Hardware review request : Logitec 600

[rfarris]

The Logitech 600 is great, especially if you're using ISBoxer, because it is natively supported. It has way more buttons than I would like (I'd rather have fewer, bigger buttons) but the fact that the buttons aren't (necessarily) mapped to the keyboard means that you have 16 buttons under your thumb is very convenient.

Actually, it's a lot more than 16 since you've got the GShift {whatever} and 3 "modes" you can flip through per profile, lol. I think you can also set up a hotkey to swap between profiles to get another round of modes, but I haven't played with that at all.

I've had my g600 for over a year now and I love it. Like Lyonheart says, the tilt wheel is a huge improvement. My g600 has a better texture on it that my Naga did and stays cooler in the hand. It's heavier and bulkier than my Naga, which took some getting used to, as did the wedge-style buttons. I find the 3rd row of buttons harder to use with the g600 than I did with the Naga's flat buttons.

I wish there was a text alert or popup in the corner of the screen to alert which mode you were in on a profile, like there was with the Naga profiles, but no luck there. Instead you need to depend on the LED color of the side buttons. But, it's still made me far happier than the Naga in the end.
