Logitech G203 Prodigy RGB Wired Gaming Mouse – Black

July 2019 Edit: Mouse still going strong, no issues yet! December 2020 Update: Mouse still works just the same as the first day, although I have now moved on to the wireless version of this mouse, the G305. This one works like a charm as well! If you’re in the market for an entry-level gaming mouse, look no further, this is the mouse for you. Trust me. Whether for you or someone else you can’t go wrong with this mouse. I decided to create a huge review guide for people like me who just absolutely need to see detailed reviews before they pull the trigger on the product. Below is a pros and cons list and below that is a detailed paragraph about this mouse if you’re a reader :-) Pros - RGB Lighting (And not some solid color BS, like 12.8 million colors breathing effects type of stuff) - Depressed Area Left and Right click, helps keep your grip on the mouse (picture for example) - Smooth design and texture great for claw holders - 8000 dpi sensor with ability to change in increments of 50 (7950, etc.) - DPI Button with up to 4 on-the-fly dpi changes (also can be programmed to a key) - 2 custom buttons both on the inside of the mouse (more on that below) Meh (Opinion) - No Braided Cable (they fray) Cons - Worst scroll wheel I have ever seen in my life* (UPDATE: Scroll wheel is actually VERY good for games if you use it to switch weapons/items if because the notches are there to stop you from saying, switching 1 too much, otherwise, the scroll wheel is pretty meh because it just FEELS clunky) - Cable is a tad bit short The G203 Prodigy is hands down the best gaming mouse at this price point. The RGB lighting alone makes this mouse worth it considering the price point because a lot of good quality mice out there comprise the RGB lighting for functionality. Logitech did not compromise on this AT ALL boasting a full 16.8 million colors with color effects such as breathing and fading into other colors, much more than the old bs “RGB mice” that just have 1 solid color with an on and off switch (*cough Steelseries cough*). All you have to do is download the software from the website by searching “G203 Prodigy Software” and you’re good. Moving on, the dips in the mouse on the left and right clicks are amazing. It helps you keep your fingers gripped on the mouse when you click and move it around. After I used this mouse because my old gaming mouse without that feature shorted out, I just couldn’t go back. Must have on any gaming mice IMO, even if you don’t get this one. Additionally this mouse has a pretty smooth design and decent texture for your hands, I’ve had some that have felt better but not bad. The 8000 DPI sensor is also extremely good at this price point, it’s very accurate, and can be adjusted in increments of 50 (I know this sounds stupid but some mice don’t even have this precision, the Steelseries Kana v2 I had before only adjusted in increments of 400 which is absolutely terrible btw, don’t buy that mouse) which is huge. There’s also a DPI button and 2 custom mappable buttons which is pretty standard. This mouse has a rubber cable which I like but some people like braided ones (they look nice but are meh). Every mouse isn’t perfect though but this one comes pretty close. The only big problem with this mouse is the GOD AWFUL scroll wheel* (Update on this above, this depends on the genre of games you are playing) If you use the scroll wheel regularly, this is a HUGE drawback. Scrolling is somewhat clunky and the texture feels very uncomfortable so if you are a person using their scroll wheel every 5 minutes, I would have to tell you this may not be the mouse for you. Luckily I don’t use the scroll wheel that much. Lastly is the cable is a tad short but will be fine for 99% of you as long as you’re by your computer at a reasonable distance. I hope this helps you guys make a great choice on the mouse to get, I would highly recommend you to grab this mouse if you haven’t already. See you on the battlefield!

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.

