Logitech has a lot of experience, i give you that. My MX518 lasted over 10 years, many other owners reported the same. More recent products by them die often before five years of use. Perverse incentives, news at 11. Sorry for the snark.

I've replaced the 518 with a g300 (I think) and while it was a good mouse, it broke down way too quick for my liking. Now a happy user of a deathadder hyperspeed.

The mx518 (and mx400 before it) were godlike but the newer stuff has been distinctly mediocre.

I had to return a mx master 3 after a year when the left click button wore out.
