Logitech MX518 Optical Gaming Mouse

I sometimes feel people just buy a mouse according to the budget they have. I haven't come across a review of all the mice which says for eg: why the GS500 is miles ahead of the MX518
My choice of imperator was coupled with lack of awareness (apart from GS500) and the design of imperator which I loved and really impressed me, I knew nothing about its specs. Having said that I can't say its better than the MX518 I used a long time ago in a gaming cafe (he told me not to tell anyone that there's a 518 in house
)
And imperator sells for twice as much as the MX518. So all this recommendation for DA, GS500, Naga etc confuses me. Is it comparatively better or is it a personal sole experience, I wonder.
I think it is more important that you get the fit right. The imperator is an excellent mouse for a palm grip. Unfortunately I use finger grip to hold my mouse. This is an expensive realisation. I would like you all to realise it before the purchase and not be in my state. (I love the Imperator though
)
I was told in the forum by someone else that most mice come in the (body fit type) countoured packaging. That way you can get your fit right.
For a gaming mouse I would say:
~ The DPI is a useless number. The minimum found in the entry level gaming mouse is what you will be using in any mouse be it the GS500 or the naga i.e. around 1800DPI +/-400
~ Get the fit right (should be about 90% of buying criteria)
~ More money = More buttons (as simple as that) Pay for them only if you need them. The most notable features of the buttons on the mice are "on the fly DPI adjustment" - useful in FPS games and few Macro buttons (depends on the user completely)
~ Look for warranty. Its a gaming mouse. You will never abuse something so much in your life as you will do a gaming mouse. So see to it that it survives a gamers usage cycle.

Am I the only one who think MX518 looks UGLY?

Who handles Razer RMA? Logitech is handled by Rashi if I'm not mistaken.
Thanks for resizing the pictures, Nipun. And is this (Razer Goliathus Fragged Speed - Omega (small) mouse pad) the Goliathus control mousepad you guys were mentioning?
EDIT: I think it should be this one (Razer Goliathus Fragged Control - Omega (small) mouse pad). Right?

Tiupathi Enterprises handles Razer RMA.
I am using control edition. Because at 3200dpi. The last thing you want is a bit more acceleration (atles t.. thats what I think). So, I chose control edition. It is quite good.

I bought my DA from 1850/- using a discount coupon some time back. Anyways, get the Black Edition of DA, which looker cooler, and has a better grip.

Acro didn't reply to my mail about the faulty Imperator.
Damn them! I somehow found them to be the importers of the Razer products sold through letsbuy (its on the box actually

Since you didn't like the bullet hole sticker and MX518 is in it's EOL, how about G400
The new MX518 as Logitech markets it(Even mentioned on the box as new MX518)
Logitech® Gaming Mouse G400
Refer this link for comparison pics
The only problem with MX518 is that, the rubber coating comes off after a while and it doesn't look good, I had to peel off the entire coating.
Regarding mouse pad, if you live in a dusty environment I suggest go for the Speed edition from Goliathus, the control edition has a textured surface which traps dust more than speed edition.
I have both and I live in quite a dusty locality, comes from experience
