Nice, finally a proper (well, we'll see if it's proper or not) MX518 clone.

 

Looks shorter lengthwise than the MX518.

Or is it just the viewing angle of the render?

 

keep the thumb groove without the 'bump' at the back side, like the G502 has it, so you can have your thumb straight. other than that it's really cool that they're making this.

 

logitech is bringing back the mx518! wait a second!

 

I wonder if they'll manage to make it lighter than the logitechs were. I could see myself going back to this shape if it's around the g403 weight.

 

Peter Nixeus said it will be about 100g. Can't remember source though. Facebook or twitter?

 

I just want it's left side to be straight as g500s. It was and it is my one of favorite.

 

Oh wow, an MX518 clone. Was my first gaming mouse so that brings back memories. Do wish I hadn't given it to a friend years back so I could see if I still like the shape, but the mouse hoarder in me says I'll probably pick this thing up anyway.

 

Yeah, finally some company got the intelligence to re-make this world famous shape.

Pity it wasn't Logitech since it was theirs to begin with but if someone else decides to fire up the molds and pour plastic into it, then it's worth a purchase without question.

Having finally a 3366 sensor inside it helps to make it possibly one of the best forth coming input devices yet seen.

Would also like to see Huano switches placed everywhere inside the case and of course, a decent Alps scroll wheel to raise it above all the other 'inferior' scrollers that are currently available.

 

I dont usually get excited but if this is the return of the mx518 then .....

I really like the Revel. They're such a great deal I have 3 of them just because they're a great bang for your buck and it's a good, high-performing, quality mouse. I'm excited to try the ergo; I've been chasing an MX518 shape for a long while.

 

Yeah they are proper little workhorses. They also completely changed the way I look at mouse prices from a value perspective.

 

Ah, come on. I've bought too many mice already. Couldn't have they relased it sooner.

 

Assuming this thing is actually keeping the dimensions of the MX518, 100g isn't so bad since that puts it roughly halfway between an EC1 and IME3.0 in terms of weight and IIRC it's halfway between them in terms of size too.

 

so freaking hyped! please let it be a 1:1 copy with the MX518 the exact same dimensions

 

Same here :thumb: .

This could be the BEST ever Nixeus mouse release thus far.

Who would of thought a re-release of that famous shape using the current sensor and hoping, decent switches and scroller (you hear that Pete) could make this the ONLY mouse model worth getting for 2018.

Also whilst your looking at reintroducing any past shapes, why not look at re-releasing the former Logitech G1 or G3 shaped wonder, using a 3360 sensor and Alps scroller?

 

I dont know why no one did a clone of the this style earlier , the design was like 10 years one of the best

 

This is going to make a lot of friends of mine very happy. They keep harping on how the MX518 / G5 was the best mouse ever. Well, I can stop having to think what to give them for their birthdays.

I was more of a G3 man myself, so I echo the sentiments above that if you're going to continue raising legends from the dead, please do the G3 next.

Just like the G5 there's nothing even remotely like it anymore.

Oh and BTW: I have no FB but would love to see the real photo.

Pete could be onto a winner here because NO one else is resurrecting old mouse shapes and putting 3360 sensors inside them.

Nixeus could be the final END-game for anyone wanting their past favorite mouse shapes, back into their hands again.

The money is there and no one else has followed this course so Pete could be the very first company doing this, so maybe in the far future we might all get an WMO, IE 3.0 and IO1.1 using 3360 sensors inside them as well.


So Pete stop looking for different and weird shapes for your mice, get with the program here and start reproducing brilliant mice from our past because they do exist and you have the opportunity to gain preference from all those who still worship these models.

 

another pmw3360 no thanks

 

What's wrong with it?

 

3360 the whole problem is the smoothing on this sensor no one want smoothing i'm high sens player 800 dpi 16 sens and when its come to response sensor i see it the only 3 sensors that perfect for high sens players is Hero/mercury and the amazing one from roccat 3361 thats it

 

Source?
All i can see is that PMW3360 has zero problems with smoothing under 2k DPI value (0.4ms).
Also, PMW3361 "made for Roccat" is basically the stock version of foregoing PMW3360.

no no 3361 made by roccat itself thats why its not in pixart sensor list

 

Yeah i know that Roccat has the PMW3361 on exclusivity but the specification of it pretty matches a primary, factory PMW3360.
Roccat added their own SROM and firmware but it doesn't really change the character of this sensor - it's still the PMW3360.
Inside in PMW3360 family, only PMW3366 makes a diffrence - two frames of smoothing on all DPI steps.

 

 

People have been saying that the 336X sensors have smoothing for a while now, mainly on quake from what I understand, because some guy released a video saying that the sensors had smoothing at 12,000 and 3150 dpi when he tested them on a linear drive tool. People assumed it was at every dpi step. People who play quake have been playing with deathadders because the 3389 apparently has no smoothing at any dpi (although I'm not sure how accurate that is) and say that it feels much better than 336x versions.

 

3389 all ways be my top 1 sensor and hero to

 

Not saying I believed any of it. The guy that did the linear drive test found nothing that we weren't expecting, I just had no idea that people on quake were assuming it was for all dpi steps, or that people actually used 2000 dpi+ in an FPS.

 

People who use over 800dpi are not serious gamers.. So their claims should not take for good..

lul many people use over 800 dpi. Even ow pros use over 800. Do you think you are more serious than pros?

 

you guys see that logitech is probably coming out with a new mx518?

Hype !! [emoji529]

It's not about being serious... Lmao sometimes I wonder.

400, 800 and 1600 DPI are all fiiiiine. It's just whether you actually need the extra precision or not. You can tell that they're all distinct in precision though.

I mean seriously, whether I use 400 DPI and 2.4 sensitivity in CS or 800 DPI and 1.2, 800 DPI and 2.0 sensitivity or 1600 DPI and 1.0 sensitivity.. It won't matter much because the amount of degrees you're allowed to move your crosshair still is small enough to do precise long range shots. I use 400 DPI and 3.1 sensitivity in both Quake and CS. If I aim at someone's head from a far distance it won't make me skip over his head or something, so it's fine.

But if 1600 DPI makes you secure about it then that's cool also. I just don't like the extra fine movement from it.

So I really wouldn't bother using a higher DPI unless you prefer the smoothness from the extra counts or you use something really high like 4.5 @ 400 DPI in CS (but then I would question if it should really be set this high in the first place for a game like this).



But nonetheless, I'm really excited that there's gonna be an MX518 with a good sensor and hopefully even better build quality. Knowing Nixeus it'll even be affordable as well.

 

@Peter Nixeus any updates?

 

Thanks for following up. I was waiting for permission to post pictures and they finally gave the ok for me to post something this week.

 

Just recovered my OC forum acct from god knows when to post here that I am excited as hell to see this come to market.

 

As you should.

Pete has done something marvellous with his dirt cheap Revel mouse, which is currently available.

It simply works and is the best gaming mouse anywhere available today.

I suspect this latest Ergo Mouse will achieve that very same status so all those 'Shysters' making heavy and expensive mice, need to run and hide when this baby gets delivered to all the Gamer's out there.
