This is a very interesting mouse from Logitech, and for high end gaming mice generally. It is seriously pared down and does the basics very well. You may miss the bells and whistles though.For years we have had gaming mice with lots of buttons, variable wheel tension, weights, thumb rests and rubber side pads. The G-Pro is a step back to the 90s when mice had none of these things. You get a very classic (but slender) looking mouse shape, the standard 2 front mouse buttons plus wheel (press for middle button but traditional left-right horizontal scroll is novel; for that you click the mouse to the right and then mouse moment does scroll) and two side buttons for forward/back.You also get two identical forward/back buttons on the other side of the mouse, but seriously, you are not going to be able to access them; they are for someone who uses the other hand. In fact, the only real physical customisation you get is the ability to remove the unused pair of forward/back buttons (or even both pairs if you want to embrace the new gaming minimalism!).I own several gaming mice, from the MX500 through to the G402, more recent G502 and a few other ones, including the Razer Basilisk (which I will compare the G Pro against). These other mice have one thing in common; all of them are wired. Reason being that I’ve never trusted wireless for gaming.Main point; the G Pro wireless is fantastic; no lag and feels exactly like a wired mouse. I was comparing against the wired Razer Basilisk and they felt exactly the same for responsiveness. Let us be clear; the Basilisk is a pro wired gaming mice that also has 16000dpi and massive poll rates, so this is a major win for the G Pro wireless.The G Pro doesn’t have any niggles of other wireless mice either; the sleep time is reassuringly long (a few minutes), and the wake-up time after sleep is a fraction of a second (I’d guess of the order of 0.1s).The Basilisk is a full featured gaming mouse, so the next question is what do I miss?Well, the Basilisk has a shift lever (hold it down and the DPI goes down; useful when you want precise control over very small movement – such as when sniping at long distance), a thumb rest and rubber pads on either side for grip. It also has two buttons at the top that the G Pro misses, and these are usually configured as DPI up/down or next/previous weapon as they are more accessible than the side forward/back buttons). Finally, the Basilisk allows you to change the tension of the mouse wheel, going from ‘very clicky’ to ‘free running’.Do I miss any of this on the G Pro? Not really, but it’s a matter of preference. The rubber side pads are not needed because the G Pro is so light (although a 100% smooth plastic gaming mouse is a real retro step and takes getting used to!). The DPI switch is on the bottom not the top and I never change it during a game so don’t care, and I have never used the shift feature ever because although it is more accurate, it also slows you down.The only thing I really miss on the G-Pro is variable mouse wheel tension. Having that makes your gaming mouse more usable as a productivity mouse. I’m a web developer by day, and that wheel is used a lot in moving up and down listings, so needs to be loose. Applications that use the middle mouse button a lot (especially 3D applications) need it to be stiff and very clicky so the constant middle mouse clicks never register as a scroll gesture. That’s a game changer for me and a reason I would not use the G Pro for programming, but I have another mouse for that anyway; the MX Master. Your mileage on this may vary though and it might be a deal breaker if you have a gaming machine that is also used for paid productivity as I do.But the biggest thing most people will notice initially is nothing to do with the technicals. It will be this; apart from the lighted ‘G’, the G Pro can end up looking like an emancipated MS office mouse from the 90s with a black respray. If you can get past that the next question is ‘so we’ve been conned all these years with all the ratchets, levers, weights, customisable shells, RGB mood lights and performance side treads… and now it seems we never needed them because your top of the range design has none of them…’.Harsh, but I’m only saying what everyone’s thinking!There’s one other thing to consider; the G Pro is small for a gaming mouse. Not as small as a laptop mouse, but certainly the smallest gaming mouse I have. If you have large hands (which I do not) you may want to get some second opinions. All I will say though is it’s a little small and light, and could easily be mistaken for a much cheaper mouse until you start to use it. To give some visual perspective, I’ve also taken a shot of the G Pro vs the much bigger MX Master which caters for large hands. While I am at it, there’s also a shot of the G Pro vs the Basilisk. I also have the Logitech G502 coming (which from the specs seems to be the G Pro without wireless but in a more traditional gaming design), and will add a comparison shot of that when I get it.One other slight aside; the G Pro mouse pads seem a little noisy compared to the Razer. The razer is silent, whereas the G Pro makes a little scratching noise, and on every mat I tried it on. Not sure what to make of this, and its more of a niggle; it actually took me a few hours before I even noticed it, but its one of those things you cannot unhear once you have it on your mind!To conclude; this is a step back to basics. A svelte no nonsense gaming mouse that has the best electronics inside it that Logitech has to offer. This makes for a high dpi mouse that is wireless yet feels wired.Whether that feels like a return to form and a Very Good Idea is up to you, based on what you really expect from a gaming mouse; top of range performance vs that plus lots of customisation and additional features.As you can see from the score, its a winner from me!

