Logitech announces the Logitech Pro Gaming Mouse

Holy, I generally prefer Logitech, but even I can't stomache the cost of that mouse...

They usually go on sale 3-6 months after release. I bought my G303 3 months later for $30 at Best Buy.
 
Logitech website and MSRP is typically higher then what you can actually buy them at.

G303 is a bit of a special case though, it wasn't very popular due to the shape and dropped in street prices very fast.

This release is interesting in terms of demographics in terms of groups that lean towards this design philosophy or the G502's. OCN mice subforum for example is really excited about this and the other recent releases of light weight simple shapes without button clustering using this sensor. While from what I'm seeing on more general tech forums you have opinions like the above about not enough buttons.
 
This is going to be a great buy if you catch it on sale for around 40-50$ / €

Although I've honestly thought it's going to be cheaper when you consider the price of the G303 which seems to be more expensive build wise.

I still love the feel and shape of the Deathadder but I will try to get my hands on this at a best buy to see how it feels under my hand.

The MSRP is the same as the G303, both are $69.99 USD MSRP.

Street prices for the G303 tanked because it was unpopular due to the shape and also to some extent the early QC issues. It is also now even in else demand due to the announcement of the G Pro and various other 3360 lightweight simple mice, as previously the G303 would've been the only option for the new sensor (or variant) unless you opted for a large heavy with lots of buttons (G502) or very expensive (G900).
 
Might get flamed for this.. but I preordered one yesterday. Hoping its similar to my old faithful G9 mouse. I had been using the corsair m65 for the past 6 months and honestly it just never felt right to me. The laser ended up going out on it last week which forced me to revert back to my old g9. This old mouse just feels better in every way. Hoping the G Pro has the same feeling for me.

Have you received it? what do you think of the shape and the grip?

Really? I love the G303 due to its shape. The G502 just looked awful in comparison, too bulky and had too much useless buttons on it.

Well mouse shape is of course at the end going to be highly subjective and personal. In general however the shape itself wasn't very well liked. Most of the complaint was generally regarding the diamond type shape with the thin/tapered back/palm area. That being said a lot of people still chose it over the G502 due to the size/weight but that would have been more of a "lesser of two evils" type of choice.

This is why that there is so much hype over the G Pro and G403, in that they are both light weight while having more classic type shapes (familiarity being another preference typically) while having the new sensor.

It's the closest in shape that I could get to this.

Well I believe that was another relatively unpopular release in their line as well.

But again mouse shapes are subjective. The best thing is if there are more choices out their so everyone can find their preference.

Also the 3360 is out now which is supposedly functionally the same below 2100 DPI for the sensor, so that opens up more shape choices.
 
So I'm not alone. I'm using a new G900 from Logitech and it's a great mouse but I am sorely missing my G9. I miss the size and the weight. I was used to it and I want something like it. I feel like kind of an idiot for basically making an impluse buy. Chances are I'll eventually get used to the G900 but it just isn't the same and I feel like I'm fighting myself on it.

I'm at day 28 of 30 with Amazon and I'm halfway tempted but honestly? It's pretty lame if I send this thing back after using it for almost a month. I'll sell it myself if I find something closer to what I want.

Wired is fine. Don't care about wireless.



Logitech needs to put out a successor to the G9 and G9x ASAP and I'll sell ths and buy that right away.

As it stands, even at that, I'm considering making another purchase in the interim even if I need to switch brands despite my usual Logitech bias.

Here are the options I've looked at "closest to being like a G9/G9x:"

1.) Get fleeced on the aftermarket for another G9 or G9x (no)
2.) Logitech 502 (or 402 or something along these lines)
3.) Mad Catz RAT6
4.) Corsair M45 or 65
5.) Some Alienware... TacTx?... it's a knock off. Somewhere....
 
