First of all, let me give you my mouse history. I started off using a Mionix Naos 8200, which was an incredibly comfortable mouse, but ultimately too big and heavy for competetive games such as CSGO, so I retired it. I then moved onto a Steelseries Rival 310, 4 of them in fact, owing to Steelseries’ horrendous build quality. Finally I rested on the G703, and I’m very happy. I will break up my review into three parts: build quality, performance, and general usability. BUILD QUALITY This mouse is impeccably built, the clicks on both the right and left buttons are solid, satisfying and tactile. The same can be said for the side buttons, which is often a downfall of mice build quality. The scroll wheel has very minimal tilt, and the scroll steps are solid, if slightly less tactile than I’d prefer. The included braided cable is great, provided you don’t want to use the mouse whilst charging as it is far too heavy to use with the mouse. The only thing I can take away from this is the lack of USB C. It’s 2020 Logitech, come on! PERFORMANCE: The sensor in this mouse is the improved Hero sensor, which offers excellent performance at significantly reduced power consumption. In my time using this mouse, I haven’t ever experienced spin-out, or any sensor strangeness, it’s been rock solid. The mouse is easy to grip with both fingertip and palm grip, my hands are fairly small so they both work great for me. The rubberised sides really do make a difference to the level of grip, and they don’t show any signs of wearing down. The mouse moves flawlessly across my Corsair mousemat. Initially the mouse feet made it difficult to move the mouse without resistance, but they wore down over time and the mouse is now perfect for quick movements. The sensor is top notch, as you’d expect, aiming feels crisp, and despite my lack of headshots in shooters, I am completely certain that that is entirely down to my lack of ability, and not the mouse. All of the switches in the mouse feel great, when I first got the mouse, I placed it up to my ear and clicked the mice buttons, they’re that satisfying to use. They are slightly too light for my tastes, I have occasionally thrown a grenade or shot when I didn’t intend to, however this happens very infrequently and is a small price to pay for the excellent clicks and tacticle feedback. I cannot notice a difference in the wireless vs wired performance, there have been tests that show that Logitech’s Lightspeed technology is sometimes even quicker than wired. I never felt cheated by the wireless, it’s incredibly responsive and a testament to the leaps in techonology that have been made recently. It’s difficult to describe the freedom of a wireless mouse, it just feels so much better than wired, the freedom is immediately noticeable. The extra included weight is a nice touch, though I personally play with the weight cover off, to make the mouse as light as possible. GENERAL USABILITY: Battery Life- The mouse has great battery life, I could easily get 60 hours out of the mouse at 500hz polling without lighting. With lighting at 1000hz polling I got closer to 30. I was recently gifted the Powerplay Mousemat, so I never have to worry about charging my mouse again, but for those who do, you shouldn’t have any issues with battery life. The mouse will also let you know when it is close to empty through the RGB effects and software. Software- Despite numerous reports online of Logitech’s software being terrible, I have had a generally good experience with it. I blocked its access to the internet and prevented auto updates, and it’s been largely smooth sailing. The DPI adjustments work well, lighting effects sync seamlessly and the macro funtion is a godsend for timeline work. Honestly, I’m only buying Logitech mice from now on, soley for the macro functions. Comfort- This mouse is very very comfortable. It took me a while to adjust to the shape, but once I did, it just fits in my hand, like it belongs. The separated left and right click buttons means that you can have your hand quite far back on the mouse and still reliably click. I regularly use my mouse for long sessions of timeline work and I have never felt fatigued or cramps coming on when using the mouse. OVERALL CONCLUSION In conclusion, this is a fantastic, albeit quite expensive, wireless mouse. It’s very well built, has great clicks, a flawless sensor and stellar wireless performance. If you have the cash, it’s a great option, if you have even more cash, get it and the powerplay mat, which gives you the benefit of a wireless mouse without the main negative of wireless, the charging. 5 people found this helpful

