Logitech isn’t exactly new to the gaming peripheral scene , however the company knows its strength lies not in pleasing hardcore FPS fans, it’s in delivering solid consumer products. The G300 isn’t a gaming mouse for the twitchy virtual gun slingers accessible, it’s for fogeys that fireside up the occasional shooter, but want better performance than they get out of the pointer filled with their PC. The nine programmable buttons and a couple of,500dpi laser aren’t jaw-dropping, but they’re certainly respectable for less than $40. It does pack one interesting feature — gaming profiles which are stored at the mouse’s internal memory. This fashion you could hooked up different configurations for particular games or even move the mouse across PCs with none hassle. And, the lighting at the side will glow different colors to spot which profile you’re using. Once you look ahead to the G300 to land in September, have a look at the PR after the break.
