![Hotline Games [Grip Upgrade] 2.0 Plus Mouse Anti Slip Grip Tape Compatible with Logitech G600 MMO Gaming Mouse Skins,Sweat Resistant,Cut to Fit,Easy to Apply,Professional Mice Upgrade](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51tzsHHuSaL._AC_.jpg)
UPDATE: Dropped to 4 stars because after 2 and a half years of use, the middle mouse button has crapped out. I'm in the warranty process to see if I can get it replaced (if it's within warranty), and will update.
UPDATE 2: Brought back to 5 stars! The moment I contacted support, they sent out a new one, no questions asked! I'd give Logitech 6 stars if I could (although I hope the refurb one they sent doesn't crap out in 2.5 years as well).
I previously had a UtechSmart Venus, which I replaced with a wired Razer Naga 2014, which I then replaced with this guy. The Venus was fine, but the Naga had cooler buttons... but it had tracking issues, which is how I ended up with the Logitech G600. Although its buttons aren't mechanical, they're large, textured, angled, and very easy and comfortable to use. The up and down buttons are at very different heights so it's easy to know which is which, and the entire mouse fits so comfortably in my palm. The one wonky thing is just the right side button (note that this is obviously a right-handed mouse), which rests under your ring finger - I pressed this a few times when using it and ended up disabling it in the Logitech Gaming Software, since 12 side buttons + 2 up/down buttons + 2 left/right scrolls are plenty enough for me now, thank you very much. However if I ever decide to automate my entire computer with my mouse, maybe I'll re-enable the G-shift function, which allows for additional side button binds. That being said, the scroll wheel is very satisfying to use and is very stiff compared to the Razer Naga's. While this isn't too great for scrolling down hundreds of pages of documents, it's very good for controlled scrolling while gaming.
The software for this is probably a bit better than Razer Synapse's, which gave me tracking issues. Logitech Gaming Software is well-designed and really easy to use, and its game-detection works well as well. I also enjoy having more than just green light to choose from, as that pairs well with my Corsair K70 RGB. However, one oddity is that there is a "mode" wheel with three choices - I originally thought that that only entailed lighting switches but guess what? It's actually three button binding modes... per profile. With their own individual lighting settings. Which is excessive. Especially since there's G-shift. But you know, if you wanted 2x12x3=72 different side binds per game so you can almost type the entire alphabet out three times, more power to you, right?
Admittedly, LGS isn't perfect. When I alt-tab out of games it has a habit of not switching back to the game binds until I alt-tab out and back in again. While this isn't an issue with most games, it does bug me in fast-paced multiplayer games like League of Legends or CS:GO, where I have a lot of important functions bound to side buttons. I've died or made hilariously terrible plays many times while mashing my side buttons, only to realize that they weren't bound correctly because I alt-tabbed to change my music. I think there's a way to get around this though, using Logitech's persistent profile settings or whatever. Either way it's not a huge deal.
If you move around a lot but also like to take your profiles with you, you can save I think three profiles to the mouse's hardware, but don't quote me on that.
Anyways, if you're looking for a mouse with extra buttons and you've got $40 to spare, get this. It's pretty great, and the Logitech software is highly customizable. It might look like a mechanical alien hiding in a shell, but you can bind the entire alphabet onto the mouse. Which is pretty cool.
