    i'm a Logitech man when it comes to mice. they've always been rock solid for me.

    i'm still using my G700 that's at least 3-4 years old. i've been trying to find a reason to upgrade to the G900, but it just won't stop working so well.

    Bro @Phoenix I have finally purchased 2 of these Logitech mice. G502 Proteus Spectrum and G900 Chaos Spectrum. I want to say that the G502 fit better for my hands(I'm right handed and the G502 design is for us) vs. G900. I see you have you tried both post #22... I have the opposite meaning :cool: But I shall keep both. Have yoo go back to Steelseries? Or still use Logitech?

    I still have the G900 but I am using the SteelSeries now, goes well with my SteelSeries Keyboard [​IMG] and one less driver to install as the SteelSeries Engine is the same for both the keyboard and mouse [​IMG]

    I see you are focusing a lot on mice! can you overclock your mouse?

    Its either the G900 or the G403 Wireless for me but I kinda want to know if the G403 weighs less. Currently using G502 and not a fan of the stock weight.. (coming from a MX500/510/518, G400).

    G900 and G403 wireless weigh the same, both 107 g. But G403 weight is configurable. Weight cover removed (-2 g) = 105 g. 10 g weight installed = 117 g.

    It seems G900 is on sale everywhere. Even here home :) But with an higher price. Normal price here is $225 :eek: And now around $105. But can't beat that price. What is the shipping cost?

    G403 wireless was on sale too for $59.99, but the G900 is a better deal at that price unless you don't like its ambidextrous shape.

    Yeah it was a Logitech one day sale, the G403 was down to $59.99. shipping one-day was free for me, i also have amazon prime but since I currently live overseas I might not see it for another week lol. The normal price for the G900 is $113 (or rather how much it inflated), but place like Best Buy also doing $75 USD for it.

    I couldn't pass up a $75 G900 either, so now I have all of Logitech's current wireless gaming mice.

    Hows the G900 comapred to the G403?

    I also have a G602 that I left somewhere back home lol, I kept only 1 AA battery because it weight too much imo.

    G900 is a more luxurious mouse in terms of QC, build quality, materials, features, etc. The scroll wheel and L/R buttons are better on the G900. Not to say the spring tensioning system for the G403's clickers is bad at all, it's just not as tactile or fast as the G900's mechanical pivot design. The only downside to the G900 button design is there can be some slight play if you wiggle the buttons side-to-side, and it's pretty common (LTT mentioned it in his G900 review video). I have it on my left button, but not a big deal.

    I know you were asking about weight earlier. I did verify both G900 and G403 wireless (weight door installed without 10g weight) weigh the same, but the G900 feels a little heavier during use. I think it's because the weight distribution is more back-heavy on the G900, while the G403 is balanced around the center where the sensor is.

    Speaking of sensor, they both perform identically there as expected, no complaints at all.

    It didn't show up well in the picture, but the G403 is actually bigger than the G900. G403 has a taller and steeper hump but G900 doesn't have much of a hump at all. I think G403 might be better for palm grip while G900 is better for claw and fingertip. Given your mouse history the G403 maybe would've been a better fit ergonomically, that being said G900 should be fine too.

    All in all they're both great mice. I'm using G900 as my daily driver and G403 for FPS games since I prefer its shape and balance and can aim better with it.

    Yeah the G602 is a brick. I use mine with 2x AA lithium ion batteries (1x battery throws off the weight balance) which are lighter than alkaline batteries, but it's still a brick. If you play FPS with low sensitivity the G602's sensor spins out very easily and it's so laggy compared to G403/G900. Pretty remarkable really how much Logitech has improved their wireless in a few years. But nothing beats G602 for battery life so I throw it in the travel bag.

    I do like how Logitech does listen to complaints and improve on them.

    Still trying to figure it out, i would believe so mainly because thats the main selling point of the G903 aside from the weights and new clickers? :eek:

    I got it with 22% discount :mad:. But its okay, the only thing that I want from the new version is the power play feature for convenience.