Alright, so I deliberately left creating a review for a few weeks after I got my mouse just to get a feel for it and experiment with the different uses of this mouse. Coming from a PC gamer of 5+ years, I can say that this mouse is a great addition to your peripherals if you are looking to get into shooters, RPG games, or just anything that requires quick strafing and swiping with the mouse. The fact that it's wireless is insanely liberating given that I used to use a fixed wired mouse (Final Mouse 2015 edition) so its very practical when surfing the web and then switching up to competitive gaming.BUILD QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE:The buttons and scroll wheel are all exceptional quality in thebuild and are made of fine plastic with very slight indents on the Left Click and Right Click for a more pressure sensitive response (great for precision tap firing for FPS games) and also takes off that extra bit of build up pressure on the finger tips that I personally have experienced when using my other mouse; call me over the top but personally I feel that every little feature helps here.FIRST THOUGHTS:I've experimented with the side buttons which are very easy to install, swap and/or replace- simply slip your fingernail under the elongated part of the button and it pops off. You can clearly see where the buttons align indicated by the slot design and the pressure plates that the buttons slide into and click seamlessly!BUTTONS AND FUNCTIONALITY:For those who tend to map a lot of buttons to their mouse binds, installing the G pro HUB, which I'd say is quintessential (because why wouldn't you want to customise your mouse and map it to your liking?) you can control all your page management, windows functions and even bind macros to the buttons so you can have a fully spec'd out mouse with 4 side buttons if you so wish, this can also be used for binds in games (although a lot of games tend to only allow and follow the basic rules of having your primary functions such as LMB, RMB, MMB, Scrollwheel and two side buttons but if you play heavy MMOs or RPG games where there are lots of binds that you can independently map you can feel very comfortable with 4 side buttons for sure! ;))PLAYTIME AND FEATURES:One of the most important features of this mouse is the lifespan of it as it is a wireless mouse and requires to be charged. Firstly, the average lifespan of this mouse when playing with is is estimated at around 72-76 hours worth of use with the RGB and LED features turned off. Personally I play with the RGB feature turned off and I just have a LED indicating my DPI and I've actually managed to get about 80 hours roughly before it needs to charge up.LIGHTING:When playing with all RGB and LED features enabled you can realistically hope for about 60 hours or so from consistent use which makes sense because its more power being used to operate. Again, it's up to you and your intent.CHARGING:Charging time it cames in at there and about 2 hours of consistent charge, there is also the option to play while charging the mouse; of course this means that the mouse will charge a little slower but it is possible to get it to 100% while still using it, just bear in mind that you'll be converting the mouse to a wired mouse for that duration so don't attempt those MLG mouse spins across the mouse pad!CONCLUSION:Overall the mouse has a great weight, it's completely ergonomic and will be ideal for someone with average sized hands, for those who favour claw/ claw fingertip grips this mouse is ideal for you but you can make it work if you're a palm grip mouse user- just be aware that you'll lose some precision in your fingertips due to more pressure on the buttons from your fingers.69/10 for me personally, this mouse is great for pretty much anything, Logitech went full send with this mouse and it's pulled through. Oh and it's lightweight so you're gonna be feeling as if you're effortlessly clicking away at whatever it is!

