Great Mouse For 3D/Game Design Shortcuts

I can't even begin to describe how useful this is for me. It has more buttons than I know what to do with, which is a very good thing. I'm just going to throw this out there, I don't use this mouse for it's intended market. That is, MMOs. I don't play any MMOs. What I /do/ do, is use Blender and Unity in the process of learning to build games. Blender alone has what feels like millions of shortcuts to memorize, and while I've gotten all the main ones down, I like using a normal mouse and a 3D Navigator at the same time. That keeps my hands off the keyboard. Which makes switching between the keyboard, mouse, and 3D Navigator... Annoying. This mouse solves that by keeping a large number of shortcuts in the mouse memory. This saves me time and effort allowing me to keep my hands off the keyboard and still get work done quickly. I will say, I've found one single downside to this mouse. If I assign a key to a button (like SHIFT) and hold that button down, it doesn't keep the button pushed down in the interface. Holding shift on the keyboard will let me select multiple faces, vertices, or edges. Holding shift on an assigned button on the mouse, does literally nothing. I'd like it if the software let me say that I wanted the button to be held, or maybe gave me a "sticky key" option. Oh well, minor complaint. Another minor complaint is that the mouse is lightweight. This works fine for when I need to stick it in my laptop bag and don't want a lot of weight, but I tend to prefer weighted mice like the Proteus Core (which I also have, loaded as heavy as it can be), but this is a very minor complaint.

Take this over the Razer Naga.

I have just used it for only a few hours and I am already loving it. I've also used the Razer Naga Epic Chroma for 6 months and this Logitech G600 is a welcome change. I bought this as a mouse for my other PC. A fantastic mouse which gives users unparalleled control. It fits comfortably in the hand and the contours are nice however, the shape of the mouse favors people with a palm grip more. If you're more into the claw fingertip grip or claw grip which I am, you may find that you'll need some time to get used to the mouse but it is not very severe so you should be accustomed quite quickly. Buttons are easy to press and give an appropriate tactile response. The thumb buttons also have tactile indents on the G13 and G16 keys which help you to easily identify by feel which keys you will press. There is also something known as a G-shift button activated by your ring finger which effectively doubles the number of functions. I personally found this to be a killer feature. Its RGB lighting is bright and vibrant and can be seen well even in well lit areas however, in my particular unit, when the RGB is set to white, the G13 button seems to have a slightly different shade of white. It doesn't bother me so I won't take away a star for it. Also, you can set the RGB lighting be on static, a pulse or a cycle. You can also control the speed at which the lights pulse or cycle. The mouse also includes on-board memory which you can store your profiles on board without having to install any software. The cable is also braided for a nice and durable texture. The Logitech Gaming Software is relatively easy to use and is quite slick. When choosing a color for the RGB the software immediately applies it without you needing to do anything. Very handy when you want to quickly see your changes. Assigning macros is very easy, but compared to Razer's Synapse, it is a little bit more clunky. However, the best part of it all is that you do not need to create an account to customize your mouse unlike Razer which you need to. This was a massive plus for me. I do also own a Razer Naga Epic Chroma and compared to it, I would say the two are very similar in performance. The Naga does have better RGB lighting as its scroll wheel is lit while on the G600, it is not. Furthermore, the non-wireless version of the Naga also has it's Razer emblem illuminated. On the G600, only the grid of buttons for the thumb is lit. Also, the Naga's shape is more forgiving to people who use a claw/fingertip. The G600 is also more affordable than the Razer equivalent. Comparing Razer's and Logitech's offerings, I would say the Logitech wins. Razer is not bad either, but with the Logitech, you do get more functionality over form. I mainly use this for productivity and I have set the buttons to act as shortcuts like Alt-Tab, Task Switcher etc and the G600 is a joy to use. If you're looking for a mice for absolute control and functionality, look no further than the G600. It also has that killer G-shift button which is unique to the G600. There is also Corsair's Scimitar RGB offering to consider. While that one has truly impressive RGB, you do lose a little functionality as that one does not have a tilting scroll-wheel and also doesn't offer a G-shift equivalent.

