a bit offtopic,

i use now since arround 3 years a razer copperhead, never had any problems. 1 week ago cable is broken, and i bought the copperhead again.

So if u was happy with ur old mouse, buy ur old mouse again, if u can. You dont need a new modell, just because its new and suggerates better gamingperformance.

I actually have the MX518, albeit the first version released with 1600DPI and different mouse feet frome the newer versions. Didn't really get used to it, always had the odd feeling that the sens was somewhat "off".

New 518 are much better (rev .003),they implemented new sensor from deathadder which is now 1800 dpi and it works flawless even on 1000 hz,i experienced no traction loss on 40cm per turn with fast 180 degree turns. Plus it has big g5 feet,the bottom one beeing even bigger than that on the g5.
