help Logitech MX518 FAQ

Is the Logitech MX518 a wired or wireless gaming mouse?

Both the original 2005 Logitech MX518 and the 2019 Legendary re-release are strictly wired gaming mice utilizing a braided or rubber USB cable. If you are looking for a wireless equivalent with a similar ergonomic shape, Logitech's G502 Lightspeed is the closest modern counterpart.

What sensor is inside the modern MX518 Legendary?

The 2019 version of the MX518 Legendary features Logitech's HERO (High Efficiency Rated Optical) 16K sensor, providing up to 16,000 DPI. This is a massive upgrade from the original 2005 optical sensor, which maxed out at a modest 1600 DPI.

Does the Logitech MX518 work with Mac computers?

While the MX518 will function as a standard plug-and-play pointing device on macOS, Logitech's G HUB configuration software is primarily designed for Windows. Mac users can map the buttons using third-party software, but native customization is limited compared to Windows environments.

How many programmable buttons are on the Logitech MX518?

The Logitech MX518 features eight programmable buttons, including the standard left and right clicks, a scroll wheel click, and a dedicated DPI shifting button. The thumb area includes additional buttons mapped to move back and forth in web browsers by default.
