What is the 'G' button on the Logitech G700 gaming mouse and what is it used for?

Question

Accepted Answer

On the Logitech G700, the G buttons are programmable commands specifically designed to enhance your gaming experience. These buttons allow you to instantly execute macros, keyboard shortcuts, or custom actions without leaving your game, simply by pressing a dedicated key.

To program your G buttons, you need to download the Logitech SetPoint software from logitech.com/downloads. Once installed, select your G700 mouse and access the programmable buttons section. You can then assign a specific function to each G button: a key sequence, a keyboard shortcut, a game-specific command, or any other frequently used action.

The configurations you create are saved directly in the G700's built-in memory. You can store up to 5 complete profiles directly in the mouse. This means your settings remain active even if you use the mouse on another computer, without needing to reinstall the software, which is particularly useful during LANs or tournaments.

The main benefit of the G buttons lies in the gain of responsiveness and productivity. In gaming, you can chain complex actions with a single click: launch a skill, perform a specific combo, switch weapons, or execute a sequence of commands. For office work, you can assign application shortcuts, repetitive copy-pastes, or profile changes depending on the software used.

Each button can have different configurations depending on the selected profile. For example, you can create a custom gaming profile for your favorite game with specific macros, and another profile for office productivity. The customizable LEDs under the DPI buttons allow you to quickly visualize the active profile, associating a color with each profile.
