Logitech announces the G203, a new member of Prodigy series of gaming mice

By Mark Coppock Published January 11, 2017

If you’re a serious PC gamer, then you probably pay more attention than most people to your mouse’s responsiveness. How well it keeps up with your frantic movements and how customizable it is to meet your specific gaming habits are key factors in determining what makes or breaks a mouse in terms of your gaming needs.

Logitech is among the most active companies in terms of making gaming mice that meet most gamers’ requirements of responsiveness and programmability. It recently introduced a new member of its Logitech G Prodigy series of easy-to-use gaming gear that also offers great value, the G203 Prodigy Gaming Mouse.

Logitech’s newest gaming peripheral is inspired by one of the company’s most popular and well-known models, the G100S Gaming Mouse, with the same classic lines and simple build. The G203 takes that same model and re-engineers it with modern versatility, durability, and comfort.

Perhaps the most important specs for a gaming mouse involve its sensor, and the G203 Prodigy utilizes a new 200-6,000 DPI sensor that’s designed in the U.S. and made in Switzerland. The mouse also communicates at up to 1,000 reports per second, fully eight times as fast as the usual mouse, for near-instantaneous responsiveness.

Finally, the G203 Prodigy Gaming Mouse is highly customizable. Specifically, the mouse includes six programmable buttons, up to five levels of DPI sensitivity that can be adjusted on the fly, and LED lighting that provides up to 16.8 million colors and different brightness levels. All of the G203 Prodigy’s features can be fully configured using Logitech’s Gaming Software.

The Logitech G203 Prodigy Gaming Mouse will be available globally in January 2017. U.S. suggested retail pricing will be $49.99, with a price in Europe of about 45 euros.

The Mac Pro nearly received an M3 Extreme chip twice as powerful as M3 Ultra

High production costs likely killed Apple’s M3 Extreme plans

Apple discontinued the Mac Pro earlier this year, ending a 20-year run for a computer that once represented the very best of the company’s desktop lineup. However, Apple reportedly had much bigger plans for the machine before ultimately replacing it with the Mac Studio.

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple developed an M3 Extreme chip that could have offered twice as many CPU and GPU cores as the M3 Ultra. The processor was intended to sit above the Ultra tier and could have finally given the Mac Pro the performance advantage it badly needed. Apple eventually abandoned the chip due to concerns over production costs and limited demand for such an expensive machine.

Hidden prompts can secretly rewrite an AI’s memory, and researchers say that’s a serious problem

Researchers discover AI attack that rewrites an assistant's long-term memory

Large language models are getting better at remembering us. Whether it's your preferred writing style, recurring tasks, shopping habits or project deadlines, AI assistants are increasingly storing long-term memories to make future conversations feel more personal and useful. But according to new research, that same feature could become one of AI's biggest security vulnerabilities.

Researchers from New Mexico State University have demonstrated a new attack called GhostWriter, capable of secretly planting false memories inside AI agents. Rather than stealing information outright, the attack manipulates what an AI remembers, potentially causing it to make dangerous decisions long after the original attack has taken place.

This experiment shows how easy it is to poison an open-weight AI model for under $100

This research raises new doubts about trusting open weight AI models.

Computer, Electronics, Laptop

Open-weight AI models have been having a moment lately. Just this month, Moonshot's massive Kimi K3 model landed close behind Claude Fable 5 and GPT 5.6 Sol in several benchmarks, all while remaining fully open-weight and downloadable by anyone.

However, Katie Paxton-Fear, a cybersecurity lecturer at Manchester Metropolitan University and staff security advocate at Semgrep, managed to poison an open-weight model and proved how easily that openness can be turned against you (via The Register).
