Logitech Launches G604 LIGHTSPEED Gaming Mouse with 15 Programmable Buttons

Logitech Corporation will release the G604 LIGHTSPEED Gaming Mouse, a multi-button wireless mouse from the Logitech G gaming brand, on November 21, 2019 (Thursday). The price is open, with a suggested retail price of 12,760 yen (tax included).

In MMO*1, MOBA*2, and battle royale games, there are often situations where long commands are input or multiple keys are pressed instantly. In order to reduce operational complexity and prevent mistakes, it is necessary to assign operations to the mouse, which has many buttons, in advance so that they can be executed immediately.

1 MMO: Massively Multiplayer Online. An online game in which many people can participate at the same time.
2 MOBA: Abbreviation for Multiplayer Online Battle Arena. A game in which multiple players are divided into two teams and fight against the enemy team while cooperating with their allies, aiming for victory.

The new "G604" has 15 programmable buttons, including a wheel that supports high-speed scrolling, so that more operations can be assigned to the mouse. The six buttons on the left side are placed in two rows, spaced appropriately so that they can be pressed quickly and precisely with the thumb. Logitech's unique LIGHTSPEED wireless technology allows users to play without any delay, and the high-performance sensor accurately complements the mouse's movements.

The main specifications are as follows.

15 programmable buttons

Using the Logitech G HUB software ( download required), users can set frequently used commands for the 15 buttons, including the 6 side buttons, to perform operations with a single button, giving them an advantage in games. In addition, by saving the settings to the mouse, you can instantly set up the playing environment even when on the move.

Logitech's unique LIGHTSPEED

The unique LIGHTSPEED wireless technology features a low latency with a report rate (i.e., the frequency at which the mouse transmits movement to the computer) of 1 ms. The button on the top of the unit can be pressed to switch to a Bluetooth connection, allowing the user to select the connection method that best suits the environment in which the mouse will be used.

Support for high-speed scrolling

The scroll wheel is made of highly durable metal. In addition to ratchet scrolling for precise operation, high-speed scrolling is supported. By using the ratchet scroll wheel to select weapons and spells during a game and the high-speed scroll wheel to skip menus, users will be able to efficiently advance through the game.

HERO 16K" Sensor

Logitech's highest performance sensor, the HERO 16K, provides one-to-one tracking. With the Logitech G HUB software, the resolution can be set from 100 to 16,000 DPI, allowing for large cursor movements with the slightest of movements.

Long-life battery

A single AA battery provides 240 hours of use in LIGHTSPEED mode and 5.5 months of normal use in Bluetooth mode.
