Logitech took the wraps off a brand-new premium wireless gaming mouse, dubbed the G900 Chaos Spectrum. The peripheral device's biggest highlight is its ability to deliver exceptional performance without wires — a feat that has not been achieved before.

Even though wireless gaming mice have been around for quite some time now, they could never quite match the performance of their wired siblings. The Logitech G900 Chaos Spectrum promises to remedy this inequality, so it is quite a game-changer.

Hardware Features

Logitech has equipped the G900 Chaos Spectrum gaming mouse with a MW3366 optical sensor with best-in-class tracking performance. The device has a DPI range of 200 to 12,000 DPI with zero smoothing, as well as a 1-millisecond report rate even in wireless mode. The latter requires a tiny 2.4 GHz USB adapter.

The G900 Chaos Spectrum has an ambidextrous design and removable buttons. Its DPI sensitivity is adjustable, with LED lights showing you the level that's in use. The mouse's grip, on the other hand, accommodates any type of hold a player prefers, making it suitable for all types of video games.

At 107 grams, the Logitech is lighter than than any of its competitors. Having a low weight makes the mouse more responsive, as well as comfy for long hours of use. Logitech has gone to great lengths to achieve the low weight, including making a spoked-metal scroll wheel.

Like most Logitech gaming products, the G900 mouse comes with dedicated customization software. It allows gamers to fiddle with the RGB light in the gadget's logo, save various gaming profiles, change the functionality of the buttons, as well as check on its battery performance, among other features.

For the time being, the software suite is only available for Windows computers. Logitech will bring it to Mac OS X in the months ahead.

The device's rechargeable battery numbers are impressive too — the G900 can last up to 32 hours on a single charge. Topping up the battery takes place via a microUSB port and a bundled USB cable. The latter can also come handy in case users want to enjoy the mouse in wired mode.

Live Impressions

The Logitech G900 Chaos Spectrum looks great in the metal. Its black color scheme and ambidextrous design make it look surprisingly "mature" for a gaming mouse, especially if one opts to turn off the light in its logo.

Build quality of the gaming mouse is excellent. The G900 construction is dominated by polycarbonate with a matte finish, so it can take plenty of beating without showing any signs of wear. Logitech backs the device with a two-year warranty just in case anything goes wrong.

Performance-wise, the G900 Chaos Spectrum delivers exactly what Logitech promised. The gaming mouse is incredibly responsive and precise to use. Its high adjustability on the other hand, ensures that gamers can find the perfect setting, and save a profile for all the titles they love.

Tinkering with the device's settings is easy, too. You can either set up the mouse on day one and forget about the software, or tweak its settings to your heart's desire every day depending on your preferences.

We gave the mouse a try on a Mac as well, and it worked great. However, for the time being, there is no access to its software suite.

Wrap-Up

Logitech G900 Chaos Spectrum is not only the ultimate gaming mouse, but also an excellent option for non-gamers looking for cutting-edge performance. Its $149.99 price tag is in line with that of other top-shelf offerings in the segment, so, if you have such a budget, by all means go ahead and pick one up.

The mouse is currently available for pre-order. Retail sales with kick off in early April.
