Logitech’s series of mice are already some of our favorite peripherals for both gaming, general office productivity tasks, and creative applications, and now there are 25,600 more reasons to get excited about the company’s humble mouse.
Thanks to a software update on its custom Hero sensor, the Logitech G903 Hero, G502 Lightspeed, Pro Wireless, G703 Hero, G604, G502 Hero, G403 Hero, and Pro mice are all able to improve tracking from 16,000 DPI to a whopping 25,600 DPI.
Now dubbed the Hero 25K sensor, Logitech boasts that these mice now come with the world’s first sub-micron-level mouse sensor.
“Hero 25K is the first sensor that can accurately track movement at the sub-micron level — 1 micron = 1 millionth of a meter, or 0.000001m,” the company said in a prepared statement. “Without compromising on accuracy, this new sensor does this without the use of smoothing and without spurious motion, parasitic counts, making this one of the most accurate sensors on the market.”
For comparison, some of the top gaming mice on the market track at just 20,000 DPI, including the Razer Basilisk Ultimate, which is still short of the accuracy level of the Hero 25K sensor.
Though tracking is improved by 60%, Logitech claimed that battery life won’t be affected due to the implementation of smart power management algorithms that adjust frame rates continuously depending on mouse movement to minimize power draw.
This results in 10 times greater power efficiency, according to Logitech, even when the mouse is used at high DPIs thanks to integrations with a micro control unit, or MCU. Unlike other sensors, the Hero sensor uses a continuously variable frame rate to deliver the best performance regardless of mouse speed or acceleration.
In addition to faster, more accurate tracking, the company stated that Hero’s underlying architecture helps it handles different surfaces better. For business travelers or laptop gamers who don’t always want to carry a mouse pad everywhere, improved surface tracking could make Logitech’s mice more usable and appealing.
In a published white paper, Logitech boasted that its custom Hero sensor comes with a 98% accuracy.
“Hero can improve the experience of any kind of mouse and any kind of usage due to the capability to adapt and always provide best-suited settings,” the company stated.
The software is available today through Logitech’s G HUB.
Touchscreen laptops have been around for years. You can get them in all sizes and shapes. Just not from Apple. For years, the Cupertino giant has treated the idea of a touchscreen MacBook the way I treat a meeting that could have been an email: with open contempt. However, Wednesday looks like the day the company could finally change its mind.
The latest Apple invite puts the “Pro and Tell” showcase in Los Angeles at 10 a.m. PT (1 p.m. ET) on October 28, 2026. Instead of a regular live-streamed keynote, it is an invitation-only, hands-on event for a handful of press and creators (similar to what the company did for the MacBook Neo earlier this year).
Two residents of Chicago have filed a lawsuit in the US over claims that robots run by Coco Robotics and Serve Robotics captured their facial and hand measurements without consent, bringing renewed attention to the food delivery robots. The cases raise a troubling question: If a robot delivers food to your door, can it also be gathering sensitive information about you?
According to a report by The Associated Press, the proposed class-action lawsuits were filed in Cook County on Oct. 9 and allege violations of Illinois’ Biometric Information Privacy Act. The complaints claim that the robots’ cameras and LiDAR sensors captured information on customers’ faces and hands as they approached the machines to pick up their orders. Both have denied the allegations.
Nearly a month after announcing the GPT-6.1 Sol model, OpenAI unveiled GPT-6.1 Terra today. The latest addition to the family focuses on computer use, visual reasoning, coding, and professional work, while costing 50% less through the API than GPT-5.6 Terra.
OpenAI says Terra can handle everything from filling out browser forms and working inside spreadsheets to interpreting technical drawings and editing videos. The company says it can also complete computer-based tasks more than three times faster than GPT-6 Astra and GPT-6.1 Sol.
