The Logitech Gaming Mouse G300 is the perfect first-person shooter gaming mouse for casual players looking for better performance than they'd get out of a standard—out of the box—computer mouse.

If you are quickly adaptable to different designs, you should be fine. If not, you may heavily regret a purchase. Me? If I were in the market right now for a $40 mouse, I'd pick one of these up without hesitation. I'd just have to force myself to not look at the ugly red bottom.

On paper, the Logitech G300 looks great. In practice, it's a pretty bog-standard mouse or a pretty poor gaming mouse, depending on how you look at it. We'd have loved to tell you this button-packed mouse was a real bargain but, unfortunately, that's not the case.

The few G-series features missing in the G300 such as customizable weights and free-spin scrolling seem acceptable trade-offs for the reduced price, but Logitech should have included a tilting scroll wheel for the extra buttons.

Logitech's G300 is too small and lightweight for comfortable gaming.

The G300 is a fine wired gaming mouse with a slick design at a reasonable price. Our main quibble: Its optional-but-crucial software was (at least at first) a little balky.
