Nixeus Releasing G400/MX518 Clone
Posting here because it was a classic shape used by a lot of TF2 players back in the day and some still use it. Some of the original versions (G400 series) had cable issues, and the shape was never refreshed. This includes a 3360 sensor and looks to have switches separated from the shell.

Comparing the MX518 click latency at 125Hz to the click latency of the Nixeus Revel at 1000Hz would suggest that the MX518 should be about 7ms slower on average than the Nixeus Revel it's actually about ~2.4ms. Force 500Hz on the MX518 and it's about 1ms faster lol.

What is noticeable to some isn't noticeable to others.
so to begin ALL OPTICAL MICE HAVE SMOOTHING period even the beloved WMO and the "flawless" PMW3366 in the G502. You need at least 2 frames of smoothing otherwise any kind of visual noise on the sensor will cause it to jitter even if you're not moving the mouse.
Generally speaking modern mice run anywhere from ~6000fps (when in use) to ~12000fps (when in use). so 2 frames = 0.33ms at 6000fps and 0.16ms at 12000fps.
so all optical mice will have at least 0.16ms of smoothing. most optical mice when in the low DPI ranges have 2-4 frames of smoothing.
G400s at sub 2000dpi (maybe 2400dpi) is 2 frames. G100s is 4 frames below 2000dpi DeathAdder Elite is 2 frames at 1800 DPI or less. ~32 frames at 1900+ DPI G502 is supposedly 2 frames at all DPIs (for sure is 2 frames below 2000DPI) Zowie PMW3310 line up is ~20 frames of smoothing at all available DPI levels* PMW3360 mice all have at least 2 frames of smoothing at sub 2000DPI. ~32 frames of smoothing above 2000DPI
So when someone says "noticeable smoothing" take it with a MASSIVE grain of salt. 9/10 it isn't smoothing they're noticing or they're using a really high DPI.
I haven't seen any official tests with the hero sensor but it's safe to say that below 2000DPI will be 2 or 4 frames of smoothing max. Worst case scenario is ~0.33ms of smoothing when actively using the mouse. If you stop moving the mouse for like 5s and then start moving it again it might be just above 1ms of smoothing but it'll go back down once the sensor first detects movement.
* I question the validity of the statement of 20frames and how resolute that is with zowie mice, but I couldn't find anything better. I'm pretty sure the X axis has less smoothing than the Y axis but I doubt anyone actually teensy tested that to come up with exact numbers.

Now if you really want an idea of performance between the hero sensor and the PMW3366 in terms of smoothing below 2000DPI will be the same i.e. 2 frames. Beyond that it's incredibly hard to say for sure as I have yet to see someone do extremely intensive testing on the hero sensor.
In terms of raw performance this is Logitech's own graph on it
https://i.imgur.com/5zvVdcq.png
basically the Hero Sensor is 99.9% of the performance for ~20-25% of the power usage. Which is still significantly better than the 3310 in zowie mice, and at minimum on par if not better than the 3360, 3389 and TM3 sensors

I don't know where this idea that perfectly in the middle is the only good place for a sensor. Do you have a pic of the underside of the new mx518?Mostly because almost every other mouse is really close to the middle putting it far forward or the side makes it unintuitive for users who've used basically any other mouse.
https://i.imgur.com/EVU2TsR.png
just glancing at it compared to a G400s the sensor position is about 0.5 to 1mm closer to the butt of the mouse on the new MX518
stock skates are terrible, was going to replace them with hyperglides anyway but was expecting skates with the rounded edges already like the G403 had, these are pressed flat skates :(
Cable is slightly more flexible than original cables for this design (and no it's not just a age difference in the outer coating of the cable). Diameter is approximately the same. Seems to be mounted better to the front of the mouse.
Clicks feel a bit stiffer than my g400s but that is probably from significant use on my g400s. DPI buttons are weird the DPI up button feels like it actuates a mechanical switch, but the DPI down and default buttons feel like membrane like the G400s and older mice.
Scroll is similar but different not sure if this is a difference I created when I messed with the internals of my g400s including the scroll though. Scroll on my g400s has a more obvious tactile feel to it while the new mx518 while still noteable isn't as obvious.
Plastic is a bit more textured than the G400/400s except the cover shell which is very glossy like the original mx518.
[quote=Shifta]I was actually a big fan of the sensor position in the g500. I don't know where this idea that perfectly in the middle is the only good place for a sensor. Do you have a pic of the underside of the new mx518?[/quote] Mostly because almost every other mouse is really close to the middle putting it far forward or the side makes it unintuitive for users who've used basically any other mouse. [img]https://i.imgur.com/EVU2TsR.png[/img] just glancing at it compared to a G400s the sensor position is about 0.5 to 1mm closer to the butt of the mouse on the new MX518 stock skates are terrible, was going to replace them with hyperglides anyway but was expecting skates with the rounded edges already like the G403 had, these are pressed flat skates :( Cable is slightly more flexible than original cables for this design (and no it's not just a age difference in the outer coating of the cable). Diameter is approximately the same. Seems to be mounted better to the front of the mouse. Clicks feel a bit stiffer than my g400s but that is probably from significant use on my g400s. DPI buttons are weird the DPI up button feels like it actuates a mechanical switch, but the DPI down and default buttons feel like membrane like the G400s and older mice. Scroll is similar but different not sure if this is a difference I created when I messed with the internals of my g400s including the scroll though. Scroll on my g400s has a more obvious tactile feel to it while the new mx518 while still noteable isn't as obvious.
