LogitechG203 Prodigy RGB Wired Gaming Mouse – Black

I bought this as a replacement to the Razer Deathadder, which itself I bought as a replacement to the Razer Deathadder 2013. Though durable for 7 years, the Deathadder 2013 had a problem in which one click would produce a double-click from time to time (extremely frustrating), and eventually the scroll wheel broke.The new Razer Deathadder, just like the old one, had the same 'one-click producing two-clicks' problem right out of the box. The Razer mice also had a strange issue which caused the mouse sensitivity to become greater just by virtue of opening the Razer software.I bought this Logitech G203 for around $20, and I could not be happier with the purchase. It's beautiful, the price was as good as it gets, and, most importantly, IT WORKS PROPERLY. I have no double-clicking issues anymore, the mouse sensitivity doesn't randomly speed up when the Logitech software is open, and it was easy to adjust the DPI and find the level that works perfectly for me. I have never been this happy with any mouse in my life.As a bonus, I was able to acclimate to the new mouse the very same day. There was no 'learning curve' for it, coming from the Razer mouse.I haven't written a review here in I don't know how many years, but I'm hoping it might help some other frustrated Razer mouse owner find a new, well-priced gaming mouse.

This is probably the best mouse that you can buy for under $30. While there are similarly priced mice with the PMW3360 sensor and Omron switches, some of them won't be built as well as this mouse.This mouse uses the same exact shell as the G-Pro wired, which is based on the Logitech G100s. So, its a small mouse. I have medium sized hands and I can safely use all 3 types of grip styles comfortably without losing accuracy in my aim.The build quality on this mouse is fantastic. I have no rattles, loose buttons, it glides on my mouse pad with ease, the build is very sturdy and high quality. And with that solid build, the mouse weighs only 85 grams, great for having to make quick movements in FPS games.The buttons are pretty good too. The left and right click buttons use Omron switches rated for 10 million clicks, so not the top of the line buttons but they are solid, and they are tensioned very well too, not as tight as the G305 buttons. All other buttons such as the scroll wheel, DPI and forward/back work as expected.The sensor is Logitech's Mercury sensor. It can track up to 8000 DPI, has 20G acceleration (optional) and can track at 200 IPS. No spin outs, acceleration, jitter, it tracks beautifully. In fact if I didn't know what sensor was in this mouse I would have thought it was the PMW3366 or the Hero.

I have medium sized hands and this mouse seems best suited for a claw style grip vs a palm grip. Palming the mouse is possible, but only if you don't mind having one or two fingers making contact with the mousing surface. Other than that, it's a solid mouse! I wasn't sure if I'd like it coming from a Microsoft X6 mouse, which is much larger, but I wanted to try it out because of it's classic design and I was curious about the performance of Logitech's in-house optical sensor used in this model. So far so good. It tracks at least as well as any previous high end laser mouse I've used in the past and the downloadable software allows for adjustments to the lighting, DPI, choice of using the on-board memory to retain settings or just keep it specific to the system (stored in software on the PC).The only con, for me anyway, is that the lighting controls are limited to full RGB with rate adjustments (how fast it cycles) or choosing a single color that breathes or pulses in intensity. The speed of the breathing cycle is adjustable, but I was hoping for a setting that allowed for the lighting to simply be on, with a single color and without any breathing effects. Not certain why this isn't included as I'm sure the hardware can handle it just fine. Something to keep in mind if you're assuming that is an option, as I did.Overall, great mouse! Breathing effects aside, and I do have it set to cycle at the slowest speed so it's nearly unnoticeable, the mouse performs well, feels very solid in the hand, and while not heavy, has enough weight to not shift around on it's own after releasing it. While the cord is not braided, this is a bonus in this case as the thinner and more flexible rubber cord allows for the mouse to move freely.