This gaming mouse is really hard to fault. It is exceptionally comfortable to use (whether right or left handed), incredibly light (given that it houses a rechargeable battery) and performance-wise is simply the best currently available.Let’s start with the ergonomics: I have small to medium sized hands and the mouse sits perfectly for my claw grip. Side buttons are perfectly positioned for my thumb; all buttons provide the right amount of travel/click and the wheel is for me in the sweet spot between notchy and smooth. The buttons can all be swapped/smoothed out (i.e. the ‘back/forward’ buttons on either side) if you don’t want any protruding – via the supplied replacement ‘buttons’ that simply match the profile of the mouse (so nothing sticks out or leaves gapping).This is a non-fiddly process as the buttons are magnetic so can be swapped pretty easily.In operation the mouse is superb: outstanding tracking and as fast as a (excellent) wired mouse: no lag whatsoever. The DPI of up to 16000 is completely OTT for what I would normally use (around the 1600 mark) but I’m sure some gamers might appreciate this ultimate sensitivity/accuracy. The DPI can be changed via a button on the underside of the mouse (up to five settings) and in ‘default’ mode only provides a range that most gamers would probably use. However, via the downloadable software you can assign your own range of settings to suit your changing gaming needs (including up to the aforementioned 16000 DPI).The downloadable software is excellent (and it is a must that it should be downloaded if you want to get the most out of this mouse). It is a cinch to be able to configure the mouse to your own liking; disable/enable buttons to your preference etc. It also allows you to alter the colour cycle/rate/brightness of the Logitech logo on the mouse (or completely disable it if you prefer), tells you. How much charge there is left etc. Talking of charge: a full charge of the mouse will give you a mightily impressive 55+hours or so usage (without the lighting on that is: it indicates that it would last around 15 hours less with lights on). It lets you know when the juice is running out but the mouse can then be connected to your PC and used as a ‘wired’ mouse while it recharges. Handily the transmitter dongle (micro USB sized) can be stored in a compartment on the underside of the mouse (which otherwise could be easily separated or lost if you want to take your kit elsewhere). The mouse bumpers are smooth and travel on pretty much any surface is very slick indeed. I should add that the mouse also shuts down after you. Have powered don your PC/goes into sleep mode (although it does takes a few minutes of being idle before it goes off: I was wondering at one point whether I needed to turn it off manually via the power button underneath but it does turn itself off eventually).A lot has been said about the understated looks of this mouse. Yes for a gaming mouse it does look very conventional (aside for the RGB type lighting – which is actually very low-key really) but this is the result of what Logitech believe is the perfect balance of form and function and, in my view, they have got it absolutely right.In short the G-Pro Wireless is a technically impressive, exceptionally well-thought out and configurable mouse that is a joy to use. Will the insane DPI give you the extra gaming advantage you might be looking for? I’m not convinced on that score - but I’m pretty sure that the other aspects of this brilliantly designed mouse might. Is it worth the money though? If you want the best - and from a company who are already the market leaders and with a rock solid reputation for quality and reliability - then I suppose it is.

