Logitech G, the gaming-focused subsidiary brand of Logitech, recently introduced the new Logitech G309 LIGHTSPEED Wireless Gaming Mouse. This new gaming mouse offers dual-wireless connectivity, precision tracking, and reliable performance in a compact and lightweight design, seeking to make advanced gaming technology accessible to a broader audience.
The G309 is equipped with Logitech’s proprietary LIGHTSPEED wireless technology to provide a high-performance gaming experience, faster than most other wired mice. The LIGHTSPEED connection, known for its low latency and precision, ensures that gamers experience minimal lag.
The mouse also features the HERO 25K sensor, which delivers exceptional responsiveness and accuracy with a sensitivity range of up to 25,600 DPI and a maximum tracking speed of 400 inches per second (IPS). The sensor ensures precise control without acceleration or smoothing, which is essential for competitive gaming.
One of the key features of the G309 is its compatibility with Logitech’s POWERPLAY wireless charging system, which allows users to power the mouse without an internal AA battery. This feature reduces the mouse’s weight by 18 grams, bringing it down to just 68 grams when used with the POWERPLAY system. Without POWERPLAY, the mouse weighs 86 grams with an AA battery, which still makes it lightweight and easy to maneuver.
The ergonomic shape of the G309 is comfortable for various grip styles. The mouse’s build quality is solid, with a matte finish that feels premium. If you prefer a more cushy touch, it comes packed with a set of vegan leather stickers which you can stick on the mouse to give it a more natural feel.
The G309 offers an impressive battery life, providing over 300 hours of continuous gameplay at a 1-millisecond report rate in LIGHTSPEED mode with just one AA battery. In Bluetooth mode when you are not gaming, the battery life extends to over 600 hours, offering versatility for users who need extended usage.
Additionally, the G309 includes LIGHTFORCE hybrid optical-mechanical switches, exclusive to Logitech G, which combine the speed and reliability of optical switches with the tactile feel of mechanical clicks. These switches ensure ultra-low-latency actuation, making the mouse a top performer in competitive gaming scenarios.
Overall, the G309 offers a blend of innovative features and reliable performance, making it a competitive option in the wireless gaming mouse market in the mid-range market. It seeks to target gamers who want premium quality without breaking the bank, while accepting slight compromises like the absence of a free-scrolling wheel.
