Logitech MX 518 is one of the best gaming mice you can buy within your price range

I have this mouse, and my only complaint is that the wheel in the middle will occasionally register two 'rolls', when i only advanced it one time.

However, it appears that I am in the minority as it does have great reviews.

Surely get the MX518.. Even if you take out the price point, it is the best gaming mouse till date (and I won't even care to add IMO to that statement)..

I agree w/ Maz ... love the 518 buy em, for office and home. Especially like the "beat up" look of it. Usually get it for about $35, it's $29 after MIR

Also check out the G500 available now for $40 after $20 MIR which I admit, I like a bit better after building a box for my son's friend with one.

Hey everyone - allow me to chime in that this is a really good mouse. I got one last christmas and actually wrote a MX 518 Review at that link. The three plastic pads on the bottom of the mouse are WAY slick so you don't need a mousepad and for me, the best feature is the + / - buttons that let you speed up or slow down the mouse sensitivity in game. This helps a lot with games like GTA IV on steam where sometimes the games don't seem to match up right with our hardware. Also it has enough buttons that I can hot key everything too the mouse / shift mouse in Healbot when I play WoW which is helpful.

I have never had a super elite trackball or gaming mouse, but for like 40 bucks, the MX 518 is probably the best mouse I have ever had.
