Logitech Unveils Highly Customizable, 20-Button Mouse Designed for
Superior Accuracy in Long Gaming Sessions
NEWARK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Today Logitech (SIX: LOGN) (NASDAQ: LOGI) introduced the latest addition
to its popular G-Series gaming lineup: the Logitech®
G600 MMO Gaming Mouse, a highly customizable and easy-to-use mouse
specifically designed for massively multiplayer online (MMO) gamers. The
mouse features 20 buttons — including 12 thumb buttons, set in two
groups of six on a meticulously designed thumb panel — all in easy reach
for quick and easy no-look navigation and faster game play.

With three default profiles — two for MMOs and one for general gaming —
it is set up for optimal use right out of the box, no drivers required.
In addition, it has a G-Shift function that easily doubles the number of
actions you can perform with any button, giving you complete control in
your favorite MMOs. As with all of our G-Series products, the keys are
programmable so you can create your own commands, store them in the
mouse's onboard memory, and access them all with one touch. Plus, its
sculpted shape comfortably supports your hand through long gaming
sessions.
"The Logitech G600 MMO Gaming Mouse is the result of intense, direct
testing with experienced MMO gamers," said Mark Starrett, senior global
product manager for Logitech. "Countless hours of research went into the
design of our thumb panel to make sure that it is as comfortable and
easy to use as possible. And people will feel the difference in the
buttons — they're sculpted to help reduce click fatigue and miss-clicks
so you can play with greater precision for as long as you want."
For additional personalization, the thumb panel's RGB illumination is
fully customizable with more than 16 million possible color combinations
that you can use to easily identify the active on-board profile. The
lighting can be set to glow continuously, pulse on and off, continuously
cycle, or dim after a user-determined period of inactivity.
"This Logitech mouse is one of the best out there — and not just because
they incorporated our feedback into the design," said Hal Hanlin, Rift
producer. "There are so many abilities to keep track of in Rift,
the difference between defeating a zone event or winding up at the
graveyard can come down to seconds. Having all those G-Keys at your
fingertips gives you an advantage."
Pricing and Availability
The Logitech G600 MMO Gaming Mouse is expected to be available in the
U.S. and Europe beginning in July 2012, for a suggested retail price of
$79.99. For more information please visit www.logitech.com
