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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A left-handed mouse that allows you to program macros in Lua. Looks and feels 'cheap' true

My G600 (which I used on my left hand although it's not reversible) has broken (the right button broke after three years of daily use ('flaky', and that's typical of the G600 - it just doesn't last long) but I bought this one for, say, $15. But there's no free lunch, and a major downside to this mouse is that the wheel doesn't tilt left and right like all expensive Logitech mice do, and as such you can't assign macros to tilt. For those who don't use them, this is OO, but for m, this is a big disadvantage. I deduct a star for that. Keep in mind that this mouse looks cheap compared to Logitech mice for say $36 like the G602, but it works and is more comfortable for left-handers. and "feel" the quality of the G600 or G602 of this "student" model. You can still use 6 macros with it and the Logitech Gaming Software, which allows you to program Lua macros customized for each application you use (not just games, but any application). So this mouse isn't just for gamers. For example, it is ideal for Unix system administrators as it allows you to run complex macros in a Windows terminal emulator such as Teraterm. Also helps people with RSI who need to change hands to give those affected by RSI time to recover. The industry will release more models of symmetrical mice as RSI is a real epidemic among heavy computer users and professionals, but we have what we have.

Pros
  • Great construction
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