Utechsmart, Venus MMO

So this replaced the mouse every one says ripped this G600 mouse off, and yeah I can see that, but both are really good gaming mouses, getting this one after three or so years of use of the venus, left click started to loose its click hold, it would of been a easy fix but decided I wanted something new, and as for the G600 compared? Well it is the better mouse in my opinion, but not by much so if you don't want to spend as much, the Venus is perfectly fine and well worth the money, where the G600 is better is quality, the parts do feel like they'll last longer, I like the ring finger extra button over the to the left of the left click mouse button on the Venus mouse, one thing I was worried about switching to the G600, is that I like my gaming mouses heavy, I used all the weights in the Venus gaming mouse, thankfully the G600 is as heavy or barely noticeably lighter then the Venus mouse, Really the only thing I liked the Venus mouse more over the G600, is the size, I have large hands, glove size large some times are a little tight but that should give you an idea, anyways, the utechsmart venus mouse is slightly larger then the G600, it also has a thumb rest which I like but because the G600 is smaller, my palm doesn't rest as much on the G600, making my wrist rest more so on the mouse pad which can be uncomfortable, but raising my chair fixed that. Was it worth the price difference? mmm, at this moment it being $3, sure, though $39 is still pretty high for a gaming mouse, heh unless your a Razor fan boy, anyways, I'm happy with my purchase, though we'll see if the G600 lasts as long as the Utechsmart Venus mouse.

amazing mouse that can do almost everything!

I am a designer, and a gamer. I was looking for a mouse where I can keybind my Photoshop tools, as well as using it for my gaming convenience as I do play MMORPGs and steam games. The Logitech G600 has become the mouse where I can do it all! This was my second purchase (I bought my first G600 at my local Best Buy a few years ago). The braids on my first mouse had fallen apart because of the way I fold the cable, and it started to show the inside cable (like those generic plug in mouse with a cable). I absolutely love this mouse because it has 3 buttons on the top. Depending on how much keys you want to keybind, the third mouse (usually pressed with the ring finger) can serve as a "Shift" button so you can make more keybinds to the buttons on the left side, which can add up to a maximum of 24 (2 more near the wheel if you don't want want to set mouse modes via the mouse) keys to keybind! 24 shortcut sounds like a lot to remember, but it's far better than remembering to press shift, ctrl, alt tab whatever and you can sometimes typo and fail to do what you need to do. I can't find any other mouse where you can have so many keybinds in 1 mode. Not Corsair, and definitely not Razor. This mouse lets you set manually up to 3 different modes, or you can set it to recognize the game you are playing, ie World of Warcraft or Guild Wars 2, etc. through a program called Logitech Gaming Software. You use the software to setup your mouse, and you're all set! You can also use this mouse on a mac computer. You do need to install the software on the mac to setup your keybinds. Once it's all set, you can plug this mouse into any mac without installing the software and all the shortcuts are memorized in the mouse. I do not recommend this mouse for shooter games, as I have heard the tracking isn't that great, but otherwise, it's a really awesome mouse to have, even if you're not a gamer.

Excellent, versatile mouse.