This is my first "gaming" mouse and the it works how it supposed to. Right out of the box you just need to plug the USB cable to your PC and you are good to go. Now if you want to tweak some configurations to make it your custom pick then you'll need to install their LogitechG software for customization. The mouse size feel a little small in my hands, guess it's because I'm used to the Logitech MX Master for my daily driver and my hands are somewhat slightly bigger than average, but it is still comfortable to use either PALM, CLAW or TIP Grip. This mouse provides 6 buttons and up to 6,000 dpi sensor. One thing I noticed that the dpi changes button is very sinsible and too close to the scroll wheel cause me to accidentally change dpi during gaming. So I had to disable or unassign this button for now. The left and right mouse tension feels just right providing the click sound feedback, without requiring too much force to click. The Logitech G203 scroll wheel feels like the the MX Master's, but it doesn't have the quick scroll which you could flick to fly through content, but I guess you won't use that in gaming anyways. Due to its shape it can easily be an ambidextrous mouse thanks to the Classic Design. Now this is the era of RGB and the good thing about his gaming mouse is that its lighting is just subtle enough to enjoy the looks of the peripheral, but its not too cheezy. Plus you can change the lighting effect, color or turn it off. Overall this is a fantastic gaming mouse for a good "budget" price below $30.00 coming from a good quality company. I will strongly suggest to get this mouse if you don't have a gaming mouse. Pros: + Ambidextrous Classic Design + Good weight (Not heavy nor too light) + 6 Programmable buttons (Require Software) + Changable Lighting Effect (You can turn off leds) + Good Quality Buttons Cons: - Not an Wireless Version

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.

This is a very good mouse for a very good price. It have a nice small shape that makes it ideal for shooters. I have 19 x 10 cm hands and use a relaxed fingertip grip. This mouse is much more comfortable for me than my old logitech g400. It is also very light which is nice. The cable is fairly thin and flexible which is also a plus. I have had no problems with tracking. The sensor has a very low lift of distance on my steel series qck mouse pad which is also very good. logitech software can be used to configure profiles per game. It might be a bit intimidating at first but is very convenient. You cant set different DPI values, different lighting options and button assignments per game. the scroll wheel is nice and easy to click in. All the button have nice light clicks and the left and right clicks have some nice comfort grooves on top which is a plus. The RGB lights are very nice. You can have color cycle, adjust the speed of the color cycle, turn off all lights, set a breathing effect or just have a solid color on at all times. It is disappointing that you can't set which colors you want to cycle through, its either all colors or one specific color. I don't think you can find a better mouse with this built quality and software feature set at this price point ($30).

I like that it has some style without being distracting in a business office setting. It's held up well for several years with no signs of wear in the mouse or cable. I prefer the reliability of wired mice, and this has been rock solid. No advanced features, but it does the basics really well. Perhaps a bit small for an adult male with size large hands, but fits well enough.

I got this 'gaming mouse', because I tried out different mouses at Best Buy and i thought this one was the most ergonomic. It is a nice size and fits fully in the hand, its a pretty basic aspect but alot of mice these days are pretty small. They are more akin to laptop mice. All a 'gaming mouse' is a mouse with a higher DPI(more sensitive movements), extra buttons and RGB. RGB is a gimmick and not necessary and you can get the other features in non-gaming mouse although that is harder to find now with everything being marketed as 'gaming'. This mouse works well enough, I am not sure if its worth 30 dollars. I think maybe 15-20 is a better price. Although its considered a lower price 'gaming mouse', to spend a lot of money on a mouse is absurd. I bought a generic mouse at best buy for 6 dollars and this one is not much better. Its just more ergonomic and has silly RGB, I am not sure if its worth the extra 25 dollars. Also this mouse comes with software, it allows you to customize the DPI clicks and how many you want, it also allows you to change the color. The software is somewhat invasive and automatically start up even if you disable that in the settings, so you might want to check that if your concerned about programs taking up your resources. Overall 3/5. Its a solid mouse, I just think that 'gaming mice' are overrated and they could cost less. If you can get a good regular mouse for less, I would go with that.

recomendo a todos!

Great mouse just a lil small for palm

Me gusto por que se ve ligero y preciso, ademas de que lo compré por el sensor de alta Precisión los clicks hace ruido pero eso no importa, y sí, es ligero tiene un agarre muy bueno al menos para mi mano.

Was a clear upgrade over my old abyssus

Per chi non ha moltissime pretese, questo mouse da gaming Logitech è davvero ottimo. Acquistato in promozione ad un prezzo di circa 25€, dispone di DPI programmabili e tastino rapido sulla parte sinistra. I DPI e i led sono configurabili mediante applicazione da installare su PC
