![]() ![]() G603 & G613 | Image Credit: shazbyshaz / Vulcan Post Speaking of batteries, they too are using traditionally AA batteries inside, so you can swop them out if your peripherals run out of juice. That’s because both do not feature RGB lighting, presumably to extend battery life. It is aesthetically similar to the G613 mechanical keyboard (S$159) with a grey-black colour scheme, and both are clearly for the no-frills user and gamer. The most affordable of the bunch is the G603 (S$109). It Can Get Rather Expensive Meet the Lightspeed family | Image Credit: shazbyshaz / Vulcan Post So I recommend you to it out at a local store to see if it suits you. G613 | Image Credit: shazbyshaz / Vulcan Postįor me at least, I felt that the way the switches bottom out when actuating the keys is different as compared to traditional Cherry MX switches in most popular mechanical keyboards. Probably the only nitpick I have on my part is that I don’t quite like Logitech’s Romer-G switches in the keyboard. Playing my usual MOBA game, Heroes of the Storm, I feel no difference with each keystroke and mouse click. Unfortunately you cannot pair the keyboard to the PowerPlay mousepad. G613 | Image Credit: shazbyshaz / Vulcan Postīy this time, I’ve already armed myself with the G613 mechanical keyboard as well which features the same Lightspeed tech. I’m proud to say that it works very, very well. Without going into all the nitty gritty technical details, what Lightspeed essentially does is to let you use your gaming peripherals wirelessly with minimal latency, as if you are wired in, through either the included USB receivers or the PowerPlay mousepad for only the G703 and G903. Wireless charging woes aside, the true star for Logitech’s line of wireless peripherals is Lightspeed. Playing Games At Lightspeed G703 | Image Credit: shazbyshaz / Vulcan Post Whichever charging method you choose, you can still use the mouse while charging. Using the included micro USB cable for your charging needs is definitely faster, and you can get a full charge in under 2 hours if the mouse is dead. I had to leave it overnight to get a full charge from 20-30% battery. G703 on PowerPlay | Image Credit: shazbyshaz / Vulcan PostĪnd it charges very, very slowly on the mousepad. For some people, you might want to use that same mouse away from the desk, with your laptop for example, after which you will definitely need to charge it. The tricky part comes when your mouse actually run out of juice. This saves you a USB port, as your PowerPlay mousepad acts as both a charger and receiver for your mouse. G703 on PowerPlay | Image Credit: shazbyshaz / Vulcan Post While both mouse do come with their own USB receivers, you do not have to plug those in if you pair one of the mouse to the mousepad. What this means for the user is that your mouse may potentially never die, as long as your PowerPlay mousepad is plugged in.īetter yet, the mousepad is all that you need to plug into your computer’s USB port. The Logitech PowerPlay wireless charging system places a charging coil in the mousepad itself, which in turn charges the built-in battery in the G703 and G903. G903 & G703 on PowerPlay | Image Credit: shazbyshaz / Vulcan Post This year’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas saw several gaming peripheral companies showing off their latest wireless charging mouse and mousepad combo, but Logitech already has those in the market for nearly a year. So, when Logitech sent over their Lightspeed peripherals, it gave me a chance to declutter a bit. ![]() Aside from cables coming from my PC, monitor, and speakers, I also have USB cables running from my tower that connects my mechanical keyboard, mouse, and mousepad (yes I’m one of those people with an RGB lit mousepad) Right now on my table at home, it’s a mess. I have been trying to eliminate cables and wires from my desk for the longest time, and Logitech might just offer the solution to do that.
