Alleged Logitech G Pro X Hyperlight Wireless Gaming Mouse Appears Online
Logitech's competitive "G" gaming brand released a short teaser video on Friday (May 19) that alludes to an upcoming next gen product - with a cryptic message: "Built with Pros. Made for you. 05.24.2023." Gaming mouse enthusiasts were quick to leap into speculation mode and predicted that Logitech is set to reveal a successor to the G Pro X (GPX) Superlight (weighing in at 61-63 g) wireless gaming mouse - this model and its (sort of) predecessor 2018's Logitech G Pro Wireless (GPW) have been widely adopted by competitive multiplayer gamers. Others have tempered expectations, and reckon that a new lineup of gaming-oriented headphones is incoming.
The GPX and GPW models have topped mouse popularity charts consistently for the past four years, but hardcore FPS-heads have long wondered when Logitech would eventually catch up with the likes of Razer in terms of cutting-edge sensor and wireless technology. A retail listing on China's online shopping platform, Taobao, has seemingly broken Logitech's (intended?) teaser marketing method - leaked images show a new wireless model called "GPRO X Hyperlight," along with an alleged unit weight of 49 grams, a 35K Hero Sensor, an 8 Khz LIGHTSPEED wireless polling rate, and Lightforce hybrid switches. The Taobao page has since disappeared but the information has been preserved and shared on social media and Reddit. Debates have raged about the authenticity of this leak, so the images and spec details should be taken with a grain of salt.

This (rumored) Hyperlight looks to be taking on Razer's Viper V2 Pro, judging from the basic set of specifications.
I got rid of both and purchased a Razer Viper which survives even on my 2 years old son's hands.
...I haven't bought a replacement for the G513 yet - I'm using a Logitech K540 taken from work.
To be fair, I use a Logitech MX Master mouse for work and it's working perfectly the last 6-7 years.
Micro USB can go to hell at this point, having one cable to charge literally any of my devices, laptops, phones etc is the way.
I still have a seven year old Bose Soundlink Revolve+ that uses micro USB, but that's the last of the holdouts.
I think the latency is actually fairly competitive for a 1000hz wireless mouse.
I also wish they'd bring back the lighter clicking earlier version of the G305. Sometime after the first 3 years of production they changed something that increased the force required to actuate M1 and M2.
gg no re
Also, lol at believing any jitter less than 1ms could possibly be detected by a human.
If they really want to fix this "issue" the way to do it would be to lock the sensor poll to the monitor refresh rate. But big numbers sell.
