I have the same problem! What the hell is that? I've been mystified at that noise for ages.
Do you have an upgraded GPU? I think it’s the Radeon 560 in mine.

I switched from a G700s to an Elecom XGM20DL due to the G700s's poor battery life and terrible software (the Logitech gaming mouse drivers, at least on Mac OS, are dramatically worse than the mainstream mouse drivers). Unfortunately the build quality is pretty average, not as nice as the G700s was and nowhere near the MX Master series. It also doesn't have a built-in battery charger. I never liked the thumb button la…
If you want better software you could give SteerMouse a try: https://plentycom.jp/en/steermouse/download.php $20 purchase, but the 30 day demo should be enough to see if it works for you. I don’t know whether it will recognize all of the G700s’s buttons. I’m just using the trackpad on Mac now, but I used SteerMouse back in the day and it was much better than the official drivers.

#93Do they make high-quality mice like these for left-handed people? I'm always jealous by this type of mouse, while I'm stuck using my cheap sad ambidextrous Microsoft mouse.
Their ambi mice are decent. I use a G300S at work, and I think they have some fancier mice that are also ambi while having features like wireless charging and the toggle for smooth/ratcheted scrolling. The only company I know of that makes an actually left handed mouse is Razer. Decent hardware, but if you're on a Mac their drivers are even worse than Logitech's. There's nothing worse than having your mouse stop work…

For MX518 lovers, I've got a strong recommendation for G400s. The shape is almost the same and it's amazing how durable it is. The cable issue is still there, just like in MX518, and eventually (I am guessing) that's the reason I'll have to switch to something else. I've been using both of them for years and years. Amazing.
I prefer the G400s over the MX518 as I like the more grippy shell. You can get cable replacement kits for the MX518/G400/G400s for $9 from eBay that includes new feet and a USB cable. So I'm really not worried about longevity. P.S. You should take the mouse apart and clean it probably at least once per year. I cleaned my MX518 after about 5 years when the scroll stopped working consistently. I was shocked how much ha…
I find I need to clean my scroll wheel maybe twice a year. It gets more stuck with gunk over time, and it becomes harder and harder to scroll.

There's a non-Apple driver for the trackpad that works reasonably well.
Do you happen to know what it's called? I was looking for this yesterday and couldn't find a good one with what I was Googling.

#99For a premium brand I find it completely unacceptable. Even though it is possible to fix the problem (https://www.instructables.com/id/Repair-mouse-with-double-cl...), I gave up on Logitech mouses completely.
