It’s the feet that make the difference. Indeed, if there’s any feature that typifies the entry-level nature of the G703, I think it’s the feet. Most people don’t give much thought to what’s under the mouse, but it can be just as important as the weight, the balance, the sensor, etc. Compare the bottoms of the G703 and G903 here: IDG / Hayden Dingman
The Logitech Gaming Software is up their with the best; it’s clearly laid out, and easy to use. It’s here that you can change the performance settings of the mouse, and reassign buttons to other functions. The RGB lighting can be altered and synced with other Logitech peripherals, but I do find that Corsair’s CUE software has more effects and greater precision control. We've added a small disclaimer to the Compatible Software Option section which highlights some of the most commonly reported issues users online have encountered with Logitech's G HUB companion software. We've converted this review to Test Bench 1.4. This update modifies our Hand Size Recommendation test, adding a more granular hand size recommendation chart. We've moved several minor tests into different test groups, removed the Travel usage, and added a new Raw Performance usage. For more details, you can see our full changelog here. The G703 is the perfect gaming mouse for those who want a comfortable wireless gaming device that’s great across the entire range of PC games. While there’s no doubt it’s an expensive upgrade, the PowerPlay integration allows for a truly wire-free experience.Some will want something a mouse that’s more flashy; others a mouse that has a greater number of buttons.

When it comes to performance, there’s plenty to praise here – and very little to complain about. I’ve been playing hours upon hours of XCOM 2 and Player Unknown’s Battlegrounds, and have been loving every second. Is it unusable? Far from it, and a few may even prefer the G703. That drag allows for more precise movements, at the expense of slightly more effort. For my money though, I prefer the G903, or really any mouse that glides without a second thought. IDG / Hayden Dingman That feature seems admittedly more useful on the higher-end G903, which glides effortlessly across the mouse pad. I actually thought the G703 was the heavier mouse at first, due to how much it dragged while moving—but no, it’s actually 3 grams lighter than the G903 (107 versus 110). It also uses Logitech’s proprietary “Lightspeed” wireless tech. Time was, a wireless mouse was verboten in gaming circles—prone to interference, plagued by bad sensors, people wanted wired mice because they were dependable. There’s also an assumed benefit to wired: speed. Surely nothing’s faster than an electric signal over a wired connection, right?
That’s true regardless of pairing method. Those of you who abstain from Powerplay and buy the G703 on its own will receive the usual USB dongle. Easy. Those who do opt for Powerplay will have the mouse pad itself as a Lightspeed receiver. The first time you turn on the mouse pad and mouse it’ll pair, and from there you should be good to go. I haven’t noticed any performance difference between the two methods. Make sure your mouse is connected to your computer using the supplied USB cable or the wireless USB receiver. It’s perhaps on the pricey side, and isn’t the most exciting mouse to look at. Nevertheless, it nails all the core functionality, and delivers excellent gaming performance for the budding cord-cutter. It works. A truly wireless mouse is finally here—one you’ll never need to plug in. If you’re willing to shell out the cash, of course. Bottom line Those strong points include the sensor. The G703 might be the inexpensive option, but it still features the same PWM3366 sensor that Logitech uses in the G502, G903, and its other high-end mice. Beloved by many for its precision and consistency, the presence of the PWM3366 automatically puts the G703 in good company. IDG / Hayden DingmanUsing the G703 in its traditional, non-Powerplay mode, I got about two or three days of use before I needed to connect the included Micro USB cable and plug in the mouse. That matches Logitech’s figures, which list 24 hours of battery with the default lighting (or 30-plus if you go dark). Charging takes about two hours, so the mouse should be charged with time to spare if you plug it in overnight.
