I still have mine, I'm not mentally prepared for when it dies. I have zero issues with it since I bought it, despite thousands of hours of gaming.

You'll be devastated when you learn that current Logitech mice have a design flaw that results in double clicks.

My Zowie FK2 does that sometimes too, but only with the middle button. It's weird though, it'll happen a bunch for like a week, then it just goes away.

It's not just Logitech. Cheap switches from China have infected numerous steelseries as well.

My previous mouse started to do that after I dropped it one to many times, got a couple years out of it at least.

Mine (which came with my computer so no complaints lol) failed to distinguish between left clicks, right clicks, and the middle scroll button

you should know that Logitech revived the series, you can still find them under the name "G MX518"

I was in the same place as you, first time this mouse started dying i managed to keep it alive for couple more years by changing cables and shit.

Do you know if the new series is as durable as the old version? I heard they changed the place where the mouse is produced

Pretty sure it isnt, but thats the case for almost anything made today.

I cant rly give you an answer since i bought it only 2 years ago.

For now it seems fine, looks the same as new, no scratches or worn down rubber. Tho the cable is kinda thin and not braided so im pretty sure that will be the point of failure (tho i dont mind, i have done it on the original one a couple of times)

My mouse hand was moulded by MX518's shape so getting a new one with the same shape felt great

They revived it with shitty materials probably to save a few $ here and there. I don't think it'll last this time around.

This kinda is the case for everyting that comes out. Old producs outlast the new one all the times, unfortunately

I think when this one dies I’ll take it apart and mount the pieces in a shadow box.

Mine started to squeak, and so began my endless search for an acceptable replacement

Got mine in 2006-2007 and it lasted valiantly until 2020...replaced with the G502 Hero which is still pretty awesome.

Went through two of these playing cs 1.6 and cs:cz, first thing that fails are the usb wires in front of the mouse. I had the melltalic orange rust color scheme.
