Logitech G G604 LIGHTSPEED Wireless Gaming Mouse, HERO 25K Sensor, 25,600 DPI, 15 Programmable Controls, Up to 240-Hour Battery Life, Dual Wireless Connectivity Modes, PC/Mac - Black

Decided to upgrade to G604 from G700s (owned 3 of them). At the moment I am happy with the upgrade. First of all, technical specifications of G604: - Sensor: Logitech HERO 16, Optical, 100 – 16,000 DPI, adjustable with steps of 50 - Image processing: 12 megapixels / second. - Maximum acceleration: 40 G - Maximum speed: 400 inches / second - USB Receiver report rate: 125 - 1000 reports / second - Various battery consumption modes: Yes - Buttons: 15 programmable - Weight: 141 grams = 114 grams mouse + 27 grams battery - Left/Right button: OMRON D2FC-F-7N(G) Micro Switch. - WxHxD: 80mm x 45mm x 130mm Build Quality: My previous Logitech mice models lasted for 2 years on average. It is clear that Logitech made a mistake by using low quality hardware components for main buttons in G604, which is the core part of the mouse. I am on my 3rd G604 mouse, because buttons are developing double click issue: 2020-05-28 – 1st mouse. Developed double click issue after 2 months. 2020-07-26 – 2nd mouse. Developed double click issue after 12 months. 2021-09-24 – 3rd mouse. Let’s see how long it will last. I am still using G604 model, because its design is excellent and Logitech comply with 2-Year warranty commitment. G604, when compared with old G700s: Have 2 extra buttons, double DPI, 240% faster tracking speed. Can handle 25% times faster acceleration and weights 11 grams less. Sensor, on the bottom of the mouse, was moved backwards i.e. further from fingertips, but closer to the mouse's centre of gravity. Battery lasts 22 times longer i.e. up to 240 hours of non-stop gaming. Battery access is much easier and can be replaces with one hand. This mouse doesn’t have cable i.e. can’t charge battery inside and includes non-rechargeable AA battery. This means that you have to spend on rechargeable batteries and charger. AA Battery: - Panasonic Eneloop 1900 mAh rechargeable batteries. Fully charged battery, lasts about 36 days in USB receiver mode. I’ve used it daily for work and for gaming during weekends. I am considering switch to Duracel 2500 mAh, which would give me 32% extra time without replacement. Note: You should keep USB receiver closer to your mouse in order to reduce power usage. USB Battery Charger: - Sanyo NC-MDU01 USB charger. Very small charger, which can charge 1 or 2 USB batteries at the time. Charger gives ability to change battery in 2-3 seconds during the game. Note: I’ve tried Panasonic BQ-CC80 USB charger but it has major disadvantages, like inability to charge 1 battery at the time, charging speed is 4 times slower than Sanyo NC-MDU01. Panasonic also twice as large as Sanyo and makes extraction of a battery with one hand a little bit harder due to its design. Another compact alternative is Universal Magnetic USB Battery Charger from Olight on Amazon, but I haven’t tried it. This mouse has all what it needs to make it the best gaming mouse now: Pros: 1. Comfortable ergonomic grip with robust build quality and individually sculpted buttons. 2. Mouse has thumb rest. 3. Good button layout, allowing easy access to main buttons. 4. Grip feels rubberized and smooth. 5. 4-Way (up/down, plus 2 extra side buttons), dual-mode mouse wheel. 6. Extremely responsive (Up to 1000Hz) in wireless mode. 7. Uses a standard AA rechargeable battery. 8. All buttons are fully programmable and can be saved as profiles to on-board memory. You can create even more complex scripts when combined with "Logitech G HUB” software. 9. Ideal for MMORPGs. 10. You can connect mouse to 2nd device or PC via Bluetooth. Cons: 1. Minor: Mouse don’t have cable connection and can’t charge the battery. Good thing that it lasts much longer than G700s model. 2. Minor: No dedicated profile switch button on the bottom of the mouse (like on Razer Mamba). 3. Major: Logitech software like G-HUB and Logitech Options is prime example of incompetence i.e. buggy and irrational navigation. It is like hardware department hired people based on merit and software department is full of beginners who have no clue. Extra mouse buttons and "true gaming mouse": Proper gaming mouse, like HOTAS Joystick, allows you to keep left hand on movement keys (W,A,S,D,SHIFT,SPACE) at all times, while performing most basic FPS functions (shoot, aim down sight, throw grenade, melee attack, crouch, prone, draw side gun, ...). This requires more than 5 mouse buttons. True gaming mouse must have at least same amount of action buttons as a standard gaming controller which is 14 (A, B, C, D, LS, RS, LT, RT, LB, RB, D-PAD Up, D-PAD Right, D-PAD Down, D-PAD