Are the receivers for a G903 Lightspeed compatible with the ones from G903 Lightspeed (Hero)? I bought a used replacement for very cheap price (no dongle, however), and want to pair my G903 Lightspeed to the receiver from my G903 Lightspeed (HERO). And even if I wanna keep both, should I worry about compatibility if I were to buy a receiver for it? P.S. my G903 (HERO) left click works properly again. For months, that button was acting up as I couldn't drag n' drop properly.

How many use Powerplay mousepad? I have used Powerplay mousepad, for a long time now and I believed in the idea and concept. Its great. But I always was missing something, I have a G935 headset that I always think it so annoying to connect with USB to charge so I bought Magnetic Charging Cable, what is great and easier almost hassle free. Then again, what if there was an Lightspeed charger in the G935, I tested it out, by taking one of my extra Lightspeed dongle for an G502 and made a Lightspeed G935. After a bit of trial and error, I finale got it to work, but it thinks for some reason it an G502 after having it switched from a registered mouse to the DIY USB. = Here on the mouse I can't change RGB. The charge one the mouse DIY Lightspeed G935 gave me different reading then what the G935 told me it had. It does charge. So long I don't power off the G935, It works, else I had to redo some trials and errors, until it was connected. I have still RGB control of the G935 headset still, it has an wireless USB receiver in the PC so its still shown in the Logitech G HUB. Why don't they make is, it so easy and useful, When I have to go I just lay my headset where the mouse is and now its will charge it, no more stupid cables. Just one mousepad that rules them all. This was only an experiment, and I had to sacrifice an 2x Lightspeed dongle to get it work properly. Also I am afraid of if the battery in the headset can handle this.

I just recently upgraded my original Logitech G502 to the new G502 wireless with light speed. It comes with the USB cable to charge the mouse as well as an adapter to plug the dongle into if you want it close to your desk (i assume) I also just bought the Logitech wireless G915 with lightspeed. (trying to go for a more clean wireless look on my desk) I first wanted to know if there is a notable difference between having the lightspeed dongle connected straight to the front or rear I/O of my PC or having it plugged into the adapter which connects to the USB charging cable. Second I wanted to know if it was okay to have both keyboard and mouse Dongle right next to each other. will it cause any interference or it doesn't matter? Thank you in advance. I just want to make sure I am not introducing any latency or signal issues with having both dongles right next to each other or using the USB cable for the dongle.

