Logitech MX518 Optical Mouse

The Logitech MX518 Gaming-Grade Optical Mouse puts control at your fingertips. With one click, you can instantly increase and decrease mouse resolution from as high as 1600 dpi to as low as 400 dpi. And, no software is required.

The corded Logitech MX518 Gaming-Grade Optical Mouse builds upon the success of the award-winning Logitech MX510 Optical Mouse, adding even more power and control than Logitech's previous gaming mouse. The new generation of the MX optical engine uses a 16-bit format to send data -- the typical mouse uses 8 bits -- enabling the mouse to transmit 8,000 bits of information per second.

Without starting new process, the two buttons above and beneath the mouse's scroll wheel increase and decrease the mouse resolution during game play to three preset resolutions -- 1600, 800 and 400 dots per inch. With the Logitech SetPoint software, a gamer can program as many as five levels of resolution, ranging from 400 dpi to 1600 dpi. The mouse features a total of eight buttons, including left and right key plates, which can be set to represent different commands using the SetPoint software.

The suggested retail price for the Logitech MX518 Gaming-Grade Optical Mouse is $49.99 in the U.S.
