> 3 dayIve owned this mouse for over six months. My wireless mouse was no longer cutting it for playing Overwatch, so I figured it was time to buy a gaming mouse. This is my first gaming mouse so I cant tell you how well it compares to other mouses, but I can tell you that it was a great upgrade for the price. Its precise, and I havent had any performance issues with it at all. Its got a blue color underneath that looks like it belongs in a 1950s kitchen. Thats to say that it isnt very attractive, nor does it fit with the gaming theme. However, its barely visible when the mouse is being used. The rest of the design looks and feels great. Its got a light in it as well. You can choose from seven colors, or choose to leave the light off, based on the profile youre using. Its an easy way to check which profile youre using at the moment. I dont just use my computer for gaming; I do homework and various other tasks as well. So its nice that its easy to switch between the three different profiles Ive saved. One is programmed for gaming with the DPI maxed out, the next setting is set for casual use, and the third setting is just the wild card. All I have to do is hit a button on the mouse and it switches profiles. You can also set what the other buttons do based on the profile youre using. All in all, a great purchase. I cant believe I was gaming with the wireless mouse for so long.

> 3 dayI’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.

> 3 dayIve been using an HP 1500 wired mouse for over 10 years. Was about to order the same model (they sell it here on Amazon) when I saw this mouse. Since it has the same basic shape and is wired (hate messing with batteries at the most inoppourtune time in a game) I ordered it after a little research. I like everything about the mouse except the software you need to download to change button features. Some reviews and the Logitech site said GHub works. It didnt on my 64 bit Windows 7. Digging further, I found that the the older software version, Logitech Gaming Software, worked. I was able to change the features I wanted. The problem is that installing this software and its drivers killed my Logitech joystick. Since I created a restore point prior to installing the software, I just used Windows System Restore to unistall the software and drivers. Thankfully, I had selected to save the changed features onto the mouses internal memory so all the changes I made were still there. So if I want to change features in the future, Ill have to create a restore point, install LGS, make my changes, save to mouse memory, then uninstall LGA via system restore.

Greater than one weekI had the original Logitech G300 years ago for gaming. OA couple of years later one of the mouse buttons quit working after I slammed it down in frustration during an Urban Terror match. I purchased the same mouse again to replace it. Years later, the little pads on the bottom of the mouse had worn out and I decided to try a new mouse but didnt like it as much. Tried a couple more with the same outcome and decided to go back to my old favorite again and wondered if I would even be able to find it still. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that Logitech had released an updated version of my old favorite in the G300S and hadnt changed the buttons at all. The ambidextrous design makes locating the desired buttons easy to remember and execute in the fraction of a second. It may be a little outdated in todays gaming mouse market, but its still my weapon of choice.

> 3 dayIve been using the G300 mouse for years. Most of us are used to using navigation buttons reachable by your thumb, so I thought the button placement would be odd. I find the placement fine and just end up using my clicker fingers for those buttons. What I do like the most is that the mouse is pretty much fully programable. You can move it computer to computer if needed and still have the same buttons programed to the same function. Everything is stored internally. I always keep a spare G300, and my previous G300 started double clicking after heavy use. Since my spare is now in service I ended up buying 2 more since they were on sale. Definitely a great mouse for the price!

> 3 dayI have been using this mouse for years and have had to replace it more than I would have liked. I always have a backup, because with no warning, it will simply conk out. I am NOT left handed, or even ambidextrous, and really cant do much except push the mouse buttons and scroll with my left hand. So the buttons being on top is brilliant when gaming. I just happen to have gotten into the habit from day one of using my left hand for my mouse, so my right hand was free to take notes or to write things down. This is the only mouse for me, and I hope I can always find one when I need it!

> 3 day* Most companies block softwares but the memory is internal hardware so I programmed the buttons at home and it still works at work. Big plus!* A bit smaller than previous mouse. The material does not feel cheap. Scroll wheel works great and is very smooth. The resolution is adjustable and I have it 1500 dpi and the cursor moves a lot more accurately. Buttons are programmable, but you need to find the right Logitech software which was not easy. No instruction came with the mouse and many links on their web site dont work anymore. I spent more than 30 min. Great mouse but lousy software/support.

> 3 dayAfter a little over a month, the scroll wheel has certainly become annoying. Its stiff, like it doesnt want to move. It moves, you just have to really try.

> 3 dayThe mouse is relatively comfortable even in my giant hands, and as a leftie, and certainly does its job well. If I was to utilize the extra buttons on it, Id like it FAR more than the usual gaming mouses buttons, as theyre placed differently, and their location is FAR superior in that it is far less likely for me to accidentally bump them while using it. Ive had a more classically laid out gaming mouse, and could not stand where the buttons were placed because I would constantly bump them. All in all, its a good mouse, especially so if youre looking for a cheaper priced gaming mouse. Id certainly say to give it a go if youre on the hunt for a new moose. Er... louse? House... no no thats not right... AH WELL, you get the point haha

> 3 dayI’ve been using this mouse for over a year now. My mouse gets a lot of use daily! I have small hands and almost every other mouse I’ve ever had in the past 20+ years (from the cheapest ones to Razor ones) has left my hands aching. And often some buttons have just been too difficult to use. This mouse doesn’t have as many programmable buttons as many of my past ones, but it has at least as many as I’ve ever been able to reliably use. I haven’t missed the extra buttons at all. The smaller size means my clicks actually go through, and my hand doesn’t ache all the time! I spent a bunch of time researching smaller mice (and reading so many reviews) before I chose this one to try. I do not regret my choice. After a year or so of hard use, I started to notice some slight issues with the clicking. I’ve had enough experience now to not wait until it becomes a bigger problem, so I ordered a replacement. My last 2 Razors each lasted longer, but in the end, the clickers in them still went. They were more expensive to replace so I continued to use them way too long that way. I could have kept using my old one, it was still fine most of the time, only giving me issues with pretty specific uses. And my partner was able to get multiple switches for less then half the cost of replacing it, so I could have just used it with a new clicker If I’d wanted to. But now we have a backup mouse the next time someone’s mouse dies. Or I have a few replacements I know I like, if they stop making this model (which happened with the one mouse I previously really liked).