This mouse is quite expensive, but it does have a number of useful customisation options, increasing its versatility, and it appears to be well-made. The instructions consist of one pictorial leaflet that explains very basic operation – not even including the way you adjust the DPI - a one-sheet diagram of how to change the Li-ion battery if required and a thick safety and regulation leaflet. There is also a link to download Logitech’s gaming software, but that gives little useful information and raises other questions.The mouse can be used in both wired and wireless mode, though I found the USB cable to not be flexible enough in wired mode to allow the mouse to move smoothly and without resistance.In wireless mode, the USB cable can either be connected to a wireless dongle via an adapter, or the dongle can be plugged straight into a spare USB port on your PC. However, since the instructions recommend that the mouse and dongle are separated by no more than 20cm, anyone using a desktop PC is likely to need to use the USB cable option. This is handy when the battery in the mouse needs to be recharged (every couple of days in my experience) as you can simply unplug the dongle from the cable and attach the cable direct to the mouse. The mouse switches over to wired mode seamlessly and the battery is charged in the background. Incidentally, the wireless dongles are specific to each model of mouse and labelled as such, so you can't use Pro Wireless dongle with any other Logitech model.In the accessories case supplied with the mouse can be found the USB cable, the wireless dongle and blanking plates for the side (thumb) buttons on the mouse. These buttons can be activated or covered on either side, making the mouse suitable for left or right-handed use. The main buttons and scrolling wheel are very sensitive, reacting to the slightest twitch, but they have a good positive action and move easily. One omission (in my opinion) from the accessories, though there is space for it in the compartment under the mouse, is a heavy disc that allows the user to adjust to a heavier mouse if they prefer. The compartment also has space for the dongle to be stored when travelling.There are a number of configurable buttons on the mouse, though the gaming software is again required to programme these. Of particular interest though, the button underneath that allows for customisation of the mouse tracking speed, so precision work and work requiring quick transit of the screen can both be handled without having to adjust overall settings in the control panel. I prefer the G903 mouse’s layout that has two buttons on the top to configure this, allowing it to be done “on the fly” and making it quicker to choose an option rather than having to cycle through in one direction as is the case with the single button on the Pro Wireless mouse.I also prefer that the main mouse buttons sit higher on the G903 so my fingers aren’t as curved at rest, which I find more comfortable.In use, the speed of response in wireless mode is indistinguishable from that in wired mode, making this very suitable for gaming.By default, the LED on the back of the mouse illuminates and fades through a number of colours, though this is again programmable via the Logitech gaming software.In summary, a versatile, but expensive mouse, that should be shipped with a more comprehensive instruction leaflet, but also one that offers less than its G903 stablemate for similar money.

This isn't the cheapest mouse in the market but it is certainly worth the money and here's why. If you want a full detailed review check out my bio for my YouTube Channel where I’ve done an in-depth reviewDESIGN - It’s been created by LogitechG division who have collaborated with eSports Pro’s and Youtubers to create what they say is the perfect eSports mouse. The design is sleeked with a nice curve, symmetrical sides allowing both left and right handed players to benefit from the shape. The overall design is subtle with the only RGB being on the rear lighting up the G Logo.PERFORMANCE - Well what I can say the new Hero 16k sensor is sublime and both tracking and power efficiently. I’ve had the G903,Hyperflux Mamba, G305 & Corsair Dark Core and in my opinion, the G Pro Wireless is certainly at the top of the class giving me no reason to complain or feel the wifi isn’t performing as well as a wired mouse.WEIGHT – Wow what can I said this thing feels super light and this isn’t a surprise given it comes in at 80grams. If you want a light wireless mouse then this is the one to get. If you remove the button and USB dongle you can get it down to 77grams.QUALITY - The mouse is built for plastic and has no rubber on the sides as you might expect. This for me makes it slightly slipper than most mice, especially with the tapered edges. The coating used is smooth but in my opinion is too slippery, so you need to grip it harder than mouse mice.BATTERY – This has been amazing with well over two weeks if not a month of use before needing to charge it. It can also be used in combination with the power play charging mousepad if you don’t even want to have to plug it in to charge it. Usual USB charge time is about 1to2hs for a full charge. The battery can’t be changed as it is integrated.SIZE – The mouse is a medium-sized mouse with an even size all over e.g the width on the back, front and sides are very similar within 4mm.BUTTONS – These feel great with a nice short press and click on the left & right buttons. The side one can below blanked off and if used have a very short press allowing for a rapid press and zero spongy feel.CONNECTIVITY – No Bluetooth but you can use a USB Dongle which is slim with only about 1mm sticking out. There is also a USB cable for when it needs charging or if you want to use it wired.SOFTWARE – This uses the Logitech G software package and within this, you can fully customise the mouse from which button you want to do what to turning off the RGB logo. The software also provides a live status if the battery status which is nice.IN THE BOX - The box includes a custom 2m soft rubber USB cable for charging, USB block a manual and blank button. The USB dongle is located and stored under the button inside the mouse.CONCLUSION - If you are looking for an awesome wireless mouse that can hold it's own against the top wired mice then look no further as this G Pro Wireless is here. If you are concerned about how slippy this mouse is or are on a tighter budget then check out the Logitech G305 Gaming Mouse.

