Boom, it works with the PowerPlay mat for continuous charge while you use it.
#PMOUSE REVIEW PRO#
Simply pop off the magnetized bottom plate, replace it with the PowerPlay version, and sync the Pro Wireless. You won't need the receiver if you have a PowerPlay mouse pad though. It also sports a magnetized plate: you can press it at the bottom to open up a compartment that holds its wireless USB receiver. The bottom of the mouse has the power switch and the DPI switching button.
The Pro Wireless is, as the name suggests, a primarily wireless mouse, but the included USB cable-which no longer has a braided cloth exterior-does turn it into a fully wired mouse. Logitech even tore down the design and made the Pro Wireless only 80g, which is actually 3g lighter than the original Pro. The mouse is built for right- or left-handed users, with two thumb buttons on either side and switchable magnetic plates if you want to cover either side up. The RGB lighting is limited to the distinctive Logitech G logo and the DPI indicator, which is completely invisible when it's not on. The overall design is a bit longer and more hand-friendly than the previous Pro or the similar G305. The Pro Wireless dispenses with all of that. My workhorse G903 next to the new Pro Wireless. This allowed the mouse to look cool while mostly staying out of my way during daily use. I could hack it with the G900 and G903 because overall, most of the "extra" design bits were on the center of the mouse. This concept of simplicity has extended to subsequent models. My favorite keyboard is Logitech's now-defunct G810 because it's so simple: it's just a basic keyboard with high-end switches and RGB lighting. There tends to be a touch of overdesign, adding additional angles and bits in order to look cool. Sometimes, Logitech and other gaming hardware manufacturers lean entirely too hard on the "gaming" side of things. Where the Pro Wireless really excels is in the new design. (Which is very cool, but who is playing at 16,000 DPI?) Like its predecessor, the Hero 16K offers a high-sensitivity sensor with zero smoothing and acceleration from 100 to 16,000 DPI.
#PMOUSE REVIEW UPDATE#
The mouse carries the Lightspeed wireless technology, offering a 1 ms report rate, and the new Hero 16K sensor, an update of Logitech's flagship mouse sensor for 2018.
The Logitech G Pro Wireless is a refinement of everything Logitech is doing at the moment in terms of gaming hardware. Logitech has finally offered up a mouse that can replace the G903 in my life. It's been my workhorse mouse since I reviewed it, having been replaced only by the G903, the same model with Logitech's Lightspeed wireless tech and built to work with the PowerPlay charging mousepad. The G900 has been right here on my desk whether I'm writing or gaming.
Two years ago, I wrote that the Logitech G900 Chaos Spectrum was "one of the finest goddamn mice I've had the pleasure of using." I stand by that.
