Logitech went the extra mile when considering how to make the mouse easier to use for players. However, this learning curve does not last long, and by the second day of use it didn’t require any extra thought or effort. For the first 20 minutes or so of using the mouse, I did occasionally (and expectedly) hit the wrong button as my hand got accustomed to the new mouse.

There is a minor learning curve if you’re not used to a mouse that has 18 additional buttons. It took slightly longer to not accidentally click the third button while gripping or moving the mouse, but since this button doesn’t have a direct function in most applications, this really was not a major source of frustration. It’s not overly bulky and the plastic shell is molded remarkably well the time it took to transition from my significantly smaller basic mouse was practically nonexistent. A good example of this is if, during a sniping section of a game that requires more precision, the press of the button will cause the mouse to track with a higher DPI rate, then switch back to resume normal gameplay. Under the hood, the technology is impressive the mouse has a maximum tracking rate of an insane 8200 DPI (as well as up to 1000 USB reports per second), a value that can be adjusted on the fly to another value if the option is set up. The real party trick of the mouse is that the third primary button actually functions much like the Control key on a keyboard, in that it gives a second function to the other buttons. This includes the 12 buttons on the left side of the mouse where the thumb naturally rests, a clickable scroll wheel that also clicks left and right, two buttons below the wheel, and three primary mouse buttons.

Logitech’s new gaming mouse, the G600, is designed with massively multiplayer games in mind, and packs an impressive 20 buttons for assigning any hotkey or keyboard shortcut to the mouse. How many buttons do you prefer with your gaming mouse? Are you a fan of the two buttons, or do you prefer to have a third middle button? What do you say to a mouse that has 20 buttons? That might seem ludicrous, but the wizards at Logitech have given us a reason to not only use a mouse with a ton of buttons, but to also seriously consider never going back.
