If you thought Logitech's G603 Lightspeed
was light on thumb controls compared to its G602 predecessor, you can
relax -- you'll be drowning in them this time around. The company has introduced
a G604 Lightspeed mouse that packs six thumb buttons like the years-old
G602 while offering modern creature comforts like a 16,000DPI HERO
sensor, Bluetooth support and, of course, no-lag Lightspeed wireless.
It's pitched as ideal for playing World of Warcraft Classic and other titles where you might have an abundance of commands that beg for faster access.
You can expect a total of 15 customizable controls, a dual-mode
scroll wheel and, as is more common with Logitech's mice these days,
plenty of battery life. You'll get ten days' worth of battery using
Lightspeed (shorter than the 21 days of the G603, but it's more
complex), but a whopping 5.5 months on Bluetooth -- and both need only
one AA battery.
The G604 arrives later in the fall for $100.
That's decidedly more expensive than the $70 G603, but it's evident
Logitech sees this more as a step up than a straightforward replacement.
