Logitech G-600 Mouse

Has anyone used one of these before?
From the reviews I've seen, it looks to be well built.
Ergonomically, some prefer Razor Naga and some the G-600, more depending on the size of one's hands -- I've never tried a Razor Naga, but the G-600 feels good for me.
It feels close to (but slightly lighter) than my Logitech G5 mouse; moving it with thumb and little finger is a little different from thumb and ring finger, but muscle memory comes fairly quickly.

This has a left/right mouse button.
A scroll wheel, which counts as G3 (clicked), G4 (pushed left) and G5 (pushed right).
A G-Shift button (where the ring finger rests).
G7 and G8, below (closer to the palm) the scroll wheel.

And then 12 (G9 through G20) thumb buttons.
Three Rows of four buttons each.
A B C D
E F G H
I J K L
With ABEFIJ angled towards each other, forming a group of six.
And CDGHKL also angled towards each other, forming another group of six.

If you want to push and hold the G-Shift button, you can make each of the other G-Buttons do a different function.
Most of the reviews I've read/watched, suggest using that button for the Ventrilo/Teamspeak "Push to Talk" function.
It doesn't seem that comfortable, pushing G-Shift and a Thumb Button together.

I wouldn't really consider Left/Right clicks or the Scroll Wheel to be five G-Buttons, nor the G-Shift to be a sixth.
Still, that's 14 actual G-Keys, on the mouse.
Plus the regular Left/Right and Scroll Wheel.
And an optional "Push to Talk" on the mouse itself.

With the software, you can set three profiles for any given game.
And illuminate each with your choice of 16.7 million colors.
I'm planning on clearing the profile, and giving IS Boxer another 14 G-Keys to work with.

Leaning towards...
Thumb Buttons: Slot 1 through Slot 10, and Follow / Spread Out
G-Keys below scroll wheel: Key Map and Repeater Toggles.
G-Shift: Ventrilo's Push to Talk.

I've got one and love it. I prefer it so much more over the razer naga and steelseries cataclysm mmo mice.

With Razer forcing people to use their stupid Synapse Cloud garbage, I've been telling people to go with the G-600. Hopefully someday soon I'll get to grab one for myself.

I have one (I make it a point to pick up a lot of input devices to add support) and I am pretty happy that they implemented the side buttons as extra buttons, instead of just emulating a keyboard. That is a big plus over the Naga for me, though I get a lot of use out of my Naga (which I use on a daily basis) while the G600 is on my multiboxing desktop. I haven't had a lot of time to use my multiboxing desktop recently

I'm not a huge fan of the left/right tilt on the scroll wheel; I re-mapped those. This might just be a product of not having used mice with that feature before really, but I am not sure I want that many degrees of motion on the scroll wheel anyway. I feel like if I was trying to go left or right, I might accidentally click down or scroll when I don't mean to, so I'd have to restrict the usefulness of the buttons to something that doesn't matter that much if I hit it on accident.


I was completely unaware of Razer's Synapse thing, since I don't use the Razer configuration software. I have my Naga in the default 1-= button mode. That's so I can hit the 1 through = buttons without my hands on WASD or ESDF (depending), since often during combat my left hand would be on my G13 (with possible movement via the thumbstick), and my right hand on my mouse (with possible movement via mouselook). Obviously not a tactic for everyone, but it works for me.

I have to agree with Khatovar about Razer Synapse though. Thanks for pointing that out!

lol, the top 3 search hits to my site are "razer synapse sucks" "razer synapse doesn't work" and various swear words + razer synapse. People are REALLY not happy about it, but at least the older Nagas can still use the old drivers.

The left/right tilt is a feature I have as a requirement for any mouse, and is why i never got a naga. I use it for strafe left and right, I use Q and E for FTL DPS buttons.. makes things feel a lot better.. you can strafe kite like this mush easier 8) It also makes moving in and out of good/bad things on the ground way smoother while still dpsing ( if you can dps in the move )

Lax,
Any chance for support of the G700 mouse?

I like that idea.
Had not thought of that, for the scroll wheel tilt.

You'll be hooked 8) You will never own a non tilt mouse again!

One neat trick i use with this method is, when i spread my team out ( formation ) I will hit IWT so they all turn and face the boss and i tap the wheel left or right real easy like, and it stops them. That can be done a number of ways but it just feels better like this. It seems faster/smoother i guess.
