That's the main reason that I replaced my old MX518 with the newer MX518
Legendary (the only real difference is it has the new HERO sensor)
version. It's quite expensive* for what you get but I do like the feel
of them. I did think about getting one with more buttons but then
thought well I never used the extra two I have for games anyway so why
bother.

 I remember the MX518. I was using one before I switched to something
else. I think the reason I stopped using it was because I do tend to
use most of the buttons and it didn't have enough for me anymore.

One of the nice things I've found about getting old is that my purchases have become far more about what I actually need and not just because I can. My younger self got a Gameboy Advanced pretty much on a whim and I've only ever played it maybe three hours. I also managed to buy another portable Minidisc player even though my current one was less than six months old.
