It’s a stark contrast against other popular gaming mice like the Razer Naga, which boasts 12 buttons and a more unconventional shape.
Logitech employs a classic design for the G403 that feels natural and familiar, with a slightly tapered grip where your thumb and ring finger rest on the mouse, it glides across most surfaces with ease. Gaming mice are often defined by their exotic shapes, but the Prodigy line takes things back to basics. The G403 is the centerpiece of this outreach effort, but can Logitech reach such a broad audience with a single product line? Stylish and understated By reducing the number of buttons and evoking a classic design, the venerable peripheral company hopes to attract the elusive casual crowd without sacrificing their hardcore gaming pedigree. Again, as long as the “Animations” and “Contrastic” options are selected, my G513 keyboard will continue to display my custom effect.The G403 is a part of the new Prodigy line from Logitech, reportedly engineered to make high-end gaming gear more approachable.
Looking at the left sidebar, I’m going to select and automatically paint 85 of the G513’s keys in hot pink.For this demonstration, I’m only editing the first couple of frames, so I’ve selected the first frame seen in the slider. Frames in the “Contrastic” effect include different groups of colors that appear as the animation is displayed on a loop. For my version of “Contrastic,” I’m going to select the first frame from the slider, seen underneath the live visual representation of the G513 keyboard.Now click on the small window icon to display a pop-up that allows you to control the animated effect. Instead of clicking the “Contrastic” effect, move your cursor to the right of the effect’s name. This next part is a bit tricky because it’s easy to miss the button.For this how-to, I’m picking “Contrastic” because of its slow but satisfying juxtaposition of colors and preset frames that covers most of the G513’s keys. Select one of the preset effects from the “Effect” drop-down. What if you wanted to create an animated LightSync effect instead? Just select the “Animations” tab to get started.There’s no need to save your preset as long as you have an effect selected from the “Effect” drop-down and keep the LightSync tab on the “FreeStyle” option, it’ll stay intact. You should see the changes reflected in real time.You can try to do the same, or select your own color and group of keys. In this case, I’ve selected the “WASD” keys, which are usually reserved for character movement. In this example, I’ve chosen a dark blue, and I will then click on the “Fill A Group” button, allowing me to select a group of keys instead of manually “painting” each one. Next, use “Color Brush” to select a color from the color picker you can also enter your own HTML hex color code.Click on “Freestyle” instead of “Animations” for a static effect. Let’s say that we don’t want to start off with an animated keyboard effect.
Using the G513 keyboard, I’m going to show you how I created my own simple effect that highlights some of the keys I use in-game.You can also control the cycle process by clicking on the “Cycle” drop-down and selecting “Reverse Cycle,” “Cycle,” “Bounce,” or “Random.” A speed slider sitting right below the keyboard visual on the app allows you to control the speed of the given effect in milliseconds.A few examples include: “Contrastic” for alternating colors between zones “Verticool,” which blends warm and cold colors vertically and “Ocean Wave,” which uses blue and brown / white keys to initiate tides crashing on a sandy beach. From here, you’ll see an “Effect” drop-down that includes several preset effects. If you want an animated LightSync effect, navigate to and click on the “Animations” tab.You can also select and save different effects by clicking and using the “Effect” drop-down menu. From the “LightSync” tab, select “Freestyle.” You’ll see options in the sidebar that allow you to use the “Color Brush” to digitally paint over specific keys, “Quick Color” options that automatically highlight the WASD keys, number key row, function key row, modifier keys, and the arrow keys.
