This is the mouse that 30 year old boomer gamers refer to when they say, 'They don't make them like they used to'.

Fuck. When she mentioned the MX518, I started typing a comment about how great a mouse it was when I heard her say the above. 30 year old boomer? I'm a 37-year old millennial, dammit. Get off my virtual lawn, child.

For real though, the MX518 and G15 were an iconic pair for me. I got the G15 back when I worked IT for a game developer. I pulled it out of a tech recycling bin with the WASD keys completely worn off and probably over a million keypresses logged since it was unboxed. I used that keyboard for another million, easy.

Nowadays, I still use a G910 keyboard because I map PS scripts and Windows hotkeys to the macro buttons, but I gave up on Logitech mice because the buttons kept failing after a couple years. I'm currently using a Razer Basilisk.
