Yes, no angle snapping. If you like the MX518's God-tier ergonomics, the G400s is a straight upgrade.

My mouse history from 2003 when I built my first PC went:

>Off brand garbage ball mouse (remember those?)
>MX518, eventually died
>G400s

Three mice over thirteen years, apart from a Logitech desktop mic I don't think I've got as much lifespan out of any other electrical gadget.

I owned a G5 years ago, and that had the exact same shape as the MX518. It was the worst mouse I've ever owned. Not only was it a jittery piece of shit, it was uncomfortable as fuck.

I used a MX518/G400 for years and loved it but recently upgraded to a G502. A very similar form factor with some nicer features and a higher DPI. It seems like an objective upgrade and it's pretty affordable.

I can't speak for the G5's sensor having never owned one, but the MX518/G400s feels like it was made for my hand. Your hand and your grip are sure to be different, which is why anyone claiming there is one 'best mouse' is talking out of their arse.

I dunno, either the mouse is perfect for my grip or my grip has adjusted to fit the mouse over the years. Either way it's the only mouse that feels right for me now.

Problem I've had with all my logitech mice is that the LMB eventually breaks in a really annoying way. It doesn't just stop working, it carries on working, but gradually gets wronger and wronger. So right now I can't actually hold the mouse button down properly because it randomly "lets go" even when my finger's down. Sometimes it'll double click when I click once etc.

Up until that point though logitech mice are my favourite.

I must have terrible luck with mice. I've had an original Deathadder with a dodgy scroll wheel, a 2013 Deathadder that double-clicked, a Zowie EC1-A with tracking issues unless you let it "warm up" for 5 minutes first.

I'm using a Sensei RAW right now and it's a pretty solid mouse that comes at a nice price, but it's an ambidextrous mouse so the grip and feel is pretty different compared to something like the MX518/G400/G502.

Sadly I'll probably have to hunt for a new mouse due to my awful grip which is like 80% Palm/20% Fingertip keeps my thumb just a bit short of the mouse 5 button.

I have a slight issue with my scroll wheel scrolling up a tick every now and then when scrolling down, but that's a minor issue to have after 6 fucking years of HEAVY use.

I'm not sure how the Blackwidow stands up today, but at launch, $80 for a mechanical keyboard was a fucking bargain. only gripe is the glossy finish, which they've fixed on newer models.
