Logitech readies top gaming mouse

Sensitive to twitches and whiskers

By Charlie Demerjian: Monday 17 January 2005, 10:09
LOGITECH IS ABOUT TO CHANGE gaming peripherals once again with a new mouse. One of the things it did not announce at CES was the new 518 mouse. This successor to the MX510 gaming mouse combines the best of the older one, the laser technology from the MX1000, and has a new twist.

The twist is adjustable DPI, intended for the gamer. The 518 has a hardware switch that will instantly change the sensitivity from 800 to 1200 to 1600DPI. Need twitchy response for fast maneuvering, done. Slow things down for sniping? Done. Overall, a really bright idea, I look forward to Logitech announcing it. µ

Hmmm, I had to switch from the Razer to the MX700 last night because it was just frustrating me when it came to sensitivity.  Might have to look at this.

I now have a new Vid Card on the way.

I tried running BF2 and it wouldn't run with my existing card because it only had 64MB of VRAM.

I talked to the Mrs. and I am now ordering this card.

It is on it's way for a total of $147, including NextDay shipping AND rush order option.  It should be here tomorrow, and I will be fragging like mad!!

let's see how my performance in the games will improve now that there is no video lag!

No prob. For me, I just ordered some fan filters because I am getting way too much dust into my system and I was looking for a way to keep it a little more clean.

One of the things Z insisted on is having 256 Mb Ram in the card.

Too Bad for $20 more I would get this one


Actually, that would be $50 more.  Mine was only $119.   AND, that has only 128MB onboard.
