Tt eSports Announces the Nemesis Switch Gaming Mouse
Tt eSports, Thermaltake's gaming peripherals division, has announced their new take on what an RGB, MOBA or MMO-oriented mouse should deliver. The Nemesis Switch Gaming Mouse features, as its distinguishing feature, a patented switch system that allows for the customization of up to 12 switch keys. Eight of those are available straight away on the left-hand side of the mouse, with four additional keys being hidden inside the mouse.
"But what good are they for if they're hidden and thus inaccessible?", you ask? That's a good question. That's where the patented system comes in: you simply push the panel where the eight side keys are held, and like magic, four other keys come from inside the mouse. Due to this lever system, you'll certainly lose time with the mechanism rolling inside the mouse and exposing either set of keys, so maybe you should take care which actions you configure these extra four keys with. The twelve macro-supporting programmable buttons are configured by Thermaltake's Tt eSports Plus+ mobile and PC application. The Tt eSports Plus+ app also stores activity logs, performance statistics, and other information.Hardware-wise, this is a pretty regular rodent by today's standards. It features a Pixart PMW-3360 12,000 DPI optical sensor; the ubiquitous Omron switches that grant a 50-million-click life cycle, and on-the-fly DPI adjustment. The braided mouse cable leverages a USB 2.0 connection and comes in at 1.8 m length. There's a customizable three-zone RGB backlighting system capable of displaying 16.8 million colors. There are also two lighting modes available: Pulse, which is a sort of breathing light, and Game mode, which is a little shadier in how it works. The Nemesis Switch can store up to five player profiles with unique macro, DPI, and lighting effect settings. Expect the Nemesis Switch to be available for around $50 in Q3 of this year.

Agreed that the TT eSport design team is off with this design.
the sensor is bad.. very bad...
on side buttons, even with diferent position of the buttons-block .... 12-buttons are too much imo, After using for a while ... my thumb only easily press 6 buttons, the 7 and 8 needs some "attention" to press... the rest I have to reposition my hand to press them... so not very good.
Yeah the scroll tilt buttons are great! my g400s doesn't have it. so I think that are for "mmo" type of mouse's.
In the end G600 is not for everyones palm size ( its big!) and playstyle... but with some adjustments from logitech it could be a great mouse for Work and MMO Gaming.
( I use it to play Warframe mainly, and Web surfing )
Guess it takes more getting used to, because I do kinda need it... still looking for that mouse that treads the fine line between comfortable and flexible.
Also, the first-generation G600 mice had a defect in their sensors that caused the pointer to jump. If you have one, you should be able to get an exchange from Logitech. The easiest way to find out if you have one is via the Logitech Gaming Software. If your G600 cannot take firmware updates, then you have an older defective G600. That old issue aside, a new updated G600 with one of those fancy new optical sensors would be nice too.
Thinking about all this, this Tt eSports Nemesis Switch design might be smarter than I thought. If most people don't need 12 buttons, then only 8 buttons being readily accessible should be fine. I don't know how many of those 8 are easily reachable but I guess I'll try one out when it's available in stores.