This is my first written review in this forum! Feedbacks are appreciated, will try and keep this updated in the future Contents: First Impressions Specs What You Get Inside the Box Shape & Weight Sensor RGB & Buttons! Connectivity & Battery Life Software Conclusion 1. First Impressions I have owned several mice from Logitech, safe to say, this is the most expensive mouse i have ever used. The G502 is regarded to be one of the most successful gaming mouse to be produced, but the G502 Lightspeed is my first G502. At first glance the G502 lightspeed looks like any other G502, with the obvious difference of not having a cable. Unboxing the G502 to me, feels like unboxing a flagship smartphone, premium, with a feeling of "i know i spent a lot on this thing". I bought this mouse for roughly $140 US which is rather cheap considering how hard it is to get and is currently selling for $158 right now (before shipping) in my country. The G502 Lightspeed isn't officially released in Indonesia so i got mine imported from Logitech HK, which took 17 days to be delivered. To be honest i don't know exactly where this mouse sits in the "gaming mice" family, is it an FPS mouse? is it an MMO mouse?, but i'd say it can do a little bit of everything, even for productivity. 2. Specs 3. What You Get Inside the Box G502 Lightspeed Lightpspeed wireless receiver Receiver extension adapter Charging/data cable Accessory box 4x 2g Weights 2x 4g Weights 4. Shape & Weight The G502 Lightspeed feels just like any other G502 but without having a cable to drag around. My hand is 18 cm (L) and 10 cm (W) i use claw/fingertip grip for when i am gaming and palm whenever i am not gaming. This mouse is better suited for people with bigger hands and of course right handed users, though if you have smaller hands you can still palm it (though there are better options than this). My thumb rest nicely at the rather small thumb rest and my pinky barely touches the mousepad whenever i decide to palm it. I would also recommend always using the 1-2-2 (1 finger on the left-2 at the top-2 at the right) grip, a 1-3-1 grip just feels odd to me since the right side of the mouse is rather big and i never felt comfortable lifting it considering how heavy it is. The G502 Lightspeed is a heavy mouse, but Logitech had done a good job to keep it lighter than its wired counterpart using techniques that they used in the G Pro Wireless. This mouse weighs about 114 grams (which is 7 grams lighter than the wired version). i would advise against using the weights, mainly because i play FPS and would like to keep the mouse lighter, but i understand some will add them because they like a bit more weight in the mouse. 5. Sensor The G502, uses the HERO sensor, the latest and greatest from Logitech. For the most part i use this mouse to play cs:go, and never had any problems with it. I mainly play as an AWPer (to those who dont play cs, its a sniper role) and it tracks every flick with great precision and is always consistent and it never spins out, safe to say it has 0 mouse acceleration (which is what i'd expect from a top sensor). I mainly play at 800 DPI and never change it. Lift of distance is also not an issue, as it is under a dvd. The surprising thing that i found out that this mouse also tracks on glass, though i'd rather not use it on a glass surface. 6. RGB & Buttons! The Mouse has 2, and only 2 lighting zones, nothing spectacular but it gets the job done. I personally set it to 15% brightness and leave only the logo to be illuminated to have the nice blend of still having rgb and good battery life. The G502 has a total of 11 programmable buttons, the sniper button is a bit too far ahead and for the most part i don't use it, changing DPI mid game isn't something it should do, thats the job of the buttons beside the left click, so i assigned it to do something else (its the only button i assigned to do a different thing other than what it was intended to do). the infinite scroll wheel is nice (especially when you need to scroll through a long document/website) , while also having the ability to scroll from left to right. I have heard multiple stories from people having double clicking issues on newer Logitech mice, though it is currently non existent on my G502, only happened to me once on a 4 year old secondhand G602 that i bought from a friend. 7. Connectivity & Battery Life The G502 uses the Logitech Lightspeed technology, its basically indistinguishable from wired mice, and yes, its that good and there's not much to say about it. If for some reason you still like it wired then you can still use the included cable (though that defeats the purpose of the actual product, you might as well get the wired version for way cheaper). The battery on this mouse is good, but not great. I use it for 8-10 hours a day daily and have to charge it once every 2 weeks. The mouse charges really fast using a USB 2.0 connection, haven't tested how long it exactly took to charge but it goes from 10-100% in an hour or less. You can still game while charging, though keep in mind that cable drag is now present. 8. Software The G502 Lightspeed uses the Ghub software, and it sucks, it's probably the worst part about this product. I have had to reinstall the software 3 times over the last couple of months due to it being stuck on the loading page, or not recognizing my mouse at all. The good thing is that this mouse does have on board memory, so you can just save it on the mouse and uninstall the software. On the bright side, the software does look promising but it needs a lot of love to be completely polished. 9. Conclusion In conclusion, to me the G502 Lightspeed is just another G502, nothing groundbreaking. Would i recommend it for competitive FPS? absolutely not, there are a lot of better and cheaper options out there (like say the G305, the Glorious Model D, etc.). But would i recommend it for someone who likes a heavy mouse and likes to game casually? yes, 100% it ticks all the boxes to be a great heavy mouse without actually being a brick. and it is still a gaming mouse with great specs. To close things off the mouse has a top of the line sensor, good battery life, RGB, wireless, infinite scroll wheel, buttons! lots of them, and a shape that has been liked by so many. Overall i would rate this mouse an 8/10.

I'm looking to buy the Logitech G502 Lightspeed Mouse (wireless) Mouse has the USB and own drivers to conect with PC. Can mouse interference with other parts like Printers?

Does anyone know the effective range of Logitech's lightspeed wireless mouse tech? I'm thinking of picking up one of their mice for a couch gaming setup and wanted to know if it'll have issues being 10 ft or 12 ft away from the receiver. I'm not 100% worried about latency as the computer will be connected to a TV, but I definitely don't want something that will be noticeable or become glitchy at that distance. (Specifically thinking about the new Logitech G502 Lightspeed, I've had their original G502 on my main rig for years now and absolutely loved it. I have a G602 currently hooked up but it's becoming increasingly finicky where I literally have to sit a foot or 2 in front of the receiver to not have issues.)

