Logitech Gaming Mouse G300

It's no secret that PC gaming isn't cheap: between the $1,000 desktop rig and $40 games, tacking on $130 for a high-end gaming mouse like the Razer Mamba slowly becomes a necessary truth to your ever-dwindling bank account. However, Logitech is looking to lessen the burning coming from your pocket, offering up its G300 gaming mouse for the low price of $39.99.

Its shape does not discriminate. Whether you are right-handed, left-handed, or eat your bread butter-side down, the G300's ambidextrous structure will serve. The sides curve in and have a soft texture that looks similar to the Logitech Marathon Mouse M705's side grip. The G300 has nine programmable buttons (including the scroll wheel button), each of which you can assign your own customizable keyboard macros or drag-and-drop pre-programmed commands through the SetPoint 6.30 software. Unfortunately, Logitech only supports Windows 7, Vista, and XP operating systems in its downloadable configuration software.

The G300's on-board memory supports up to three game or player profiles. Logitech utilizes a lighting system where you can assign one of seven colors to each profile, so you don't find yourself out of sorts when you're about to load up a Call of Duty deathmatch when your mouse is actually set to your World of Warcraft game profile.

The G300 is wired, so it can handle a 1,000Hz ultrapolling rate. The sensitivity (dpi) on the Logitech G300 doesn't quite go as high as other, more expensive gaming mice like the Razer Mamba, which goes up to 6,400dpi (dots per inch). Its max dpi is 2,500.

The Logitech Gaming Mouse G300 will be available in September.
