You'll be palming this will fit most hand sizes. once you get used to the shape of the buttons they are pretty easy to accurately press. The side buttons are kind of squishy but their shapes are offset. It is very light so if your looking for a heavier mouse you might not like this one. it's originally meant as an MMO gaming mouse but works well for everything. The sheer amount of programmable buttons is insanely handy. I've been using this mouse for a little over a year now and i gotta say it makes it really hard to use any other mice.

If we waste less brainpower on keyboard shortcuts and menu-browsing, we can achieve a new level of creative focus and flow that may have the potential to take our work to the next level. At the end of the day, processing images is a creative endeavor, and whether we realize it or not, all of the clunky keyboard shortcuts and general two-handedness of the traditional Photoshop workflow introduce interruptions to our creative flow. Though drawing tablets offer finesse and a more traditional brush-and-canvas method of interfacing with Photoshop, I believe the functionality of the G600 more than makes up for what it lacks. It is cheaper than even the low-end Wacom tablets and offers much higher functionality. The G600 is quite budget-friendly and can be purchased at B&H for a bargain. This auto-switching works quite seamlessly and really enhances the experience of using this mouse.
#Logitech mouse side buttons settings software#
One of the critical features of this mouse is the ability to detect when you have switched to another software program and automatically switch to the profile associated with whatever program is open in your current active window. Logitech Gaming Software, the program used to customize your mouse, allows for multiple profiles, which can be associated with different software. I have these buttons set to Stamp Visible, Rasterize Layer, Convert to Smart Object, and Hide Marching Ants. Logitech even thoughtfully set these buttons at different heights, which allows for quick and easy control. Just behind the scroll wheel are two additional middle click buttons, which can contain up to four commands when used with the G-Shift button. You can even hold it down to quickly undo several commands, e.g. The obvious assignment for these buttons is undo and redo. Push the wheel to either side and you get a tactile "click," which can be programmed as well. It can pretty much do whatever you want.Īnother feature that sets this mouse apart from its competitors is the tilting scroll wheel. I have a button assigned to invert the brush and buttons programmed to invert a layer or a mask. Similar to the zooming function, I can hold the button I have assigned to Alt + the right-click button and drag the mouse to either side to increase or decrease the size of a brush. I have buttons programmed for Alt, Ctrl, and even buttons assigned to many of my favorite Actions that I have recorded. Clicking the scroll wheel lets me Pan, and shift+clicking it zooms me to 100% viewing. You can have virtually all of your favorite Photoshop commands and actions at your fingertips, which makes for fast and seamless processing.įor example, I have one of the 12 side buttons programmed to the Shift key, which means I can conveniently hold that button down and drag the mouse from side to side to zoom in or out. This may seem excessive to the uninitiated, but with the amount of commands and actions used regularly in Photoshop, the 40 slots fill up quickly. This functionality truly sets the G600 apart from other mice and peripheral desktop devices. When held down, this button shifts all 20 functions to another set of programmed functions, for a total of 40 programmable functions. What really sets the G600 apart is the "G-Shift" Button, which is a third button where you rest your ring finger. Other mice on the market can do this, though, and some of them are even wireless. You can even record delays between keys and clicks. The 12 highly tactile side buttons along with the other eight buttons can be programmed to any combination of keys and mouse functions using the Logitech Gaming Software included with the mouse.