tl;dr: It’s a great mouse. Highly responsive with great battery life and very comfortable. This is my 1 year review. My settings: 800 DPI. 1000 report rate per second. Disabled DPI switching. In windows turn OFF pointer precision/smoothing. My Lighting settings: (Both Primary and Logo Lighting) Rate 8000ms Brightness 100% Effect Breathing Colour Red ========== Pros ========== Performance: – Fast and responsive in a variety of games and desktop usage: FPS, MMO, RTS, Strategy etc. – No noticeable lag in wireless or wired modes. – Instant response when move it from sleep mode. – ZERO pixel skipping or stutter (I had this on my Razer Lachesis from early 2010’s (remember that one?)) Battery life: – >=1-2 week depending on usage and lighting settings. I have had it last 3 weeks. If you blast RGB and use it 8 hr a day it will probably last <1 week. - Can switch it off manually underneath. - Will sleep itself if not registered movement, it turns the lights off. Prob is why I've had it last so long. - Play and charge. - NO BATTERIES it's an internal cell. Comfort: - Very - Probably been designed for mixed/palm grip but I sometimes switch to claw and fingertip grip and never had issues. It's certainly a larger mouse than some, which is create for my hand size. - Nice and light but not too light. Can add the included weights if you need to. - Glides across mousemat with no snagging or jumping (I use Steelseries). Connector: - Smooth braided kink-free USB cable with an odd prong shape to it on the mouse-end, which connects to the mouse securely. - In wireless mode you detach the cable from the mouse then attach a dongle to the cable, and it just works. Aesthetics: - Smooth hard plastic top with some soft rubber sides. - Mouse wheel soft rubber feel. - Side buttons shiny black plastic. - Mouse wheel and G symbol light up RGB, nice and bright. Quality of life: - When turn it on the mouse wheel flashes red to tell you it needs plugging in. Very useful. - Can assign macros and reassign all the keys in the Logitech software. - Software is very simple and uncluttered (Coming from a Roccat Kone that is a blessing trust me..) - Battery-saving Sleep mode when doesn't register input after few mins. Packaging: - Clean design, Neat and tidy. - Small compact box about half the size of my Roccat and Razer boxes from >5yr ago. Less landfill wastage. ========== Cons ========== Software: – Can glitch out sometimes, such as not showing device connected. – Update fails to apply sometimes. 2 people found this helpful

I’ve upgraded to this mouse from an old (the first) MX Master as I basically got tired of the MX Master’s input lag but didn’t want to miss out on having a wireless mouse. All I can say is that this improvement has been well worth it, especially given the good value of the mouse. It feels much more accurate and the latency is much lower. I didn’t think it’d be a perceivable difference, but whether the mouse is plugged in with the shipped cable or used with the wireless dongle, it remains accurate, fast, and pleasant to use. The included weight is just right for what I’m used to, making it lighter than the MX Master yet heavy enough for my preference. It does glide well on multiple different surfaces. I personally don’t use a mouse pad as my table surfaces are rather smooth already, and the resistance is really low. The included cable is great and feels stable when it’s plugged into the mouse, which is necessary since I believe it runs out of battery every 2-3 weeks, which is pretty great too. Ergonomics-wise, it’s slightly shaped for right handed use and doesn’t cause any strain even if it’s used for a whole day (beyond what’s expected, I suppose) I use the mouse both for gaming and for work, and if you’re searching for something that just feels “faster,” a lower latency mouse like this is perfect. On a side note, it does have some lights, and the software to configure it can be used once and then removed if you’d like to flash your settings to the mouse directly (via an on-board config) which is great since I can now use it for multiple devices and don’t need to worry about my settings.

