Logitech announced the industry’s first 25K DPI gaming sensor, the Logitech G HERO 25K. Available today, through a software update from G HUB, this upgrade raises the upper limit of our HERO 16K sensor from 16,000 DPI to 25,600 DPI, establishing it as the highest performing DPI sensor in the gaming industry. At 25,600 DPI, the HERO 25K sensor is the world’s first sub-micron level mouse sensor. While sub-micron is mostly impractical for many players to use, it reflects the performance potential of the HERO architecture and sensor performance.
FAQ:
What is the HERO 25K sensor?
The High Efficiency Rated Optical (HERO) 25K sensor is our next-generation sensor that delivers industry-leading performance and efficiency without compromise. HERO 25K is the most accurate and highest performing sensor ever designed and uses 10x less power than previous designs. The HERO 25K optical sensor can track at over 400 inches per second with sensitivity up to 25,600 DPI. And it features zero smoothing, filtering or pixel rounding, so it’s amazingly responsive and precise.
Why did you develop the HERO 25K sensor?
We are constantly pushing the boundaries of gaming through design and technology innovation. The HERO 25K sensor is the latest iteration of the HERO architecture and represents the most advanced gaming sensor ever designed.
What does the HERO 25K deliver that other sensor dont?
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. 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. While sub-micron is mostly impractical for most players to use, it reflects the performance potential of the HERO architecture and sensor performance.
Does the HERO 25K consume more power?
HERO 25K utilizes a smart power management system to continuously adjust frame rates based on the movement of the mouse to minimize power consumption. Even at high DPI, HERO is 10x more power efficient than previous Logitech G sensors.
Why did Logitech G decide to update the HERO 16K Sensor to 25K?
Our goal is to build the best gear for gamers, and sometimes that means upgrading fan favourites with our state-of-the-art technologies. HERO improves the experience of any kind of mouse and any kind of usage due to the capability to adapt and always provide best suited settings.
What does the future lineup of Logitech’s sensor technology look like? What can we expect to see moving forward?
We don’t comment on future product roadmap.
