Logitech G203 Prodigy RGB Wired Gaming Mouse – Black

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.

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 shortThe 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’ve been using my Logitech mouse for an incredible 7 years, and it’s been nothing short of amazing. The durability is outstanding—it handled daily use flawlessly without any performance issues. The design made it comfortable for long hours, and the responsiveness of the clicks and scroll wheel remained consistent over the years. Even after all this time, it still works like a charm. Logitech truly delivers on quality and reliability. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a long-lasting, dependable mouse!

The logitech G203 is the Western version of the Logitech G102. The G203 is the brother to the G Pro. The difference between the 203 and the G pro is that the G203 uses lower rated switches in the main clicks, a new mercury sensor from logitech, and a rubber cable instead of a braided one. The price is also much cheaper for the G203.So sensor performance wise the mercury sensor is not too far off from the 3366 sensor. The 3366 has some finer improvements to SRAV and is synchronized to the USB.. also by default the mercury sensor has an extremely small amount of angle snapping at very low speeds when moving on an x or y axis and then trying to change direction.. I mean very very slow. There's more detailed information about this on the overclock forum from very knowledgeable users.Now that out of the way this mouse is a performance punch for a knockout price. If you really think you're interested in the Logitech G Pro or own the G pro and just wish it had a rubber cable without having to change it on your own then this is most likely exactly what you're looking for. For me this mouse does almost everything right besides the shape. I don't like the shape because it feels like there's nothing for my grip style to hold and I can palm/claw most mice. This one has slanted sides instead of straight ones which make the grip feel a little strange for my large hands. The clicks, scroll wheel, and performance otherwise are really good. The rubber cable isn't the best in the world because it has a very long stress relief which can make it feel a little stiff but still much better than the braided cable of the G pro.I also highly recommend if you use this mouse to make a purchase of some "Logitech G Pro Hyperglides" (They will fit on the 203 since it uses the same skates) because logitech used either very cheap materials or just made a really bad mouse skate. The skates on the 203/G Pro are worse than logitechs G303 skates which is strange. The purchase of the hyperglides should greatly improve your gliding experience and then you should be all set to game on.I give the 203 a 4/5, it does almost everything right and very little wrong but I just had to knock a star off for the shape and the mouse skates. This is my personal preference but I'd rather use the G303 over this thing anyday due to my claw grip on the 303 being much more favorable than my grip to this mouse.

If you're looking for an entry level gaming mouse with a small profile the G203 is perfect. The mouse is pretty light and low profile with respectable stock feet and a cable that doesn't get stuck very much. The logitech sensor in it is precise enough for most gamers in this budget category. If you're not in the market for a high end gaming mouse or absolutely need a wireless option the G203 is an easy recommendation.If you find that the cable gets in the way or doesn't have enough slack on the desk, invest in a cheap mouse bungee and you should be good!