I think this is a five-star product with a couple reservations. I will list those reservations FIRST, with the disclaimer that I am very picky: 1. The hydrophobic surface gives a dry, almost chalky (like a blackboard) tactile feel. It gave me the heebie jeebies at first, but I gave it a fair chance and got used to it. It seemed my hand was getting warmer and sweating more on this mouse than my old one, but I also found that the surface countered that and didn't get sticky. 2. The left click, right click, and mouse wheel are kind of loose, at least on the G600 I received. The clicks themselves are not loose (they are near perfect for me, actually), but the buttons seem to rest "loosely" on top of the switches with no tension. This allows them to rattle a bit. It's most pronounced if I tap the buttons without depressing the switches--you can hear the rattle/reverb. It's a very minor build quality thing making it seem less tight/solid. The ring finger button does not have this problem at all. -------------------------- Now, with that out of the way, I will say this mouse is incredibly versatile. I did a lot of research before buying. After playing around with this thing, I figured out that there are a few things this mouse can do that even favorite professional YT reviewers and unboxers seemed to miss. The main thing I discovered that sets this mouse apart has to do with the difference between "profiles" and "modes." The way these function with the G600 is dependent upon whether you are using the software profiles or the on-board memory. If you use the on-board memory, you get three straight modes/profiles (they are synonymous on this setting). The software option is far more versatile, because it basically separates "modes" from "profiles." You still get three modes, but you get a unique profile for each application/game PER each mode. This means you can effectively set THREE different complete configuration profiles for EVERY application and cycle them on the fly. Better still, you can change the color scheme of the LEDs for each profile PER mode, so you can tell what you're on as you shift through them. Example: StarCraft2. Gold for Protoss, blue for Terran, and purple for Zerg. You could do the same thing for three characters or three builds on one character in an MMO. I have tried the G602, G700s, and G500s, but none of them had the "mode" functionality. On those, when you switch to software profiles, the on-board memory apparently gets supplanted instead of working in tandem. The Logitech Gaming Software has a "Profile Cycling" option that is supposed to allow you to make multiple profiles per app, but after spending an hour or two trying to make additional profiles and get the hotkey to work, it appeared to me to be a broken functionality. Support was non-existent. OTHER THOUGHTS --Form factor: I have medium-small hands. The width of the mouse and the fact that the ring finger rests on a button took a week or two to get used to. Not a big deal. The braided cable is nice--keep it away from sharp corners/edges. --Tons of buttons: I find most of the 12 on the side to be accessible and pleasant pleasant to use. All buttons except the wheel/tilt have quiet clicks, which I insist on. The side buttons are "mushy" buttons. I prefer this to the G602's side buttons that make a POP every time I go forward or back in a browser. I use the ring finger button for an additional button, rather than the "G-Shift" to effectively double the bindings (that is just serious overkill IMO). The tilt wheel and wheel button don't really trigger the scroll when used unless you're really sloppy, which they shouldn't. --DPI: The DPI setting is not represented by an LED on the mouse. I imagine that is because this mouse was designed for MMOs. All in all this is a great mouse. I hope this was helpful and thanks for reading!

Not just for MMOs, great for shooters also!

I bought this mouse for $36 at the time of writing to replace the Razer Deathadder Tournament Edition mouse, which was $80 at the time I purchased it. Most shooters have primary and secondary weapons, possibly even a third weapon or melee item, multiple grenade options, tools (bandages, utilities, etc.) and the Razer mouse with only two buttons just wasn't cutting it. I'm not comfortable using the back 6 buttons yet, but it feels natural using the front 6, which immediately gave me 4 more bindings. I was iffy about this mouse because of the ring finger button. I was worried I would constantly be clicking it by accident or would just never use it. I set it to cycle DPI from a low dpi to high dpi, and right away I found how useful this can be in shooters when aiming down sights or sniping to give me better control. I rarely misclick it on accident either. The tracking is on par with the more expensive mouse also. In fact, I think it feels smoother not only in game but it glides across my mat better, but this may just be a placebo effect of preferring my new mouse over old, time will tell. Nevertheless, even though this mouse "only" goes to 8000 dpi, while most mice go to 12,000, I have a hard time believing anyone ever goes to those levels. I have two dpi levels set right now, 600 for sniping and 1200 for regular ADS and hip firing. Overall if you are thinking about getting this mouse, I say go for it. Its cheap compared to most "high-end" mice, but it offers so much more.

For the price you really cant go wrong

I've been using this for a couple weeks now and I can truly say I really like this mouse. As a holy priest in World of Warcraft this mouse works well for me because I'm able to map all of my clique add-on/mouse over healing macros to the mouse while using the keyboard commands for offensive spells. The mouse itself is very comfortable and I've grown accustom to using the scroll wheel tilt functions (previous page/next page) to the point where I'm trying to do it on my mouse at work and forget it doesn't have that function. The third mouse button is a really nice addition too and I don't find myself clicking it on accident like I thought I would. Software is very straight forward and if you own any other logitech items that utilize it you are pretty much plug and play ready with the exception of maybe having to remap those side buttons (very straight forward). All in all I cannot recommend this mouse enough for the MMO player that wants to up their game/make it a little easier for themselves. I bought this mouse for 45 dollars in August of 2018.

