|  Logitech G5 or MX518??? Its not easy choice Ok im buying a keyboard and mouse I'm buying a saitek eclipse for my keyboard, but for the mouse im stuck between two logitech mouses. Logitech MX518 The MX518 has a couple extra buttons and i love the way it looks. Logitech G5 The G5 provides more dpi and comes with adjustable weights. Tough call, which would you choose?

 | Re: Logitech G5 or MX518??? Its not easy choice as san mentioned, there is a G5 with two side buttons ( which addresses the main weakness that the previous G5 had, a really bad decision move by logitech, but many people with fat thumbs complained they would hit the second side button by accident with the MX518 ). However the MX-518 and G5 feel significantly different, the G5 uses an anti-grease rubber material that feels like a bottom of a rubber boot. I for one don't really like it compared to the smooth plastic feel of the MX-518, my advice is to try both out at a store and take whichone u think feels better. |

  | Re: Logitech G5 or MX518??? Its not easy choice I would go with the mx518....i like how it has a smoother feel then the G5, and also, 1600 and 2000 DPI is not much difference, especially when you can turn up the sensitivity in pretty much every game. MX518 FTW!!!

| Re: Logitech G5 or MX518??? Its not easy choice MX518, I like the two side buttons, you use them in games with crouch and prone, and you go from either postion really fast. And when you add jumping into the mix (BF2  ) you are like impossible to hit. |

Plus it uses a laser, at 2000DPI and adjustable weight and adjustable sensitivity between 5 levels (or 3 without installing software)
