l have a logitech mx1000,was thinking of getting a mx518 for gaming,would it be better than the mx1000,or is there much of difference

Depends. Are you having issues with gaming with the MX1000 now? If not, I wouldn't bother.

If I were buying a new mouse though, I'd pick up the MX518 for the great bang/buck.

If it ain't broke don't fix it. If you can game without it then don't worry about it, I feel like the DPI switching feature is really for those too lazy/unable to adjust on their own. And realistically it's hard to do it on the fly if you don't know what's gonna happen.

The mouse has DPI switching, lets you switch from 1600 down to 800 down to etc. etc. But it's not all that beneficial to gaming. At 1600dpi the mouse moves really fast so I usually keep it set around 800 or 1000 dpi.

Basically if you're feeling the MX1000 is slow or is experiencing lag you could buy the MX510 as a replacement, but if you do have the money then go ahead and get the MX518.

Just if I was a budget there isn't a whole lot of need to get the MX518 over the MX510
