Review on Logitech G300s Optical Gaming Mouse with 9 Programmable Buttons and Onboard Memory – Perfect for Ambidextrous Gamers by Qung Quang  (Buss Ga ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Satisfied with the purchase one hundred percent, I recommend the product for everyone.

In total - I have been using the mouse for 3-4 years already, because it simply has no alternatives for left-handed people. Yes, the mouse is very comfortable, yes, the mouse itself, not counting the cables, is still reliable, and the mouse software has rich functionality, apart from the lack of an overlay with the button layout, which severely limits its functionality for my tasks. Yes, in the end, you will have to periodically re-solder the cables and / or buy a new one of the same. But if I didn’t need a mouse strictly for my left hand, I would take some other one with a lot of buttons, albeit more expensive. I put 5 out of 5, but this is only because this segment has been without fish for a long time.

Pros
  • Versatility. Suitable for both left-handers and right-handers. For left-handers - generally the only option in the current market. Suitability for grip "claw". The rest of the programmable mice in this segment are much larger in size. Normal button layout and full programmability. The buttons are enough for shooters, tanks and RTSok. Macros and good software. Yes, the mouse has really functional and reliable software with macro support. And these macros are very helpful in many games with an oak interface. Switching DPI on the fly, linking different DPI profiles to different games. Also a very useful topic that allows you to try different DPI directly in the game. Switch mouse modes on the fly. That is, it is possible within the same program to have up to 3 options for the layout of the mouse buttons, with different backlighting. This is useful for programs with different modes of operation, toys with built-in editors, and so on. Backlight control. The software allows you to fine-tune the backlight depending on the program and mode, which is useful so as not to get confused. Good performance. Not a fountain - but normal.
Cons
  • Lousy cables. In general, this is probably characteristic of the entire modern periphery. As a result, every year and a half you have to solder a new cable. =) Cables fly suddenly and it starts with glitches and mouse reboots, which you have to react to. The left and right mouse buttons are flimsy, as well as the plastic above them. Yes, there is such a thing. So far, no damage, but puzzles. No indication of changing the mouse layout mode in the game, not counting the backlight. Again, a very inconvenient thing. In some complex program or toy with a bunch of functions and several mouse layouts, you can get confused if you do not constantly look at the mouse backlight mode, which is still inconvenient and distracting, perhaps. I thought that they would solve it with a software ate, through some kind of universal overlay like Overwolf, etc., but no. When changing a game or software, the layout mode of the mouse buttons often does not switch. That is, if, for example, in one program or game you have only one layout profile involved, and the two remaining ones are empty, and in the other - all three, especially with the same backlight, then you can suddenly "hit", without the ability to change it, with the final opening mouse software and selecting the desired profile. Few buttons. Very few buttons for some tasks. I hold the mouse with the left and constantly 3-5 additional buttons are still not enough. And layout profiles, for the above reasons, are simply inconvenient to use. Yes, for ordinary home and gaming tasks, at the level of RTSok shooters, there are still enough buttons. But as soon as you go beyond this limit of 6 programmable buttons, in addition to the three standard ones, problems immediately begin. Price - 2500r for such a mouse is still a little expensive. Even by today's standards. The cables are frail, the backlight does not actually play a special role, there would be a normal overlay showing the application profile and layout, there are still few buttons. A DPI of 2500 is also unnecessary, because no more than 400-1000 is used in all games. The performance, again, is not at all two or three times better than that of good branded mice for 600. Unfortunately, there are simply no alternatives for left-handers.
