i have an MX518 i bought about 6 months ago. its seen moderate gaming and still looks brand new but it started to developed this habit of randomly disconnecting. the wire appears to be loose inside the mouse, if you put any pressure on it the mouse looses power. has anyone else encountered this?

i found a few video's and posts around the net and was wondering how common this is. i love the ergonomics of the logitec but seeing a "high-end" gaming mouse go bad after just a few months? i mean come on. my mx700 lasted 4+ years till the PCB cracked, and then another 6 months after i glued it back together and jumped the broken copper.
 
You may have a lemon, it happens. Send it back and get another one; it should still be under warranty.
 
My MX518 has been going strong for uh.... 6? years. Logitech is generally good at RMAing stuff.

Whoas = WHOA HOLY SHIT. An expression of something that surprised you. WOE = uh oh, like uh oh, someone confused woe with whoa.
 
i hope you get it fixed as they are great mice

my 518s have been working well for a long time. my 518 at work has been going strong for 4 or 5 years (before i even started at the job) and my 518 at home has been rocking strong for just over a year now. following the death of my intellimouse explorer 3.0 i went 518 and never looked back.
 
Logitech replaced my bad G5 within a week. Sent me a rev 2 to replace my original and didn't even require that I return the old model nor a receipt.

<3 Logitech
 
Logitech is very good at warranty support. Bud had one of the 200 buck harmony remotes die on him. Logitech replaced it without asking for the old remote back.

His dog had chewed up the remote. :)

The 518 was a great mouse. The only thing I ever liked better was teh G5 v2 which currently sits on my desk at work.

Ugh, not a fan of the glossy finish of the MX518 and the weird web of the G5v2. The v1 is imho the best looking of many mice - love the matte texture and metallic/oxidized finish
