Anybody but me use gaming mice for non-game stuff?

Yes. I use it along with a G13 for AutoCAD at work. Having enter, esc, del, bksp, undo, redo, & other commands always available is a great addition. Honestly, I game at home, but I make better use of the G buttons with productivity software than I ever have in the games (not that I don't use them for those too). For repetitive, command intensive software, programmable keys are the way to go.

I personally use my Naga Hex for regular use more than game specific things. I normally keep a profile for 1-6 as ctrl, play/pause, copy, num enter, F5, and paste.Even though this rarely /directly/ helps me in games, the play/pause, ctrl, and num enter do still help indirectly by allowing me to do more things without taking my hand off the mouse, and it gives me the option to set up buttons when I need/want to.

Aside from gaming, I use it for web browsing. My buttons on the left are mapped to switch focus to a specific tab (G8-G17), open new tab (G18), open previously closed tab (G19), and close current tab (G20).

Big time. I use it for opening and closing windows, holding down command and shift while clicking, switching desktops, revealing my mouse cursor across my triple-monitor setup, back and forwards, volume control, etc. I make liberal use of the ring finger shifter.

Absolutely. That's the whole reason I'm even looking at this mouse. I use my G13, G510s, and G700s almost exclusively for work. I have so many macros set up for just about everything. The software is so flexible. I've just about run out of room on both the G13 and G510s, so I need more "room" for programmed functions. I plan on making the G600 my own soon and being able to really cut loose on macros and so forth.

Yes! All the time. I personally have a Roccat Kone (+) as my everyday mouse. I actually use it for both gaming and workstation programs and it's stood the test of time. I think it's useful to be able to customise the mouse buttons out of games as well as in-game and it saves precious time when doing tedious office based tasks. The extra customisable buttons can be very very useful.

Like the AutoCAD user, I find is amazing for SolidWorks design software. Not only can I fit tons of hotkeys as well as enter, shift, ctrl, delete, etc., but I can switch functions on the fly to numerical inputs to enter values.

This mouse is awesome at Excel. Check out www.excelmouse.com to see how this mouse can best be used(cool diagrams.)You can use the myWorkbook (part of excel) to create background macros which can be bound to mouse buttons.Also, just assigning common keys to buttons saves SO much time. For example, having the enter key bound to the click down of the scroll wheel lets me speed through menu options because my finger is always on the enter key.If you want to see how I set up mine, check out the website.

Yep. Illustrator and photoshop. Most buttons are set up to just switch tools but I've got a few tied to actions for the more repetitive stuff.

I use my G600 for audio production. It's a mouse and keyboard in one for me; this way I can have my left hand free for simple harmonizing and melody making on the midi keyboard, and it also greatly reduces the amount of clicking I need to do going into menus and sub-menus in my music software. You can also create different profiles with different macros, say for your common MS Office functions, like copy/paste, underline, bold, etc. These mice are timesavers!

I have used it with WoW and AOE with success. Takes a little time to get used to the stiff clicks, but now I find my other mouse too loose.

Yes that's what I do. The touch pad is so quirky you almost have to use an external mouse. The only caveat is that there is only one USB port so if you're using a wireless mouse you can't use the USB port for anything else.

Yes. I use the keyboard, number pad and a trackpad mouse I have instead of the included mouse.

Lol. Yes. They're very sensitive. You can adjust motion sensitivity, though. Mone triggers for insects, so mice shouldn't be an issue.

I ended up buying the gaming surface made by the same company but I tried it on a standard mouse pad. Works fine either way. I just bought theirs b/c it gave me a lot more real estate to work with.

Sorry, I don't use it for game playing. I have large hands and bought it for business use.

No you cannot. I know Corsair has a couple gaming mice that have that feature that you are talking about.

I don't use a mouse with mine, if that is what you mean. As far as I am aware, you cannot touch the screen and use it.

yes, but there's not a lot of games that are compatable with the mouse. Possible soon with the new diablo 3.

I use the RollerMouse with a Microsoft wireless Sculpt ergonomic keyboard (less than $15), so I can keep my ergonomic positioning.

This mouse adds another dimension to my Mac as far as usability, but, I don't play many games so I really can'tGive you an opinion.

Yep! I use this mouse for minecraft, planetside 2, swtor, and plenty of other games. It works well and I really like it.

Hi, you know it would take some practice but I think you could. Take a look at some of the cometing designs too, Belkin and Logitec spring to mind. Pick one that has mouse functionality on it, and with some experimentation and practice you should find it possible to return to WoW. Best of Luck, I hope it works out for you.

I would not even attempt to use it as a mouse. It is not a good product. It cannot be programmed to do anything.

Have not had a problem at all. I use this mouse for shooter games, I would have noticed that problem immediately and would have returned it.
