> 3 dayThis is perfect for me, the right size and placement of the buttons, ALL the buttons are programmable including the dpi buttons . both the left side and right side buttons work, not like some ambidextrous mice that only one side or the other works. The most important thing is it works on linux and I use input re-mapper with no problems,so I didnt have to set this up on another pc. I dont know how long it will last so Im buying a back-up, especially at this price.( nothing lasts anymore, so I dont expect this to last more than a year, but Ill hope for better) Oh I use this for 3d graphics in blender. works great in blender.

> 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 dayIf this were a more durable mouse, I would say its perfect. Left-handed people (particularly those with small hands) have a hard time finding mice, and this one is fantastic due to the size and the fact that there are side buttons on each side of the left and right clicks that all work (they are not just mirrored). I have bought 4 of them now, just about 1 per year. The left-click consistently dies on me. I use this mouse for work and casual gaming. If I could find anything else that fit my hand as well I think I would switch so as not to keep spending $20 a year and adding to the problem of e-waste. But so far, this is the best Ive found.

Greater than one weekI use this mouse for graphic design every day and it lasts only about a year or so before the left click (pick) button develops a key lag. This is when you click on something there is a lag between when you clicked and when it picks. The reverse is true, when you release the left click button there is a lag between when you physically released the button and when it actually does release. This is a WIRED mouse and should not have this lag problem one can have with a wireless mouse. Ive reconciled the fact this mouse is a consumable and must be replaced regularly. I use this mouse only because of the 4 programmable buttons on either side of the left and right buttons. Its time to order a replacement UPDATE: I got the new replacement mouse today, its a huge difference to the other mouse which was only three years old. The new mouse clicks are responsive, doesnt feel mushy like the old mouse. I should have replaced the old mouse a year ago. Like I said this is a good mouse, but only when you treat it as a consumable to replace every year or so if you use it everyday for work or gaming.

Greater than one weekMy friend got me the g300 a long time ago and it finally started having issues so I bought this one (g300s) its pretty much the same but they are very nice. They last a super long time they have extra buttons for shortcuts and gaming buttons. You can customize the lights on the sides and its not expensive at all.

> 3 daySo 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.

Greater than one weekI first purchased this mouse in April of 2017 and I loved it. At the time it was the best mouse that Ive ever owned. The software was easy to download and install which allowed me to customize the lighting, adjust the DPI settings, and bind keys to the buttons. Once I had my settings in place I stored them onboard the mouse and never used the software again. Three and a half years later I have a new computer and my mouse if finally starting to wear out. (The mouse itself is a wonderful product) Naturally I ordered another one. When it arrived and I went to the Logitech website to download the new software-which would allow me to adjust the DPI, change the color scheme, and rebind the keys- the G hub software would not detect the Logitech product. I made sure that the drivers were up to date through windows and through the software folder (which at one point actually contained drivers according to older videos of how to fix this problem on Youtube) The drivers were not the problem. Ive gone through numerous trouble shooting tips and under no circumstances will the G hub software detect the mouse, nor is there any way to get drivers through the Logitech site. The software was updated to the latest version and still nothing works. Its sad. I love this mouse, its the only one Ive ever used that was comfortable for my small hands and had just enough keys for me to do the things that I need to do in games, and its no longer a viable option for me because the software that supports it is so bloated and useless. EDIT: I finally got the right software to work. The Logitech Gaming Software is the only software in the software maze on the Logitech site that will actually work with this mouse. Not only that, but the current version-which states that it is compatible with Windows 10-will give you a message saying otherwise when you try to install it. So not only do you have to navigate the Logitech maze of software packages *(Many of them claiming to work with their mouse products, while in fact not working) you will also have to use an older version of the Logitech gaming software to actually be able to customize your mouse functions.

Greater than one weekIt took only a few months for the cable to start shorting out right by the usb plug. Luckily I was able to save myself from any inconvenience and cut off the plug attach a new usb plug to it, but kinda lame that the original quit working so soon.

> 3 dayThe G300s is my first gaming mouse. Until now I had been using a Logitech M510 wireless. I have large hands, so for me, the M510 was a more comfy fit, as its a tad longer than the G300s. However, the G300s is still pretty comfortable and features a symmetrical build, so that it would also suit lefties. The software is easy to use. The LEDs are cool. The scroll wheel is a little on the small side, so it can take some getting used to for bigger handed folks. Theres no squeak whatsoever to the wheel though, and its rubber coated and feels good. The USB cable is pretty thin and flimsy, however, it is nice and long, 6 ft or so I reckon. So I was happy that I didnt have to re-position my case from being on my left side. The gaming buttons are nice. Im glad I can finally use my mouse for my mic button rather than half to stop and hit a keyboard key while in game. So far the response time does seem significantly quicker than with the wireless mouse I was using before. I recommend using this mouse with a mouse pad, which will be my next purchase. It does seem a bit friction-y on my bare wood desk. The left and right click buttons both feature that nice click feeling that Im familiar with having used logitechs before. All-in-all, for under 30 bucks, this is a great budget gaming mouse. UPDATE: Ive since purchased a Redragon mousepad, and must say, the mouse works and feels great on a mouse pad. And after a couple months of heavy use, everything is working wonderfully. No squeaking of the mouse wheel, and the click buttons and programmable buttons still work like new
