Greater than one weekFor a 20$ price range mouse, it works well. One can with ease use either hand and one finger for both keys. While not a WoW Mouse, 6 additional keys is fine for most basic things if one wants. The wheel feels like it might not last decades but should be fine a few years.

> 3 dayI like Logitec. The secondary buttons are very close to l/r mouse buttons. Too easy to click those by mistake.

> 3 daythis is a good mouse with buttons in the right places if like me you mouse left handed this should work pretty well for you my only complaint is the weight it is too light so if you like a heavier mouse you may want the more expensive one that has a weight system but is not quite as ambi as this one is

> 3 dayI have owned three of these so far and Im back ordering another one. I play WoW and find the additional buttons incredibly helpful, though Ive opted to only use the left two now (originally I programmed all of them, but found I was too used to using the keyboard; I mouse over macrod my dots and most common hots to the left two and thats all I really need). In order to use the additional buttons in WoW, you have to set it up a specific way (easily googled), but the left two are no brainers. My kid uses it for several other games as well. My mice are abused by five kids, but theyve held up pretty well. I had to replace one because they were using the USB port on my laptop on the same side as the couch arm, which then crimped it too many times and the wire eventually broke. Totally our fault. The one Im ordering today is due to it having a double click issue-if I click on anything, it automatically double clicks. Ill actually be trying to fix this myself but I want a backup in case I fail/break it. However, Ive had this mouse for well over a year and its the most used one, so I really cant complain-especially since, as I said, its abused by kids. Lol.

> 3 dayIf you ever switch your mouse hand - this is the mouse for you. Though it will only fit well if you have a medium-sized hand.

Greater than one weekA 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.

> 3 dayFirst of all, this is the most ergonomically comfortable mouse Ive ever used. It feels like it was molded for my hand. Id say I have medium to large hands, but very slender; not meaty hands. I still think the mouse would feel good to meat-handed people, though. The second thing I like is the positioning of the extra buttons. Most gaming mice have buttons on the sides so you can press them with your thumb, but pressing buttons with your thumb doesnt have the same natural feel as pressing buttons with your other fingers, in my opinion. Also, Im new to PC gaming, so some of the different keys for Rainbow Six Siege (a first-person shooter) are very difficult for me to use, especially while trying to use other keys as well. For example, if I want to strafe to the right while cooking a grenade, Id have to press D (strafe right) and G (grenade). Well, D and G both require the left index finger to press. I solved this by binding G (grenade) to the top left extra mouse button. Melee (V) was also a difficult key for me to press if I wanted full control of movement, so I binded (bound?) that to the bottom left mouse button. Additionally, pressing 2 to switch to your secondary weapon was too much for me, so I bound that to the top right mouse button. Finally, pressing U for push-to-talk is absurd if I want to just give a quick message to a teammate while moving around, so I bound that to the bottom left mouse button. Its just super convenient, these four extra buttons on top of the mouse rather than on the side of the mouse. It also has plenty of versatility with the DPI settings. Highly recommended. Though keep in mind this is my first gaming mouse, so Im not familiar with how others feel when using them. I just know that if I ever need to replace this one, I will be replacing it with the exact same model.

> 3 daySo Im a tall woman and I thought the petite size might be better than the M720 which I bought simultaneously to test. Although its thinner, its actually LESS ergonomically comfortable than the M720 which is chunkier. This one is smaller than your hand which requires some hand tension. I expected to like this better because its wired and thus less prone to nonsense, but I didnt. The main killer is that the Logitech software for this mouse doesnt allow you to assign any of the billion buttons to double click! Thats idiotic. Conversely, the Logitech software for teh M720 allows you to assign an advanced click option of double click to the middle mouse wheel which is awesome. Skip this one and try the other if you can handle having a bluetooth/USB mouse (it does both.) If you cant live without a wired mouse and dont mind no double click, this might be fine for you.

> 3 dayGoing 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.

Greater than one weekAs 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.
