Logitech’s finest gaming mouse simply bought higher

Logitech is rolling out a firmware replace for its standard G Professional X Superlight 2 mouse this week that can allow 4kHz response charges. The upper polling charge is designed for prime DPI / low in-game sensitivity gamers who play esports PC video games, which is who Logitech markets its Superlight collection of mice towards.

A better polling charge on a mouse basically signifies that when a body is rendered, you get a more moderen and correct cursor place proven in your display screen. The time delay between your cursor and the place it’s being displayed in your display screen is decreased the upper the polling charge.

Excessive polling charges sound nice, however they solely kick in when your mouse wants to succeed in that charge. So a 4KHz polling charge doesn’t imply your mouse is continually offering 4,000 updates a second; moderately, it simply signifies that it’s able to doing so.

How all of this interprets right into a perceivable distinction remains to be up for debate, although. YouTuber Optimum, who does some critically in-depth PC gaming tech movies, checked out greater polling charges a couple of months again. Optimum discovered that you simply’ll have to set a DPI of 1,600 or above to succeed in a peak saturation level to power the mouse to replace sufficient to make the most of a 4kHz mode, and even then, there’s no apparent signal of an improved smoothness or response.

If you happen to do need to allow the 4kHz mode on the G Professional X Superlight 2, then the firmware replace is accessible by means of the G Hub app proper now. You’ll have to plug the mouse into your PC, as each the mouse and the wi-fi receiver get up to date firmware. The brand new 4kHZ mode will take up extra battery life, although, however that’s the worth you need to pay to possibly hit that important head shot slightly bit faster.
