As the Coronavirus-led pandemic has increased the sales of Logitech’s gaming equipment, the company is working further to improve its products for its existing customers. So, the company recently announced that it is upgrading the HERO sensor, which powers many of the company’s mice, to make it the “world’s first sub-micron level mouse sensor”.
The Swiss gaming peripheral-makers launched the HERO (High Efficiency Rated Optical) sensor for its gaming mice back in 2016. Since then, the HERO sensor has set a new standard for optical sensors in the industry. And now, the company has changed the sensor’s name to HERO 25K and made it accurate than ever.
However, Logitech states that although sub-micron sensing is “mostly impractical” for the majority of gamers, “it reflects the performance potential of the HERO architecture and sensor performance”.
Now, keep in mind that the upgrade is not coming for all the mice in the company’s product portfolio. It is only compatible with those models that come with the company’s HERO sensor.
So, existing customers with any mouse from the above list can get this upgrade right now, via a software update from the “Logitech G Hub” software.
