reflect on how long I've been using it. I'm 32 now, meaning that at this point I have used this mouse for half of my entire life.

[@LionerxD]

still using my MX518! still working like day one

[@Sol_Black]

Still using 518 as well. great mouse :)

[@nagorak666]

I don't understand why Logitech abandoned the shape of the MX518? Some people still swear by this old mouse. They should have made a modern follow up, maybe a wireless version. I only recently stopped using mine because I wanted to cut the cord, and wireless tech had finally reached the point where you can do so without sacrifices. But the mouse was a tank. It stood up for years. Even after more than a decade on it was still going strong...unlike the Microsoft Intellimouse Explorers I had before it which wouldn't last more than about three years before crapping out.

[@MNewton]

I used a 518 to click reply! Love this mouse... i keep thinking about replacing it because surely some day it will break but still works great for me.

[@TehThespian]

+nagorak666 Looking at it, the G502 isnt all that different shape wise and its fantastic

[@8100rpm]

nagorak666 the 2.0 version is out i think

[@ChrisChevs]

A few years ago they were reselling on ebay for 300-400 bucks it was nuts.

[@ImpreccablePony]

This is kind of funny. I came to this video to see how MX510 -- which I use right now -- compares and I am flattered. It's been more than 10 years before my mouse started to act up giving me double clicks and RMB drag not working so I wanted to see what others think. As I said, I am glad to know everyone loves it. It is so good although all this time I really thought it was a gaming mouse.

[@HollowRick]

I was using the 510 until around the time of this video when it died :/ thankfully I found out about the Legendary MX518 Refresh had to import it from Asia 😐 but it's still working perfectly 5 years later 😁

[@hanes2]

Still have my MX510 as my secondary. A blue one.

[@mlsterlous]

No joke guys. I bought my mx510 2004 or 2005, not sure, I think for 42euro. And it still works same as all these years. I changed 3 computers but not mouse. And I'm not a light user. Was playing fps games many years. 20~ years in service, I love this mouse.

[@HollowRick]

Mine lasted from 2004 to 2019 I was quite sad as there was nothing like it shape wise on the market anymore then I saw Logitech were re releasing the MX518 pre ordered it and I've been using it since then I hope I can get another half a decade out of the new one

[@anxdmeme4208]

The MX510 looks better the most mice today, I love the look.

[@johnmcgowan2585]

I have 2 old MX-500's that still work like new even though they have been used heavily. I love the look and feel of these mice. They also have a nice heft to them that feels just right.

[@Jar0815]

I have the blue one and use it since it came out in 2004. It's the best mouse I ever had and i hope I can get another great 18 years out of it. Since it performs as good as day one I'm not worried. Thanks for remembering the classic.

[@amirulizzat7395]

i still have the MX518.. the nokia 3310 of mouse, it can't die.

[@dubbeh]

still using mine after 10+ years, although i have had 5 new usb cables and 1 new micro switch. worth every penny i paid all those years ago and it will go on for many more. 10/10

[@joseb.junior1455]

I am a proud owner of a g400 for 6 years, never gave me a problem. I bought it with a 3-year warranty, it continues to get support and update by logitech software, and boy, I do not change it for any rbg rainbows nowadays.

[@SteveMavronis]

MX518 is great also!

[@mel1552]

with you there bud over the year's i've gone through 3 MX518 it's the best i've ever used and i've tried plenty i'm still on the lookout for another one as a back up lol

[@SteveMavronis]

Me too they are solid and does everything you need along with button assignments. In my new build I went with a Corsair Raptor M45 Wired Optical Mouse to go with my Vengeance K70 Mechanical Keyboard. When I had the MX518 it was paired with Logitech's G15 LED Programmable Keyboard. They were both so great.

[@ZeroB4NG]

MX500, MX510 and MX518 were all never versions of each other, there is no "this is a gaming mouse and this isn't"... they all are, the DPI differences was just the rat race between vendors that needed to push higher DPI numbers on the boxes each new refresh that they've put out. By now we all know polling rate is a much more important metric than DPI. I still play Quake Champions at 800 dpi ... even though my mouse can do 20 times that.

[@rredureis]

Exactly, the mx518 was not available when i bought my mx510

[@toxy3580]

The mx518 has a shit sensor... of course they are newer versions, the 518 has 125hz polling rate and angle snapping, it's terrible.

[@karelkubasek8340]

Yeah, as someone who owned an MX 500 & later MX 510 this really bugged me.

[@noppa82]

And somehow i still used the old mx518(competitive cs 1.6 / Source on a pretty high level) about 13 years and didn't see any difference when i upgraded it to the new mx518 legendary week ago, just felt 100% same...

