Logitech G300s Optical Ambidextrous Gaming Mouse – 9 Programmable Buttons, Onboard Memory

I’ve notice playing World of Warcraft that there’s only 2/6 buttons that are mappable. Still great for the price on sale at $14.99.

I bought this in January of 18. Its been a good mouse. The gaming buttons are along the outside of the right and left buttons. I didnt bother to reprogram them, and I swapped fully to Linux last year in June. The ones at the top outside of the buttons seem to be hard linked to alt and ctrl, even after the switch. I never bothered with the bottom outside ones, or the other five? (Not sure which ones those are, as I prefer my gaming buttons being on my keyboard.) The dps option was awkward. Id hit accidentally and itd either slow down or speed up. I used to have a Logitech that had the up button increasing dps and the bottom decreasing, but it never seemed to work regularly. Id hit one or the other a few times to see if itd get back to what I was using before. It was always a maybe thing. (That was in Windows. Linux seems to ignore this, and I really never intended to use it. It was always an accidental thing.) But, now Im having clicking issues. The left-click is sometimes triggering the right-click and not left. Im right-handed, so I typically use the right mouse button more than the left. But the left has officially gone wonky. (I see a lot of left-handed folks writing reviews: I hope your experience last longer than mine, no matter which button!) I can get the left button to click, but as a gamer, it sometimes takes too much effort to ensure it works. I do like the scroll. Many mice dont have clicky scroll, and this one doesnt, but it has enough of a resistance so things just dont go fluid. You know when youre scrolling, and it doesnt just go weird randomly, because of the not clicky feel. I guess I dont know how to better explain, unless you know what I mean. Pros: Scroll is good, lasted 2 years. Cons: Had some awkwardness. Gaming buttons are dumb unless maybe youre a hardcore gamer and want them to be alt and ctrl. Which implies youre not a hardcore gamer because you probably will want 27 other buttons to do your work.

Ive been playing MMOs for a while, but have never had a mouse I really liked that had programmable buttons. I got my boyfriend a razer naga, and while he loved it, its too huge for my small, womanly hands. I spent forever researching different mice with programmable buttons for small hands, and it was almost impossible to find any good info on them. (And some of them only had 2 or 3 extra buttons). I finally found a forum post from a woman who had tried what seemed like every mouse on the market, and a tech review that said everything about this mouse was great except it was small - and BAM, that was the selling factor for me! -Works great -Size works for small hands but is fine for large ones as well (its not tiny like a lot of wireless or laptop mouses can be, just small enough to fit comfortably. My large handed boyfriend has no problem using this mouse) -Ambidextrous -Software works great and lets you set up profiles for different games or accounts -You can change the color of the lights (I thought I didnt care about this function and thought it was stupid til I got the mouse, changed the color and went Hee hee ... burple. - Good price! A lot of mice are ridiculously expensive (im not into paying 80-150 for a mouse on sale, hoo boy), and if you get it on sale /watch the price you can even score a deal.

A pretty impressive mouse with only a few drawbacks that honestly are opinionated based on handsize or how you like your mouse to be in terms of size and button locations. Pros : + Clicks feel solid, not cheap. + The side buttons on top of the regular left and right clicks are responsive and surprisingly DONT get in the way of normal use. + Features software you download from Logitechs website that allows you to create 3 sets of DPI settings, each its own represented color (I have my main set on red, as my entire setup revolves around a Red/Black color scheme) which then allow 5 separate settings within a set, which is easily customized from the software. + In addition from the above comment, you can easily change between the settings within your current DPI scheme, or change over to a different scheme with the buttons below the mousewheel. Very useful if you need a sudden controlled DPI change, or saving a scheme for FPS use then a scheme for RTS, ect. + This can be a pro or con, but the mousewheel has a slight clicking feel to it when scrolling which is great, yet its solid rubbery coating might be a turnoff for some people. + Im a hybrid Claw/Palm holder, and this feels comfortable to use for both styles. Cons : - Its a smaller mouse. I have slightly larger hands with long fingers and this mouse felt just a tad bit too small for me at first, but ive gotten use to it. Yet this might not be much of an issue for Claw style grips. - The wire is long enough to manage a normal under-the-desk setup of a tower, yet the wiring seems thin and delicate. Id advise slight caution when handling when putting it away or moving it around. - Pro or Con depending on your taste for the feel or texture of a mousewheel, as its about the same you would get from a standard Dell mouse or something of the sort you find in a computer lab or library. This does not take away from the overall use of the mousewheel, it works great. - The DPI setting software was a little confusing at first, i recommend playing around with the settings to understand how it works.

