Laser sensors: A controlling interest
Sensing the details
What does a mouse do? Fundamentally, it allows you to control your cursor. And the best measure of cursor control is the accuracy with which the mouse translates the movements you make with your hand.
How precise is your mouse? Logitech mice use advanced sensors to make sure that whether you’re clicking links, dragging text, or opening new apps—that whatever you’re doing—your computing experience is seamless.
We achieve precision by designing miniature sensors. These sensors take lots of little pictures of the surface below the mouse, interpret those pictures, and translate the movement your hand makes into movement on your screen.
Sensitive to your needs
Some people just need a mouse that works. Others need a mouse that can track on many surfaces. And gamers need a mouse that can give them game-changing precision at any hand speed.
Details, details
There are two kinds of sensors: optical and laser.
Mice with optical sensors track the surfaces beneath them using the available light and an LED lamp.
In 2004, Logitech introduced the first mouse with laser tracking. Laser sensors, compared to optical, produce far more illumination—both of the surface and of the contrast created by, literally, specs of dust on the surface—revealing a wealth of details even on glossy surfaces like highly polished wood. And that means your mouse can track motion precisely on many surfaces, without lags or jitter.
Glass. The final frontier.
Logitech mice that are built with Logitech® Darkfield Laser Tracking™ use the smallest possible details to create a micro-road map of the surface. That means these mice can track on glass.*

Gaming-grade control
If you’re an expert gamer, pixel-perfect tracking can mean the difference between victory and defeat. Our mice with gaming-grade laser sensors can track at speeds all the way up to 5000 dpi. So when the game is on the line, you’ll get maximum precision, blinding speed, and ultra-smooth tracking.
Track tested
We rigorously test all of our laser mice on a wide variety of surfaces to make sure your mouse is free of tracking flaws.
* Mice with Logitech® Darkfield Laser Technology cannot track on glass that is 4 mm thick or less, which is not much larger than the head of a pin.
Mice you can get comfortable with
It all adds up
Do you spend a lot of time with your mouse? Repeating the same hand and arm movements over and over again hundreds, if not thousands, of times a day? Even the littlest difference in design can make a big difference in your comfort.
Logitech mice have all sorts of features that help increase your comfort and help reduce the amount of movement, effort, and strain needed to get around your computer.
A natural fit
If your hand had a choice in the matter, it would naturally take the angle of a handshake when your arm is bent.
We figured nature might be on to something and created mice that are sculpted and sloped to let your hand take a more comfortable, handshake-like position. And that means your hand can relax.
A better grip
You lift and move your mouse again and again, all day long. If it’s hard to hold, it’s going to put a little extra strain on your hand. But don’t worry—we added non-slip rubber grips to many of our mice to increase friction and make it easier for you to hold and grab your mouse without squeezing.
All about angles
Extending your wrists and flexing your fingers for hours may not feel so good. That’s why we make low-profile mice that reduce the angle you need to extend your wrist. And we carefully place controls so that most hands can use them without flexing fingers more than 45 degrees.
Navigating to comfort
Comfort features aren’t the only ones that help your hand out. If you can get where you want to go faster, your hand does less work. Less work equals more comfort.
Hyper-fast scrolling lets you fly through 10,000 lines of a spreadsheet with a single spin of the nearly frictionless wheel—something that would take 1,000 spins and seven minutes to do with a traditional scroll wheel. In the long run, that’s a whole lot less work that your finger has to do.
Want more time-saving controls that can save your hand, too? Side-to-side scrolling plus zoom, application switching, and Forward and Backward buttons all help you do more things with less effort.
Smooth moves
Is your mouse fighting your moves? We’ve got mice with slick, low-resistance feet that allow them to glide more smoothly than your average mouse. When your mouse resists less, you don’t need to work as hard.
The easy track
You can even choose a mouse that doesn’t make you move very much at all. A trackball mouse stays in one place—you just move the ball with your finger or thumb. Plus, customizable buttons help you do more, more easily.
Powering your mouse
The power of convenience
For you, having a wireless mouse is all about convenience. Any time you need new batteries it’s a hassle.
That’s why we’re hard at work figuring out ways to extend the battery life of every mouse we sell. And it’s why we make some mice that let you go more than a year without changing the batteries. Because we happen to think that fewer batteries are better for you. (And better for the planet, too.)
On and on and on
The longer your battery life, the less hassle you face. No lugging around batteries when you’re on the go. No wasting time and money on frequent changes.
Pick a mouse with batteries that last a year, 15 months, 18 months—or even three years—and you might just forget it runs on batteries at all.
Charge, not change
Don’t want to deal with changing batteries at all? We’ve got rechargeable mice, too. You just place your mouse in its recharging stand or plug in the USB cord when you’re done using it, and you’ll always be ready to go.
Bells and whistles
Mice that turn off automatically. Buttons that help you conserve battery life. Battery indicator-lights.
Many Logitech wireless mice are designed to help your batteries last longer. By automatically putting your mouse to sleep when you aren’t using it. By offering On/Off buttons that let you manually turn off your mouse. With battery indicator-lights that help prevent surprises—so you know you can count on your mouse when you need it most.
Some mice combine auto off, On/Off buttons, and battery indicator-lights.
Logitech® Darkfield Laser Tracking™
You work and play all over the place—and that means you’re going to encounter all sorts of work surfaces. A glass desk or shiny table shouldn’t stand in your way.
That’s why we created Logitech® Darkfield Laser Tracking™, featured in the Logitech® Anywhere Mouse MX™ and the Logitech® Performance Mouse MX™.
Darkfield tracks on surfaces like clear glass* and lacquered desks that stump optical mice and standard laser mice. So now your mouse works wherever you do.
It’s all in the details.
Optical and traditional laser mice use irregularities in the surface to track the direction and speed of your mouse. The more irregularities on a surface, the easier it is for the sensor to track your movements.
But use your mouse on a smooth, glossy surface like clear glass, and there just aren’t enough imperfections for your standard mouse to work. This is where Darkfield Laser Tracking comes in. Darkfield uses the smallest possible details to create a micro-road map of the surface—so you get better precision on more surfaces.
Can this mouse do everything?
Just about. Keep in mind, however, that we haven’t designed the first two mice with Darkfield Laser Tracking for gamers or for those working on laboratory-grade clean glass.
If you’re making lighting-fast maneuvers and need gaming-grade cursor speed, take a look at the Logitech® G9x Laser Mouse.
And if you’re working on exceptionally clean glass, you may have to wait until the dust settles. For surfaces with fewer than 44 microscopic details (per square millimeter) that are less than 5 µm wide and 1.5 µm thick—to give some context, a strand of human hair is about 100 µm wide—you may want to swipe your hand across the surface before using your mouse.
But for everyone else, Darkfield Laser Tracking gives you precise cursor control on virtually any surface—even glass.
*At least 4 mm thick.
