A long time ago, in an age almost forgotten by some, there was a magical mouse. It was just perfect: the shape, the weight, and every feature you could ever want in a mouse.

A long time ago, in an age almost forgotten by some, there was a magical mouse. It was just perfect: the shape, the weight, and every feature you could ever want in a mouse. Those who didn't have one, coveted one. At least among my circle of friends.

Logitech tried hard in the last 12-odd years to recreate the magic. They got close, but never really managed to. And so the MX518 has been reborn.