Sources: Logitech Blog | Engadget | Logitech G Remember the legendary Logitech G502 with the old PWM sensor? Logitech have just unveiled the new Logitech G502 HERO Lightspeed, a new rendition of their famous G502 mouse, now featuring the HERO sensor and now fully wireless. Having owned a Logitech G502, it's great to see the new approach Logitech are taking with their gaming range mice, now sporting their HERO sensor and Lightspeed technology. The mouse now uses Logitech Powerplay which is Logitech's take on a wireless mouse aided by a wireless mousemat. The mouse according to the Logitech G website and Amazon UK, is going to cost £129.99 where I live. I can't see myself getting this mouse as I already have a PWM G502 and a G305 Lightspeed so I have no need for more mice. But the G502 HERO Lightspeed neatly blends together the buttons and build of the G502 and the newest HERO and Lightspeed technology for a well-refined wireless mouse. Additionally, I haven't ever used PowerPlay, but I would fully be up for it if I were to buy the G502 HERO Lightspeed.

Hi, and welcome to my review of the Logitech G305 Lightspeed. Spoiler alert, it's one of the best mice I've ever used and I even see it succeeding my G502 if and when that happens. I got this mouse for £35.40 from Amazon UK, a far cry from the £51.99 RRP of the white version of this mouse. I've had it for a week and it's already grown on me as a mouse, having used a Logitech G502 as mentioned before, so I was familiar with the shape and size that Logitech would go for this mouse. What attracted me to this particular mouse was the Logitech HERO sensor, that's the High Efficiency Rating Optical sensor, and is supposed to be the most efficient and accurate sensor to date, and it certainly does live up its name. I'll be writing this review solely focusing on the G305, and compare it to my G502 near the end for a clean, subjective mouse review. When I first saw the mouse, it was actually a lot smaller than I originally thought, and that's mostly due in part to its minimal, simplistic styling, particularly with its nice rounded backside. It comes with the basic left & right click and scroll wheel buttons, as well as two additional back & forward buttons, these two extra thumb buttons can be mapped to different keys in the Logitech Gaming Software should you wish. I would've liked to perhaps see some more buttons but for the price of the mouse, I can't complain, especially since it's such as nice looking mouse. From the top-down, the mouse looks slick indeed. The Logitech G logo in silvery white is a nice contrast to an otherwise all matte black mouse. I love that the symmetry of the mouse as well as the spacing between buttons. The scroll wheels feel nice and rigid, and doesn't rattle. The left & right buttons click a ton and make a fair bit of noise but it's nothing to complain about. My one gripe with the shape is that towards the back, it tends to feel a bit too cambered which makes it uncomfortable for long periods of time in my experience. Other than that, it's a solid shape which molds to hands nicely. The back piece of the mouse can be taken off through pulling off straight from behind to reveal the battery and the USB dongle. This is super convenient and I'm impressed at how Logitech managed to fit both the AA battery and the USB dongle in here, given the space and total volume of the mouse. This mouse fits a single AA battery, or if you're feeling freaky, you can fit a single AAA battery plus a conventer, to make the mouse even lighter than if you had used a standard AA battery. The dongle fits snuggly to the bottom left of the mouse, and to get it out, simply pull straight up. I also particularly like that the dongle has the Logitech G logo on it, nice attention to detail and will make distinguishing it from other wireless peripherals a step easier. The bottom of the mouse is where you'll find the power switch - blue for on; red for off - which nicely lies flush with the rest of the bottom as to not interfere with tracking. You shouldn't need to use this much unless you're taking the mouse away from your device, as Logitech claims the HERO sensor will make this mouse "delivers up to 250 hours run-to-die on just one AA battery" or a groundbreaking "9 months of typical use in Endurance mode, which can be selected via Logitech Gaming Software". Now that is some extreme battery life claims. On topic of the Logitech Gaming Software, here is where you will find all the controls and settings for this mouse. Simply navigate to Logitech's website to download the software, and you're good to go. I have mine set to 1000Hz polling rate, and two DPI levels, 650 and 1250, with the forward & back buttons default, and the DPI button set to cycling between my selected DPI levels. I have full trust that the HERO will allow my G305 to go the full 250 hours in performance mode, and so I don't feel the need for endurance mode. Battery can be monitored in the top-left of the application. Alternatively there is an option to set one button to battery level to indicate how much battery is left inside the G305. This mouse, is absolutey excellent for the price. You get a nice-looking mouse with a comfortable shape, high build quality, excellent wireless dongle and battery placement, as well as that HERO sensor, all for under £60 depending on where you shop, and what color you choose... The size itself still feels a bit small, and the weight took a bit of time to get used to, especially since I've been using my Logitech G502 for over a year, it's a heavy and large mouse which is super over-designed in the best possible way. The sensor is the best part of the mouse, it is supremely accurate at everything, and has not hiccuped in my time using it. I played games such as Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Overwatch, and Fallout 4 using this mouse, and on all three games, it felt equal to or smoother than my Logitech G502. This sensor is no joke. The wireless aspect is honestly mind-blowing how good it is, I had an existential crisis mid-way through an Overwatch match questioning why I had never tried a wireless Logitech mouse before. I felt so free and unrestricted by a cable. Wireless mice truly are the future and the Logitech HERO sensor is at the captain's wheel.

