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.)

I believe it uses the same receiver as the G602 (Which I use in both on my main pc and my living room pc)

I just tested the length and I got about 20 feet away before I hit any problems.

Hmm I'm not sure if that's reassuring or not haha. I've had my G602 for 4 or 5 years now and only just recently started using it in this setup. I'm hoping it's just showing it's age and it's time to get replaced.

I was under the impression tho that the Lightspeed stuff was some proprietary wireless setup from Logitech to obtain wired-like latency or better. I'm pretty sure the G602 uses a common 2.4 GHz connection.
