Cons
Con Thumb buttons may feel too stiff
Some may find that the side buttons require too much force, so much that you move your mouse cursor with each button press.
Con Ergonomics not the best
Often mice in this price range ($80) offer ways to customize the ergonomics. Sadly there is nothing like that with the G600 making for an uncomfortable experience for extended play times.
Con Rubber textured sides come off.
After prolonged use, the glue used to attach rubber textured sides no longer bind the sides.
Con Requires signing in and connecting to a server before the mouse can be used to its full potential
To get the latest drivers or edit settings, you have to download "synapse", an online cloud device updater and profile storage application. You have to register an account with your email and have it running in the background constantly for changes to take effect.
Con Scroll wheel squeaks
When scrolling using the mouse wheel, an annoying squeaking occurs. Surprisingly, this is a more common complaint than one would think... Google it.
Con Poor build quality, or longevity of product
Often need to get a replacement.
Con Distracting lights
Although the lights on the mouse look nice, they may bother or be distracting to some people. If they are too distracting, they can be turned off but that does require proprietary software that many do not like having installed.
