G203 Prodigy Gaming Mouse

If you’re a serious PC gamer, then you probably pay more attention than most people to your mouse’s responsiveness. How well it keeps up with your frantic movements and how customizable it is to meet your specific gaming habits are key factors in determining what makes or breaks a mouse in terms of your gaming needs.

Logitech is among the most active companies in terms of making gaming mice that meet most gamers’ requirements of responsiveness and programmability. It recently introduced a new member of its Logitech G Prodigy series of easy-to-use gaming gear that also offers great value, the G203 Prodigy Gaming Mouse.

Logitech’s newest gaming peripheral is inspired by one of the company’s most popular and well-known models, the G100S Gaming Mouse, with the same classic lines and simple build. The G203 takes that same model and re-engineers it with modern versatility, durability, and comfort.

Perhaps the most important specs for a gaming mouse involve its sensor, and the G203 Prodigy utilizes a new 200-6,000 DPI sensor that’s designed in the U.S. and made in Switzerland. The mouse also communicates at up to 1,000 reports per second, fully eight times as fast as the usual mouse, for near-instantaneous responsiveness.

Finally, the G203 Prodigy Gaming Mouse is highly customizable. Specifically, the mouse includes six programmable buttons, up to five levels of DPI sensitivity that can be adjusted on the fly, and LED lighting that provides up to 16.8 million colors and different brightness levels. All of the G203 Prodigy’s features can be fully configured using Logitech’s Gaming Software.

The Logitech G203 Prodigy Gaming Mouse will be available globally in January 2017. U.S. suggested retail pricing will be $49.99, with a price in Europe of about 45 euros.

There are some great machines in the 15-inch laptop category, which has recently been stretched to include the more common 16-inch laptop. The best among them is the Apple MacBook Pro 16, which offers fast performance for tasks like video editing and the longest battery life.

The Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i 16 is aimed not only at other 16-inch Windows laptops but also at the MacBook Pro 16. It offers many of the same benefits but at a lower price. Can it take a place at the top?

How to set an ‘Out of Office’ message in Microsoft Teams

Person using Windows 11 laptop on their lap by the window.

Many people use Microsoft Teams regularly to communicate with colleagues both inside of the office and remotely. It is considered one of the most efficient ways to ensure you can stay in contact with the people on your team, but what if you need to let people know you’re not readily available? Microsoft Teams has a method for you to set up an "Out of Office" status for your profile to let staff members know when you’ll be gone for the afternoon, for several days on vacation, or for an extended period.
Where do I go to set up my ‘Out of Office’ status for Teams?
It is important to note that your Microsoft Teams and Outlook calendars are synced. This includes your out-of-office status and automatic replies. So, whatever you set up in Microsoft Teams will reflect in Outlook. Similarly, you can set up your out-of-office status in Outlook, and it will be reflected in Teams; however, the former has a more straightforward instruction.

First, you can click on your profile icon in Teams and go directly to Schedule an out of office, as a shortcut. This will take you to the settings area where you can proceed. You can also click the three-dot icon next to your profile icon, then go to Settings > General, then scroll down to the bottom of the page. There, you'll find out-of-office settings and click Schedule.
