Problems, parts and running costs

Summary

An ambidextrous wireless gaming mouse built around Logitech’s HERO 25K sensor and LIGHTSPEED connection, aimed at players who want a tested, medium-weight mouse with four removable side buttons. Check the software and the charging cable before you buy: it needs Logitech G HUB for full customization and charges over micro-USB.

Strengths

  • True ambidextrous shape with removable side buttons suits left- and right-handed players.
  • RTINGS measured excellent click latency and near-zero CPI deviation.
  • Build quality is excellent per RTINGS and TechPowerUp (10/10).
  • Battery lasts 48 hours with lighting on and up to 111 hours at 125 Hz with lighting off.
  • Onboard memory stores five profiles for use on other machines.

Weaknesses

  • No Bluetooth; wireless works only through the LIGHTSPEED receiver.
  • Charges over micro-USB with a stiff rubber cable.
  • Clicks are loud and the plastic can feel clammy in warm conditions.
  • Owner reports cite Omron double-clicking and scroll-wheel encoder failures.
  • Stock PTFE feet are thin and can peel after months.
  • G HUB software draws widespread user complaints about startup and connection.

Battery life and charging

Manufacturer rates 48 hours with default lighting and 60 hours with lighting off. TechPowerUp measured a 240 mAh battery delivering 111 hours at 125 Hz polling with lighting off, about 60 hours at 1000 Hz, and 48 hours with lighting on. Tom’s Guide measured roughly 2% battery drain per hour. The mouse can be used while charging, and it supports Logitech’s POWERPLAY wireless charging mat, which is sold separately. Charging is over micro-USB, and the cable is stiff rubber, so it can drag if you play wired.

Sensor and tracking

RTINGS measured CPI deviation of 0.00% at 800 and 1600 CPI, 0.17% at 400 CPI, with precision error between speeds of 0.37% and between CPI of 0.36%, and a worst tracking error of 1.25%. Sensor latency was 17.1 ms to the start of movement, 5.3 ms at half movement, and 7.9 ms to the end. Minimum lift-off distance is 1.2 mm, polling runs at 1000 Hz, and the sensor does not work on glass. The mouse ships with a HERO 16K sensor on 2018 units that Logitech raised to 25K through firmware, so older units may still report a 100–16,000 CPI range until updated.

Shape, buttons and comfort

The shape is true ambidextrous with removable side buttons on both sides, accommodating most hand sizes and grip types, though small hands may struggle with a fingertip grip. RTINGS found loud clicks and a back-heavy weight distribution, and TechPowerUp and GamesRadar noted the smooth plastic can feel clammy during longer sessions in warm climates. The DPI button sits on the underside, and the mouse weighs 80 g (2.82 oz) by manufacturer spec, or 80.1 g as measured by RTINGS, dropping to 77.6 g with the receiver cover plate removed.

Software and reliability

Logitech G HUB (or Logitech Gaming Software on older units) is required for full customization, with onboard memory storing five profiles for use on other machines. RTINGS relays widespread user reports of G HUB startup, freezing, and device-connection problems. Owner reports add Omron double-clicking, scroll-wheel encoders that scroll the wrong way or become unusable after months, stock feet peeling after roughly six months to a year, and charging or battery-reading glitches such as a misreported percentage or failure to charge when fully drained. The first unit of one long-term owner stopped working after a few years of use, and that owner bought a second one.

Repairs, parts and upkeep

Warranty is a 2-year limited hardware warranty. Routine upkeep means keeping the feet and sensor clean, charging over micro-USB, and updating firmware through G HUB. Repairability is reasonable: iFixit documents disassembly and replacement guides for the feet, battery, side button, and switch, and lists model number M-R0070. Third-party feet are commonly used, and replacement parts are available through iFixit and aftermarket sellers. No user-replaceable battery is documented as a simple swap, though iFixit documents battery replacement.

Is it worth it?

Logitech’s store listed it at $109.99 at check time, with the black color shown as unavailable. MSRP was $149 at launch in 2018, later cited as $129.99. Tech4Gamers reviewed it at $129.99. At $109.99 on Logitech’s store, it is a reasonable buy for players who want a tested ambidextrous wireless mouse with a 2-year warranty; value improves if found well below that. Buyers who want USB-C charging and lower weight should look at the newer G Pro X Superlight and Superlight 2, which trade the four side buttons for less weight. Left-handed and ambidextrous-grip players who value the tested sensor accuracy and the four side buttons are the best fit.

Which model this is

This page covers the Logitech G Pro Wireless gaming mouse, LIGHTSPEED wireless, HERO sensor, model number M-R0070 per iFixit, released August 2018. It is an 80 g ambidextrous mouse with four removable side buttons and micro-USB charging. Do not confuse it with the newer G Pro X Superlight (63 g) or G Pro X Superlight 2 (60 g), which use USB-C and fewer side buttons. The Amazon listing for this mouse is ASIN B0BL5YB9D1.
