Logitech Announces Gaming Mouse G300
Logitech unveiled the latest addition to its acclaimed G-Series gaming products, the Logitech Gaming Mouse G300. Designed to give PC gamers an advantage over the competition, the mouse features nine programmable controls, letting you move keyboard commands to buttons that are in easy reach.
Additionally, the Logitech Gaming Mouse G300 lets you store up to three game or player profiles in the mouse's onboard memory, so you can run the mouse without software or even move it between computers without having to reconfigure each time. User-configurable lighting assigns one of seven colors to each profile, so you can easily see which profile you're using. Plus, the mouse's sculpted, ambidextrous shape is equally comfortable in either hand."The Logitech Gaming Mouse G300 is perfect for PC gamers who want intelligent features that give them real benefits in-game" said Chris Pate, senior manager of product marketing for gaming at Logitech. "Whether you need more programmable buttons for your MMO, better precision for targeting enemies in an FPS, or a compact, comfortable shape to get you through hours of gameplay, we've got it covered."
The Logitech Gaming Mouse G300's gaming-grade 2500-DPI optical sensor tracks slow or fast movements on a wide variety of surfaces, so you get exactly the action you want from every incremental hand movement. In addition, optional drag-and-drop software makes it easy to set the Logitech Gaming Mouse G300 up exactly the way you want. The software also works with G-Series keyboards and headsets, so you can create macros once and share them between your G-Series family of devices.
Pricing and Availability
The Logitech Gaming Mouse G300 is expected to be available in the U.S. and Europe in September, for a suggested retail price of $39.99. For more information, visit the product page.

I mainly play games using the keyboard for movement and actions, and using the mouse for weapons and attacks (plus looking/aiming obviously).
As for the buttons i prefer the 2 on the left side for your thumb for vent/ingame voice other than that i use the keyboard.
EDIT: i need more buttons on the mouse as i use all the keys around the arrow keys believe it or not including all the numpad.
For example, Complex is yet another reason i love the game as i am sick of these simple ass games.
\ night vision
Shift run\walk toggle ( i have to use toggle as i kill the shift key else lol )
CTRL lean left
Num 0 Lean right
Num 1 prone
Num 4 kneel
Num 7 stand
Num 2\5 zoom
Num 3\6 zeroing
Num 8 TIR center
Num 9 TIR disabled
Num - compass\ double tap GPS
Num / manual fire on\off
INS switch weapon while flying
Home Map on\off
end\enter select ( all so on mouse wheel middle button lol )
I was remembering yesterday how I used to have jump and crouch on my right and middle click back in CS 1.3, which this mouse would accommodate easily (among other things).
I have the good old Logitech G3 but i never use the wheel click. I just don't like it. I also never use weapons on the wheel. And the right side button is somehow out of my fingers reach so i also never use it. But would like extra 2 buttons on the left side. Still i offload most of commands around the arrow keys which i prefer to use. Though in some games that use loads of commands, i hit a limit and i usually don't play those games well unless they are slow paced like Deus Ex and TES series. Or i just skip commands that i never use (like lean left/right).
Well the way it looks at least.
Middle-click + 2 side buttons is optimal IMO. Any more than that's for pro's :p
I Prefer the MX510 I have, Thinking of the G500 Though w/e that newer one is.
