The contoured, ergonomic design nearly seems like a hand relaxation that locations 4 customizable buttons and a second scroll wheel inside straightforward attain of your thumb. Each button is configurable by way of Logitech’s Choices+ software program, which is a treasure trove of productiveness potential.
