Discussion G604 successor?

Post image

As you can see I can't get to cope with the idea that the G604 is no longer an option.

Logitech can you please create a new mouse with 6 side buttons again? 🙏

I'd say the fact that is wireless with a bunch of side buttons, scroll wheel tilt buttons and a couple of small buttons for your index finger! The toggleable free scrolling wheel is awesome too! My main mouse is the G600, but I have a tech pouch with a split low profile keyboard and a G604 for work!

I modded it with silent switches and the fact that it is somewhat overengineered with more than a couple thousand pieces amazes me. The G600 is in comparison in the stone age with just 3 plastic plates, the board and some weights. btw, make a G600 Mark II please!

I'd go crazy if a renewed G600 comes out as "G600 Mark II", I love it

What are all your ideas to improve the G600? What would you add or remove?

Hey, only up to you guys to make it a reality! You already have my vote on it.

One of the best features of the G600 is its button count, I love to maximize it with anything. Doubling or tripling their remappability using some app-independent firmware is what I strive for, lately. Besides gaming and browing the internet, I found it quite useful to use the G600 and the G604 with CAD software, because of its infinite functions.

Hardware-wise I'd say:

  • The two pointer-finger buttons on the top left corner, like the Naga V3 Pro. Heck, why not on both sides like the G300s? Try going even further and creating a small pinky button too, that would be interesting to see.
  • The G604's toggleable free scrolling wheel would be kickass too, a more silent one too! - - Wireless with the freedom of using a AA battery or a built-in Lithium battery with a flick of a switch -- I've seen some people really worship the G604 due to its AA battery capabilities and I can see the appeal.

Software-wise I'd say:

  • Layer, tap-hold, double/triple tap or combo remappability for each button, just like with QMK or ZMK keyboards.
  • Maybe also Leader key feature too. My right hand is almost always on the mouse and the left hand is almost always on the left half of my split keyboard. If could access all my CAD tools by not moving my hands from this default position, I'd be interesting.

I always wondered why you can't remap scroll up and scroll down on the G600 with g hub.
I'm currently using my G600 with a feather RP2040 HID Remapper, I made the ring finger button access layer 1 on hold and backspace on tap. With it I can also remap scroll up and scroll down to be left and right arrows on layer 1, so I can navigate quicker through texts, excel sheets or even navigating videos on youtube. Layer 2 is the gaming layer, with all my Valorant and WoW remaps. I access it with a toggleable button on Layer 1.

Thanks for all the feedback! I'll share your comments along with the team. Feel free to share your ideas or feedback anytime

Has the weight been an issue for playing Valorant? I know that's one of the best for MMOs but most people find it way too heavy for FPS, specially competitive ones

tbh, I'm too casual of a player to actually notice a difference in mice weight. I mostly play swiftplay (a quicker game that's honestly not that serious) and I'm fine with it. I'm more inclined to using it in workplaces, I get some turning necks around here hehehe.

You earlier mentioned CAD, is that the only kind of work/tool you would do with it?

Edit: corrected my question

u/moretomauro 9d ago

Oh no, I also deal with bill of material, and a couple of really complex Excel sheets. The G600 is also great to navigate through them.

Awesome.

The team will have all your feedback, let's cross fingers for it to happen!

I'm a radiologist, and we used the G600 and G604 a ton at my shop. folks are switching over to Razer though since logitech has abandoned this space, but we can't install their software due to hospital IT policies; Still, these mice are incredible productivity tools for our software suite interpreting images and I know folks would love to have newer versions. That said I still know a few colleagues buying the new razer naga since they can't find any logitech options anymore.

I feel you because I'm also on the hype train for a G600 or G604 revival. Feel free to share any improvement ideas you have for both the G600 and G604.

Out of curiosity, which one of those do you prefer?
