5.0 out of 5 stars Direct descendant of the MX518, August 9, 2011

This review is from: Logitech Optical Gaming Mouse G400 with High-Precision 3600 DPI Optical Engine (910-002277) (Personal Computers)

(What's this?)

I replaced my trusty old MX518 with the new G400. The G400 took zero getting used to because it's the same identical body as the MX518. All the buttons are in the same places, and the outer shell is exactly the same as the MX518, except for the "gun metal" texture of the 518. The G400 has a nice dark gray texture.

The scroll wheel is a lot quieter than the MX518 (no clicking sound, super silent unless you scroll really really fast) but still has the precision "click" feel to it that gamers prefer. As with the MX518, the G400 can switch DPI on the fly, but the other buttons won't do much out of the box unless you download the software from Logitech's website (there is no included CD). They can be programmed by application without downloading the software. I use one of the thumb buttons as a "push to talk" in Ventrilo, and I did not even have to reprogram it when I switched out my old MX518.

Some specs at a glance:
--------------------------------
+ 400-3600 DPI
+ 5.8 megapixels per second tracking
+ 1 millisecond USB report rate
+ 133g total weight
+ lightweight 15g cord
+ 10 million-click button life
+ 250km feet life

The big difference over the MX518 is the 3600 DPI precision--twice that of the MX518--and 1ms response. I've always been a fan on the MX518, and this upgrade to the G400 is very nice, and very affordable. I love it!

Don't you hate reading an Essay format product review to extract key points that can be written in less than a few sentences? I SURE AS HELL DO.
--My Credibility: I have competed in gaming leagues playing Counter-Strike back in the day.
--I have tried out the Logitech G500 & G700 before settling for the G400. Both mice are a little larger and have unnecessary buttons that is not practical. (who the hell needs 10 buttons on a mouse! Incorporate your keyboard! that's the point of your left hand.)


The G400 is the direct successor of the MX518, which is regarded as a legendary mouse among the community. I still use my MX518 at work and its going strong for 6+ years already. The G400 version is actually 10-20% lighter than the MX518.

Who cares about over 900000000 DPI. All the Pro Gamers (even today in Korea) still use basic 2 button mice to game competitively.

Optical vs Laser? The only person who should worry about this is the person who uses their mouse on a glass table, but really who the hell would do that anyways?

"Gaming" mouse vs "Non-gaming" mouse: This is marketing. Buy a mouse based on how it FEELS after extended use and not what others say or how much reviews it has. Don't pay attention to specs. Its the player that wins the game, not the mouse!

Conclusion:
-Solid Build
-Lighter than MX518
-FEELS GOOD
-Looks good
-Works out of the box (no CD package or install required)

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS.
