e’ve reviewed the Logitech G Pro
Wireless before and found it to be
a sensational mouse. Light,
comfortable, feature-rich and yet wireless:
it has every possible aspect going for it.
However,howdoesit stackupagainstthese

shapefitsa fingertipgripplayingstyleperfectly.

The finish of the mouse is plain matt black,

which can get a little slippery on particularly

dry days, but otherwise feels very pleasantto

hold. The balance of the mouse is also great.

Sadly, you can’t say the same about the

styling.Althoughthisisa subjectivearea,to

entirely feel as feature-packed as you’d

expect for that price.

Then there’s the problem that caused us to

drop this mouse from our Elite List a couple

of months back: the double-clicking button

problem. Click the left button (it sometimes

affects other buttons too but is most

noticeable with the left button) and it will

sometimes trigger twice. There still doesn’t

seem to be a consensus on whether the

issue is down to hardware or software, and it

doesn’t seem to effect every user, but it’s

common enough that many people won’t

want to take the risk dropping £130 on it.

VERDICT

An incredibly lightweight design for a wireless

mouse, but reliability issues and a high price

dent its appeal.
