Logitech G300 Gaming Mouse Technical Points
Equipped with a gaming grade optical sensor and a 1 millisecond report rate, the G300 provides precision accuracy and cuts out all but the shortest lift distance movements. While
much lower than most laser mice on the market, apart from trying to turn a tank on Battlefield Bad Company 2, one rarely needs more than 2500 dpi that this mouse can detect. You can make 4 dpi presets for each of mouse mode.
Because of both the small size and ambidextrous design, Logitech did not put thumb buttons on the G300. Instead they opted for an additional 6 conveniently placed finger buttons. The design and placement of the extra buttons is phenomenal. Using them seems to become second nature and you soon come to forget your desire to use your thumb. This brings the total to 9 fully programmable buttons (if you include left click, right click, and middle mouse button). Yes, you can program the left, middle, and right mouse buttons with anything; including extensive macros. But this mouse is designed for gamers, so let’s get real and admit that you are never going to change those. This still leaves you with 5 buttons to change at your whimsy and 6 if you decide to change modes in the software instead of having a button dedicated to “mode swap.”
Logitech has given this mouse enough onboard memory, to incorporate 3 modes. Each mode will allow total customization of the buttons and their functions, and even the color of the LEDs on both sides of the mouse. With 7 selectable colors (8 if you include “off” as a color) it is no problem to find a color that feels right for each application. For myself, blue is for office work and contains lazy macros for copy and paste, yellow is for gaming and includes a button to temporarily shift the dpi to a low setting for sniping, and my wife’s desired functions are tied to the pink mode.
