Download & Install Logitech Gaming Software

Click here to visit the official Logitech Gaming Software website. If you haven’t already done this step, download the LGS installer. After a few seconds, the download should be completed. Simply double-click the downloaded file and follow the instructions to install the Logitech Gaming Software to your system. After installing the software, make sure to open the application.

Adjust the Mouse Pointer Settings

Select your device. We will select the G403 to change the DPI sensitivity levels in this example. Set one of these as your default DPI sensitivity. As for your polling rate, we suggest setting it to the highest possible. You also have the option to create profiles with different settings. This can be useful when using one profile for gaming and one for productivity, for example.

Lighting Settings

In your lighting settings, you can use different profiles again. Below, enable or disable RGB. We prefer to disable the light on my wireless mouse as it will considerably reduce its battery lifespan. If it’s enabled, use one of the available effects if you want to change the brightness and the rate. You can also sync your lighting settings across your Logitech devices.

Power Consumption

A very interesting tab is this one about your power consumption. You can compare different presets to see for how many hours your device will be usable.
