That's the main thing that made <strong>me <\/strong>upgrade my mouse.<\/p>\n<p>I had a perfectly fine Logitech G502 that served me well, but in my never-ending quest to find the most efficient way to work and be productive, I realized that I could be doing some functions much more efficiently if I could bind them to a single key.<\/p>\n<p>My keyboard had key macro functionality, but they were in an unergonomic place, so reaching for them was a pain.<\/p>\n<p>Why would I bother when I could use a keyboard shortcut in the same time it took me to reach the macro?<\/p>\n<p>And that's when I found out about the Logitech G600, a mouse made for MMO games.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_12795\" style=\"width: 741px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><noscript><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12795\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-with-border wp-image-12795\" src=\"https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2021\/08\/logitech-g600-mouse-side-buttons.jpg\" alt=\"Logitech G600 Mouse - Side Buttons\" width=\"741\" height=\"234\" srcset=\"https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2021\/08\/logitech-g600-mouse-side-buttons.jpg 741w, https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2021\/08\/logitech-g600-mouse-side-buttons-300x95.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 741px) 100vw, 741px\"><\/noscript><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12795\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-with-border wp-image-12795 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20741%20234%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt=\"Logitech G600 Mouse - Side Buttons\" width=\"741\" height=\"234\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20741%20234%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E 741w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 741px) 100vw, 741px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2021\/08\/logitech-g600-mouse-side-buttons.jpg 741w, https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2021\/08\/logitech-g600-mouse-side-buttons-300x95.jpg 300w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2021\/08\/logitech-g600-mouse-side-buttons.jpg\"><p id=\"caption-attachment-12795\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.logitechg.com\/en-us\/products\/gaming-mice\/g600-mmo-gaming-mouse.910-002864.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Logitech G600<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p>Including the usual three buttons\u2014right click, left click, and middle mouse\u2014it had a total of 20 completely customizable buttons.<\/p>\n<p>I was in macro heaven.<\/p>\n<p>Combined with the Logitech software, I could program so many previous annoying functions onto the keys and have them ready to go on the tip of my thumb!<\/p>\n<p>It was worth it to not have to move my left hand all around the keyboard as much.<\/p>\n<p>One thing it was handy for was viewport angle switching.<\/p>\n<p>I didn't have to take my hand off my mouse to snap to views anymore.

for comfort might not offer all the features you would want.<\/p>\n<p>This is something that you should really decide on your own in a physical store.<\/p>\n<p>No amount of online reviews or pictures will tell you how a mouse will feel in <strong>your<\/strong> hands.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Build_Quality\"><\/span>Build Quality<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This is another thing that you really have to feel for yourself, but less so.<\/p>\n<p>If the mouse is even somewhat popular, there will most likely be hundreds of reviews online talking about every little detail about it.<\/p>\n<p>You can generally get a good idea of the quality of a certain mouse from its reviews, and the reviewers usually talk about the build quality.<\/p>\n<p>But still, I advise that you try to find whatever mouse caught your eye in a physical store so that you can try it out to see if it's what you want.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Price\"><\/span>Price<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Compared to how expensive keyboards can get, mice are downright cheap.<\/p>\n<p>You can easily get a competent mouse for under $40, and you can go even cheaper if you go for lesser-known brands.<\/p>\n<p>Generally, $80 - $100 is the max I'm willing to pay for a mouse. Diminishing returns come fast when it comes to mice.<\/p>\n<p>So for 99% of the population, a mouse around $30 - $80 is going to be the sweet spot.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Style\"><\/span>Style<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This sort of goes back to the points made in &#8220;Gaming vs. Productivity&#8221; and &#8220;Utility vs. Comfort.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And it also depends on what your specific definition of &#8220;style&#8221; is.<\/p>\n<p>I generally prefer matte colors with light flourishes here and there that give the mouse some nice visual contrast and smooth, comfortably designed finishes over overly boxy or &#8220;gamery&#8221; designs with hard edges.<\/p>\n<p>There's not a whole lot I can tell you about when it comes to style, as it's the most subjective thing here.<\/p>\n<p>My advice would be to go with what you think looks cool and also does everything you want.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Top_Five_Mice_for_Blender\"><\/span>Top Five Mice for Blender<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Logitech_G600\"><\/span>1. <a class=\"thirstylink\" title=\"Logitech G600 MMO Gaming Mouse, RGB Backlit, 20 Programmable Buttons\" href=\"https:\/\/g100.us\/recommends\/logitech-g600-mmo-gaming-mouse-rgb-backlit-20-programmable-buttons\/\" rel=\"nofollow noindex noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Logitech G600<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-with-border alignnone wp-image-12798\" src=\"https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2021\/08\/logitech-g600-mouse.jpg\" alt=\"Logitech G600 Mouse\" width=\"1331\" height=\"1046\" srcset=\"https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2021\/08\/logitech-g600-mouse.jpg 1331w, https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2021\/08\/logitech-g600-mouse-300x236.jpg 300w, https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2021\/08\/logitech-g600-mouse-1024x805.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2021\/08\/logitech-g600-mouse-768x604.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1331px) 100vw, 1331px\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-with-border alignnone wp-image-12798 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%201331%201046%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt=\"Logitech G600 Mouse\" width=\"1331\" height=\"1046\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%201331%201046%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E 1331w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1331px) 100vw, 1331px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2021\/08\/logitech-g600-mouse.jpg 1331w, https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2021\/08\/logitech-g600-mouse-300x236.jpg 300w, https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2021\/08\/logitech-g600-mouse-1024x805.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2021\/08\/logitech-g600-mouse-768x604.jpg 768w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2021\/08\/logitech-g600-mouse.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>The Logitech G600 is a mouse designed for MMOs that feature 20 mouse buttons in total.<\/p>\n<p>It's also one of the best mice around for productivity.<\/p>\n<p>Along with the 12 side buttons, the G600 also features an extra mouse button at the top that allows you to switch to a different profile.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-with-border alignnone wp-image-12799\" src=\"https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2021\/08\/logitech-g600-mouse-top-buttons.jpg\" alt=\"Logitech G600 Mouse -

