'ZDNET Recommends': What exactly does it mean?
ZDNET's recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing.
When you click through from our site to a retailer and buy a product or service, we may earn affiliate commissions. This helps support our work, but does not affect what we cover or how, and it does not affect the price you pay. Neither ZDNET nor the author are compensated for these independent reviews. Indeed, we follow strict guidelines that ensure our editorial content is never influenced by advertisers.
ZDNET's editorial team writes on behalf of you, our reader. Our goal is to deliver the most accurate information and the most knowledgeable advice possible in order to help you make smarter buying decisions on tech gear and a wide array of products and services. Our editors thoroughly review and fact-check every article to ensure that our content meets the highest standards. If we have made an error or published misleading information, we will correct or clarify the article. If you see inaccuracies in our content, please report the mistake via this form.
Save $50: Click yes on 50% off the Logitech G604 wireless optical gaming mouse
If you're looking for a last-minute gift for the gamer in your family this holiday season, you're in luck. Right now, the Logitech G604 Lightspeed wireless optical gaming mouse just dropped from $100 to only $50 during Best Buy's Last Minute holiday sale.
Featuring 15 programmable controls including six thumb buttons, you can program every button to cater to your needs. The Hero 25K DPI sensor allows for extremely precise control for those sniping moments or detailed design projects. This accuracy also stems from the Lightspeed wireless technology operating at a 1ms response time, too.

Underneath the mouse, you'll find Optical technology that uses LED lights to scan the surface underneath the mouse for that response time. Because it's an adjustable DPI, you can also expect its compatibility for not only gaming, but also for everyday computer tasks.
It's compatible with Microsoft and Mac computers, as well as offers dual connectivity for Bluetooth and a 2.4GHz wireless network. It runs off of a sole AA battery that will last up to 240 hours, or 5.5 months in Bluetooth mode. It's also perfect for the eco-friendly gamer too, offering certification in carbon neutrality down to the packaging.