20.10.2018

I have been using Logitech mice since a wheel mouse was a novelty (in the late 90s, I think); a wireless mouse for four years (no way would I go back to a mouse with a wire); and a Logitech G305 Gaming Mouse (similar to this G PRO but with an on-board AA battery) for the past four months.Having a re-chargeable battery is a definite further step forward for the gaming mouse. It makes it lighter too – 80 grams, as compared with 98 grams, incl. battery, for the G305. That’s a very significant difference, although personally I’m happy with a mouse of about 100 grams. I wouldn’t want a mouse that was even lighter than this one.Lookout though, the ‘wow’ feature on the G PRO is that the maximum DPI available goes up to 16,000.That’s fast! I thought the G305 was fast at 12,000.The G PRO fits nicely in the hand and can be programmed to toggle between up to five DPI speeds. Out of the box, though, it comes with just four default values – 400, 800, 1600 and 3200. Interesting! Well, most of us have more mundane uses for our mice besides gaming, and 3200 is about right for general use, as Logitech clearly know. The button for changing between your five selected values (or Logitech’s default values) is on the underside of the mouse and is not itself re-programmable.On top, it is a seven button mouse. That includes the left and right click-buttons, a switch built-in to the scroll wheel (press down), and two pairs of buttons mounted on the left and right hand sides. All can be re-programmed, offering in total many possible combinations of button-activated actions. Re-programming the buttons requires a visit to the Logitech website.Something entirely new to me is that the four side buttons can be removed and blanked-off. Customised bits of plastic are provided for the purpose.If nothing else, the two paired sets of buttons, along with its asymmetric shape, make the mouse equally good for left-handed as right-handed use.Some features of other recent Logitech mice that this one does not have are a horizontal scroll and functioning on a glass-topped table, desk, etc. (It does however work on the surface of one’s own leg – trousered or untrousered! – and on the surface of a bed quilt) I was also sorry to find that this mouse is not compatible with the ‘unifying receiver’ shared by my Logitech K800 wireless keyboard and MX Anywhere 2 and MX Master mice. So its being a wireless mouse doesn’t save on USB ports as you need one for its receiver.The recharging cable can be used, with an adaptor (provided), to bring the receiver closer to your mouse. Depending on your set-up, that may be helpful, but mine is perfectly happy operating at a distance of 70cm (28 inches) from the cpu and receiver.The warranty covers ‘defects in materials and workmanship’ (hardware only) and is for two years. If mine should fail in that time – or in what I consider a reasonable period following the end of the warranty – I will report further below this line. But my experience with Logitech mice and keyboards has only ever been good, so I don’t expect trouble.

I had been contemplating buying this mouse for about 2 months and was mainly put off due to the price.Initially all the mouses i have used previously where razer devices, such as the copperhead and death adder and death adder elite, However what constantly kept annoying the living hell out of me was that the rubber side grips on the death adders would fall off after 1-2 years so i decided to invest in a mouse that has no rubber grips at the side.This is my first wireless mouse that I've owned and was skeptical at first because i work from home, and after I've finished work i generally spend most of my time on the PC playing fps shooters or watching movies so am on a PC about 16 hours a day.I've

To start off with I will talk about the looks of this wireless gaming mouse. I love the stealthy look that this mouse has. It has a sleek finish and really looks like a quality item. I also really like the backlit G and the fact that it can can also change colour in terms of the lights is also a very nice feature which makes the mouse look really cool. A feature which I really like about this mouse is that it can be used with either your left or right hand so no matter which hand is your preferred hand it is design for both as it has thumb press-able buttons on both sides of the mouse itself. Very cool feature. The clicks with this mouse feel great and sharp. There is no lag and the are instantaneous.

