Hardware QA is sometimes hit and miss, but Roccat mice have a shift feature that is implemented in firmware. The same goes for their macros: their mouse emulates a keyboard at the hardware level. That way it Just Werks and you don't need some cringey gamer-themed spyware always running in the background just to make full use of it, like you do for many features with Logitech mice. My go-to atm is the Kone XP, which d…
I wasn't aware of Roccat! sounds like what I'm after, especially without the gamer aesthetics. The Roccat Nyth looks close to what I'm after, but I'm pretty married to my muscle memory with using 4x3 buttons (of which are all in use, in both layers). Because it is possible with G-Hub, I was just curious if anyone knew what the gap is between SteerMouse's support and G-Hub's support for the seamless G-Shift/shift key…
Oh the mouse will be a bit gamer-y. You'll only get to escape from the gamer-y software. :)
In seriousness, I love mine for 'productivity' (a more pleasant desktop experience).

I also have a similar Logitech mouse, the wireless G602. I can't remember all of the details, but one of the things I wanted to do with it (I think bind a layer 2 button press to a key chord) is something I was told I couldn't do 'without G-Hub', and in particular its Lua scripting interface.
I'm mildly curious about the division of duties there, too, which presumably also explains the behavior you observed (SteerMouse has to reimplement something G-Hub normally takes care of, and they did it differently).
