Logitech's MX 500, 510 and 518 were heralded by gamers - and continue to be - as some of the best gaming mice on the market. They remain a prime choice for low-sens twitch gamers due to the absence of unwanted hardware acceleration, meaning a <0.5% cursor to hand movement variance. Logitech have now promised to "take everything that was right with the MX518 and make it even better" with their new G400.

The MX 518's 1800 DPI sensor has been upgraded to a higher-resolution 3600 DPI, and that DPI is adjustable on the fly without software; 400, 800, 1800, and 3600. The shape, button layout, durability and indeed tracking consistency has been left intact and unchanged. Most importantly, and impressively, the G400 reports at 1000Hz, up from the MX 518's 125 reports per second. Finally, the cable is thinner and lighter.

Personally, I'm thrilled. I can finally stop hoarding MX 510 mice in fear of this cherished optical series becoming extinct.