Left). Logitech G604, with 15 programmable buttons, comes very close to perfection. Extra buttons are exactly what makes mouse a "gaming mouse", because extra buttons give advantage over other players. Of course, higher DPI, faster pool rate, memory profiles and scripting are important features of a "true gaming mouse" too :). There is a room for improvements and new features: - Top-left side buttons could be higher and more sculpted, which would separate them better from the main Left mouse button and accident clicks of it. - 2 Extra buttons could be added on the top right side. - Analog buttons (sliders) could be added with support of pulse-duration modulation (PDM) key macro, which could turn G604 into a game controller replacement :). HOKAM: For example, I’ve used this sequence very frequently in Battlefield when trying to resurrect friendly: With my left hand: I was running ('SHIFT') forward ('W'), while strafing to left ('A') and right ('D'). At the same time, with my right hand, I selected, charged defibrillators and resurrected friendly ('G7'), dropped medical kit (SCROLL-LEFT) took out main weapon ('G8') or side arm ('G5'), zoomed ('RIGHT-MOUSE') and was shooting ('LEFT-MOUSE') at enemy in order to provide cover for resurrected soldier, then immediately crouched ('G9') or laid down ('G6') into cover myself. With G604 I can do it in a flash with ease, while constantly moving at the same time, because G604 is a real gaming mouse. Any mouse with 5 or less buttons will force you to use keyboard to perform extra actions. It means that in game character will stop moving, which makes you and easier target for the enemy. Mouse with 14 and more buttons can be called HOKAM (Hands on Keyboard-And-Mouse). DPI and muscle memory: It is important to make sure that mouse sensitivity in Windows is the same as in the Game, because it allows you to move windows cursor to a specific location or move in-game target onto the enemy without conscious effort. You must to make sure that mouse movement on the desk mirrors the movement on the screen. In Windows, to enable that: a) Open Control Panel -> Mouse -> [Pointer Options] tab and… c) Uncheck “Enhance pointer precision" in "Motion" group. DPI higher than 6400 is mostly a marketing gimmick, because many games does not support DPI higher than 3200. I prefer low sensitivity settings and use 10.8 inches swipe on the mouse pad to turn 360 degrees in the game. Sensitivity of 1600 DPI is most convenient for me: 1. Most games allow to set 360° Turn = 10.8" 2. With 80° in-game Field on View (FOV) and 1920-pixel wide monitor it allows me to shift in-game world with 1/2-pixel precision exactly. This gives two advantages in FPS games: a) Partly removes "pixel snapping" effect and results in smooth and high quality precision movement when sniping far away targets, which occupies 1-2 pixels on the screen. b) Removes the need to use medium or long-range scopes in FPS games when using high precision weapons, when aiming at far away targets, because "pixel snapping" is no longer screws precision and forces you to miss. In Windows, I have to: a) Open Control Panel -> Mouse -> [Pointer Options] tab and… b) Select a pointer speed, in "Motion" group, at marker 3 (11 markers: from 0 to 10) In game, I have to use mouse-sensitivity .com website to convert distance (10.8") and mouse DPI (1600) into in-game sensitivity value. Button mappings: Windows do not support more than five mouse buttons, so, you have to assign keyboard keys to them in order to use them in games. Mapping Option (Simple) You can assign just most popular keyboard keys (1,2,3,4,Z,C,F,Q,H,G) with "Logitech G Hub" software. Configuration in most FPS games would look and work like this: Main Buttons: G1 – M1 – Fire. G2 – M2 – Aim down sight (ADS). G3 – M3 – Alternative Fire. Thumb Buttons: G4 – 1 – Side weapon. G5 – 2 – Main weapon. G6 – Z – Stealth mode. Prone. Dodge roll if SPACE is jump. G7 – 3 – Close-quarters combat (CQC) weapon. G8 – 4 – Long-range, heavy weapon. G9 – C – Stealth mode. Crouch. Top Buttons: G10 (+) – F – Melee. G11 (-) – Q – Spot / Command Interface. G12 (<) – H – Scroll Left – Use Defensive Item (Med-Kit, Supply Box, …). G13 (>) – G – Scroll Right – Use Offensive Item (i.e. Grenade, C4, …). G14 (^) – Scroll Up – Next Weapon. G15 (v) – Scroll Down – Previous Weapon. Mapping Option (Advanced): This option allows to assign up to 3 different keyboard keys to one mouse button. Such configuration allows you to keep your Hands-on Keyboard-And-Mouse (HOKAM) at all times. First: Assign physically hidden function keys F13-F24 of keyboard, because they are usually free to map in all games: G4=F14… G9=F19… G13=F23. Second: Use "AutoHotKey" open-source app to create combos, which