The Perfect Mouse For Casual Gamers

Logitech Gaming Mouse G300 - The Perfect Mouse For Casual                        Gamers





The Logitech Gaming Mouse G300 isn’t for the hardcore gunslinger. It’s more in tune with the casual Call of Duty player who is looking for better performance and features than he’d get out of a standard computer mouse. Its budget price tag makes it an easy choice for first-person shooter players on a budget, and gamers who may not appreciate why you would possibly want to spend $129.99 on a gaming mouse like the Razer Mamba (2012). And though its configuration software may look anemic to enthusiasts, beginners and everyday fans of first-person shooters (fps) will be perfectly satisfied. Undiscriminating against right- or lefthanded users, the G300 has a symmetrical, ambidextrous design. The top of the mouse has a grey matte finish that’s smooth under hand, and doesn’t attract stains or smudge marks. The sides have a black, rubberized coating to help you get a grip during long or intense gaming sessions. The G300 has nine programmable buttons in total: rightand left-click, scroll button, two just below the scroll wheel, and two on either side of   the left- and right-click buttons. The G300 feels light and hollow in-hand compared with other mice; I prefer a gaming mouse with a little more heft to it, so I don’t feel like I’m about to fling the mouse across the room at the slightest jerk. The G300 is wired, and while casual gamers may prefer to clear out the clutter and go for a wireless solution, you won’t be able to get a true 1,000Hz ultrapolling rate that will help keep your shots accurate and your connection stable. There is a plug-andplay functionality when you first connect the mouse to your PC, however, in order to take full advantage of the G300, you’ll want to download the configuration softfirst ware off Logitech’s site. The software is only available for Windows XP, Vista, and 7—no Mac support. The mouse does come with on-board memory, so you’ll be able to go to a foreign PC and play without having to download the software again—with all your pre-configured settings intact. The Logitech Gaming Mouse G300 is the perfect mouse for casual PC gamers to cut their teeth on. Its bare-bones configuration software keeps it simple for newbies and users who want to spend more time playing and less time tinkering. On top of all this is the low price, making the G300 a safe investment. If you want more customizable options in your mouse, however, check out the Gigabyte M8000Xtreme or Razer Mamba (2012).—Natalie Shoemaker