So I am moving on from my original 2017 g903 because it is double clicking. I am looking at the new g903 w/hero sensor and the g502 lightspeed w/hero. I am really used to the g903`s design but I heard so many people love the g502. Also I am worried they havent fixed the g903 double clicking but I am not sure. Also looking at the gpro but its out of stock. Whats your opinions between the g903 and the g502? Thanks in advance.

Introduction many know me as a PSU guy, motherboard nerd, PCPP list creator and many other things, a mouse would be a far cry for me. but today i'll try to see if i can review a mouse. after buying a white G305 for €40,67 (MSRP €59,99) on 21'st of August, and the black one on the 6th of November, I've had my time with both in various situations, and feel like I can leave some thoughts on it from my experience so far. My configuration I put my mouse in 1000hz polling rate, performance mode, the first, second, third and top as they are on default, and the sidebuttons for a temporary dpi switch to 500 dpi. On DPI settings of 500, 1500, 2200 and 3500 for various situations and games. I'm mostly using the 500 for precision stuff like simple drawing, the 1500 for shooters and browsing. the 2200 if i feel like it's going a touch too hard and the 3500 when i have little space to move my mouse somewhere, but still want to use if for browsing or games like minecraft. the surfaces i use it on are tables, my armchair, my Roccat Taito and sometimes even my bed. the mouse itself is surprisingly highly responsive on all of these surfaces, though it still has tracking issues on transparant things, like i noticed on my kitchen table's transparant mat. Design/shape the mouse is small. this is something you either love or hate. as i personally don't have big hands and take my grip at the back and sides, sometimes using fingers for a touch more pressision it's very confortable for me. the thumb buttons are more like ring finger buttons for me, but for what i use them for it's fine. the white version gets quite quickly a touch gray on the bottom and a bit on the sides, but is rather easy to clean off. this is something to mostly keep in mind with the white version, but i can't judge about the black version in that regard, as i've had it too short for that the receiver and battery are a bit switched up compared to most mice, being at the top rather than the button. it never felt off for me during gaming, and it's for me easier to reach than the bottom, so i really don't mind. the rubbers below make it nice and smooth on other surfaces, but looks a bit scratchy after it's short use on a table, as i didn't have a mouse mat at the time for it. i still use the black one mostly on tables, but that one hasn't really shown any wear on that regard yet the mouses are black/gray/blue and white/gray/blue. to start with the white one: it's mostly white, being glossy up top and more matte on the bottom and sides. it has black rubbers on the bottom, located two up top, 3 on the lower and a circle around the sensor. it has a blue logo up top from logitech g, with g305 below the sensor. just below the g305 naming there's a red-blue switch with a grippy profile to turn the mouse on and off. this blends in rather nicely with the logo and everything when turned on. on top there's another logitech G logo, in light-gray colour. the black version shares a lot of the design, but has some changes to my feel. the black feels a little more grippy for me, and has the blue better blend in with the rest. i like the look of both, but prefer to take the black with me so far, as it looks less gray-ish after taking it with me for a while, one of the reasons i bought another g305. the dongle itself looks the same on both, but different from Logitech's other lines as Logi, as it has the G logo on it, making it easier to separate from my old mk270, which had a logi logo on it. it's something small, but a nice touch software the g305 can be configured with the Logitech Gaming software, where it will show up in the colour you have, and as offline if the dongle is plugged in, but the mouse is turned off. i like this small touch a lot myself, and it would be nice to have if i accidentally switched around the dongles. you can configure the DPI, polling rate, power mode and buttons, it also shows battery percentage and has a special feature to check your button use or your pressing time, to record it while you're using it, something i personally haven't used, nor plan to use any time soon. all the settings can be saved on the on-board memory or on the pc itself battery i don't have any numbers on this myself, except for that both are still fully charged according to logitech. but from @sowon's numbers it lasted around 6 months on a single battery on high performance mode, not that far off Logitech's claim of 9 months on the lower power mode. weight the weight of the whole device is in total a reported 99g. quite impressive as that includes an aa battery, the dongle and a wireless receiver with high end sensor. if you're freaky enough you could do an aaa battery and a converter, but i'm personally satisfied with it's current weight. verdict + left hand approved + high end sensor + cheap + light + configurable buttons + good battery life reported - white gets dirty quickly, even if easy to clean off - left hand approved, but not designed for - not meant for people with bigger hands full gallery link to mouse: https://www.logitechg.com/nl-nl/products/gaming-mice/g305-lightspeed-wireless-gaming-mouse.html#product-tech-specs

