Review: Logitech G600 is an excellent MMO gaming mouse |
November 28, 2012
The Logitech G600 MMO gaming mouse is one of the finest gaming mice on the market. If you’re looking for a mouse with more programmable buttons than you’ve got fingers, the G600 is well worth the $80 price tag; it even gives accessories from specialized gaming accessory outfits like Razer a run for their money.
The G600 sports 20 programmable buttons and clearly falls into the “more is more” hardware niche occupied by Razer’s Naga MMO mouse. In fact, both MMO mice are competitively price at $80. If you've never heard of this niche hardware category, know that MMO gaming mice are distinguished by a set of 12 keys mapped to the number row on your keyboard by default, which makes the hotkey-heavy gameplay of most MMOs easier on your wrists (and your brain) by letting you use your mouse for most of your spell-casting.
The G600 has a few advantages over the competition, starting with an extra three buttons. In addition to 12 buttons on the right side of the mouse, the left and right mouse buttons, and two additional buttons up top, the G600 sports an extra button that sits below your pinky. The G600 registers pushing the mouse wheel to the left or right in addition to the standard button action when you push down the wheel itself.
While that may be confusing to read, in practice the extra buttons are very convenient once you spend some time with the device. On a mouse that’s trying to stuff extra buttons onto every available surface it’s tough to find places where the user can actually conveniently press them, but Logitech somehow pulls it off with this mouse.
