The company claimed that the performance is effectively the same as a wired keyboard-that the Lightspeed connection is just 1ms (which is essentially imperceptible to humans). Logitech wanted to pair its wireless gaming mouse with a commensurate keyboard-hence the birth of the Logitech G613, which also uses Lightspeed technology for its wireless connectivity. In a nutshell, Logitech went for both maximum efficiency and maximum performance. Perhaps the most important feature of the HERO sensor is the fact that you can fully flash the firmware, which means you can keep updating the device indefinitely as the company develops new features or performance tweaks or optimizations. Logitech also claimed that its A/D converter “uses much faster and low power operating circuits (XTRAFAST)” to further enhance efficiency without sacrificing performance. The processor can be embedded into the MCU, which saves time and money and gives Logitech some engineering flexibility, according to company representatives. The front end of the HERO sensor is analog, and Logitech boasted of a 30 x 30 pixel array that gathers imaged surface data, but the imaging system is also designed to save energy by shutting down between image captures-in other words, the usage dynamically scales. In its materials, Logitech stated that “The entire design has been thoroughly optimized for low power consumption from the lens cluster all the way to how the sensor integrates with the MCU (Micro Control Unit) of the mouse.” Logitech said that the HERO offers performance on a par with the famed PMW3366 but with 10x the power efficiency.

Logitech hasn’t made any hard decisions yet, but it may choose to license the sensor to other companies-or not.

Logitech built the HERO sensor in collaboration with a Swiss partner, and as has been the case in times past, the fruit of that labor is a semi-proprietary sensor. Logitech is making some big promises with the HERO sensor, including the claim that it can offer more than 98% accuracy on all surfaces (that are reasonably suited to mice) while achieving max speeds and acceleration rates. Logitech said that the HERO sensor offers the true tracking throughout the entire DPI range instead or replying on a touch of smoothing, etc., on certain portions of the DPI range. Reps didn’t mention any names, but we believe they were referring to, among others, the SteelSeries Sensei 310 and Rival 310. Logitech stated that although some mice claim to have sensors that can do this, it’s a little specious. The whole idea behind it is to offer a high efficiency, super-accurate sensor that offers 1:1 tracking with zero smoothing and jitter throughout entire DPI range. Logitech’s new HERO (High Efficiency Rating Optical) sensor is making its debuting in the G603 mouse.

If your PC doesn’t need the dongle and extender, you can just leave it parked in the body of the mouse so you don’t lose it. Logitech appears to suggest keeping the dongle and keyboard more than 2m away from your wireless router, and to keep the keyboard and dongle within about 20cm of one another for optimal performance. Then pop the batteries into the mouse, choose Hi or Lo, and Bob’s your uncle. To set it up, stick the USB dongle into the USB extender, and plug the extender into your PC. With one AA battery, the weight jumps to a still-svelte 112.3g, and with both batteries loaded up, you’re looking at 135.7g, which is pushing the limits for what will feel comfortable to an average user. Empty (that is, without batteries), it’s a flyweight at just 88.9g.

The weight of the G603 fluctuates widely depending on the battery situation. The switches underneath are made by Omron. Logitech stated that the left and right buttons have no pretravel, which it noted was especially hard to create with the removable magnetic top cover design. On the underside of the mouse is the switch to select Hi, Lo, or off, as well as a Lightspeed/Bluetooth button. Although you program buttons and configure the mouse settings within LGS, you can save the profiles to the G603’s internal storage as opposed to saving to the PC. There are six physical buttons (left and right click, forward and back buttons on the left side, DPI button, and clickwheel), and all of them are programmable.

The G603 is programmable via the Logitech Gaming Software (LGS). You can easily access the battery chamber via a magnetically attached top panel. It’s also a de facto method of altering the weight. One nifty feature is that you can pop out one of the two batteries and keep the mouse running.
