Fits the description completely, very satisfying.

I've always had wireless mice. The first with an IR receiver (not a radio! ) A4tech, then a laser Logitech MX600, which worked for 10-12 years, and which I was very pleased with and did not want to change for anything (because of 5 customizable ons). There really were no alternatives. Either with a wire and a bunch of ons, or a non-laser one with a bunch of ons, or a laser + wireless, but only 2 extra. ons. And then the G604 appeared. At first I bought with a grain of salt. But the more I worked, the more I liked it. It turns out that there are not just 8 additional ons (instead of the previous 5 pieces), but they can also work differently in different applications. I'm actually thinking of buying another one of these and putting it on the shelf. Because for the last 5 years I've looked at the mouse/keyboard market and haven't seen anything worthy. I was looking for a new MX600, maybe in a warehouse somewhere. And I still have an MX3000 keyboard (it was a set with an MX600 mouse) and I would buy another one, because there are no alternatives. The keyboard has as many as 32 additional customizable ons, plus a scroll, plus a volume knob (which no longer works due to old age). The ons are igned menus with applications, or quick access to folders . Okay, this review is not about that :) In short, I'm seriously thinking about buying another such mouse, because when its day comes, I'm afraid I won't find a worthy replacement.
In short, the G604 mouse turned out to be very good. How reliable it is - time will tell.
If you work in CAD, then definitely have it.

Pros

1. Many ignable ons, with the ability to configure different configurations for different applications. For me, it's ok. a big plus, because working in CAD (solid, altium), or surfing the internet, or playing cyberpunk (lol), I use one mouse. 2. Wireless, laser. Once again: wireless, laser. Turn on the movie and climb onto the sofa with the mouse so that you can turn up the volume, or start the next video. You can't with a wire, but with this one you can. IR will not work properly on sofa surface (tested), G604 works. 3. Good weight. I like heavy mice, and this one has a good weight if it costs a battery, and an excellent weight if it costs an alkaline battery. 4. Fast scrolling. I previously encountered this topic and I did not like it, but I changed my mind. It is very convenient to scroll through the specs and datasheets. When I got used to quickly switching between scrolling modes, the thing generally became indispensable. 5. Lack of lighting. I think it's not a secret for anyone that the RGB theme is slowly returning to brothels and casinos, where it came from, and is becoming a bad manners in modding. I am very glad that aesthetics are back in value. The G604 has one small indicator, which is enough. 6. Built-in memory in the mouse. It was an indescribable joy when I realized that the configured Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V work not only on the desktop, but also on the laptop (without any G Hub).

Cons

1. Intuitively clear applications are capable to put in a stupor. The only plus is that you don’t need to go into the settings often. But G Hub is a pain. For example, he could not pick up a game from Steam, so he had to manually enter the address to the exe. Well, there are many such moments when you look and such "what do you mean. " 2. One day, the mechanical on for turning on the super-scroll stopped clicking and fixing. I was upset, I thought I would have to buy a new mouse. But after a while everything worked again as it should. Perhaps some kind of speck got in. But the sediment remained. 3. I saw complaints about a slippery metal wheel. I agree, it's a little unfortunate. After 10 months, of course, I got used to it, but the relief on the wheel should be reconsidered. 4. Side G-ons take some getting used to. In fact, they are well made, well "read" with a finger, a good tactile response. But again, it takes some getting used to. 5. Clicks a little louder than we would like. But again, I'm used to it.