will make one function key to act like 3 keys, depending on how you press it (SINGLE - Single click. DOUBLE: Double click. HOLD: Click and hold for 500ms). Keyboard (Left Hand): AWSD – Move: Left, Forward, Backward, Right SHIFT – Run Mode SPACE – Jump Mouse Buttons (Right Hand): M1 – Fire. M2 – SINGLE HOLD: Aim down sight (ADS). DOUBLE HOLD: Scope. M3 – Alternative fire. Thumb Buttons: G4 – 1/5/9 – Side weapon. SINGLE: Pistol. DOUBLE: Shorty. HOLD: Select Item 1. G5 – 2/6/0 – Main weapon. SINGLE: Assault Rifle. DOUBLE: LMG. HOLD: Select Item 2. G7 – 3/7 – Close-quarters combat weapon. SINGLE: Shotgun. DOUBLE: SMG. G8 – 4/8 – Long-range, heavy weapon. SINGLE: Sniper. DOUBLE: Rocket. G9 – C/P – Stealth mode. SINGLE: Crouch. HOLD: Prone. Top Buttons: G10 (+) – F – Melee. SINGLE: Kick. DOUBLE: Kill. HOLD: Incapacitate. G11 (-) – Q – Command Interface. SINGLE: Spot. DOUBLE: Target. HOLD: Menu. G12 (<) – H – Scroll Left – Use Defence Item (Med-Kit, Supply Box). CLICK: Drop. DOUBLE: Heal. HOLD: Revive. G13 (>) – G – Scroll Right – Use Offence Item (Grenade, C4). SINGLE: Throw. HOLD: Aim. G14 (^) – Scroll Up – Next Weapon. G15 (v) – Scroll Down – Previous Weapon. "AutoHotKey" script example: - Aim with the normal sight when you "mouse-right-click and hold" or aim with sniper scope if you "double-mouse-right-click + hold". - Assign 3 different keys to G4 button: Single Click - 1, Double Click - 5, Hold - 9: ; ------------------------------------------------------------- G4s := "1", G4d := "5", G4h := "9" ; F14 ; ------------------------------------------------------------- #UseHook, On HoldTime := "T0.5" DoubleTime := "T0.2" DblClickTime := DllCall("GetDoubleClickTime", "UInt") ; ------------------------------------------------------------- ; G2 / M2 - Aim. ; SINGLE HOLD: ADS, RDS or Iron. DOUBLE HOLD: Scope. ; ------------------------------------------------------------- RButton:: MouseClick,right,,,,,D If (G2h != "") and (A_TimeSincePriorHotkey < DblClickTime) and (A_TimeSincePriorHotkey <> -1) { MouseClick,right,,,,,U ; Scope / Double Click Send {CTRL down} keywait %A_ThisHotkey% Send {CTRL up} }else{ keywait %A_ThisHotkey% MouseClick,right,,,,,U } Return ; ------------------------------------------------------------- ; G4 / F14 - Side weapons. ; SINGLE: Pistol. DOUBLE: Shorty.

This mouse is almost perfect - Logitech actually managed to improve on the previous generation G604, which was already excellent. The connection to the receiver is strong (I have the dongle plugged into the front of my PC). I've not suffered a single drop-out and the mouse remains responsive at all times. The good bits: + The primary buttons click positively with no excessive travel or missed clicks. + The side buttons are responsive and all accessible with the ball of your thumb. + The precision scroll wheel works well and is not accidentally set off when gaming. + The mouse feet don't suffer from too much friction. + The programmable buttons mean you don't have to redefine your keys in your games; you just leave them and program the mouse. + Per-program profiles are great for productivity, media work and gaming. These can be shortcuts, macros, sensitivity switches. The profiling software, G Hub, really is very useful. The bad bits - The G Hub software is a bit janky. If you alt-tab out of a game, the software quite often does not detect the game in full-screen again. As profiles switch based on the active program, this can be problematic. Ctrl+W closes tabs in Firefox and can be mapped to a button on the G604. If you alt-tab out of, say Battlefield V and into Firefox and back, G Hub doesn't always detect that you've alt-tabbed back. Hitting what you thought was the key to select your rocket launcher (3) will actually trigger Ctrl+W (the same button on the Firefox profile) and close the game. I have a Logitech keyboard with programmable RGB, so I can see when the profile is incorrect, so this isn't a big problem. If you only have the mouse, however, there is no RGB so you can't see which profile is active. - The G Hub workflow to associate games with profiles and to set up your profile actions and assignments isn't very intuitive. - G Hub tries to connect to other apps on your machine, such as Discord, without telling you how to turn it off. - The mouse-wheel left/right buttons are easy to trigger if you use the mouse-wheel-click. For instance, I use wheel-click in games for melee attacks. I can't have the left/right wheel clicks mapped because meleeing might trigger them. - The battery life is good, but not great. Batteries in the original G604 lasted longer than the lifetime of the universe. They only last about 4 months in this iteration when set to gaming mode (1,000Hz report rate).