[@newdeep19]

Don't forget to use the ps/2 adapter so much lower latency for this mouse

[@mikebaillargeon4127]

I've had my MX5-10 since it's launch.... and it's now 2021..... i't even got to spend a decade jammed in a not, in a box... to be pulled out every once in a while when I needed one. and it still works like a charm...

[@Bandersnatch786]

Ahh... good ol' memories of using the MX510 while playing Guild Wars. Simpler times... Simpler times. Also, while the MX518 was a "gaming" mouse, Logitech didn't really go full gaming with the MX line until they brought out the G5, which is the MX510 shape with a better sensor and it was the first mouse to feature adjustable weights and DPI buttons. The general ergonomics of this line of mice has been carried forward with the majority of their mice for both gaming and productivity. I'm currently trying to find a suitable replacement for my G700s and test driving a Razer Basilisk Ultimate, but no matter what, the comfort of the G700s far exceeds the Basilisk. I don't know if I'll be able to permanently make the switch.

[@madekillasam1553]

I found this 1 or 2 years ago, and it's my go to mouse since.

[@CaptainKent]

I've owned 3 MX510's and STILL to this day the MX510 has been the best mouse I've ever used. Please promote this mouse design and help convince Logitech to re-release this mouse! :D

[@Wolferey]

Had an MX518, seriously the best mouse I have ever had period. Just the perfect ergonomics, amount of buttons, feel, everything. Really wish Logitech went back to that style, every mouse I've had since have never felt right in my hand ;/

[@Drinkyoghurt]

I still have a G5 from 2004 at my parents place. This thing cost 54 euros new and held up well for a good 12 years before I moved on to the G502 and G603 for traveling. The G5 had issues with the scroll wheel after 10 years and after 12 years the switches also didn't function that well. However, I spent many long gaming sessions with it daily and at about 4,50 euros a year, or just about 1 cent per day it's been a pretty good investment. I feel like my G502 will hold up just as well, if not better.

[@Heru3005]

Used an MX518 for quite a few years back in the day until I sold it to my brother in law. Still regret that. Ended up picking up a G400, which is pretty much a MX518 in a different shell. Now days I use a G900, but if i had not sold the MX518 back then, i'd likely still be using it tbh.

[@sienimiesh]

I still don't get why Logitech ditched that legendary uncomparable form factor that came with MX510,MX518,G500,G500S. I've even contacted them directly and asked if theres ANY units left anywhere to be purchased.

[@ecapsdira]

It's possible they're doing a refresh sometime soon. At some point the newer Logitech software had a "G MX518" listed under supported mice. Could've been a typo, but worse case scenario Nixeus Revel Ergo will be a close copy of that old shape whenever it comes out

[@EasyMoneySG]

you can find used ones on Amazon

[@herrointernet3030]

The nixeus revel fit is coming out soon, it's a copy of the MX518 but it has a modern sensor pmw 3360.

[@greatvaluebleach5448]

Now, there's two new options, the Logitech G MX518, and the Nixeus REVEL Fit. They both have top sensors (Hero 16K / PMW3360), but the G MX518 is only available in Asia.

[@Durbrukh]

[@cyrusfr]

[@Ultramesh]

I've this week bought a Logitech G305 Wireless gaming mouse. It is a good mouse, but you can see how they have cut costs over the years when comparing this to my all time favorite Logitech, the VX Nano which unfortunatly is no longer made. That worked like a charm and fitted way better in the hand. Any mouse over time if used daily will fail eventually. The older ones were I guess over-engineered compared to some modern ones.

[@Sgtpeterenis]

First off: try the MX Anywhere! It's really not fair to judge a mouse's quality based on how it fits your hand, since that's a very individual thing. Sure, some mice are just a bad shape no matter what, but the 305 doesn't seem to be a complete mess - just not right for you. It's also a full size mouse (I think?) and the nano is obviously a small mouse. That's why I'd recommend the MX Anywhere, it seems much closer to the nano.

[@SamoMalo2]

Older ones were made to last while new ones need to survive the 2-3 year guarantee and then die.

[@Neocray1]

I was a great fan of the VX Nano I was using for years before my wife weared it out in a matter of weeks… The MX Anywhere is actually a pretty good replacement when it comes to form factor, even if I miss the little housing to hold the USB receiver.

[@SevenDeMagnus]

Hi. I still have my MX510 (modded to have thicker wires at the front), I hope I can find original Teflon feets for it (any idea) and I still use it for gaming during sundays on Boot Camp Windows 10 (I'm a Mac guy, meaning I use macOS for work and social media and bank log ins coz' it's safer against keyloggers). Is the MX510, Logitech's true gaming mouse? God bless, Rev. 21:4

[@MrZombie999]

Used to have that mouse until the dog decided it looked tasty, It was an awesome mouse both comfortable and the (for me) perfect weight) except the side buttons could have been better.

