MX 518 with a new name

as years of Logitech users (beginning with the MX510 over the MX518, last G5 Laser Mouse) I wanted after my G5 2 weeks before now-familiar Logitech mice cable break-Death is back to drive, giving the company again have a chance and the G400s have ordered , The G500s, quasi the second successor of the G5, I have not at all only be considered, as I quickly realized with the G5 but that a laser mouse like me fidgety reacts at a Grobmotoriker in movements, "features" as variable weights as they have the G5 and the successors of those who I do not need, although I even quite like to play a game. Even the variable DPI adjustment never came with me to use, quite frankly, with any halfway good FPS already slows the game itself from the mouse when creating the sniper rifle.

So for G400s: this has the exact same size and design as the MX 518, the only difference: the surface is roughened now what I personally feel is a lot more comfortable than the smooth surfaces of the MX510 and MX518 models predecessors that sticks hand, just in the current outside temperature, no longer so unpleasant firmly to the mouse. Thus is the G400s, also due to the proven design, impeccable in his right hand, left-handed, this mouse is not suitable. In my model, all keys sit tight, the pressure point is minimal stronger than its predecessors, but it can also be subjective, previous models were all with me in continuous use and therefore probably worn out. Only the "middle" mouse button so the mouse wheel, pressing a little too hard at my copy for my taste. The wheel itself has a stronger screening than their predecessors, I personally like the way better than if I get too little feedback from the scroll wheel. The connection cable is similar to thin, as in the G5 rather strange, fuzzy fabric insulation as with the latter, is here again a cable was fitted with rubber insulation. Is now located on the mouse a kink protection if proven this combination and lasts longer than in the G5 (almost exactly 4 years), has yet to be seen.

The very old models (MX510) then still had these mini Gleitfüsschen at the bottom, which mostly fell off after one year usage, this problem has already been eliminated in the MX518 (larger sliding surfaces) and has been maintained even in the G400s, here should ( hopefully) no problems. Two criticisms have come to mind: the price is a bit too steep for this mouse (the predecessor G400 there after only 35 but this has probably the broken cable problem) and as a result of this high price, I would have an optical dpi display, similar to the G5 / G500 desired, so you can see that the resolution in which stage you are currently in, which have now even OEM mice, which are a complete system supplied with known PC manufacturers. The supplied software I have not even installed, just plugged in, the mouse was immediately recognized by Windows 7 without any problems. Overall, mainly thanks to the excellent ergonomics, a recommended mouse, only especially the high price made me initially a little quarrel. Whether it fulfills the important point durability, is yet to be seen.
