Lenovo’s new Legion gaming mice are simple yet affordable

Add as a preferred source on Google

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.

AI’s chip hunger could keep memory prices painfully high for years
Memory shortages may haunt your next phone, laptop, and GPU for years
Crucial Memory and SSD

While recent reports claimed that memory prices may not fall till 2027, it seems like the memory chip crunch isn't a short-term headache. And that's bad news for anyone hoping phone, laptop, and GPU prices will get cheaper again soon.

Reuters reports that SK Group chairman Chey Tae-won said the global chip wafer shortage is likely to last until 2030, with artificial intelligence demand continuing to outpace the supply. Chey said the current shortage could remain above 20%, largely because AI systems require huge amounts of high-bandwidth memory and therefore burn through a lot of wafers.

One of the most controversial US agencies is reportedly taste-testing Anthropic uber-powerful Mythos AI
The agency's reported use of Mythos highlights a widening split inside the US government over AI risk

The US government's AI fight just got harder to square. The National Security Agency is reportedly using Anthropic's Mythos Preview even as senior Pentagon officials keep pushing to cut the company off over supply chain concerns. It shows how quickly real security needs can outrun official policy.

Since February, the Defense Department has been trying to block Anthropic and push vendors to do the same. Yet, according to an Axios report, the NSA appears to be moving ahead with one of the company's most powerful models anyway, suggesting cybersecurity demand is carrying more weight than the feud now playing out inside government.
