Our Verdict

Corsair M55 RGB Pro

Logitech G MX518 Legendary

The Logitech G MX518 Legendary is better than the Corsair M55 RGB Pro. The Logitech has more programmable buttons thanks to its G-Shift button, a wider and more precisely adjustable CPI range, and its sensor is much more consistent. However, the Corsair feels better built and has RGB lighting.
