Review on Logitech G300s Optical Gaming Mouse with 9 Programmable Buttons and Onboard Memory – Perfect for Ambidextrous Gamers by Adhira Nair ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Well done, but I won't buy any more.

Bought a mouse for work. It is very convenient to have additional buttons at hand without being distracted by the keyboard. Moreover, the number of profiles in the computer memory is not limited. That is, for each game or program, you can configure your actions. Its light indication, in order to understand that the mouse has switched to another mode on a regular basis, which is also set in the parameters in the proprietary software. Very comfortably. For example, I have esc, del, ctrl buttons installed in Solidworks (to select several objects), ctrl + 8 (it takes a long time to explain, but the right thing, and the combination is wild, you just can’t imagine buttons farther from each other), but, for example, in sony vegas I have s (split track), del, space (pause/play), del, ctrl (select multiple items) and volume up and down buttons. The entire installation takes place without the participation of the keyboard, the real acceleration of work was at least 15%. And there are many different programs, it is more convenient to work with this mouse everywhere, without it now it’s like without hands. But in games it's really not very convenient.

Pros
  • The mouse is beautiful and good quality. Moreover, high-quality in all aspects from the wire, then coatings. The sidewalls are rubberized, so nothing will peel off. Soft-touch is not in the form of a film, it will not cover anything. The buttons have a clear click. All buttons except for pressing the wheel and two buttons behind the wheel are obviously expensive, pressing the wheel and two buttons behind it are usually cheap, you can feel it both in sound and in effort. The mouse glides beautifully. The illumination of the band is uniform, the light guide is well made. The pointer is well positioned. in my opinion, the sensitivity of 2500 dpi is somewhat redundant and I really don’t set it in the settings, but it’s more convenient for someone, so that’s also a plus. Polling every microsecond, which is very good.
Cons
  • Not the most convenient button layout for gaming. Requires retraining for effective control when all buttons are activated, sometimes you have to place not two fingers on the top of the mouse as usual, but three, for the side buttons to the right of the right mouse button. Problems were noticed in proprietary software, in particular, if you set two or more buttons for one action, while not setting it manually, but choosing from standard actions (for example, controlling the volume, the player, or the mouse itself, its modes), then the buttons in The softwares merge and then change together, that is, setting one button - several change. It is treated only by deleting the profile and setting it up again. I wrote about this problem to the support service, there is a sluggish correspondence, the employees of the 2022 support service, apparently, translate my messages to software developers, they ask for clarification, they translate their messages to me, etc. As a result, there is no result yet.