[@luckyqualmi]

Still have two MX518 in daily use since their release. Best shape for palmgrip imho and working on most surfaces, while others like my Mionix Castor need a good mouspad. Btw. the MX518 also got an updated sensor for 1800dpi a year or two after the initial launch.

[@JS-ob2xt]

I've had my MX518 for years and never thought anything of it but this video made me realize its age and just how well it has held up. The soft coat rubber has all worn off but it functions just as well as it did on day one. Amazing quality.

[@marduke83]

I didn't have a mx510, but had a g500 and used it the other day after about 10 years , and I was amazed how good it felt.. I wish Logitech made mice like that again with newer switches, lighter etc.

[@keenanpereira8959]

Was so happy to see this video. Ben using the mx518 for the longest time and considering to move up to the the new performance top of the line one, this one works just fine and it's taken all the abuse over the years.

I have a MX518 with 1800dpi and I still love it. I bought it 2007 and I use it on my PC for productivity and my only bought a G510 to plug in to my XIM4. A good mouse will last you decades.

[@MobileTootGundam]

For anyone that want's to buy an MX518 today, you have two options: 1. Buy a B-stock off of Amazon, Ebay, or Newegg 2. Wait for the Nixeus Revel Ergo(MX518 clone)

[@PioVisaya]

I bought the MX518 when it came out and mine is still working, however I tested it in 2017 and it has angle snapping and a high liftoff distance which I cannot go back to. Ergonomics and build quality are remarkable. My favorite shape over the years has been the wide grip Logitech g9 (RIP) and my current favorites are my Corsair M65 Pro and Zowie EC1-A.

[@housesg5981]

Mx518 was my first gaming mouse, then bought the g400, g400s, then the hyperion... all are decedents of the mx518 and all were crap. Only the latest g403 superceeded the mx518 because my mx518 was so stained with sweat from 9 years of usage.

The Logitech MX500 (on which all MX5xx are based) is the best mouse ever built. It's design, durability, grip and just the right amount of functionality with top notch software. There are some better mice in specific categories but they all lose to MX500 overall.

[@brandonp3354]

Couldn't agree more. I have tried a lot of mice over the years but alway came back to my trusty MX518 for comfort. I'm no MLG pro gamer, the DPI and polling rate are no issue to me.

[@WhyAreTheyOverHere]

I agree. I owned the mx510, mx518, and the G400s mice. Except for the dpi they are the same. The shape and weight are key. I own new back-up mx518 and G400s because no other mouse ever suited me. The mx518's and C400s mice are still available new.

[@galland101]

I'm an owner of a Logitech MX518, G5 Second Edition, and a G403. I actually owned the G5 Second Edition for a number of years before I got a MX518 at work. The G5 Second Edition has a number of features that make it more of a "gaming" mouse than the MX518. It has a set of adjustable weights, a laser sensor (a "plus" at the time), as well as 3 sensitivity settings you can set on the fly. It also has a textured finish that supposedly gives you a better grip and a sort-of braided cable. The G5 Second Edition is built like a tank and it still works to this day, although the case does show some signs of wear around the sensitivity indicator lights and the braided cable seems to be fraying by being bunched up in a twist tie for so many years. It outlived 2 Razer Deathadder mice and still works without any problems. I am now using a Logitech G403 and I like the feel of it. I honestly wasn't too impressed with the MX518. It felt like a fairly mediocre mouse after using the G5 Second Edition for so long. What bothered me the most was that the MX518 has a glossy finish which I think contributes to a lot of grime buildup around the buttons and thumb rest. Like the MX510 in the video, the paint around the logo was also coming off. I think it was also prone to unnecessarily filtering your input and I don't think that's correctable without some sort of 3rd party driver software, which I avoid installing.

Nothing beats my MX518. But after 10 years of heavy use, it died in 2015. Because I was in university and did not have a Desktop-PC, I didn't buy a new gaming mous but only used the office wireless keyboard-mouse-kit by microsoft. Finally bought a new mouse a few weeks ago. Sharkoon Drakonia black. I'm in heaven, since it is a good mouse while I did not realize how much the shitty rodent bugged me. But it is not as good as the MX518. The shape is slightly off. It sounds idiotic, but I really miss it. Sometimes I take it out and have a grip at the old master.