This is my second one. Originally was given one as a gift 6 years ago and it lasted until i tripped over the cord and broke it. Loved it so much i got another one. Works great and isnt ridiculously priced like most gaming mouses.

Ive had this mouse for two years now, use it a ton to play games and draw in CAD programs, and its just now starting to not work properly. The left mouse button (the most heavily used one) is wearing out, and it reads one click as two most of the time, which is pretty frustrating when your trying to draw in a CAD program. But like I said, Ive had this mouse for two years, I use it a TON, and it hasnt been treated with the best of care (clenching it my hand, rage slammed into the desk, etc.) This mouse would probably last much longer if you dont play games with it and just use it for CAD work or general computer use. I wouldnt suggest it if you play high click games like OSU though. As for usability, I have large hands and this mouse is kind of small, so it requires a claw grip, but I prefer that so its not a problem for me. All of the buttons are very easy to use without looking at the mouse. In conclusion, the only reason it only got 4 stars is because it hasnt lasted as long as I wanted. But for only $20 I would definitely buy it again, and totally recommend this mouse for anyone that wants a decent mouse for cheap.

I didn’t buy this for gaming. I bought it for use with my work PC as a full-time telecommuter. I’m right-handed, but I prefer to use a mouse with my left hand for various reasons, and my employer’s IT security policies require that I use a wired keyboard and mouse. The mouse they gave me is kind of small for my hand and had started to have problems where it double-clicked constantly even if I clicked only once—which, I gather from other comments here, seems to be a common problem for Logitech devices. All of that meant I didn’t have a lot of choices for a new mouse and I more or less got this one by default. It’s been outstanding so far. I’d still like something a little bigger, and because of IT security restrictions I can’t install the software that would let me program some of the buttons (I’d like to program two of them to function as back and forward buttons in a browser), but overall it feels a lot better than the previous device and looks sharp. If it eventually wears out and starts double-clicking, well, at least it wasn’t very expensive.

So when gaming I mouse with my left hand and when my Razer Taipan (Ambidextrous) started acting up after years of loyal service, I thought I would given something new a try. The issue I always had with the Razer was that regardless of which hand you use, 2 of buttons are on the pinky side and really got in the way more than they helped. This mouse with all buttons on top gives access to every button regardless of hand being used. Right off the bat, the quality of the build and the material being used is nothing close to the Razer, however the build on this mouse is consistent with a $20ish dollar mouse. No much weight, thin non reinforced chord, more plasticy feel. I am still getting used to the button layout. I like having access to all 4 buttons accessible, but I miss the intuitive availability of buttons I can press with thumb. I am also having to get used to the smaller size of the mouse altogether and find it can cramp my hand. The software suite installs easy enough and gives you good control over the button map, colors, sensitivity. Overall it seems to track well and buttons respond accurately. Its not a bad mouse for the money, but I think I am just used to a more quality unit and will probably return to something higher end.

I like Logitec. The secondary buttons are very close to l/r mouse buttons. Too easy to click those by mistake.

This mouse replaced Logitech G400s mouse. Initially I did not like the shape but after a bit I got used to it. It is very good mouse if you have not large hands. For gaming and working this mouse fits the bill. And it is not super expensive. I dont really like extra buttons being on top but after you get used to them, you do not notice them really. Otherwise the mouse tracks well and has just the right weight, not too light not too heavy. I use it every day for many hours without any issues. I also like that it is both left and right handed so I can switch if needed. I will buy another one if they still make it when this one wears out. So far that has been my problem - the mice you like are not made anymore.
