This is my technical review of the Logitech G600 gaming mouse.

Consequently, it is also my first EVER piece of fan mail!!

 A very exciting day indeed! I can't thank you enough Nick.

Logitech G600 MMO Gaming Mouse
 20 MMO-tuned buttons
Customization evolved

Pre-configured for optimal MMO use right out of the box. G600 includes three primary buttons, 12 thumb buttons, a clickable scroll wheel that tilts and a G-switch to double down and dominate. Use optional Logitech Gaming Software for full programmability and customization.


Dual-dish thumb panel
Precise and intuitive

Put immediate access to all 12 primary MMO skills under your thumb. The unique dual-dish design of the thumb panel was developed with direct input from both MMO gamers and leading MMO game developers. Field-testing led to two carefully positioned sets of six buttons, helping to reduce both learning time and action timings. And the actuation force is carefully tuned to minimize misclicks.


G-shift button
Double down on control

Use the G-Shift button to double the total number of customizable functions. In its default setting, holding the G-shift button down activates a second function to each G-key. Or set G-Shift to temporary change DPI for extra cursor precision.
 

Custom-color backlighting
Experience illumination

Locate keys in any room with custom backlit keys. Choose 1 out of 16 million colors and assign a unique color to each profile, profile mode, and mode style in the same game. You can tell, without looking down, which mode you’re in to ensure your setup is optimized.

Using the G600 in an MMO is a delight, though one that took me a couple of hours to get used to. The back row of thumb buttons can be a bit tricky to reach, requiring one to move their thumb down slightly, which is a tad awkward, but I barely notice it now. In games like Guild Wars 2, Champions Online, or The Secret World it really proves its worth, freeing the left hand up to focus entirely on movement. With kinetic or more action-based MMOs, this was a massive boon.

Using the software, commands can be reassigned to any button, the lights on the thumb buttons can be customized, even to denote what profile you are using, and DPI sensitivity can be tweaked. As this can all be saved on the mouse, one doesn't have to worry about faffing around fixing profiles should they use the mouse with another PC.
