Hello there. My both mice are both completely fucked up and disconnect every 10 bloody seconds. It’s a nightmare. MX518 and G5. Both have the same problem. Apparently it’s at where the cord is plugged into the mouse. Identical issues on both and both are logitech obviously.

So first question is: Are all Logitech mice behave like that over a 1,5-2 years of usage timespan, or is it just my unbelievable luck? I’ve been using 35cm sensitivity for more than a year so I guess I move them around too much. But blast me if gaming mice aren’t supposed to withstand that kind of usage.

And the second question is in the name of the topic: Which mouse should I choose? Both are the same price here, so I would like to see some opinions of their users. How are they holding up after a long time of usage? And is the logitech cord as shitty as it was for me with my both (I still love them) mice?

TL;DR Post your thoughts on either of the mice, pros cons, and please only if you used (are using) them. Help me buy a better one! Thank you!

Go for the DA, its better. Though If youve been using G5 and Mx518 you could get used to G500 easier…Try them out if you can

also, do you use claw grip or palm grip? DA is better for palmgrippers and if the G500s shape is similiar to G5 it should be comfortable with both

I’ve been using Deathadder for about 2 years now, I haven’t had any problems with it. It tracks smoothly, doesn’t jitter and the cord seems like it has just been dragged out of the box. Furthermore, it’s ergonomical shape is s1ck once you get used to it since both mx518 and g5 are ambidextrous. Oh yeah, I forgot I’m using really low sensitivity which means something aroun 60cm/360°. Can’t recommend any better mice.

That’s a big plus towards DA.

@dvb: What mousemat? I have a 59cm/360 and my razer goliathus large edition and it’s good, but it seems a little bit too small for my aimstyle. I’m new to low sens though so idk.

Xai, best mouse

I’m aiming @ $70 here, so it’s a no. But thx anyway. Just choosing between the two I mentioned. :)

mx510 nothing wrong with it and been using it 6 years or more i think
