Logitech on Wednesday announced the G402 Hyperion Fury Ultra-Fast FPS gaming mouse, a pointer that the company claims is the fastest mouse on the planet with tracking speeds of more than 500 inches per second.

In a press release on the matter, Logitech points out that a common complaint among gamers is their mice can't track as fast as they move. This new pointer should solve that issue, we're told.

The Hyperion Fury is the result of three years of intense research and development according to Ehtisham Rabbani, general manager of the Logitech gaming business. The device owes its speedy tracking capabilities to the onboard 32-bit ARM processor and Delta Zero sensor technology but there's more to this gaming rodent than sheer speed.

This FPS-minded mouse features eight fully programmable buttons with 1ms report rates and on-the-fly DPI switching between four different settings. Each button can support a single keystroke or complex macros through Logitech's gaming software. Configurations are saved onboard the mouse so they'll travel with you should you move to a new system.

While no mention of it was made in the press release, it's clear based on photos that the mouse also features LED lighting of some sort.

The Logitech G402 Hyperion Fury is slated for an August release in Europe and the US with Logitech accepting pre-orders as of writing. Expect to pay $59.99 for the opportunity.

I paid $90 for my Kone XTD. 500/ips sounds like something that could get out of hand like these mice with crazy high max DPI support.

Ah, a look at the G:

Logitech just doesn't make mouses that interest me anymore. It's a shame because my G5 broke last weekend and I was forced to switch to my back up SteelSeries Diablo III mouse.
 
I guess you also take your virus with you. hahahaha.

When hackers figure out how to load virus instead of settings on the mouse and I don't know own your mouse so you can miss things during game. I just love dip switch instead of software. Old school is best hahahaha.

Yep that's going to happen.
 
with tracking speeds of more than 500 inches per second
That really means nothing without a defined DPI.

Besides what is the point in having a mouse that will track faster than the monitor refresh rate? I can't help but think this is a pointless sales pitch.

and who's to say it will play happily every game anyway - both my Logitech G5, and to a lesser extent, RAT7 have had issues with update rates in certain games
 
It's supposed to be primarily a FPS mouse yet it's covered head to toe in macro buttons and has a skinny smooth scroll wheel?... Looks to me they've missed the goalposts a tad here.
Back in the day Logitech mice were the 'go to' mice now it looks and sounds like they're getting desperate. There are a gazillion great mice out there and Logitech has lost it's lustre.
That said the price looks fair but I'll stick with what I'm happy with.
