I tried a Logitech wireless mouse, and it has a surprisingly useful gimmick

The purchase of a wireless mouse costs Rs 8,995, but why would you justify investing that amount? Following my initial consideration of the concept, I continued to give it more thought and explored the idea. However, there is a gimmick that could convince you to buy the Logitech G309, and it is a beneficial one. However, in order to take advantage of this gimmick, you will need to purchase the Powerplay charging system it comes with. The mouse comes with a wireless charging mousepad that can be purchased separately and is compatible with the mouse.

This allows it to be said to be a perfect battery-free mouse pad because it doesn’t stop the mouse from clicking. So you can use this mouse pad without batteries. I can say that this Logitech G309 is a great mouse for gaming as well as business as it does not have the capability of wireless charging. In spite of the fact that it is not affordable, it is really simple to operate, it is absolutely silent, and it has an exceptional battery life as a result of the design of the device. This review and analysis will focus on the Logitech G309 Lightspeed wireless mouse so that you may better understand it.

The use of a wireless mouse is something that I always do, regardless of how effective the touchpad on the laptop may be. I am unsure as to whether or not this is accurate for other individuals. In light of the fact that I spend a significant amount of time travelling for work and that I rarely work in an office, I have decided to use a mouse because it is more easy for me to file reports from media rooms or hotel rooms. It’s just not a good experience when working on complex cases like when working from a standing desk in a hotel room with a trackpad until the wee hours, especially when typing. It feels a little too much like sitting in an office cubicle if a computer is equipped with a mouse. Both the longevity and the convenience of the product are two aspects that I find to be incredibly enticing. In the year 2018, I took the decision to acquire a Logitech mouse, and it continues to perform flawlessly to this day. I am always open to the prospect of using a new mouse, provided that it is pleasant to use for extended periods of time and has a long battery life. I am also comfortable using the mouse for long amounts of time.

Simple design and setup

After all, the Logitech G309 is a mouse, and given the circumstances, its design is plain enough to make it seem accessible. This feature has a unique look because it has six buttons. It’s possible that the Logitech MX Master 3S has an unconventional look; However, it is meant to appeal to a specific demographic. To put that in perspective, the G309 has a very firm feel when held in the hand, and this is true for individuals with larger hands as well. The device weighs only 86 grammes when it is loaded with the AA battery that is included, or 68 grammes (without the battery) when it is used with the Powerplay wireless charging system (more on that technology will be discussed later). This item is exceptionally lightweight.

The mouse is made out of plastic, and the Logitech G logo is printed on the hump of the mouse. The mouse is constructed using construction materials. Although it does not come with RGB illumination, it does have a pinprick status LED that changes colours as you cycle through different DPI increments. This is despite the fact that it does not come with RGB lighting. When using the G30, it is meant to stay in a comfortable position between thumb and forefinger until the user is finished.

The left and right buttons are located on the front of the mouse to help navigate the web. The scroll wheel also has a satisfying click, but it does not offer a free-spinning option. In addition, there is a scroll wheel. The ‘Forward’ and ‘Back’ buttons of the G309 device may be found on the lower left side of the device where they are positioned. On the other hand, the fact that the thumb buttons are located on the left side of the gadget gives the impression that it was specially built with users who are right-handed in mind.

On the rear of the G309, more specifically in the middle of the gadget, is where you will find the laser, which has a sensitivity of 25,000 dots per inch. It is possible to turn the mouse on or off by using the small toggle switch that is located on the right side of the laser. There is a round button located on the left side of the device that enables you to switch between various technological devices. When using this mouse, it is simple to switch between the two different Bluetooth-connected devices that it is compatible with because it can be used with up to two separate devices. The fact that the G309 is compatible with a wide range of operating systems, such as ChromeOS, Android, iOS, and Windows PCs, is an outstanding feature of this product.

Setting up the G309 gadget is a straightforward process. The mouse is advertised with “batteries included,” which indicates that it comes with an AA battery that has already been placed and is ready to be used. Once the mouse has been turned on, the battery should be inserted into the mouse, and then the mouse should be connected to your laptop through the use of Bluetooth. You also have the option of utilising the Lightspeed connection by connecting the dongle to a USB Type-A port on the respective PC. The procedure of getting the G309 to pair with my Mac was uncomplicated and took very little time. Pointer movement is fast, accurate and smooth on the G309; It is impossible to see any lag when moving the mouse over this device. My iPhone, Mac, and Windows laptop were the three devices I used to test the mouse and evaluate its performance. It works well on wood and plastic, no issues with following the pointer on any of these materials.

Logitech’s premium accessory options may be personalised through the use of the company’s G Hub software, which is one of the things that I appreciate about them. This is one of the things that I appreciate about them. Depending on the application that you use, you have the flexibility to customise the buttons on your G309 so that they are specific to that program. The mouse’s sensitivity presets can actually be adjusted as desired to achieve the desired results. In my experience, the software was not only easy to understand, but also easy to install.

Wireless charging is a really nice addition but comes with a hidden cost

There is a possibility that the functionality of magnetic charging that is included in the Logitech G309 is the reason why it is more expensive than a traditional mouse. Logitech has now introduced this feature to its mouse, especially for less than a hundred dollars (you can buy the G309 online for less than eight thousand dollars) You may have heard that some products are capable of wireless charging, and now Logitech is finally offering this as an option to his mouse. It was previously mentioned that in order to make use of the mouse’s capabilities to be charged wirelessly, you would be need to purchase Logitech’s PowerPlay wireless charging mousepad instead of the mouse itself.

During the time that the mouse is being used, this mousepad will charge the mouse. So you’ll never have a battery that’s out of charge. In fact, the supercapacitors are basically microbatteries that are continuously wirelessly charged by a PowerPlay mousepad under the G309 where the supercapacitor is pre-installed. However, the mousepad is not required and must be purchased separately. It is a discretionary accessory. Due to the fact that the price of the attachment is quite high, I was unable to find the PowerPlay in stock on the internet at the time that I was writing this review: unfortunately.

But the G309 has an advantage over its predecessor, the mouse that was wirelessly powered (the mouse that did not offer any other recharging option), since unlike its predecessors, it also used an AA battery when logged in. That is a huge difference in terms of charging. It uses one AA battery, so 600 hours of battery life comes with the Bluetooth use and 300 hours when working with 2.4GHz wireless. And in simple terms, G309 no longer packs rechargeable battery; instead, it fits a supercapacitor which has enough charge and can power the mouse through direct contact and even unuse. Having said that, it does allow you to use the PowerPlay mousepad without a battery, which is actually convenient for you once in a while

It should be clear that the Logitech G309 is considered an affordable device and not an expensive mouse. In spite of the fact that it is equipped with a magnetic charging mechanism that is completely unique, the PowerPlay mousepad is pretty expensive considering that it costs more than one hundred dollars. Taking all of this into consideration, the G309 is a wireless mouse that is not only very well designed but also very easy to use. It is characterized by a high level of reactivity, and the battery has a propensity to keep its charge for a considerable amount of time.
