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

Ill keep my review brief, but note the following points: * Overall a pretty good overall * Use it as a lefty mouse and, like some reviewers, havent found anything better on the market. * Build quality feels okay, nothing special. Its like a generic Dell mouse with something extra that kicks it up a notch. Maybe its the rubber grip or the fine-tuned *click* of the mouse button. Who knows. * Starting to notice that left button (normally, a right button if using right hand) is acting funky with just about two years of causal use. I see one reviewer gave the mouse one star for durability. I think thats a little low. This is a decent mouse for the price and, as mentioned above, is probably the best option for left-handed users who dont want to spend a hundred bucks or more on something.

I do like this item

Ive 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.

Config is similar to other far more expensive Logitec gaming mice that Ive owned. Its light but probably has weights at bottom so very solid / hefty feel low center of gravity The price went up after I bought when I thought about buying a couple more as gift. It is very ergonomic and works with left hands. button action very positive. ALT button outside normal finger position but close. Chip inside does comparable resolution and Sampling rate to 15 yo top end laser mice. Sliding surface is thick, slippery. Cord is slippery so drag isnt an issue. The weak points, furthest ring finger is a reach for me in my fav postion, button config app does Everything so Id rather have complex setup with easy to swap configs for desktop painting/cad apps.

For 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.

First off, I am very happy with this mouse. To give a second opinion to a couple of the other common comments on this mouse: 1. Is it too small? -- This was my biggest worry when I decided to go ahead and purchase this mouse. Yes, it is relatively small. No, I do not think it is not too small. I wear a mens large or XL when buying gloves yet I still find this mouse very comfortable for extended gaming sessions. 2. Too many/not enough buttons. -- I picked this mouse, from within the Logitech lineup because it has, in my opinion, the perfect amount of buttons. If it is still too many for you, you turn them off or duplicate the function of a nearby button using the Logitech Gaming Software. My only gripes are with the Logitech Gaming Software (LGS). I have a Logitech G410 RGB Keyboard which is great and I love the customization available through the LGS. When I was shopping for a new mouse, I wanted one with cutomizable keys and RGB to match. I also didnt want to have to mess with multiple drivers clogging up my system so I was heavily leaning toward Logitech. It turns out, the RGB highlight on this mouse, currently, cannot by syncd with the color or effects of the keyboard. On top of that, you are limited to 8 pre-defined colors instead of the 16 million available on the keyboard :/

I bought this to replace my Logitech G600

I love it. Well built, looks cool (you can change the LED colors to your liking, including turning them off), buttons work great, but whats a real standout is the software is EXCELLENT on MacOS and highly configurable on a per app basis. You can customize all 9 buttons and can toggle 3 configurations giving you 15-20 button options per app (youll keep the L and R clicks and 1 button to act as the toggle, then the rest is left to you!). Im a creator, and having custom buttons for common Photoshop and 3D app keys and menus is pretty awesome. Played a bit of OG Doom with it, I can see the usefulness in dynamically setting your DPI (sensitivity/response) while playing... could be useful for purposeful work too, well see. I rock a Wacom pen on my right hand, and this mouse on my left.. its good for balance, offsets fatigue/carpal tunnel/tennis elbow like issues. The quality and experience surpasses the price, a must buy if youve got an ordinary mouse and want to go to the next level.

I purchased the Logitech G300s optical gaming mouse about a month ago. I bought it because my previous non-gaming mouse had succumbed to the beating of using it for gaming every day for half a year. In the short time I’ve had the mouse I can’t speak entirely for its durability, but from what I’ve done with it so far it seems to be fairly well made. It has an interesting feature that was different than what I was used to-the secondary buttons are on the top instead of the side. At first it took some getting used to, but it’s much easier to use when the buttons are right at your fingertips already and you don’t have to move your fingers to use them. The mouse has a lot of different programs and settings to cater it to exactly what you want for it. It has three internally stored custom settings you can use for each different game. The lights on the side of the mouse will light up a specific color for each setting you use. For example, if I prefer to use a faster mouse speed for one game and a slower speed for another, I can have stored programs that you select that will alter the settings depending on what game you’re in. I find this feature great since I play multiple games. The mouse is very responsive, and the settings on the speed go very far in both directions. You can have the DPI set very high or very low. I have noticed though that sometimes the DPI will randomly change The shape of the mouse is great for someone who uses a claw style grip on the mouse(using fingertips instead of lying fingers down flat on the mouse) because it is so small. If you were someone who uses a palm style grip I would not recommend this mouse. It does draw a lot of power, so using it on a laptop while not plugged in will drain your battery fairly fast. Other than these few problems, I still give it four stars.

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.
