Our Verdict

Logitech G MX518 Legendary

Nixeus REVEL Fit

The Logitech G MX518 Legendary and the Nixeus Revel Fit share the same unique right-handed shape. The Logitech has a wider CPI range, a set CPI that you can adjust more precisely, and a more consistent sensor. It also has more programmable buttons, including two on the front and back of the scroll wheel, and you can assign a G-Shift button for a second layer of programming.  On the other hand, the Nixeus has RGB lighting, which the Logitech lacks.
