New PRO Wireless Mouse is Designed with Pros and Engineered to Win
NEWARK, Calif. & LAUSANNE, Switzerland--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Logitech G, a brand of Logitech, (SIX: LOGN) (NASDAQ: LOGI) today
announced the Logitech®
G PRO Wireless Gaming Mouse, the first Logitech G LIGHTSPEED™
wireless gaming mouse designed with and for professional esports
athletes. The Logitech G PRO Wireless mouse was built for the highest
levels of professional play and features Logitech G’s next-generation
HERO (High Efficiency Rated Optical) 16K sensor for the ultimate in
sensor speed, accuracy and responsiveness. The PRO Wireless mouse also
features Logitech G’s exclusive LIGHTSPEED wireless technology, the only
wireless solution that provides pro grade performance and is actively
used in tournament play by top professionals.
The PRO Wireless mouse was designed to be ultra-lightweight at 80g and
yet incredibly strong. A feat of engineering, this strong lightweight
build is thanks to an advanced 1mm thin wall construction and unique
endoskeleton design. The PRO Wireless is also compatible with the
Logitech G POWERPLAY Wireless Charging System, for infinite charging and
play. The mouse represents more than 2 years of development in
collaboration with more than 50 professional esports players globally,
and blends extreme performance with the most advanced technologies into
a gaming mouse design intended to do one thing: help you win.
“We’ve always believed that wireless would advance so esports pros could
play and win with our wireless gear,” said Ujesh Desai, vice president
and general manager of Logitech Gaming. “We've had players using this
mouse in competition for months, including Profit from the London
Spitfire at the OWL Championship, and it's a proven winner.”
For a performance edge on the competition, the Logitech G PRO Wireless
features Logitech G’s industry-leading HERO 16K sensor, the highest
performance sensor available today. The HERO 16K sensor incorporates an
all-new lens and an updated tracking algorithm that delivers
ultra-precise tracking with no acceleration, smoothing, or filtering
over the entire DPI range. It exceeds the performance of previous
generation sensors, and is capable of exceeding 400 IPS and delivering
16,000 DPI tracking with pixel-precise accuracy.
"Having such a lightweight wireless mouse that I knew I could depend on
made a huge difference for me at the championship," said Profit, London
Spitfire. "It helped me win the MVP - it's a god mouse."
Coupled with Logitech G’s ultra-fast LIGHTSPEED wireless technology, the
Logitech G PRO Wireless provides a lag-free gaming experience, with a
1ms report rate, end-to-end optimized wireless connection and incredible
responsiveness for reliable competition-level performance. The
LIGHTSPEED Wireless USB receiver can be stored inside the mouse for easy
portability.
Every aspect of the Logitech G PRO Wireless allows for precision
control. The mouse was designed in collaboration with over 50 esports
pros and the result is a mouse that's both lightweight, comfortable and
delivers the highest performance.
“It was really cool to collaborate with Logitech G on a project like the
G PRO Wireless mouse," said Zven, Team SoloMid. "They really listened
and reacted to our needs. We asked for everything and they designed an
amazing mouse that is perfect for my needs.”
The mouse also features removable left and right side buttons that make
it truly ambidextrous and all buttons and LIGHTSYNC RGB lighting can
also be customized using Logitech Gaming Software (LGS). The DPI button
is located on the underside of the Logitech G PRO Wireless to prevent
unintentional DPI shifts in-game.
In addition, Logitech G also announced today that the Logitech®
G PRO Gaming Mouse will get an upgrade. The new mouse will include
Logitech G’s new HERO 16K sensor and a low-friction, flexible cable,
while keeping the comfortable classic design and superior click
performance.
