Hey!

It seems like my mouse is dying, thats why i try to find a "new" one!
i was searching with google for a mx518 with 1600 dpi, but everywhere i was asking are only the new ones with 1800 dpi available...
thats why i create this topic here, maybe someone can help me to find one, or someone owns a new one or a used one in good shape...

Thanks in advance!!!

It has a different sensor and should give a different feel (ask Laktos,
he is the expert on this). Some swedish stores are still carrying the
rev1 version, or they just suck at updating their websites with
productinfo.

I hope the swedish stores still carrying it, the german stores suck hard on updating their sites, showing info of the 1600dpi and selling the 1800...

Thx mirc

afaik the v3 is sold at roughly 50€ in most stores, the 1600dpi should sell for around 30. But try emailing them and ask to make sure.

(computercity, onoff, teknikmagasinet etc)

If you are from Germany like your Location tells me:

http://217.172.172.50/ywog-p290h256s282-Logitech-MX518-Gamin.html
or
http://www.tecstore.net/Produkt/41815/?piwik_campaign=geizhals.at&piwik_kwd=art

i would prefer tecstore. Already did some deals there.

Btw.Before i would ask if its the 1600dpi version.

Re: in search of a MX 518 1600 dpi

i tested the 1600 dpi version and what can i say about it, i wouldnt call it any optimal for aiming at all, its just fine if u are used to it.

u can however, calculate the exact sensitivity between the 1.6k and the 1.8k ver, just take ur sens * 0.8888