Writing this review after replacing my G604. I had 2 of these and both lasted a couple of years before the rubbered top layer started to peel off however this wasn't a huge problem for me. For all its features, this mouse is amazing. Quiet clicks, enough buttons for games, free spin scrolling wheel and DPI LED indicator on top! What I didn't like: Sadly as with any of my other Logi mice, the switches start to go. Starting with double clicks and eventually missing clicks, meaning a faulty switch. Unfortunately you cannot use this mouse plugged in for charging the battery as it relies on the usual AA battery (1), also making it a heavy mouse so if you're going to buy the G604 ensure to have a pack of batteries to avoid running out and not being able to charge.. The battery life is amazing though, it will last for ages and even longer if you use it on BT mode. Performance on BT is good as well although 2.4 mode is even better for smooth gaming. Very often I accidentally pressed the right click button and this has become an annoyance with the years. This is a heavy mouse I believe it sits at around 140g with battery. In 2025 I haven't found a decent replacement for it yet. There's the Naga v2 pro but it's not even close as there isn't fully free spin wheel as in their Basilik or the G604 and clicks are super loud. If you can live with that, go for it but beware, it is even more expensive than the G604.

o tenía reservado para el día 27/09 pero al final se retrasó y me llegó hace una semana. Venía de un Logitech G403 con el que estaba encantado, pero le comenzó a fallar el botón central y he tenido que cambiarlo. Probé un Corsair Dark Core RGB SE hace un mes y lo devolví porque no me convenció nada (una pena porque tenía pintaza). El G604 acaba de salir y de él, destacaría positivamente: 13 botones programables con el software de Logitech (6 en el pulgar). Los 6 del pulgar están bien, no es algo exagerado como el Razer Naga que tiene demasiados y le resta practicidad. Excelente autonomía tanto en modo lightspeed (240h) como en modo bluetooth (5,5 meses). Son las cifras que indica el fabricante pero bueno, digamos que le dura mucho la pila. En mi antiguo G403 que ya tenía bastante autonomía (unas 30h) era un poco rollo cargarlo cada 3 días, sobre todo si trabajas y juegas con él. Rueda de scroll con doble modo (normal y rápido) Sensor hero con 16000 dpi (aunque todos los logitech g decentes lo están incorporando) Funciona con una pila AA (incluida) por lo que es fácil sustituirla En el aspecto negativo, no es mucho lo que hay que comentar, pero algo hay: Se nota pesado, son 136 gramos con la pila (135g indica el fabricante). El G403 eran 107 gramos. Los botones G4 y G7 del pulgar no son fáciles de presionar. En parte es normal pues tampoco hay mucho sitio físico donde ponerlos. Los botones + y - del índice, si los programas, tampoco son muy accesibles (por lo pequeños que son). Por defecto aumentan y reducen los DPI. La rueda de scroll en modo normal se nota pesada (es de metal, eso es bueno) y ruidosa. Por lo demás responde muy bien con 1ms, una gozada usarlo con monitor de 240Hz. El cambio entre el modo bluetooth y el lightspeed es prácticamente instantáneo y el botón de cambio está situado arriba con lo cual es muy sencillo usarlo con dos equipos alternando entre lightspeed y bluetooth. La rueda tiene scroll horizontal, son dos botones que se activan al presionar la rueda horizontalmente (también son programables) El apoyo del pulgar y la palma es de goma del mismo color negro que el resto del cuerpo del ratón. En la parte más próxima a la muñeca tiene un compartimento para cambiar la pila y para guardar el receptor usb. Esto último se agradece mucho para transportarlo sin perderlo. El software de logitech, un poco regulín, han cambiado y ya no se usa el logitech gaming software de toda la vida, ahora es otro y le llaman G Hub. No me acaba de convencer el cambio pero bueno, al menos no es tan malo como el de Corsair. Permite hacer macros, cambiar los botones, etc… el tema perfiles no me queda muy claro, pero bueno…supuestamente puedes utilizar perfiles por software