CONCLUSION
When i first started using the G600 MMO gaming mouse i have to say that it felt quite bulky and frankly it is but thanks to its ergonomic design and the 12 thumb buttons it doesn't take long to get past that. So for the past 12 days we tested the G600 with several games including Planetside 2, Warframe, Tomb Raider, Crysis 3, Bioshock Infinite and the latest Mass Effect 3 Citadel DLC. As you can see none of us here is much into RTS games right now (because there haven't been any good ones lately, aside the expansion for StarCraft II) so i thought that the G600 would be at a disadvantage when playing fast passed 1st/3rd person shooters. Well at first the G600 did feel weird under my hand but like the others after me agreed you don't need much time to get used to it, at least not for all of us who happen to have medium sized hands (people with large hands may have an issue with the design and size of the G600). Also the 12 thumb buttons require a good amount of power to press so you don't have to worry about using one or more accidentally while playing (unlike other gaming mice). Gliding was also excellent while the 8200DPI laser sensor is extremely accurate so even hardcore gamers should feel right at home with it. My sole issue is with the powder coating of the G600 which not only attracts dust like a magnet but also gets scratched quite easily. Perhaps the white version is different but since we received the black one we can't really say.
When you are out to buy a gaming mouse designed for MMO games featuring 12 thumb buttons (20 in total) and a lightning fast 8200DPI precision laser sensor you know that it will cost quite a bit but luckily the G600 MMO gaming mouse has a rather balanced price tag since you can currently find it for USD61.38 inside the USA (Purchase Directly From Amazon.com) and for 70Euros inside the EU (Purchase Directly From Amazon.co.uk). Of course that price tag puts it right beneath the Razer Naga Hex so it all comes down to personal preference. The Naga Hex is a bit longer and looks quite better but offers less buttons (11 vs 20) and is not as fast as the G600 (5600DPI vs 8200DPI). In the end however we all place performance and features first when testing a gaming mouse and that's why the G600 MMO Gaming Mouse gets our Golden Award.
