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

Sorry to say this. My wife loves it but I cannot use it. It is really small and light mouse and driving me crazy. I used it for about month. I was so mad as it was so small. The functionality is ok and it works great but it is for small hands, maybe kid or women.

When I say the left mouse button started to go that means the dreaded double clicking and signal degradation that comes with repeated use. Im a guy who sits at his computer A LOT, and aside from some minor gripes and the longevity issue, this is a great mouse. It has checked almost all my boxes for a mouse, not that im picky, i just want quality. This thing lasted me a little under a year, or maybe even a little less before the dreaded double clicking started. Mind you, I was still using it even after the left mouse button signal had gone wonky. It wasnt pleasant, but depending on what you were doing, you could make it work. I cursed at the thing a lot though. I just had to learn to click really hard and decisively if i was say, dragging a window. It was really annoying to say the least, and added a whole new layer of difficulty to many games and such, even making some near impossible as it got worse. After all that, for 15 bucks and the amount of clicking I do, I think this thing has done its job. I THINK. Anyway, thats why im ordering a 2nd one! I tell ya, the power of being used to something is strong. Also it makes things easy because I already have the software and such downloaded (for customizing the lights and DPI). I got almost a year out of the mouse (including the time where i just dealt with the stupid messed up button). I played world of warcraft, hearthstone, etc., and did work related things heavily with it. Im going to keep track of exactly when the left clicker on this one goes bad so i can reference it with the purchase, and maybe ill update my review if its still relevant.

I have been using this mouse for a few months now. I had to stop because I was getting wrist pain. The problem is the placement of the side buttons G4 and G6. In order to use them you have to lift and bend your fingers a lot to get to them. By default, G4 is the back button for browsing so it gets used a lot. I have since switched to the G502 and my wrist has stopped hurting. If you do buy this mouse, I strongly recommend that you only map commands to G4 and G6 that are seldom used.

Its light and cheap, but its not a problem at all. Little light change button go brrrr

My G600 (which I used for the left hand although it is not ambidextrous) died (right button became flaky after three years of daily use; and thats typical for G600 -- it just does not last that long) and I bought this one saving ,say, $15. But there is no free lunch and one important defect of this mouse is that the wheel does not have clicks for left and right tilt ) like say all expensive mice from Logitech, and thus you cant assign macros to tilts. For those who do not use them its OO, but for m this is a big shortcoming. I deducted one star for this. Please be aware that this mouse looks cheap in comparison wit, say $36 Logitech mice like G602 , but it does work and is more conviniet to use with the left hand. But you simply cant compare look and feel quality to G600 of G602 to this student model. You can still use 6 macros with it and Logitech Gaming Software which allows you to program macros in Lua, which are individualized for each application you use (not just games, but any application) As such this mouse is not only for gamers. It is perfectly suitable, for example, for Unix sysadmins as it allows execute complex macros in Windows Terminal emulator such as Teraterm. Also helps for people with RSI who need to change hands in order give affected with RSI hand time to recover. I wish the industry would produce more models of ambidextrous mouse, as RSI is a real epidemic among heavy computer users and professionals, but we have what we have.

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.

Excellent mouse, especially for the price. That it has a pinched body makes all of the buttons easy to use. I previously owned (well still own) a much more expensive logitech gaming mouse (g700s) and the layout of the mouse and placement of the buttons made almost all of them unusable. With the pinched design, you can freely move your index and middle fingers around to any of the top buttons very easily and intuitively. works extremely well with the g13 lefthand gamepad. The automatic game detecting settings work for both devices at the same time, and both devices share the set of per-game functions, so you can assign them to gamepad or mouse buttons very easily, and move them around at will. None of the buttons are dedicated to specific functions like switching profiles or DPI (or even mouse clicks/scrolling) so you can get really creative with how you configure this thing. The actuation force of all of the buttons (and the scroll wheel) are extremely low but also satisfyingly tactile, so you get an appropriate amount of feedback without requiring stressful contortions to get enough leverage to engage the buttons. I wear a large sized glove (which is average/small for men) and the distance and spacing between buttons is perfect for my hand geometry. In my opinions, this sort of button configuration is optimal for both gaming and productivity. When you want it to be a regular mouse, all of the extra functionality is out of the way, when you want to take advantage of the extra buttons, they are within reach and actuating them accurately is not difficult. Best mouse I have ever owned, and one of the cheapest too!

This is a good gaming mouse with some good qualities. It has a long wire which is good for a desktop gaming setup but with a laptop it can be a little weird. A mouse bungee will fix this for just a standard weight you can put on top of the wire (I use a stapler and that works great). The mouse is lightweight which is nice, the mouse has a lot of plastic which makes it feel cheap but to keep it light they had to do it, so I cannot blame Logitech for this. It was dpi up to about 2500 which is much more than anyone can feasibly use so this is fine. The software is useful and helps a lot. The game detection is nice so you can have different key binds and DPIs for different games without having to manually switch it. For the price it is good. The lights are nice, it would be great if they automatically changed colors and had a breathing effect but that is not a big deal to me. If I were looking for a good entry level mouse this is great for that but more serious gamers may want a wireless mouse with weights.

Going along with the many positive reviews about the G300ss advantages, Ill agree it is a good buy for a bit over $20. It functions as it should and seems to be built well. Id forgotten I had this mouse until recently when I discovered it in a junk box of computer stuff. What--looks unused and its a Logitech . . . ? So I hooked it up and pretty soon I remembered why I tossed it in storage. The left and right sides of the G300s mirror each other, so there are twin buttons on either top front corner; this means that my middle finger rests not only on the right click button but also against one of those top corner buttons. Unintended clicks occurred immediately. So I had to download and install Logitechs less-than-stellar software in order to turn off the problematic buttons. The thing is, although Im a righty, I cant imagine a lefty with similarly sized hands would be able to avoid the opposite version of this problem. Like many mouse manufacturers, Logitech is prone to sticking extra buttons anywhere as a misguided marketing ploy. In conclusion: ambidextrous, great; button layout, atrocious.

As a left hander, its hard to find a good mouse. Having reprogrammable buttons in a symmetrical layout is a god send. Which is why I keep a stock of these in my closet to replace the ones that wear out every couple years and buy more when they go on sale because I dread the day when Logitech stops making them. I do have to take some points off because the rubber grips on the side where you place your thumb tend to wear through after a couple months. They also hide the screws to disassemble the mouse under the friction pads so youll have to peel them off if you need to clean or fix anything.