16.1.2020

I bought this for a friend and they say that this is a great mouse that is really easy to use. On the technical side it has very durable main buttons (upto 50 million presses) that require no effort to press down, that is you don't have to press the buttons down very far to activate a click action which has the added bonus of allowing very fast clicks very easily. This click action is adjustable too, but it was perfect out of the box for my friend.It has a flexible cable that easily bends and tends not to get in the way when moving the mouse around. It even has the glowing, syncronised LED lights that younger gamers tend to appreciate but these can of course be switched off if required.This is also ambidextrous,

I have had the G-Pro Wireless for around 5/6 months now and I thought it would probably be a good time to review the mouse as I have a good feel for it & have experienced it for a while.This is by far the best mouse I've ever used. Previously before I decided to finally purchase this mouse, I was very hesitant due to hearing that wireless mice cause input lag compared to wired mice and that was the main factor stopping me from eventually going wireless. Then I saw the G Pro Wireless on Amazon and kept it in my basket for a few weeks until I decided to give it a try & if I didn't like it, just to return it.My initial thoughts upon holding the mouse were that I was really surprised with how light the mouse actually was,

3.3.2019

Absolutely fantastic mouse. This is my second wireless mouse and I had nothing but trouble with the first (a Naga) and then went back to wires for a while. When my Corsair mouse started playing up I thought I'd try this mouse as the reviews were outstanding and it sounded like wireless was finally problem free.Setup was simple, one of my favourite features is once you've created a profile for the mouse (dpi, hotkeys, lighting) you can upload it to the onboard memory and then never launch the software again, this is great in an age where every peripheral needs software in the background using system resources.It simply connects once you plug in the tiny usb dongle, no hassle there.

9.9.2018

Feels like a very similar shape to the Zowie FK2 but lighter and more fitting into the palm with a higher, more evenly spread arch (not as steep as the G403 at the back though, so no sudden drop), nicely weighted clicks, excellent responsiveness (the wireless tech feels as good or better in game than any wired gaming mouse I've tried) and the battery and tracking performance is top drawer by today's standards. Scroll wheel is also excellent with satisfying, defined movement points - but I honestly don't care about that too much (seems very similar to the G Pro wired wheel, if that helps). Lighting is fine - just the logo with the nowadays standard RGB cycle/breathe/etc options,

19.1.2020

Wireless, light weight, ambidextrous (modular buttons) fully customisable with a 1st class HERO sensor!!You are looking at a low weight for a wireless gaming mouse it really is astonishing how light it is at only 80g. the mouse has space for powerplay adapter in the back increasing the weight or you can add a weight puck (not included) should you want greater weighter feel. This Mouse has modular buttons allowing for either side to be activated or to have all 4 additional buttons available should you wish or just be a perfect match for both left- and right-hand players.As you well know the wireless lightspeed mice from Logitech are as good as wired mice,

21.5.2019

I had an MX Master and the revised MX Master gold edition (or whatever fancy name they called it)... both used the Logitech unifying receiver and were mostly great. But annoyingly there would be severe input lags occasionally, to the point where I'd be flinging the mouse around trying to get something to happen and it would ignore half my input and suddenly move somewhere completely different. I'd read that the sensor on the G PRO was significantly better and can 100% attest that this is the case. Having used it now for over 6 weeks, I haven't had a single lag occurrence, and the precision is excellent too. The software that comes with the mouse allows you to customise the colour of the "G" on the unit,

21.11.2018

Wait, a computer mouse that cost's £129, so whats the deal and why so expensive.First this mouse is quick, very quick it responds to movements instantly and most importantly accurately. The mouse is light but perfectly weighted. This mouse is directly aimed at the gaming community.This mouse is can be fully customised using Logitech's gaming software that you download from their site, button operation can be completely changed to perform any function within the gaming environment. There are also LED indicators for battery level and DPI level, the latter can be altered with the touch of a button under the mouse. The mouse has a letter 'G' that leds illuminate in any colour you like,
