Logitech G703 Lightspeed Wireless Gaming Mouse (Black) EXPIRED

I love my g403 and this looks like almost the same size and style as that. Really tempting to upgrade for the wireless experience

Logitech was good. Nowadays the product quality is horrible. Avoid if you can.

I had a g403 that crapped out because of the scroll wheel and had it replaced with a g703, definitely worth it. Having wireless is great and I don't notice any significant difference iin response when I game. Protip: get one of those magnetic tipped usb cables and put one of the tips in the mouse. Whenever you need to connect to charge, just move it near the cable!

Quote from araketu : Logitech was good. Nowadays is just another cheap crap.

Scroll wheel and double click on single clicks... :/

One thing is for certain, their customer service is horrible bad.

I've actually had similar experiences, but different opinions.

I had the OG G403 Wireless. Scroll wheel issue over time. (Firmware didn't fix it)

They sent me the G703 as a replacement... I really liked it. But eventually sold it when I got a G Pro Wireless.

During this time, I also had a G603... same, scroll wheel issue. But this happened right outside of warranty, so it became junk instead.

Its just something to be aware of. Its a good mouse, but can go bad. My G403/G703 were not Hero editions. Maybe they've improved things since then.

I also tried the magnetic USB cables. Once I got a Viper Ultimate w/Dock, I thought "This is great. Why doesn't Logitech have a dock?" And somebody recommended those magnetic USBs.

I liked them, but couldn't find good ones. Mine were barely glued together at the Micro-USB. And once got the Micro USB stuck. Tried to pull it out, came apart and I was using tweezers to pull pieces out of a $150 GPW. So I decided it wasn't worth the risk. But would be happy to hear if you have good quality ones? Mine were the NetDot 3 Pack 2nd Generation

Cheers.

Also since then, my work mouse has become the Razer Mamba Wireless. I find it very similar to the G703. But can be found for $40-45. Razer may not be perfect either, but since Logitech isn't either. Might as well save some money imo.

I have this mouse its great, especially at this price.

Couldn't verify that it was the 25k hero Sensor at Walmart so go it at Best Buy(Newegg shows 16k sensor). Thanks OP

You can thank all the toxic scammers plaguing major consumer electronics companies for part of that.

They will cover the scroll wheel. Give it a try.

I have 5 different PCs, and warranting the issue is a big hassle. I'd rather buy Zowie Mouses, they "just work", don't have cheap bad binned omron switches that fail around the year mark, and cheap sensors on the scroll wheel that move up and down at the same time. I've already returned 2 out of the 5 I had. And I don't use the wireless feature cause it only lasts about 2 days on full rgb, about 2 weeks on low rgb, and that charge pad can heat up metal objects like keys, or metal cups.

I'd like a repairable mouse to reduce e-waste, or upgradable internals. Failing that, the zowie mouse doesn't require fancy G Hub, and has a significantly longer life.. despite it having the same 1 year warranty.

It's the 16k sensor, which is the bad one... not that any of the Hero sensors are remarkably great.

I settled for a g602 recently and despite hating how horrible the grip is for a non-ambidextrous mouse, the sensor is at least a decent Avago.

Well, can't say much because Zowie users are pretty hard to sway and not many people have five computers requiring five identical mice.

What I can say is this is the latest HERO version and the battery life is significantly better than what you had. They replaced my copy with the scroll wheel issue.

With a firmware update it will have 25k DPI, not that anyone should need it... I hope. But yeah, G HUB, I get it.

Available today, through a software update from G HUB, this upgrade is free to all players with the following mice:

G903 HERO
G502 LIGHTSPEED
PRO Wireless
G703 HERO
G604
G502 HERO
G403 HERO
PRO

See above, you can update the firmware for 25k.

I'm usually all for getting something for nothing, but if it could do 25k all along, why was it released at 16k?

The Avago sensors still beat Hero 25k, regardless.
