![]() (Apparently the main buttons offer a 'better' click too, but I'll be damned if I can spot a meaningful improvement). It's neither too light or too heavy, its wireless performance, speed and accuracy is impeccable and the buttons are well laid-out and non-ostentatious. I've actively considered sticking some kind of putty to its sides.įrustratingly, so much else is good about this mouse, making me reluctant to part with it despite its Jessica Rabbit construction making it ill-suited to my weary palm. Personally, I'd prefer a wider waist and a fully-supported palm - I find this uncomfortable, but in a harder to pinpoint way than I did the 603's finger-poking. The 'palm' grip is the most common mouse design, but many feel that the alternate form known as the 'claw', as the 903 encourages, is better-suited to the likes of RTS and mobas, as the tighter, pincer grip enables a touch more fine control. It's not a design boo-boo this time, but instead reflects different schools of mousing thought. ![]() It's a subtle difference, but one that I found caused significant finger-fatigue during use. This pincer movement also forces the bulk of my hand upwards, rather than the more usual palm-resting scenario. This means my thumb and little finger squeeze into the mouse rather than rest on its lower edges. This is quite a narrow mouse with a noticeable taper in the middle, lending it almost an hourglass aspect. What I don't miss is the more general construction. I do find that the rachety feel makes my finger a little uncomfortable if I'm spending a long time with a document, so I do miss this toggle when I return to my old G602. A button switches it from a clicky scroll suited to flicking through guns or inventory items to a buttery-smooth scroll that's easier if, say, you're navigating to the umpteenth page of your best PC games of 2017 spreadsheet. Speaking of which, the G903 has a trick not available on the 603/703. At least there's a solid surface around the mousewheel. Unfortunately, the general, plasticky weightlessness robs the 903 of the premium feel one would expect from a £130 peripheral. The latter is one example of where material has been cut away to keep it agile. It's not hideous, but I could definitely do without the two underslung 'horns' on the front, and the faux-vents halfway down its body. The 903 looks a lot more like the gaming-specific peripherals we've sadly become resigned to - a bit like a weapon from some late-noughties Tom Cruise film you can't quite remember the name of. That said, I'm not sure either would look quite so neat and tidy once I'd violently de-clawed those spikes around the wheel. There is a middle sibling in the Gx03 family - the G703, which boasts most, but not all, of the 903's features within the 603's less terrifying Superman-III-robo-lady exterior - and visually, I prefer the 603 and 703's design by a long shot. WITCHCRAFT.įirst things first: no finger-spikes here. ![]() The G903 has similar but improved innards, a different, tweakable design, a fancier scrollwheel and buttons and, the headline feature, an extra-purchase mousemat that wirelessly recharges the mouse's battery while you use the bally thing (i.e.: never worry about running out of charge while you're mid-way through sticking a sword through something's tummy ever again). Today, I've got its bigger, also wireless brother, the Logitech G903 to look at to see whether that, too, might be worthy of the title ' best gaming mouse'. ![]() I've already reviewed the Logitech G603, which for me was the perfect, non-ridiculous wireless gaming mouse but for some facepalmy design that made it too uncomfortable to use without brutal modification. ![]()
