> 3 dayThis is honestly hands down the best value mouse Ive used. If youre looking for the best bang for the buck and purchasing a new PC gaming set up, this would be the first mouse I recommend. Also if youre a 3D artist and looking for a mouse with a nice scroll wheel button and scrolling mechanism that works wonderfully with all your 3D software packages, this is the mouse Id recommend. For the quality you get, I personally think its cheap and a great deal. Now, having raved about how good of a deal it is, Im not going to say its as good as the Razer Viper Ultimate Wireless that I just recently purchased. It just isnt that good. The G203 is considerably heavier than the Viper Ultimate and I have come to really appreciate a lighter mouse. However, the G203 is solidly built and Im sure Ill be using the two that I have for several years because they are well built and durable. The DPI sensitivity can be turned up far higher than I would personally ever want (8000 DPI) and I doubt it will be a limiting factor for most people. It has a 1000Hz pooling rate, which is a far higher refresh rate than any monitor I know of and I doubt you really need much more if any at all for the foreseeable future. The shape of the body of the mouse is nice, after using the Viper Ultimate, I do wish the G203 was a bit shorter when measured rising up off the mousepad but seriously a minor gripe. After using the Viper Ultimate, I do wish the backward and forward buttons on the side of the mouse were a bit bigger like the Viper Ultimate but they are workable. The lighting on the mouse is surprisingly pleasing a smooth. From my experience the Logitech G Hub software is well designed at easy to use. I heavily prefer G Hub compared to Razer Synapse. Synapse so often requests log in credentials and its a rage inducing pain, Logitech in contrast does it the correct way and does not require a log in at all. You just have to install the software and thats it, it works and it doesnt take up too many system resources. The cord of this mouse is a bit heavier than some and less flexible than some but its not bad. I highly recommend a mouse cord Bungee to go with this mouse, its a great combo if youd rather not spend the extra coin on a wireless mouse and you can be highly competitive gaming with that set up. I personally use this mouse with the Thermaltake Tt e SPORTS Galeru Bungee on my work machine and its awesome. I tend not to lug around a bungee in my backpack with my laptop but the G203 is my main laptop mouse and I do well in competitive games without the bungee also. This mouse is an easy recommendation for me, I think its one of the best investments one can make as a PC gamer. I would guess its light years better than mice that are included with most if not all prebuilt PCs. As a long time (25+ years) PC builder, enthusiast and gamer its hard to put into words how impressive this one mouse is in terms of cost to performance ratio, its a landmark in my mind. Its the minimum and the maximum that I feel like you really need to be a strong competitive gamer, everything else is either that extra icing on the cake or the e-waste that will fill a landfills quickly in coming years. Just my personal guess this mouse could last you 10 years and there wont be a major compelling reason to upgrade outside of weight during that time. A slow transition to all USB-C maybe could happen and that might be a reason to get a new mouse but honestly this one I think will last you a while if you want it to.

> 3 dayGreat quality and value for the price. Very ergonomic and if you get it on sale (which it goes on sale routinely) then it’s a great upgrade. Good for casual to intermediate gamers, but more hardcore gamers will want something better. But I mostly use it for my everyday office mouse, and it’s made a huge difference. I was surprised that it would make a difference for office work but it really did.

> 3 dayDespite some of the problems I have heard reported with this mice, such as a bad sensor or clicking issues I am so far impressed and have had no issues other than the usual problems with Logitechs buggy software. I also purchased this for just under $20 and because it was on back order there was about a 3-week wait to get this thing to my door. The packaging came damaged but that may have happened in the process of being delivered by the postal service. Right now this mouse is going to sit as my replacement for my G303 which Ive had close to four years with very few issues except thats worn and maybe some day Ill refurbish/mod it and have as a backup. Until then the G203 is my daily driver for all purposes until I find another alternative and potentially wireless. But again, $15 was hard to pass up and I thought this would be a nice thing to use until I come up with my endgame mouse for all purposes including work from home and gaming. One thing that really stands out to me is that this mouse much like the G303 (and even the G302, G305) is that it has that egg shape which definitely suits my hand size and grip(s) very well. For reference my hand measures 17cm by 10cm, and my grip is some place between fingertip and claw. An unpopular opinion here but I also do like that the mouse cable is rubber rather than braided because the G303 of mine had been fraying just months into use. Likewise, the material on this mouse differs from the G303 and is not likely to show a shine after putting heavy use into it. It also has decent skates/feet but I would definitely recommend something like hyperglides as a replacement if you want more of a glide on your mousepad. Addressing the elephant in the room - I have heard from places like YouTube and Reddit that this mouse is a downgrade from its relative, the G203 Prodigy as it has a lower-quality sensor and some even report there is an issue with double-clicking. So far a week into use I havent had any spinning out or weird issues playing games nor do I think there is any double clicking happening. Moreover the past two Logitech mice I owned didnt have any issues with clicks or sensors. As far as complaints go I cant say Im a big fan of the DPI button and it could definitely be pressed accidentally. Another complaint is that unlike my G303 the wheel feels a little harder to scroll though the texture the scroll wheel has is nice. Finally and not specific to this mouse the Logitech software, both in its current and old forms are buggy and I wish I could change settings without needing the software.

Greater than one weekGood mouse but the mac control panel is completely useless and packed with bloatware. All I want to do is turn off the dang lights, I dont need a 100+MB app pulling 100+MB ram for a mouse!

> 3 dayNot to sound like a bot, but this mouse is awesome. Its easy to change the DPI. making slow-medium-fast and ultra-fast mouse hovering a quick task. The Logitech G Hub app allowed me to both control the default DPI + change the colors of the mouse. Changing to this mouse was one of the simple, cost-effective ways to upgrade my experience on my PC. Recommend this to anyone starting with a new computer or in search of a quality mouse for scrolling online + gaming.

> 3 dayDespite appearances, this is not a symmetric mouse. The extra buttons are only on the left side, so if youre left handed, look elsewhere. If you look for Logitech G Hub and Fusion 360 on the web, you will find various folks who both can and cant program the extra buttons to do shift-middle click for Fusion 360. I couldnt get it to work. Considering that was the entire reason I bought the mouse, its useless to me. It has a nice heft and the buttons are pleasantly clickie, though. If youre right-handed and dont use Fusion 360, its probably a good mouse for you.
