Compare Logitech G102 Lightsync and G102 Prodigy
When comparing the mice Logitech G102 Lightsync and Logitech G102 Prodigy, it can be noted that both models share similar features, such as an optical sensor with up to 8000 DPI resolution, 5 buttons, and RGB lighting. However, the G102 Lightsync offers enhanced lighting and programmable buttons, making it more appealing to gamers. While the G102 Prodigy also delivers good performance, it may be less flexible in customization. Users note that both mice are comfortable to use, but the G102 Lightsync might have minor issues with the DPI switch button, whereas the G102 Prodigy is more reliable in this regard.

Glossary
Sensor
The model of the sensor installed in the mouse. This information is indicated mainly for models equipped with high-end sensors, which are significantly superior in their capabilities to simpler solutions. Such characteristics are important primarily for gaming mice, so most of the devices for which the sensor model is specified belong to this category.
Knowing the name, you can find detailed data on the sensor and evaluate its capabilities. Note that one of the most popular brands nowadays, under which advanced sensors are produced, is PixArt ; on the market are often found, in particular, sensors PixArt 3212, PixArt 3325, PixArt 3327, PixArt 3335, PixArt 3360, PixArt 3389, PixArt 3395, PixArt 3950.

Switch type
The type of switches in a mouse indicates the mechanism used under the main buttons to register a click. It affects the feel when pressing, actuation speed, lifespan, and resistance to accidental double clicks.
— Optical. Button mechanisms where the press is registered not by closing metal contacts but by interrupting a light beam. This makes them faster, less prone to wear, and almost unaffected by accidental double-click issues.
These switches are especially valued in gaming mice, where response speed and stability after a large number of clicks are crucial. For example, in shooters or MOBA games, they help achieve clear feedback without delay and contact bouncing.
— Mechanical. Classic button mechanisms where a click is registered due to the closing of metal contacts. They provide a familiar tactile feel, a well-audible click, and are widely used in both office and gaming models.
Compared to optical switches, mechanical ones are usually simpler and cheaper, but over time the contacts may wear out. For example, with active gaming or daily work, after a few years, a double click might occur instead of a single press.

Switches
The switches in a mouse indicate which specific switches are installed under the main buttons, such as Omron, Huano, Kailh, TTC, or proprietary solutions from the manufacturer. These determine the click characteristics, actuation force, click volume, lifespan, and the likelihood of double-clicking over time.
Unlike the general switch type, which refers to the working principle—mechanical or optical—the brand and model provide a more precise understanding of the performance level. For example, two mice with mechanical switches might feel different when clicked: some may be softer and quieter, while others could be stiffer, louder, and feel more "gaming-like."

Switch resource
The durability of mouse switches is measured by the number of clicks the keys can withstand before they begin to show signs of wear or malfunction. Switches can have a lifespan of several million to tens of millions of clicks. In laboratory conditions, this parameter is checked using special testing machines, which diligently press the keys the required number of times, on the basis of which a verdict is made regarding the approximate service life of the switches.
Lighting effects
The mouse has additional lighting effects. For more information about the backlight itself, see above, and its effects can be different — ranging from a smooth change in brightness and/or colour to colour and light signals, as well as backlight synchronization(for models with synchronization, this paragraph indicates the supported synchronization technology).
The last function is worth dwelling on separately. Synchronization itself allows you to "match" the mouse backlight with the backlight of other system components — the case, graphics card, keyboard, monitor, etc. Thanks to this matching, you can create various unusual effects: synchronous colour and brightness changes, "colour waves", "running lights" etc. However, for such work, all components of the system must support the same synchronization technology — and such a technology, usually, each manufacturer has its own. So before buying it's ok to check compatibility. However, some mice are able to work with several options at once — for example, iCUE from Corsair and MLS (Mystic Light Sync) from MSI.