Back in April 2014, Logitech released the OG, the real deal: The G502 Proteus Core. And since day one, I LOVED IT. It's by far my favorite mouse ever with a single downside: It's not wireless. Luckily, the G502 Lightspeed is here to fix that. [Click here to go to the Level1techs forum version of this review] Part 1: The Originals The G502 Lightspeed is easely mistaken for "just the same but wireless". However, that wouldn't do its other significant improvements justice. Since 2018, the G502 has been gifted with Logitech's "Hero" sensor. Which takes the DPI from 12'000 up to 16'000. The addition of RGB lighting to the Logitech G logo and DPI indicators is also important. Considering the majority of pc enthusiasts like to have their builds color-matched, It will definitively have played in the sales of the mouse. Furthermore, the scroll wheel has been by far my favorite item on the G502. It's a heavy, metal wheel that has the added feature of Infinity scroll. That's right ! At the click of a button, you can send your mouse wheel into a notch-less spin, only to be slowed down by the axis' friction ! Perfect for those long thread scrolls or finding that one forgotten semi-colon in your 1500 line python script ! And at the press of a button : right back to that classic scroll. Part 2: What's new This time around, they made 2 major changes. The first being the wireless connectivity (which we'll get to in a minute) and that scroll wheel. By far the best change this time around is the addition of the wireless feature. I wondered how much heavier the mouse would become once you add the batteries and the extra components to make it wireless, but to my surprise, it's even lighter ! Including all of the weights for both of my units, the G502 Proteus Core comes in at roughly 143 grams. The G502 Lightspeed however, comes in at 133 grams ! (yeah, I like em a bit heavy) Another great thing is that right under the mouse, there's a place to store the tiny USB dongle within the mouse. At the front, you will find a (unfortunately not USB-C) Mini USB in for using the mouse wired and charge it. Speaking of charging, You could get the additional Powerplay Wireless Charging mat and never require a wire. Although at an extra 115$, it's a bit expensive. The battery lasts quite a while, actually I typically plug it in before I go to sleep and never had it run out even on 10h+ working/gaming. The one change I don't really like however, is the scroll wheel. It's not functionally any different than the previous version as far as I can tell, but the full, heavy metal wheel has been swapped for a much lighter wheel with a ribbed rubber band on the outside. In my opinion this is very much a downgrade compared to the full metal wheel which felt great. This one feels.. honestly cheap. (not to mention that the rubber will wear out over time) Part 3: Summary In the end, would I recommend it ? Yes and no. I have fairly large hands and this mouse feels honestly great. But it might not be the best thing for you in terms of shape & size. However, the lag-free (I honestly can't tell a difference between the two in terms of input lag, it's that quick) sensor makes a compelling argument for this mouse (though this is likely equal for other Logitech mice with the same sensor) The scroll wheel is not as good as it used to be, and it's honestly better with the wireless charging pad (esp if you're like me and take your mouse with you to college, being able to keep the dongle on my laptop and still have it work at home is something I can't wait to enjoy once I buy that). Thanks for reading, please let me know what you thought ! More reviews to come P.S. photos are mine, please ask before use.

The school I go to (and will soon be leaving) has always had stringent policies on web browsing that has caused somewhere around 75% of all websites to be blocked. It got worse ever since we were given iPads, and to my horror, even LTT was blocked at the beginning of the school year, despite the fact that I was able to access it the spring beforehand. But, today, a helpful classmate showed me an interesting way of bypassing it. All I have to do is go to translate.google.com, enter the URL of the website I want to go to, and BAM. I can access it. Unfortunately, there are three limitations that I am aware of so far. The first is that most, but not all, images fail to load. I dunno why that is. File types, maybe? Secondly, if I use a search function on a website that is normally blocked, such as Amazon or eBay, the resultant search is blocked. I can still browse, though. Third, I can't log in to LTT or change the theme. So, I can still read everything while I'm at school, but I can't talk. (Not that I do it much anyway.) And for those of you wondering, the filter still affects our iPads when we're at home. ):