I researched mice for the past two days reading reviews on Amazon and Overclock.net
What I like about any mainstream mouse you can customize the stuff with software if you can't do that it kinda sucks if you can't get the polling rate and DPI you want
cause the software won't do it. Was reading alot about cramping the G403 even though people say it has a nice shape. The pro has none of that in reviews so it's one of the
best mice out there except for the price which is alot just for a silly mouse. Still think the G logo on the back of the mice is ugly as hell they should just etch the words Logi on the back or Logitech which would look alot nicer. Alot of the older Logitech mice are not refurbs on ebay but they are counterfeits being solid made on alibaba or whatever so that G9X on ebay might be a fake.
I have never tried a G9X but it looks cool and I don't see why Logitech can't find the old molds for the mice and make them again. Instead of having like 12 different gaming mice in the past year with all differnt qualities you would be hard pressed what to choose cause even Logitech doesn't know what the people want it seems. Which is why the Pro mouse is 69.00 =)
 
The shell is always going to be very subjective. I can find plenty of comments of people not preferring the G403's shell to the G Pro and vice versa. Or even the G502 and vice versa, or whatever other shape.

Even if we look at one aspect of shell design in weight. Objectively lower weight is better but some people will prefer a higher weight. Some mainstream tech/gaming reviews of the G Pro and G403 actually mentioned the lighter weights as a negative quality. Meanwhile you have a ton of people saying finally they have the 3366 sensor in something other then the heavy G502 (even though some people think even the G502 is too light at the other end).

The G Pro's price is comparable to other mice of it's class for example the Deathadder.

If you just want the G Pro's shell and care less about the internals wait for the G102. It'll be much cheaper since it has cheaper internals.
 
This is a pretty good mouse first impressions is it's pretty light weight nothing like the slight heft of my steel series Rival.
It's clearance off the mouse pad is good enough so it's usable unlike my Sensei and Raw mice which are very low but still usable.
The glow is pretty annoying from the leds the cord for the mouse is way too stiff they should of went with rubber. The clicks are lite and crisp but not as light as my
G600 MMO mouse which are really flimsy. The fact they charged 69.00 for this mouse initially is boggling. It feels cheap cause of the weight and I think I'll use it just for gaming
because I don't want to grease it up with Pizza ect :LOL::LOL::rolleyes::rolleyes::vamp::vamp::vamp::vamp::vamp::vamp::vamp::vamp:

Should be able to adjust the LEDs with the software. It'll save the settings and you can uninstall after.

If you're adventurous you can debraid the mouse (it's braid over a regular cable I think. You'll need to double check and look it up). Or if even more so get a new cable.

There is actually a cheaper mouse with the same shell in the G102 which uses a different sensor, switches, and a normal cable in Asian markets at the moment.

Logitech has always had high MSRP values. Always wait for the sale, especially with the holiday season around the corner as these were only just released in September.
 
I wish it was a little bigger but this is a gaming mouse a good mouse you can go left to right and up and down on the mouse bad equally not have a interment point where you slow down in a game. I used a Rival for the last two years or so it's OK but the big hump is bothersome and I guess the Rival 100 isn't all that spectacular clicks ect...

I Hotlines feet in the mail for this thing not sure how much of a boast that will give me.

The Best mouse I still have was my logitech G500 I just liked everything about that mouse.
 
You can tell the sensor in this thing is really good just precision and I'm using a 60hz screen at the moment also.
 
Did you not look at the G403? Same internals basically as the G Pro. Larger ergo shape would be closer to the G500.

I actually ordered both and will be keeping the one which fits better.
 
I head the 403 cramps people's hands up it looks good but people were complaining about the shape.
Ok true story I was screwing around with the display model like a minute at work to see if the
Logitech Proetus would work for me I think it would work which is a very desirable mouse due
to all the buttons but people complain it's too narrow I think it would work out after trying the pro mouse out.
 
I wouldn't listen to other people's generic opinions on the shell. Everyone's hand and grip is different. If there was a universally good mouse shape they would've come up with it already. If it fits you it fits you. if it doesn't fit that person, it just doesn't fit that person.
