Not a bad purchase, worth the money.

I bought the G604 to work in engineering programs to replace the old and rather boring M705 sensor. To assign the most frequently used commands and buttons to keys. Initially, the soul lay in MX Master 3, but comparing the parameters, unfortunately (or fortunately), I did not find a single weighty argument in favor of the latter. The number of buttons greatly speeds up and simplifies the work (in the same 3D compass). I do not regret the money spent, this mouse closed my tasks. But ergonomics and software, as for me, are still far from ideal.
 Knowing the vaunted “quality” of the switches in Logitech mice, so to speak, firsthand, and I also don’t have hopes for this model, I decided to prepare for double clicks in advance and ordered a package with mikriks from China right away. I hope the company will be ashamed of it. (Probably no).

Pros

• Sufficiently comfortable grip. • The sensor responds equally well on almost all surfaces and with high accuracy. • Lightspeed. The mouse is as responsive as a wired one. It's really noticeable. • Housing materials are tenacious, not easily soiled and almost do not get dirty. Purely outwardly, the mouse suits me, but it will obviously seem unsightly and cheap to someone. • On any button and wheel (of course, except for the wheel mode switch, the pairing button and the mouse enable slider), you can assign any action or key combination for each program or game installed on your computer separately. With the help of the G-Shift function, you can hang an alternative action on the same buttons while holding down a separately assigned key. (However, due to the layout of the buttons, this is almost not usable) • Built-in memory for 5 profiles (hello to owners of Logitech office mice) • Subjectively: work from one battery. You can buy a pair of AA Ni-MH batteries: one - in the mouse, the second in the table - at the ready. The mouse is always wireless, and you don’t think what to do when the built-in battery wears out. • Autonomy is my respect. I use the mouse at work through the Lightspeed adapter for about five months. The included battery is just starting to drain. I think up to six months of work may well hold out. (500Hz; 2022dpi). • Convenient wheel with hyperscroll and side clicks (assigning ctrl-c/ctrl-v combinations to them is addictive). Scroll clicks are very crisp but loud. There is free movement on the sides. In general, the mouse is a rattle, but usually I drive it around the table and don’t shake it, so I don’t see a problem for myself.

Cons

• Fairly large gaps between the buttons - expanse for dirt and dust. • Subjectively: the side buttons, although easily recognizable by touch, are made too long. It is not convenient to reach for the rear keys during operation. In my opinion, it would be better to make three rows of buttons in two columns, and not vice versa. It is also not always convenient to reach for the DPI change buttons. • GHub application. It is slow, confusing and buggy. When I run it, I don't want to look at the latest lighting effects (for a mouse that doesn't have it), I don't need a link to a Logitech site advertising Logitech products, and I have the brains to customize the profiles myself. I need a stable and lightweight program to quickly and easily configure peripherals. And yes, in theory, you can set up profiles once, load them into the mouse's memory, demolish this GHub and forget about it like a nightmare. But then you can also forget about the automatic change of profiles for each active program. (About macros, it seems, too - but this is not accurate). • The mouse can connect to two computers, but Logitech Flow does not, and will not. The mouse is not friendly with office keyboards of the same company. Would you like to use the drag-and-drop feature between computers? Kindly, buy another mouse from the office line (you can wind them together with electrical tape for convenience), install another program for configuring it in the collection - Logitech options. Even if you already have a Flow-enabled keyboard, this feature won't work without the right mouse. You bought a gaming mouse, right? - so play it and don't whistle. The developers have already been generous to you with macros and built-in memory. With the software, this company has a separate addiction: depending on the gadgets used, Set Point and Logitech Gaming Software may also hang in autoload - there are already four, motherfucking, programs only for the correct operation of peripherals. To marketers, my respect is the ecosystem that we deserve.
