Is your laptop working sluggish? Simply obtain extra RAM! (In case you’re so younger that you simply’ve by no means Googled “decrease again ache,” you might need missed this traditional of early web humor.) However Logitech is doing one thing related in actual life for a few of its high-end gaming mice: boosting sensor DPI with a software program replace. Neat.

Logitech not too long ago introduced that each mouse in its G sequence with a Hero 2 sensor will probably be boosted to its most doable decision — a staggering 44,000 DPI (dots per inch) — with a software program replace that’s deliberate for October this yr.

That’s in accordance with PC Gamer, reporting from Logitech’s Logi Play convention. On the time of writing, solely three mice use the Hero 2 sensor: the Professional X Superlight 2, the newly-announced Professional X Superlight 2 Dex (which is nearly similar however with an 8K polling charge and a grippier form), and the older ambidextrous Professional 2 Lightspeed. (Good grief, Logitech! You want higher names to your gaming mice.)

Whereas the Hero 2 sensors within the older Professional 2 Lightspeed and Professional X Superlight 2 are similar to the one within the Professional X Superlight 2 Dex, they’re working at decrease 32,000 resolutions out of the field. That offers the brand new Professional X Superlight 2 Dex and its earlier stablemates the very best DPI of any gaming mouse in the marketplace. For sake of comparability, Razer’s flagship Viper V3 Professional mouse has “solely” 35,000 DPI.

That already looks as if insane overkill to me, somebody who not often units his mouse above 1,200 DPI even when gaming. However I’m not a 360 noscope grasp or no matter. The upgrades will come through Logitech’s omnibus G driver system, so preserve a watch out for it. Count on most of Logitech’s $100+ gaming mice to come back with the Hero 2 sensor by default going ahead.