que se cambian automáticamente, por ejemplo al lanzar un juego X se activa ese perfil o usar los perfiles integrados de la memoria interna del ratón (tiene 5). El ratón carece de luces y leds. A algunos no os gustará pero a mi esto me encanta. Los leds es lo típico que está muy chulo al principio pero luego cuando ves que te quita horas de autonomía es lo primero que desconectas. Como accesorios sólo trae la pila AA de Duracell y un cable alargador por si no es posible enchufar directamente el receptor USB. Yo la rueda de scroll la tengo puesta a rápida. En este modo no tiene resistencia con lo que se hace scroll casi sin esfuerzo, es ideal para trabajar. El inconveniente que le veo, hasta que me acostumbre, es que es muy sensible y a veces lo muevo sin querer cuando presiono el botón central o muevo rápidamente el ratón. Los botones del pulgar se pueden programar con macros para aumentar la productividad. Es bastante práctico (Ctrl+Z, Ctrl+V, macros complejas…) No es sólo un ratón de “gaming”. Yo desde que me llegó lo uso más para trabajar, la verdad. Comentar que existe la posibilidad de asignar un botón que cambia entre un doble perfil denominado G-Alt, es decir, al presionarlo cambias la programación con lo cual tendrías un número doble de botones. Yo no se lo activé porque me llegan y me sobran con los que tiene. Por último comentar que, como muchos ratones de este estilo, el diseño es para diestros. Los zurdos que conozco que usan este tipo de ratones al final se han acostumbrado a usarlos con la mano derecha con los años... El precio es caro, pero es un ratón top y eso se paga. En fin, espero que me dure lo mismo que otros de la marca que tengo, desde hace más de 20 años (aún tengo operativo el Mouseman Dual Optical y alguno de bola).

Ich benutze seit Jahren diverse verschiedene Logitech Lightspeed Mäuse und Spiele mit denen verschiedenste Genres an Games. Also sind sie eigentlich fast immer unter Dauerbelastung und die ein oder andere Rage im MOBA/FPS Bereichen ausgesetzt. Ich hatte eine G900 Chaos Spectrum, G903, G Pro, G502. Keiner der genannten Mäuse ist so ergonomisch und perfekt passend zu meiner Hand und die Griffart wie die G604. Ich benutze die Maus schon seit Monaten und es ist immer noch die erste Batterie drinne, die mitgeliefert wurde. Ich finde es super, dass man die Batterie einfach austauschen kann wenn die Leer ist ohne dass die an den Stecker muss wie die anderen Mäuse. Die Qualität stimmt wie von Logitech zu erwarten. Was manche kritisieren ist das Drehrad, welches ein bisschen locker ist, das ist bei Logitech Mäusen eher eingebautes Mechanik, damit das Rad frei drehen kann. Der Sensor ist wie der Vorgänger der PWM Sensoren sehr präzise und es gibt kaum spürbaren Inputlag zwischen Bewegung, Klicken, Scrollen etc. Alles in Allem eine sehr gute Maus, die ich wieder kaufen würde, alleine aus dem Grund dass sie sehr effizient mit der Batterie/Akku und sie auch austauschbar ist.

The batteries last a pretty decent time, even if you use cheap ones from Action (Dutch Dollar Stores). It works with its own wireless dongle and via Bluetooth. I have tried it with MacOS and Windows. No issues either. Decent design. Ergonomy could be better for small hands but I can't expect them to design a device for small hands and multiple buttons, I guess. I like the macro abilities, but be warned you might have to edit some files manually depending on what you want to do. Still worth it. Helps me a LOT on my daily routine!

It was great while it worked but started double clicking a mere 3 months after purchase. Really disappointed with Logitech.

After changing clicker few times, my G402 finally died. Love the ergonomics, a slight twist of the wrist, plenty of buttons and a great sensitivity. It has all that I need, plus I'm familiar with the design. On the bad side, the mouse is all plastic. From a longevity standpoint, it is good, but it feels cheaper in hand compared to G402. Additionally, the wheel in restricted mode is very 'cranky'. The turning feedback is very harsh and not pleasant at all. Besides the above I highly recommend this mouse as a daily driver.
