my mosue collection:
Microsoft Intellimouse Optical 1.1A
Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer 3.0
Microsoft Interllimouse Explorer 3.0 SS
Logitech MX510
Logitech MX518
Logitech G5 (original)
Razer Krait
Razer DeathAdder
Razer DeathAdder CPL
SteelSeries Ikari Optical
SteelSeries Ikari Laser

currently using razer salmosa, and ordered a custom io 1.1 from dukeboss, should be here about two weeks.

as you can see, i had mx518 before, the old one which is featured 1600 dpi, I just wondering how good is it, only 200 dpi more and still using the 518 sensor?

I just check on newegg, the new 518 is 29.99 after rebate and free shipping, thats y im considering buying it

i have the new mx518 but i only play on 400 dpi and the other problem was the G feet, I got hyperglides because people said they were the same for the G5 and G7 but they were slightly different. I just put them ontop of the originals, I dont care much its the best mouse i ever used. I used all the mouses that u have exept the ikari.

The new MX518 got the same sensor as the DA. I have the Batman edition (with "G feet"), but I don't use it since I got a Krait. MX518 is a superb mouse, no doubts, but Krait offers less weight.

You have plenty of mice... pick one.

I've heard that before #3. Please post proof that the new mx518 has the same sensor as the DA plz. I'm pretty sure I've seen that proved wrong before. Just because it has the same advertised DPI doesn't mean it has the same sensor...

lol it doesnt have the same sensor as the deathadder, the deathadder is infrared, the 518 is clearly optical, I have the new one with the G feet, its optical PZ.

Do those new "G" feet is good with mx518 batman ? Are they the same like logitech g5?

I have the new mx518 which has 1800 dpi, but I play on 400 dpi 2.1 ingame sens, But I use my IE 1.1 > all Sorry to say..

I think the mx518 batman and mx with gseries feet use the g5 sensor since it says 2000 dpi in setpoint(though that might just be a bug) the mx518 1800dpi uses the same sensor as deathadder which is Avago 3688 because there is no other sensor the same as deathadder and has 1800dpi though the mx518 only runs at 125hz that's probably the reason why it doesn't feel the same.

#9 but logitech mx518 has red illumination and deathadder hasn't

they aren't the same sensor. stick with whatever feels best you already got 20 mice.

/close thread

i got it after i RMA'ed my other broken one. sadly the new 1800 dpi broke again as usual.. this time the right click just wouldnt work, not like the other times where it died.

Ur mouse is not the problem ur just terrible.... srry 2 say after u had that many

oh yes, why didn't i think of that? you are such a genius. it can be proven 100% sure that my mx518 breaks because i am bad at a video game.

I dont think he was talking to you...

Its upto you buy it. mx518 sensor is reallyy good and according to the ereality test it beats it counterparts like razer krait,copperhead.In my previous comment i wrote than mx518 is better than 3.0,1.1 etc u cant really compare the two cuz the mx518 test was done on 1600 dpi and if the 518 uses the 400 dpi sensor like the mx500 then it is not much of a difference,the perfect control is the same.About the deathadder sensor i am not really sure but some people claim than the 518 sensor is exactly the same at deathadder which i now doubt cause they both use different technology.

#16 WRONG

you wont need more dpi get over it.

#16 is actually correct.. either way, if you try to OC the mx518 you will NOT see a change in performance. also, the durability for my 518's didnt last so long and i kept real good care of them...

can some one show me this new mx518 i would very much so like to see it

Oh... I know its illeagal but i'd hit that twice and then some!

google mx518 refresh or batman edition

batman?
didnt he die??

"I'm the best there is at what I do, but what I do isn't very nice"

i upgraded my mx510 to mx518 when the 510 edition broke. my only freakin complain is that whenever i go to clean it i always accidently adjusted the dpi setting and its freakin annoying!!! ok thank is all

#13 omg im so terrible cuz i have like 20+ mice, im so terrible i have the money to spend, im so terrible that im not play cs only, im so terrible that ppl just give pure opinion, im so terrible that if you wanna play one on one wih me i gonna pwn u.

lol its gotfrag.. you expect pricks to comment...

indeed its "gotf4g", once awhile you will see some f4g liek #16 lawl, which is ignorance

u already have soo many mouses...why do u want another....instead get a better mousepad or headset

only difference is dpi. you'll get slightly more IPS at 1800dpi but who cares you'd have to literally toss your 518 across a 3 foot long mousepad before it locks up on you.

#28, cool, so the only diff is the dpi huh

deathadderowns all !

can you update us on your barbie collection?

#36 ROFL !!

What does one sensor reading an infrared beam. The other reading a red beam. Have to do with the
sensors being different? Mice can have the same optical sensor and different sources of illumination.

Death Adder uses infrared led MX518 uses a red led. I'll open up my MX518 and see what it has.

A3080E
B0736C

What it said on top so it's a 3080 sensor from Avago.

S3668
B0264C

Is the Death Adder's one.

Perhaps you should stick to one mouse. They don't make that big of a difference in gaming. It's getting used to them that makes the difference :o

#38 Agilent 3080

pretty sure the mouse isn't going to stop your sucking at video games, just use one of the ones you have dillweed.

Listen to Bewton...

gotfrag makes my trigger finger itchy!

holy shit, look how many mice u got there.. just use one of those, you obviously DO NOT need any more.. but whatever makes u happy.. NERD COUGH*

i has a crayonzzzzzzz

Avago/Agilent

http://www.avagotech.com/pages/en/navigat..

Still both together? I thought they've parted ways.

H4tw

its cool my bro use that1...

I though avago bought out agilent maybe I wrong.

The new one is awesome. I'm using it right now.

If you already have the old version, it might not be worth it to get the new one. If I didn't have either one and had to choose I would choose the newer one. The G-5 styled feet feels better on my QCK.

my mouse collection

microsoft intellimouse optical 1.1
microsoft intellimouse optical 1.1 SE (working)
microsoft intellimouse optical 1.1 SE (broke)

honestly do you need all of those? one part about being a good gamer, which most of the people that come on this site either are or want to be one, is being consistent with you're settings. pick one, stick with it
