400, 500 or 600? 400 has excellent sensor, 500 has extra buttons, 600 has a **** ton of buttons
To everyone on the edge or not sure which to get, go with the G500. It's a great mouse and a steal for $40.
Anyone using the G600 buttons for tasks other than games? I'm thinking of picking one up to use with photoshop, but I'm not sure if I would really use it after getting used to all the keyboard shortcuts. Seems that photoshop is so mouse intensive that it would kind of make sense though. Any recommendations there?This also got me thinking about typing for people who only have use of one hand. If you could set the software up right on the G600 you might be able to type using only the buttons on the side (and combinations with the buttons on top). With 12 buttons you'd need at least two different modifier buttons to change the mapping of those on the side. From what I've read, it looks like only the ring finger button is able to do that. Are any other buttons able to change the button mapping for the side bank. I bet there are at least a few people out there who would really benefit from a combined one handed mouse/keyboard solution. I'm tempted to buy one just to try it out.
Using it as a number pad... hadn't thought of that. That would be a great way to move to TLK, which I'd love to do if I didn't have to do data entry with numbers a couple of times a week.Thanks for the tip. I may have to try that out.
The G500 series has the button on top to unlock the scroll wheel for smooth/fast scrolling. After getting used to having it, sucks to go without. Thanks for the heads up, I just ordered a G500S, my G500 gets retired for a spare!
