You can choose to store up to 3 profiles in the mouse’s onboard memory, or you can use the PC-based software to load up per-game profiles automatically as soon as you launch them. If you’ve invested in a lot of Logitech gear, it’s handy to have it all in the same place, and Logitech has done a great job of keeping the app lean and efficient so it doesn’t suck away resources from your games. Oh, and one other way the G703 differs from the G903: it is available in a two-tone white and black design.Īll of Logitech’s G series gaming products utilize the same Logitech Gaming Software app. They both use the same Pixart PMW 3366 optical sensor, the same Omron switches on the leftright mouse buttons, and have the same wireless technology. But in some important ways the two mice are very similar. The G903's mouse wheel also has a clutch to allow free spinning, and can click left and right, whereas the G703's mouse wheel is not customizable. It has two programmable DPI switches, rather than one. The G903 is ambidextrous and has customizable buttons on the left and right. That mouse stores five on-device profiles, but the G703 only stores three. The extra $50 you spend on the G903 gets you quite a few additional features. As with all Logitech’s G series gaming products, optional integration between the software and Overwolf can allow your games to control the lighting. The G logo on the back and a stripe along the middle of the mouse wheel will glow to any color you set it to, or can be set to a pulsing “breathing effect” pattern or to cycle through colors. Of course, these days we can expect a $100 gaming mouse to have RGB lighting. That’s quite light for a wireless mouse, and is on par with a lot of wired gaming mice. Without it, the G703 weighs 106 grams, or 108 grams with the POWERCORE module. If you don’t there’s just a simple plastic cover and an optional 10-gram weight. The bottom is adorned with a simple on/off switch and the circular coin-shaped dock for the POWERCORE module, should you opt to buy the $100 POWERPLAY mouse pad. This design makes it easy to get the plug in and out quickly and keeps it secure even during heated gaming sessions. Around the front you’ll find the micro-USB charge port, with the same custom shape as the G903. It uses the same Omron switches, rated for 50 million clicks, as the G903. It’s well-suited to plenty of fast clicking. The main left and right buttons have shallow travel and a nice audible click with quick return. Below the wheel is a single DPI switching button. The wheel doesn’t wobble, and has a very firm click action, but it can’t be clicked to the left or right like on the G903. Up top, the rubbery mouse wheel has a comfortable rubbery coating and knurling, with scrolling action that has soft detents-it doesn’t audibly “click” as you scroll it, but you can feel the notches just fine. The shape will work in a claw grip for those with large hands, or a palm grip for those with smaller hands. Unlike the G903, which can switch-hit for lefties, the G703 is for right-handed users only. A pair of large thumb buttons with satisfying click action adorn the left side. It has a mid-profile curve that is sloped upwards toward the left, comfortably fitting a right-handed grip. Title=More%20Expert%20Tech%20Roundups&type=articles%2Cvideos&tags=tech-roundup&count=6&columnCount=6&theme=article If you were to say, “generic PC mouse” to a stranger, this is the shape they would imagine. While the G903 takes a kitchen-sink approach to design with an ambidextrous design and all sorts of features, the G703 is rather pedestrian. If you don’t need the extra features of the G903 (ambidextrous design, customizable side buttons, free-spinning mouse wheel) you might not need to spend the extra money.Ĭompared to the G903, the G703 is a little boring, but it’s comfortable, well-made, and performs just as well, which is what counts the most. But at $100, this isn’t a cheap mouse, either. Logitech’s new G703 (See it on Amazon) / (See it on Amazon UK)is one of its first mice to support the company’s POWERPLAY mouse pad, and is meant to offer a little respite for those who think the $150 G903 is a little too expensive.