This is the REAL DEAL!

PROs +Comfortable for small and average sized adult hands. +Easy to see the buttons on the side due to its lights. +Doesn't get caught on anything under the mouse itself. +High to low sensitivity, ideal for gaming or general use. +Average to somewhat long cord makes for easy setup on most pcs. CONs -The cord itself is not plastic wrapped but rather, cloth which means it can fray out easily if you aren't careful about placement. Do not recommend hard edges for this reason, try for rounded edges. -You need to download a program that allows for control over the colors on the mouse and keybinding. It's not required but recommended. Overall I've been very happy with this mouse and I am about to buy another because I had a wooden, hard edged desk that caused a fray on my cord and only got worse over time. I highly recommend this mouse, period. Razer is way overpriced, has faults in its wheel and can often get caught on things due to the bottom design on the the comparable Chroma models. Anything else falls pretty short, even if it is cheaper. This is the cost I expect of a good, functioning mouse that'll last a long time and for multiple uses.

Unbeatable at 35 dollars

I don't believe that this mouse can be beat at its 35 dollar sale price. My old Logitech mouse finally crapped out on me after years of heavy use, and I'd been meaning to try out one of the fabled ridiclous-numbered MMO mice. I considered the Corsair Scimitar, the Razer Naga, and the G600. Being a user of Logitech products for the last 20 years or so, I decided to try out the G600 and it was an excellent choice. I have moderately short, fat fingers and that is not a problem. This mouse is large but fits my hand perfectly. The button placement is good and the shape/texture of the buttons is fantastic. There is three buttons for left click, right click, and another one to the right of that. It took some getting used to in order to stop accidentally clicking the third mouse button, but it was relatively painless. There is quite a bit of heft to the mouse, so if you're used to lightweight pointers, that could take some getting used to as well. The cord is a very nice braided material with plenty of length. The Logitech software is... not bad. But it also leaves a bit to be desired. That being said, it's still good compared to the abomination that is Corsair CUE. The ability to customize for individual games is there as well as a simple way to assign any key presses or macros that you desire. It also enables you to customize the RGB and lighting effects if that's what you're into. I leave mine stationary white to match my computer's black and white build. The only issue I'm having is when I am actively running the Logitech software, for some reason the backlight on my G710 keyboard constantly turns off. If I close the software, the problem stops. Not a deal breaker by any means. All in all, I am over the moon with the quality and feel of this mouse at 35 dollars. I might not even be opposed to buying it at $79.99 if that were the case. 5 out of 5.

I'll Be Honest, This Mouse Changed My Mind

I'll be honest, my initial review was horrible for this mouse but upon trying to use it and fix some of the issues I had myself I can tell you it may actually be the best mouse I've owned in my life. Not only is it responsive (a must for a mouse) but it's comfortable, reliable, EXTREMELY customizable, and the perfect weight for gaming! At first I thought I'd never get used to this 12 thumb button thing and I kept hitting them on accident but after a week or two I stopped doing that. Overall even though this mouse came with some quality control problems that I had to fix myself I can tell you right now that it's PERFECT for me! Pros: - Responsive - Comfortable (especially for large hands) - Weighted nicely - Nice braided cable - The custom lighting is a nice bonus - More buttons than you could EVER use - Extremely customizable - Personally I find this to be the #1 greatest thing about this mouse it's customizable from the lighting to each individual button. You could probably even type with this mouse if you were so inclined! Literally blew my mind how many buttons you can setup and how it even accept things like Alt+(Button). Cons: - Weight may be too much for some - Has almost "too many" buttons (might get confusing for awhile) - It's a bit bulky for smaller hands - The 3rd regular clicking button (ring finger) can feel a little weird at first
