Best mouse I have ever used

I have had this mouse for over 3 years now and I must say this is the best mouse I have ever used. It has lasted me so long, and it seems to me as if it had never lost a single bit of its original quality. Still runs solid, LOVE the on-the-fly sensitivity switching and task-switching.

When I bought this mouse I believe it was in the $100's so for this price it can't be beat!

Absolutely none!

I have bought 3 more of these for other builds I have put together. I absolutely love this mouse.

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
Why change what isn't broken?

Great update on the classic 510/518 design, better feet as well as a better optical area that allows less dust/animal hair inside of it.

Angle snapping and mouse prediction/correction. Whatever you want to call it, it's terrible, even more so for a "gaming" mouse.

If you're playing an FPS, you want your mouse to go where you aim it, not where it thinks you're going to aim it.

Logitech hasn't released an update (and more than likely won't, seeing as it's a firmware issue and the MX518 can't be flashed because it lacks onboard memory)

It isn't much of an issue if you aren't a "hardcore" gamer, but if you're trying to compete, this mouse puts you at a disadvantage to even people using the original MX518.