I was looking for a mouse to go with my Logitech G513 RGB keyboard after my Razer DeathAdder began to die on me. I was skeptical on buying my first wireless mouse but I’ll never look back after being recommended this mouse by several friends. Its form factor is small, but I’m quickly getting used to it. As a long time gamer with fairly large hands I was worried I’d have issues gripping the mouse, but the size is very ergonomic and the rubber grips on the side are designed perfectly. I’ve had it for about a month now and there’s no signs of wear and tear. The battery life is great, for me it lasts for about a week when being used for most of the day, every day. Plus the charging is intuitive, I’m using the USB extension cord with the wireless adapter plugged in, so whenever the mouse wheel begins blinking red I can simply plug it in with the wire that sits on my desk, though this might not work for someone who finds cable management and minimalism important. This has been my favourite mouse by far and I’ve owned many different models from different brands. I bought this on sale for £37.99 One person found this helpful

Great value for money considering this mouse is fitted with a Hero 25k sensor. This sensor gives the mouse a maximum resolution of 25600DPI which is outstanding and allows for precision movements no matter what your requirements. Whether it be for gaming, video editing or CAD this mouse is a perfect all rounder. It is very ergonomically designed with easy to reach side buttons and is rather comfortable to use for extended periods of time. The mouse also comes including an optional 10g weight which can be added or removed based on the users preference since the mouse is rather lightweight. featuring intelligent, customisable RGB lighting this mouse is rather aesthetically pleasing and LIGHTSYNC allows the rgb to react to in game action and more. Latency is minimised with the mouse as it uses LIGHTSPEED wireless which states it has a report rate of 1ms. This really can allow for quick reaction rates and enhance your overall experience. The installation of the required software is a simple process that is well written and gives a good walk through to the user so that anyone with an Internet connection can easily download the software. The product features a rechargeable battery that is housed internally, and cones with a charging cable. Manufacture stated battery life is rather accurate with default lighting being up to 35 hours and no lighting being up to 60 hours which I’ve found to be pretty accurate. Overall for the price of this mouse it is a great product, nice to use, nice to look at, and with a 2 year guarantee from logitech it’s great.

In the past, I’ve had pretty bad experiences with wireless (specifically bluetooth) mice, so I’ve stuck to wired for the last couple of years. I decided to finally switch mouse since my Steelseries Rival 600 was getting a bit… broken (thanks to it’s design flaws, please don’t buy that mouse) and I thought I would give wireless another go. I originally planned to get the G Pro Wireless but I reminded myself that price does not equal quality so looked into some cheaper options since mice really are consumable in my opinion. The G703 looked perfect to me, I palm-grip and this mouse is great for palm gripping, the coating is alright but I wish it was a bit more rubbery like my Rival 600 was, the RGB is nice but the scroll wheel LED is not viewable from all angles, I’m not sure if this is a design fault or feature but it doesn’t really bother me, I won’t take any points for it, the shape is great, as I said, it is perfect for the palm grip. The buttons all feel great and satisfying to press, especially the side buttons. The wireless is perfect, absolutely no noticable latency, I can never go back to a wired mouse after using this, if you’re having any issues with the wireless I would suggest using the included extension cable and putting the dongle on your desk rather than in the back of your computer. The battery life is great, I can get about 3-4 days out of it on a single charge. I would definitely recommend this mouse for the price, it is great value and works really well.

January 2025 Pattern Name: G703 LIGHTSPEED Cant go wrong with Logitech, great for the price, I use it everyday for gaming and only have to charge it once every week or so and it charges super fast.

I bought it as I wanted to have a more ergonomic and palm-grip mouse as this is my main grip style. However, the G703 feels much heavier than the G Pro X Superlight. Shape I just love the shape, it’s almost perfect for a palm-grip style ! Buttons The buttons & scroll wheel feel very good, however I know they will develop double-clicking in the future. But this is not a very big problem, as the switches can be replaced by desoldering the old ones and soldering new ones in which is relatively easy. Skates I think those are quite bad and you would need to replace them with Corepads. Weight Feels way way heavier than the GPX Superlight and this basically makes it very difficult to use for me personally. I can’t control it very well because of the weight. I hope they will release a superlight model and I will sure be the first one to buy it. The mouse also doesn’t feel very grippy, but that is also caused by the heavy weight, it kinda slips out of your hand due to the weight. I would suggest some aftermarket grip tapes.
