Logitech brings back its MX518 mouse with new technology

Logitech announces the rebirth of the Logitech G MX518 gaming mouse. Originally launched in January 2005, the new model has the same shape but delivers a big update in terms of technology. It features the HERO 16K dpi sensor, a big change versus the 1800dpi sensor of the original, and it contains a 32-bit ARM processor for a fast, 1ms report rate.

Other features include eight programmable buttons, onboard memory for storing profiles and preferences, and switchable dpi. Logitech is taking pre-orders for $59.99.

Today we are excited to announce that the new MX518 gaming mouse is now available to fans around the world.

The reborn MX518 retains the same shape and feel of the original that made it famous but is updated to the very latest, next-generation technologies, including HERO 16K sensor and the addition of a 32-bit ARM processor for a super fast 1ms report rate. The MX518 also features eight programmable buttons so you can bind custom commands. With onboard memory, you can also save your preferences directly to the mouse, so you can use it on different systems without the need to install custom software or reconfigure your settings.

But we didn’t just improve the inside. While the shape remains the same, we updated the materials and added an exclusive “Nightfall” finish for a sophisticated and contemporary look when crafting this meticulous evolution of our legendary mouse.
