The Logitech G900 Chaos Spectrum gaming mouse will go on sale in April, with a MSRP of $149.99. The mouse has dimensions of 130 mm x 67 mm x 40 mm, and while this mouse doesn’t offer the massive button count that some games require, it does offer some unique features that should help set it apart from some of the other Logitech offerings, including the ability to configure the mouse for either left or right-handed grips.
If you go back in time to the Logitech G7 wireless gaming mouse, it offered two batteries and you’d be lucky to get through a single day without swapping the battery at least once. That is impressive because the mouse weighs just 107 grams. Logitech has put a lot of effort into power efficiency as well, and the G900 is rated for up to 32 hours of continuous use, or 24 hours with the default lighting enabled. This lets you charge while still using the mouse (amazingly not all mice do this even today) but either on wired or wireless, the G900 has the same 1000 Hz reporting rate. The mouse is a wireless model, connecting over 2.4 GHz, and it can also be used as a wired mouse by connecting the cable on the front. I’ve used a lot of mice, and I keep finding myself migrating back to Logitech for this feature alone. As with many of Logitech’s higher end mice, the scroll wheel is the fantastic hyper-fast scroll design. The buttons are rated for 20 million clicks. Logitech has designed a mechanical pivot for the buttons, which they state offer a crisp, clean click, and the metal spring tensioning reduces the amount of slack in the system before the buttons hit the actual switches. Maximum acceleration is greater than 40 Gs and the mouse can handle 300 inches per second of travel speed. It offers 200 to 12,000 DPI and features zero smoothing or filtering across the range.

The software also allows you to calibrate the sensor against the surface you are going to use the mouse on, which should help with responsiveness.Īs for the tracking capabilities, the G900 Chaos Spectrum mouse features the same PMW3366 optical sensor that Logitech features in some of their other mice. In addition, the mouse features customizable lighting with up to 16.8 million colors, and you can use the Logitech software to customize the lighting into breathing and other patterns. But it’s not just a vanilla mouse which can work in either hand, but instead it’s a mouse that can be customized to fit as either a left-handed or right-handed model. The G900 Chaos Spectrum is a wired and wireless mouse, and it is one of the few gaming mice which is ambidextrous. The Powercore connects to the mouse magnetically, and this also serves as the charging leads.Today Logitech is announcing the latest in their lineup of gaming mice. Non-Powerplay users can stick an optional 10 gram weight in this slot, but Powerplay users will instead insert the “Powercore,” which despite the name is really just another small circle of plastic. Making your G903 a Powerplay mouse is as easy as removing the circular piece of plastic embedded in the bottom. You can read our lengthier Powerplay review, but I’ll give you a brief rundown. With Powerplay there’s no need for that cable. At that point, you’ll need to plug in the included Micro USB cable and temporarily turn your G903 into a wired mouse for about two hours as the battery recharges. That’s in line with Logitech’s figures, which tout 24 to 30 hours of battery depending on your lighting setup. I got two to three days of hard use (10-12 hours) out of the G903 while reviewing Divinity: Original Sin II before the battery ran down to zero. Moving from the G502, I entered all my usual dpi settings, and aside from the shape it was like I hadn’t even changed mice.Īs for the battery, even without Powerplay the G903 is respectable. We’ve written at length about the 3366 in the past, but suffice it to say, it’s still one of the most accurate and precise sensors on the market, and the implementation here is spot on.
Like the G502 and most other high-end Logitech mice, the G903 uses the PWM3366 sensor.