[@annalaurie741]

I have an MX510 which I think is also about 14 years old. I'm not a gamer, just a computer user. It seems that something has finally gone wrong with my mouse and I think it is the cable where it connects to the body of the mouse. When the mouse is moved, or if I move the cable up and down, it disconnects and connects randomly and makes its connecting and unconnecting sounds. Do you think I could get it fixed? Would it be worth it? I love my mouse (it's one of the last things my hubby bought before departing from this life :) ). I had just discovered the use of the next/previous buttons, and found those very useful. Should I just look for another one and if so, what would you recommend? Thanks for your video - it was very good to know I had something special!

[@danc1513]

Still have my mx510. Still the best mouse I've ever owned. The statement that the mx510 isn't a gaming mouse is outright silly. The mx518 replaced the mx510. They weren't sold alongside each other. You really should do your research.

One thing I learned in owning a gaming mouse is to not get a ruberrized textured mouse. Eventually the rubber will corrode because of sweat and oils. I had to clean my mouse recently and the disgusting rubber material became sticky. I had to use generous amounts of alcohol just to clean it. Now it's just bare plastic but admitedly it feels better and looks better. Just wish companies research the longetivity of materials used before putting it on an expensive product.

I had the MX518. It still actually works after 8 years of gaming, but my cousin had left it outside in the Indian sun so the rubber areas are all half melted now.

I'm still using a 2nd gen Logitech G5. Going on 11 years with it and it still works perfectly. Logitech knew how to make a solid mouse back then.

I loved the fact that I could keep my ring finger on that little ledge on top of the mouse which was way more comfortable than any other mouse for me. I don’t understand why seemingly most gaming mice has a shape that flares out towards the front of the mouse, makes absolutely no sense from an ergonomic perspective...

Still using my MX500. So that's now 15 years. Though I had to repair one of the switches and clear out all the dust. Only the fact that lots of mice are now wireless could tempt me to switch.

I've been telling my brother that I'd by a refreshed version of the MX518 with upgraded sensors in a heartbeat.

Oh dat color, so sexy. I have this mouse in blue around 12 years ago.

[@TheIdiotPlays]

Had mine until 5 years ago when the cable broke :( I tried to fix it but the cable was a bit hard to route without making it fragile so I just gave up on it. I really really regret it now since that was the BEST feeling mouse I've ever had.

I used mx518 since 2009 I think until 2018/9. Broke cable 1 time l, cleaned it 2-3times. My skates wore of... But it still works. I will keep it as backup mouse, or I'll take it to work as work mouse. Upgraded to G403Wireless, its nice mouse. But I liked ergonomics on MX518 more. If they rereleased Mx518 with hero or pwm 3366 and wireless would buy it instantly.

Been using my MX518 for at least 10 years. I've taken it apart and cleaned it, and put new pads on the bottom. I replaced the cable, but the crappy chinese replacement cable died in a week so I switched back to the original cable. I would like to take it apart again soon so I can put some graphite powder in the scroll wheel mechanism.

close to a million brother continue creating great content

[@TheWarmestFuzzy]

Like so many others I still have one of these in good working condition. Great mouse, no gimmicks, just well-made and comfortable.

[@bloodlust1000]

Still got mine and still game with it. All the buttons and the scroll wheel are still working. It's a bit dirty on the outside, but I keep the inside clean and the pads have a lot of wear on them but they are still decent. I want to get my hands on the brand new MX518 hero that was just released in Asia.

I actually had the G400s as my first gaming mouse and I really liked its size that just lets my palm rest on it easily~ but I have to give it up for warranty (check out Logitech's 3 year warranty, very useful). Lasted me just a month before its 3 year mark and got a g402 as a replacement, which is still pretty awesome~ Logitech all the way! Edit on 2 years later, folded in and now waiting for the Logitech MX518 Legendary and arrive 😂

[@phucnguyen0110]

I remembered searching so hard for this particular MX510 because there were no MX518/G5 available - back in my highschool days 7-8 years ago

[@yaskazal]

I upgraded from the MX518 to the Logitech G PRO Wireless last week. Certainly the wireless functionality is the main reason I switched. The 518 unfortunately doesn't slide as well, even after cleaning the feet. Dirt builds up along where the button edges meet the housing and is quite difficult to clean, and the rubber grip finish is worn through in places. The MX518 is also heavier, and the design of the optical sensor 'hole' means that dust (and in my case, pet hair) find its way inside and frustrate the experience. I also prefer the scroll wheel on the G PRO Wireless. Certainly not everyone should rush out to buy a 200 CAD gaming mouse, but my positive experience with the MX518 since its release is my primary factor for trusting Logitech to give me at least another decade with the new one. Plus, now I can bring the 518 to work... will have the best mouse in the office by far!

Wow, lighting in a mouse is REALLY NECESSARY!
