so picked it up and went home to try it out and fits like a glove, and I actually have a use for the side buttons in certain games and makes my life so much easier.
Looks too bulky for my liking. Also, does it have free-spinning wheel? I cannot live without that. Ever.
Free spinning?
You know, I thought that exact same thing, and I'm coming from the DeathAdder, which personally, I think was the best mouse I've ever held, this one is a little bulky but it fits so awesome (I've got huge hands).

With all those button on the G600, I could see myself clicking the wrong stuff a lot.
Again, I thought that too, but Logitech made the buttons with just enough resistance that you can pick the mouse up and not accidentally push any of them. They're also tilted to match the contour of how your thumb lays on them.
The only thing I don't like which is no biggie is the third mouse button all the way to the right basically enabled the 2nd set of programmings to the side buttons which will negate the other two buttons if pushed, so if you're aiming and you accidentally hit that third button, it bypasses the two buttons so it takes you out of aim. I don't have a need for it so I just have it disabled.
What it does is scroll freely, without the typical steps you get on a regular scroll wheel. Compare it scrolling on a touch screen if you will, there's even less friction in the scroll wheel. And you can also (and this is what happens in the video) give it a flick and it'll keep scrolling for a long time (or until you stop it).
It sounds stupid, but trust me, once you have it, you never want to go without it. You can scroll through pages much quicker - and more importantly, much more accurately once you get used to it. If Logitech have patented it, fine, I'll stick with Logitech. Not as if I've liked any other brand ever anyway

Well, if logitech made an ergonomic mouse like the mionix naos 5000 I'd pick it up in a heartbeat. :drool:
Also being able to change the lift-off distance would be nice since I find that the G9x has a much too high lift-off distance than I prefer (and I wish there was a way to change that).
That displays the DPI profile selected. In the Logitech software you can set up to 5 DPI profiles for different situations, and you have a +/- buttons right below the LMB to select a profile on the fly. Really great for Battlefield when aiming them turrets and tanks.
ooooo ok, ya on the fly DPI is amazing. My Deathadder had it but I never used it, because the fucking morons put the button on the bottom of the mouse next to the laser. Really smart move assholes.
My G600 has it but I dont' play FPS much anymore and BF3 I got tired of all the new map packs coming out and people switching over to them so I said fuck it.

That button UNDER the mouse to switch profiles is ingenious...
I haven't seen any other mice that have that. Logitech have been doing this for a long time and it shows.
I have 5 DPI profiles set up on my G500 and I switch between levels for turrets and jets.
That and crappy console ports that have no way to properly reduce sensitivity (at the full 5700 DPI, a sensitivity of 1 is still too high in every engine). Often I need to go back all the way down to 800 DPI then
On a G500, both the DPI switches (just off to the left of the left mouse button) and scroll switch (right behind the scrollwheel) are on top btw
Signature/Avatar nuking: none (can be changed in your profile)
