Operating the Mouse
Power Modes and Connectivity Switching
The G603 features a power mode switch on its underside:
- HI (LIGHTSPEED): This mode provides the fastest 1ms report rate for optimal gaming performance.

To switch between LIGHTSPEED and Bluetooth connections while the mouse is on, press the dedicated connectivity toggle button located near the DPI cycle button on the top of the mouse. The LED indicator will change color to confirm the active connection (blue for LIGHTSPEED, cyan for Bluetooth).
DPI Sensitivity Adjustment

The LED indicator will briefly flash to indicate the current DPI setting. Default DPI settings can be customized using the Logitech G HUB software.
Programmable Buttons
The Logitech G603 features 6 programmable buttons: left click, right click, scroll wheel click, two side buttons, and the DPI cycle button. These buttons can be customized using the Logitech G HUB software to assign macros, keybinds, or other functions.
