Our Verdict
Logitech G300s
Logitech G MX518 Legendary
The Logitech G300s is better than the Logitech G MX518. The G300s feels better built, and it's smaller, so people with smaller hands should be comfortable using it with a palm or claw grip. However, the MX518 has a much wider and more precisely adjustable CPI range, and its lift-off distance is lower.