It is elegance itself, in the shape of a mouse.<\/p>\n<p>Logitech touts it as a productivity-focused mouse and certainly delivers on this promise with some unique features.<\/p>\n<p>First is the horizontal scroll wheel. You wouldn't think it, but it's a godsend when it comes to animations and video editing. And it makes working on large spreadsheets so much easier too!<\/p>\n<p>It also features a few side buttons that you can customize to your liking.<\/p>\n<p>The MX Master 3 is also a wireless mouse, facilitating a clutter-free, wire-free work environment.<\/p>\n<p>Another important feature of this mouse is Logitech's Flow technology. It allows you to have your mouse connected to multiple computers and seamlessly control both of them and even transfer files between them as if they were the same computer.<\/p>\n<p>If you're like me and have your laptop and desktop working at the same time, it's an amazingly convenient feature to be able to control them both without any break in flow\u2014pun fully intended.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Logitech_G903_Lightspeed\"><\/span>3. <a class=\"thirstylink\" title=\"Logitech G903 LIGHTSPEED Wireless Gaming Mouse W\/ Hero 25K Sensor, PowerPlay Compatible, 140+ Hour with Rechargeable Battery and Lightsync RGB, Ambidextrous, 107G+10G optional, 25,600 DPI\" href=\"https:\/\/g100.us\/recommends\/logitech-g903-lightspeed-wireless-gaming-mouse-w-hero-25k-sensor-powerplay-compatible-140-hour-with-rechargeable-battery-and-lightsync-rgb-ambidextrous-107g10g-optional-25600-dpi\/\" rel=\"nofollow noindex noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Logitech G903 Lightspeed<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-with-border alignnone wp-image-12801\" src=\"https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2021\/08\/logitech-g903-lightspeed-mouse.jpg\" alt=\"Logitech G903 Lightspeed Mouse\" width=\"300\" height=\"594\" srcset=\"https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2021\/08\/logitech-g903-lightspeed-mouse.jpg 612w, https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2021\/08\/logitech-g903-lightspeed-mouse-151x300.jpg 151w, https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2021\/08\/logitech-g903-lightspeed-mouse-517x1024.jpg 517w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-with-border alignnone wp-image-12801 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20300%20594%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt=\"Logitech G903 Lightspeed Mouse\" width=\"300\" height=\"594\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20300%20594%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2021\/08\/logitech-g903-lightspeed-mouse.jpg 612w, https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2021\/08\/logitech-g903-lightspeed-mouse-151x300.jpg 151w, https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2021\/08\/logitech-g903-lightspeed-mouse-517x1024.jpg 517w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2021\/08\/logitech-g903-lightspeed-mouse.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>The Logitech G903 Lightspeed is the most &#8220;gamery&#8221; mouse here, but it is also one of the best designed and most compatible\u2014as in, compatible with people\u2013mouse on this list.<\/p>\n<p>Since its ambidextrous design caters to both left and right-handed users, it is an ideal fit for lefties in the audience.

Moving your hand back and forth from the Spacemouse to my Keyboard actually slows me down quite a bit in everyday Blender workloads.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=97f5QoRihGE\" target=\"_blank\">Here's a great review<\/a> that goes in-depth and compares these devices.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"In_Summary\"><\/span>In Summary<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In a sea of very serviceable mice, it's hard to find just five good ones.
