The time has come to retire my beloved MX518 after years of distinguished service. Is there something similar on the modern market? I just want something that feels similar in the hand, has the same sort of features and can take a few knocks.

Call logitech support and get a new free one.
My G400 crapped out on me 2 years after use and still had warranty so they replaced it with the new version as long as you have the receipt.
Have you tried eating shit? It's pretty much the same experience as using that angle snapping pile of garbage.

>Angle snapping
Isn't that just an excuse used by shitters when they get blown out in Quake 3?

Cute, WMO master race here.

Why did they think it was a good idea to make a mouse that looks dented and used up?
I use a Steel Series Rival now. It's very good. Feels even better than my old MX518 desu.

>He doesn't use a Mouse Overbooster Propeller to give him the edge when it comes to those vital twitch movements
i had that mouse and used it for like 10 years or something, just replaced it maybe a year or two ago
i got a zowie Za11 cause i dont like all the fancy dingdongs on other mice and it was alright but the side mouse button double clicks now which is insanely shitty
its still fine otherwise so ive been too lazy about replacing it but god its annoying, i wont be getting anything else zowie probably it should not have broke yet

Angle snapping a real thing shit mice do. Next time you're using some crappy workstation open up paint and try to draw circles with the pencil tool.
>>388087319
Because edgy was in.
>>388087192
Only later versions of the mouse had forced angle snapping. If his was an earlier one, it's fine.
>>388087527
Yeah I was really interested in a Zowie mouse because it's simple without a ton of gimmicks but a lot of people say it's got poor construction.
>>388087052
Still using mine OP.
Bought in November 2011.
>>388087467
>Kids actually fall for these scams
Just use some shitty (non-propelled) no name mouse and get literally the exact same result
>>388087052
I have that same mouse, shame that your broke. It's a good mouse
What's the best replacement for a MX518/g400?
I cant find those models anymore, it's discontinued
>>388087467
Why can't I buy a mouse that's a hovercraft yet???
>>388087737
g500 had a similar design but I couldn't find a new one when I tried to replace mine. Ended up settling for a proteus
>"HAHA LOOK AT THIS LOSER HE DOESN'T HAVE AN MX518 AND A FREE CHINESE MOUSEPAD WITH GAYFUR PORN WHAT A FUCKING FAGGOT"
>Get an MX518(already had the mousepad)
>"LMAO LOOK AT ANON HE HAS AN MX518 ANGLE SNAPPLE WHAT A FUCKING FAGGOT"
You tricked me!

not a single zowie mouse on there, are you even trying holy fuck.
>>388087912
None of those mice are produced anymore.
>>388087052
If you want a serious answer the latest "evolved" version of the MX518 is the G400s. I don't think they make it anymore so it might be hard to find. But its basically the same as the MX518 but a newer sensor.
However, I'd recommend the G403 prodigy because it has the latest sensor. It's a different shape from the MX518 but it's still very high quality. Look up a review by Rocket Jump Ninja. He makes really good mouse reviews.

>>388087737
G403 is currently what they offer as a replacement for the G400/G400s.
>>388087819
G502 is the replacement for the G500 and is currently one of the best mice on the market.
G403. You should check it out. I have it and would not trade it away. My last one was zowie fk2 and it was too small for me, even though I have pretty average hands. Also you should check out rocketjumpninja on YT. He does a lot of very detailed mouse reviews.

>/g/ is clueless about hardware
thanks for confirming
g400s are done too you fucks
can't find those anywhere
my Intellimouse wire failure was the saddest day of my life and probably what killed my Counter-Strike career.
then i used hand-me-down 518s, wire fails on both.
then i got a Proteus, then returned it because my g400 came. it came so late that i went out and got the Proteus.
i would use the Proteus since i don't play FPS anymore, the weight of it doesn't matter.
should I get the MX master?

Gaming mice are a meme.
>>388088170
are you baiting or retarded? zowie has both, look up ZA, EC-A and FK
Not even a zowie fan, their mice blow if it wasn't for the good shapes
Rip
Literally god tier mouse
I got one of these, they're pretty good.

I have a G700s, but it might be overkill unless you really want 4 side buttons like I do. I've got the two upper side buttons bound to next track and play / pause for music and the lower two are default back / forward for general use and bindings in games.

disgusting
>>388087052
Fuck off Kieran
>>388087052
You can still find the g400s on newegg for ~$45, exact same body but upgraded sensor/button quality.
