Lenovo’s new Legion gaming mice are simple yet affordable

By Myles Goldman January 5, 2022

At CES 2022, Lenovo announced two new gaming mice alongside its range of other announcements — the Legion M600s Wireless and the Legion M300s RGB.

The two mice look almost identical, sporting a more modern design and a light-up Legion logo. The wireless model only comes in reflective silver color, while the wired model is a choice of black or white. They’re simple, but still, quite an improvement over the previous Legion mice.

The Legion M600s Wireless features the Pixart 3370 sensor, capable of delivering 19,000 DPI and a lift-off (LOD) of 1mm. It also features a 380mAh battery, providing up to 70 hours of use, and can be connected via Bluetooth, via USB Type-C or 2.4GHz by using the included dongle.

Lenovo’s top-tier mouse weighs in at 71 grams and should glide easily thanks to its 100% PTFE mouse feet.

According to Lenovo, this mouse is aimed towards claw and finger-tip gamers due to its short, low arch and slim waist, so palm-grip gamers may not be as keen on trying this mouse.

Just under the M600s is the M300s, which reaches 8,000 DPI thanks to the Optical Pixart 3327 sensor. It weighs even less at just 61 grams, making the M300s much lighter than the M600s. It still features the 100% PTFE mouse feet, but a shorter lifespan with switches that support up to 10 million clicks. Like the bigger brother, this mouse is aimed towards claw grip and finger-tip gamers.

It should be noted that even though the M600s seem to be the higher end of the two, it does not include RGB and is 10 grams heavier than the more affordable M300s.

Both mice are set for release in May; the M600s is available in silver and will retail for $85. The M300s is significantly more affordable at $30 and comes in both black and white.

Lenovo is performing its annual update to its Legion laptops and desktops at CES 2023, but this year is different. The new Lenovo Legion Pro 7 and Legion Pro 5 (along with their Intel variants) include a dedicated AI chip that Lenovo says performs "graphical wizardry."

The chip in question is Lenovo's LA AI processor, which it claims is the world's first dedicated AI processor in a gaming laptop. Combined with the Lenovo AI Engine+ software, the chip leverages machine learning to tune system performance in real time.

Gaming laptops have seen a resurgence over the last few years as brands like Lenovo attempt to cram powerful hardware into a light and portable chassis. The Legion Slim 7i is an evolution of this segment with optimized cooling, a wonderful keyboard, and multiple charging options - even if most of the changes seem like they're simply on a component level.

I had the chance to get my hands on a unit prior to release, and Lenovo has delivered on the promise of a thin and light gaming laptop with high-end hardware. The machine marks Lenovo's return to Intel for its Legion Slim range, as well as a showcase for AMD's new Ryzen 6000 CPUs.

Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 hands-on review: Gaming on the cheap

Lenovo is sprinkling its entry-level gaming systems with design and functions typically reserved for its premium Legion brand laptops. The IdeaPad Gaming 3 and 3i laptops will be available in AMD and Intel Core processor configurations respectively and 15-and 16-inch displays options but will get a real taste of Lenovo's high-end gaming features for the first time.

The biggest upgrades on the IdeaPad Gaming 3 are the major ports are set up at the rear of the system. This is a direct trickle-down feature from the Legion brand design to the entry-level laptops. These models also include USB ports on either side for functions such as mouse peripherals or USB sticks, which users can plugin quickly. In comparison, the previous IdeaPad Gaming 3 generation featured all of its ports on its sides.
