I really like this mouse but the software for setting up macros is annoying. Overall I'd call it a buy, especially if you're on mac and can use Steermouse software instead, and double especially if it's going to be your travel mouse (bluetooth means no dongle)
PROS:
Lots of buttons. I map next tab, last tab, forward, back, close tab, refresh, top of page, bottom of page, next desktop, last desktop and I've done this for years with various MMO mice. Can't live without it.
Bluetooth or USB wireless
Scroll wheel can switch between smooth scrolling and bumpy scrolling
Long battery life
Feels good in hand
CONS:
Software is annoying but ultimately works
Polling rate over bluetooth is low, mouse can feel jumpy to folks who are picky
Again I really like this mouse and would call it a buy. It is the bluetooth mouse with the highest number of programmable buttons.
FYI this mouse, if used every day, will develop a clicking issue within a year or so. It'll sometimes double-click when you're trying to single click. It is a known issue, Logitech won't fix it, and if it happens outside of warranty you're boned. I've gone through two of them already.
The only reason I continue to use this mouse is it has a rare combination of features: at the press of a button it can switch between bluetooth/lightspeed (useful for 2 computers), batteries that last for months, sensitivity adjustment on the fly, high DPI, and many convenient buttons.
It's the perfect mouse if you WFH, and your personal and work computers share a desk. Except for the defective design. And when it goes bad, it's frustrating. Did you click the button to archive that email? Whoops, it double-clicked and banished some other possibly important email to the pits of despair as well.
Does this mouse suffer from logitech double click/misclick after about a year? (gone thru maybe 6 mice all of which will eventually take a single click as 2 or won't maintain click hold to drag anything; result from using poor quality click actuators)

Most programmable buttons would go to the razer naga pro I believe. Either way I definitely agree that this is a solid mouse. The programmable button placement feels way more natural

I don't doubt that you are experiencing this issue, but I think stating that it "will develop a clicking issue within a year or so" is... maybe too generally stated? You've got two data points and are stating that as if it's a guaranteed occurrence lol.

Important to note that the device switch button is on top and not at the bottom like mx master.
What i dont like is that it requires a separate dongle and cannot be used with unifying receiver.
If u r using this in work machine then the logi G software might not be authorized.

No, I don't think it's too generally stated. There's plenty of complaints on the Logitech forums, and full blown 30 minute Youtube teardowns where they show that they use incorrect switches that aren't properly rated for the electrical build of the mouse and will degrade over time. It's an extremely well known design flaw, and it has been there for years at this point. We're well past "anecdotal experience" on this particular issue

Indeed the Naga pro does have capability for more buttons. I was intrigued by the concept although the max number of buttons was overkill for my purposes and the lack of the thumbrest made it a no deal for me. I don't understand - especially in the scenario where you had that many buttons (presumptively for MMORPG or RTS) where you wouldn't want a spot to put your thumb so you could use it to help grip the mouse without accidentally pressing a button.

I've had a MX Revolution for probably 10 years now. I've had the double clicking issue a few times over that span of time. It's a little annoying, but easy to fix, at least in some of their mice, by bending the spring back into a proper shape.

In for one. Hopefully the double-click issue will wait a couple of years to rear it's ugly head.
For those who are looking to purchase, it might be worth getting best buy to price match so you can use the $5 - $10 reward they sent out recently

It is way more prevalent than you'd think.
