Customer Review: Excellent mouse for gaming and casual use...
Summary: 5 Stars
I have owned this mouse for 3 months and have nothing but great things to say.
First, I have yet to find a mouse more suited for gaming. It's design is simple and intuitive, allowing for both comfort and functionality.
I am an avid gamer, but my "gaming rig" is also the family computer. Because of this I was looking for a mouse that would allow for improved functionality in gaming without hindering simplicity of use, as my wife is not experienced in the use of a mouse with 50 buttons and a joystick attached.
Concerning gaming:
The software provided to program functionality into the extra buttons is extremely straightforward and easy to use. I was immediately able to customize it to my liking, without any learning curve whatsoever. Furthermore, the settings allow the mouse functionality to be gaming-specific, so that programming a button to perform a function in a game does not interfere with the functionality of the mouse in an every-day situation. Essentially, setting the "back" button to execute a macro in a game does not keep it from performing the standard "back" function in a browser window. The ability to change mouse sensitivity on the fly is extremely useful, and the software also allows you to tailor the various sensitivity settings to suit your needs.
I was also happy to find that the mouse is extremely comfortable, even after hours of continuous use. Not only does the design compensate for my rather large, clunky hands, but I was surprised to find that the material used in the palm rest stays cool even after hours of use.
Concerning day-to-day use:
It maintains a fairly standard design that anyone that has used a multi-button mouse will be familiar with. The thumb buttons perform "forward" and "back" functions in browsers and other windows. The logitech software can be used to program non-gaming related functions, as well, including (but not limited to) adjusting the scroll wheel between single line, mutliple line and full page scrolling. There is not much to be said in this category, other than all of the above gaming related issues apply to day-to-day usage. It's a very comfortable mouse that is pleasant and easy to use, both in and outside of gaming.
Overall, I would highly recommend this mouse if you are looking for a straightforward product without too much complexity that is above all else, reliable.
