Logitech G unveils G309 LIGHTSPEED wireless gaming mouse

Logitech G, a brand of Logitech, announced the release of the Logitech G309 LIGHTSPEED Wireless Gaming Mouse. The new device boasts dual-wireless connectivity, precision tracking, and performance reliability, wrapped in a newly designed form factor suitable for a range of users.

Ujesh Desai, Vice President and General Manager of Logitech Gaming, remarked, "For years, we have been committed to evolving our LIGHTSPEED technology and innovation so that everyone from esports pros to new gamers can enjoy wireless gameplay. Our LIGHTSPEED technology, in conjunction with our HERO sensors, has advanced to the point where all gamers, from the world's elite esports professionals to the first-time gamer, know they can trust Logitech G mice to perform every time."

He added, "With the G309 LIGHTSPEED, we have brought the same top-of-the-line technology, including the HERO 25K sensor, POWERPLAY compatibility, and LIGHTSPEED wireless, all at a price point that is affordable to most."

The G309 LIGHTSPEED is compatible with Logitech's POWERPLAY system, which allows users to power the mouse without needing an AA battery when paired with the separately sold Logitech G PowerPlay Wireless Charging System. This substantially reduces the mouse's weight by 18 grams, the equivalent weight of a typical AA alkaline battery. The device also features the power-efficient HERO 25K sensor, delivering over 300 hours of gameplay at a 1 ms report rate in LIGHTSPEED mode on a single AA battery. In Bluetooth mode, the battery life extends to over 600 hours on a single AA battery.

The new mouse is designed to remain compact and lightweight despite housing advanced technology. Weighing only 86 grams with an alkaline AA battery and 68 grams without the battery when used with the POWERPLAY system, the G309 LIGHTSPEED aims to offer durability and portability in an efficient package.

According to Logitech, the G309 leverages the company's exclusive LIGHTSPEED wireless technology, providing a gaming experience that rivals most wired mice. Combining LIGHTSPEED wireless performance with the HERO 25K sensor will reportedly give users a high-performance gaming experience, with responsiveness and accuracy reaching up to 400 IPS and 25,600 DPI without acceleration or smoothing.

The mouse also includes the ability to connect two LIGHTSPEED devices to a single receiver using the Device Pairing Tool found in G HUB. This feature allows players to use the G309 LIGHTSPEED in concert with other LIGHTSPEED peripherals, such as the Logitech G515 TKL LIGHTSPEED Gaming Keyboard.

Another notable feature is the introduction of Logitech G's exclusive LIGHTFORCE hybrid optical-mechanical switches. These switches aim to deliver speed, reliability, and precise actuation with a crisp response. According to the company, the LIGHTFORCE hybrid switches combine galvanic contact parts within the switch to maintain the tactile feeling of mechanical switches while integrating optical triggers for low-latency performance.

The Logitech G309 LIGHTSPEED Wireless Gaming Mouse will be available in black and white. Pre-orders are expected to begin on July 9th, 2024, with a suggested retail price of $149.95.
