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.

Most lefties, if they have enough time to train and if they have not been using the mouse in the right hand for a decade or more , play better with the mouse in their left hand
As I said, this mouse is attractive to me. Stuff like jump and crouch and other important buttons are on my mouse for fastest use. I often use 4 finger on my left hand on my mouse
i need at least 5, and prefer 7. ( the extras on this mouse default to stuff like profile and speed control, that i dont use)
CoD4 to CoD2 to L4D to BC2 to SCII - instantly applicable with no learning curve, because i dont mess around with speed or DPI settings.
And i mess around with my DPI settings because i can, and because theres a button right next to my mb1 finger that can instantly switch my DPI up and down. I like to run and gun with a MAC10 at high DPI as it clears the room quicker and i can turn around much quicker then most people can.
Higher DPI>Less hand movement = quicker and faster kills as i dont need to drag the mouse across the pad just to bring the crosshair to bare.
I just look at an enemy and my mind doesnt even need to think about moving the mouse to bring my crosshair to bare and take the shot. It just does it because the controls are so light.
i've adapted to the default system, you've adapted the system to you. good thing we dont have to share a PC/mouse :P
on my new netbook. ive got the mouse speed slider turned right up and to me its just barely acceptable.
It's like giving someone a sniper rifle with a bent barrel and the best scope you can get. Settings and enhancements won't correct bad tools IMO.
I dont even need to move the mouse at all literally. just tap it a few milimeters left or right and it does a full 45-90 degree spin in BC2 depending what DPI level im at.
but i dont have shakey hands in general
