The scroll wheel does have a rubber strip on it where the notches are, but that's all the rubber you'll find on the G Pro Wireless. The plastic has a smooth finish to it, and seems to be the same material used on the top of the Logitech G403. The shell is also extra thin at just 1mm, but surprisingly, still feels solid and there's absolutely no flex. To keep the weight low, the mouse is entirely plastic with no superfluous elements like rubber side grips. The mouse is nicely balanced too, with a balance point slightly behind the sensor. If you do play with a PowerPlay mat, the added puck will bring the weight to 82g - still very reasonable. The G Pro Wireless is also the lightest out of all the mice I've tested, and you can even reduce its weight a further 3g by removing the hatch on the bottom that's designed for Logitech's PowerPlay puck. All of these mice have a somewhat similar shape, but for me, the G Pro Wireless feels the best. For the past year or so I've used the following mice for extended periods: Zowie FK1, Zowie ZA12, Dream Machines DM1 Pro S, and Steelseries 310. I absolutely love the shape of the G Pro Wireless. I can use a palm grip, but my fingers end up hanging slightly over the end of the mouse. My hand measures 195 x 100mm and the mouse is slightly undersized for palm gripping, but is perfect for claw grip. Actually, the mouse it's closest to in shape is the original Microsoft Intellimouse 1.1a, just smaller.
The mouse's rear end isn't as wide as the Sensei, and it doesn't curve in the middle as much as the FK, but it still feels quite similar. It measures 125 x 63.5 x 40mm and feels like a slightly smaller Steelseries Sensei (the original, not the newer 310 version), or like a Zowie FK2 with a higher, rounder hump. The G Pro Wireless has a very safe medium-size ambidextrous shape with a rounded hump in the middle. By the way, if you're looking for a wireless version of the G Pro, take a look at the G304 - which is also known as the G305 in some regions, because. Based on the name alone, you might assume that it's just a wireless version of the existing, and very popular G Pro gaming mouse. However, the G Pro Wireless has a completely different shape, and for all intents and purposes, has absolutely no relation to the existing G Pro. Bland letter + number combination aside, it tends to reuse the same numbers on different products (and some products go by different letter + number combinations in different regions). Logitech is straight up terrible at naming its products. When was the last time any product got 30 percent lighter, but doubled its battery life? This mouse shouldn't be possible.ĭesign: The true heir to the Microsoft Intellimouse 1.1a Thanks to a new power efficient Hero 16k optical sensor, the G Pro Wireless will last 60 hours on a single charge with RGB lighting disabled, or about 48 hours with it on. Somehow, Logitech has gotten the weight down to just 80g, lighter than most wired mice, and despite its light weight, it doesn't compromise in the battery department either. On average, Logitech's Lightspeed mice tend to be about 20g heavier than their wired equivalents (the wireless G403 weighs in at 107.2g while the wired version is just 87.3g), and while battery life is better than before, you still need to recharge them every 25-30 hours or so - which is good, but not great.īut all this has changed with Logitech's newest mouse: the G Pro Wireless. So if esports pros playing for millions of dollars in prize money feel confident enough to use them, you can be too.īut there are still some drawbacks. And they're reliable too - in fact Logitech's wireless gaming mice are now more popular than any other type of mouse used in Blizzard's Overwatch League. Lightspeed wireless gaming mice are just as responsive as wired mice. Logitech G Pro Wireless Gaming Mouse review: This mouse shouldn't be possible Overviewįor the longest time, there was one irrefutable rule when it came to buying gaming peripherals: wired is better than wireless. And for good reason: wired peripherals are reliable and have better response times, they don't require heavy onboard batteries, and you don't have to worry about battery life.īut all of that has changed thanks almost entirely to one technology: Logitech's Lightspeed.
