What is g-shift?

G-shift is a feature available on certain gaming mice, particularly those made by Logitech. It allows users to assign secondary functions or commands to a specific button, typically located near the thumb area.

The G-shift button essentially acts as a modifier key, similar to the Shift key on a keyboard. When pressed in combination with other mouse button clicks, it can activate additional actions or macros. This provides quick access to multiple commands without the need to switch between different key bindings or settings.

The G-shift button can be customized using the mouse's software utility, such as Logitech Gaming Software or G HUB. Users can assign any desired function or macro to the G-shift button, such as DPI adjustment, media control, or specific in-game actions.

G-shift is particularly useful for gamers who want to have quick access to a wide range of commands or functions without cluttering their keyboard with additional key bindings. By utilizing the G-shift button in combination with other mouse buttons, players can perform complex actions or execute macros on-the-fly.

It's worth noting that G-shift is a proprietary feature offered by Logitech and may vary in functionality and implementation across different mouse models.
