There is no such thing as a perfect mouse for work and gaming. For gaming I like MM720 and Attack Shark X3. For work: Logitech G305. You can't work witha claw grip.
I bought it just because I wanted to see what it was about these new (back then) super light mice.I personally use the HyperX Pulsefire Haste and love it for work and play. Super lightweight, comfortable for larger hands, and durable. Also, I prefer wired peripherals that I don’t need to recharge.
If you write and code you mostly don't need a mouse!Yes you can. Depends on what you do. I write and code mostly. No need to change mouse, which is great. Logitech Superlight all the way for me.
Admit it… you write your code using vi.If you write and code you mostly don't need a mouse!
I will second the G600, with one big caveat (more on that in second). The mouse fits big hands well, and I use it for gaming and CAD, where all those thumb buttons are supremely useful. The Naga is also fine, but vastly overpriced. I bought 3 G600 units when I happened to catch a great sale, for the price of a single Naga - so now I have backups when the switches start to go wonky.Having a G400S based on old design of MX500, was an still is an amazing mice for work and gaming, for my type of grip.
But currently I ressurected a G600 MMO with cronic switch problem ( replaced all switchs )... not the best mice for FPS games, because of the mid-level sensor, but far superior on everything else. Its aimed for big hands, and it has the 3th mouse click.
Yeah the LGS software was way better, and much more easy to use. G Hub is showoff app its sad how bad it is, but G hub works better in Win11 than LGS. Win10- use LGS, Win11-use Ghub.I will second the G600, with one big caveat (more on that in second).

The caveat, though, can be a big one: The current Logitech software suuuuuuuuuucks! Logitech Gaming Software worked well, but stopped being developed in 2022 and they are concentrating on G Hub for the gaming connections. G Hub is terrible, difficult to configure, does not always switch to the game you are playing, generally buggy all around. It's bad enough that once my final G600 gives out, I'll be moving away from Logitech in general - they seem to be floundering in some of the driver department, which is a bad sign for a peripheral company...
G Hub is just fine, besides, you don't even have to use it at all after transfering the profile to onboard memory. Any good mouse should have onboard memory in 2024.Yeah the LGS software was way better, and much more easy to use.

You can still use LGS, its not updated, but still works. Don't even try going to Steelseries software ecosystem... it way worse than G hub.
About the G600, if you run into clicking problem just replace them from a budget mice or an old one. I removed Kailh switches from an old budget Logitech, and replaced the Omron ones in the G600.. clicking like no other. Logitech will not make more of them.

I agree. I am using a Logi MX Master 3. Battery life is good, though as it ages, I can tell the battery won't hold a charge quite as long. It would be nice if I had a charging/mouse pad, and the mouse could wirelessly charge while being used (or sitting idle at night).One thing I learned from the years is that your battery life is more important than accuracy for a wireless gaming mouse.
Most of these super accurate mouse have a battery life of below 6-8 hours and offer really little over a more generic tracking technology with a battery life over 175 hours.
I am using a G604. I loved it so much that I bought another one when it was on sale for 50$. The scrolling wheel is really good and the button are button layout is offering something other mouse doesn't. It is great for making shortcuts in RPG or FPS. Not to mention great battery life lasting you over 2-3 months.
It is not the perfect mouse, but it is one of the best I owned.
Currently have 3 wireless Logitech mice. Each a different model and each use AA batteries. G305 etc. I love them but two of the mice had the left buttons start double clicking and I have bought some better, aftermarket switches to do the swap sometime, if I ever get round to doing it. We will see...
