1. Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming M100 RGB Wired Mouse (see pictures of the real item):
Main features:
- 7 programmable buttons;
- A precise 3200 DPI sensor;
- 2-zone 7-color cycling LED backlights, allowing you to customize the function of your mouse to suit each mission.
- fast USB report rate: 1000Hz (1 ms)
- Micro-switches with 10 million click lifecycle (much more durable than other similarly priced mouse).

What makes Logitech G402 gaming mouse special?
The Logitech G402 Hyperion Fury mouse uses proprietary technology that combines specialized hardware components to achieve high performance, setting it apart from a basic office mouse.
1. Hardware Components in the G402:
1) Optical Sensor (Camera/DSP Integrated): The primary sensor is a custom-branded AM010 optical sensor, which is a variation of the PixArt PMW3320. This sensor is specifically engineered for better performance metrics (higher speed and accuracy) than generic, budget sensors.
2) Microcontroller (MCU): The G402 features a powerful onboard 32-bit ARM processor (specifically identified by users as an STM32F102). This dedicated processor is crucial for the mouse's advanced functions.
3) Additional Sensors (The "Fusion Engine"): This is the key difference. The G402 incorporates an extra accelerometer and a gyroscope alongside the main optical sensor.
2. Why These Components Make G402 More Expensive and "Gaming Grade"?
The combination of this hardware, which Logitech calls the "Fusion Engine" technology, is what drives up the cost and performance compared to a simple $20 mouse.
1) Superior Tracking Speed (IPS): A standard optical sensor has a limit on how fast it can accurately track movement before it "spins out" (loses tracking). The G402's optical sensor alone loses tracking around 150-180 IPS (inches per second). The Fusion Engine uses the accelerometer and gyroscope data to supplement the optical sensor's tracking at ultra-high speeds, allowing the mouse to track reliably at speeds over 500 IPS (over 12 meters per second). Budget mice cannot handle such rapid movements with accuracy.
2) Higher Resolution (DPI) and Customization:
The G402 offers a much wider and more precise DPI range (240-4000 DPI) than a budget mouse, with on-the-fly switching. The advanced sensor and DSP allow for this granular control and resolution, whereas a budget mouse might only offer 2-3 fixed, lower-DPI settings.
3) Dedicated 32-bit ARM Processor: The powerful MCU handles complex tasks instantly:
(a) 1ms Report Rate: This ensures that the mouse sends data to the PC every single millisecond (1000 Hz polling rate), minimizing input lag (latency), which is crucial for competitive gaming. Budget mice often have slower polling rates (e.g., 125 Hz or 250 Hz).
(b) Onboard Memory & Macros: The processor stores user-defined button assignments and complex macros directly on the mouse, meaning your settings work on any computer without needing software running. A budget mouse has no memory or programmable buttons.
4) Build Quality & Extra Features: The G402 includes high-quality Omron mechanical switches (rated for 20 million clicks), more programmable buttons (8 in total), and low-friction feet, all of which are absent or low-quality in a $20 mouse.
3. In essence, the G402 is more expensive because it contains multiple sophisticated sensors and a dedicated processor designed to deliver consistent, high-speed, and lag-free performance required by competitive gamers, capabilities a basic mouse simply does not possess.
