Logitech G603 Review (New Hero Optical Sensor)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- In game tests for the new optical Hero sensor. This has the same shape as the G403 so the review is mostly about sensor. It's meant to give the performance of a 3366 (top optical) but it does it much more efficiently, so power consumption is low. That means this sensor is made for wireless mice, because now you won't have to charge it so often (or get new batteries, in this case).
Very impressive tech and a great mouse if it suits your needs. Personally I'm sticking with the G403 wireless or G703, but no doubt there is a market for wireless mice that can last for hundreds of hours, especially laptop users that want to travel a lot.
You could also check out the PowerPlay with the G703, which will charge it through the pad and won't need to be plugged in, check that review here: • Logitech PowerPlay Wir...

I prefer the removable batteries to rechargeable inbuilt ones or powerplay. The removable batteries make the mouse last longer.
THANK YOU!!! I was literally trying to find the perfect review for this mouse.
If you’re using the included battery that Logitech provides (which you shouldn’t , get a light AAA with paper clip or tinfoil) I recommend putting the battery at the right side because the left is where the switches the side buttons are located which makes the mouse feel really unbalanced when putting the battery in. If you put the battery on the right the weight will be more distributed and balance.
I know it's a bit too late now, but if you get an AA Lithium battery from Energizer, it helps to reduce the weight hugely (about 1/3 of an Alkaline battery I believe) and keeps the mouse under 100g with 1 AA battery.
but you have to use a converter AA to AAA right?
@@Andrefilipeferreira_ it uses AA batteries
This is my favorite mouse.
Yes, she has amazing
Seeing how far the wireless has come makes me really hope for g304 someday. Maybe larger powerplay pads too.
After 7 months: ruclips.net/video/3cHgkimh284/видео.html :G304 LIGHTSPEED Gaming Mouse (wireless)
wish has come true
@@makisedrive3637 god has listened
You know what be really cool/hilarious. A review on the intellimouse, it's a real classic. And it still holds up.
Crazy how this was once touted the best gaming mouse on the market and here I just bought it as a travel mouse for Steamdeck because of the extreme battery life.
With 1 Ultimate Lithium, weight goes down to about 104g, 70% of the mah of two coppertops, and the balance improves.
Or use AAA batery
@@muhammadsulthanapyandra2809 AAA's have a lot less capacity. You'll replace them much more often.
The Lithium AA cells are really light and store lots of energy for their size--just use one of them, and you're good to go for ages :)
thinking about it, this mouse batteries can be used as weights lol
I got this mouse I use Amazon basic aa blacks and I have only had to change the battery once in 6 months and im an avid gamer
I'm really glad Logitech is pushing the wireless technology as far as they can, to the point of bringing wired performance. The fact that it has batteries really bothers me though. It's extremely impressive to squeeze so many hours of use like this but let's be honest here, batteries are just the worst. They're heavy, expensive and just plain outdated.
To me personally, the G900 (or G903) is the best wireless mouse so far. It's an engineering beauty that performs just as good.
Keep up the good work, Zy. You're quite frankly the only mouse reviewer out there that I trust.
Non-rechargeable batteries have twice power density for same weight than rechargeable.
Implosay well this was suppose to replace g602 which also had batteries. i feel like this mouse is more of a mouse for general and portable use that you can also use for gaming if you wanted to.
Alex Grigoryev regular AA rechargable work just as long as non rechargable double aa and you can keep recharging them
Radiant AI tbh you only plug it like once a week(also depending on how much you use it) for like a hour or two. i just plug it in when i am not using it.
more recent logitech mice are definitely way better. my g900 holds for like a week. The website says 32 hours without led and 24 hours with led.
Got this myself, since it was on sale. It's easily the best mouse I have ever used.
I've only had an issue with the scroll wheel randomly flipping the opposite way when starting to scroll, but that was resolved with a quick clean of the wheel.
Thanks Rocket !!! I'm really enjoying this mouse !!! Also note that you can use it with AAA rechargeable with a plastic AAA to AA shells and it reduces the weight even further. Also AA lithium is about 15 grams which gives a lot of weight options !
It's 104.8g with a lithium AA. I reckon it would be around 100g with a lithium AAA + adapter.
hows the sensor? as good as wired G403 ?
I bought a Logitech G403 Prodigy thanks to your research and hard work. It was 40 bucks too! What a steal. Keep up the great vids bro, love to see an Australian RUclipsr.
same bro, I got poisoned when I watch Zy review on G403 wireless even tho I already own G502 spectrum. And now I got 2 mouse because of him, thanks Zy, and curse you Zy.
LOL
lol, goddamn Zy
I'm using this mouse with a single energizer ultimate lithium battery. Has about 3500mAH and brings the weight down to 103grams.
Can you use it without batteries ?
@@Teddu- no
Got this a while back and I love it! No more recharging, one less wire to worry about, just keep some batteries around, just in case. Also they say it is 500Hours of constant gaming, I figure at least 3 months on Hi mode, but Then again I game on the Lo mode. :D I can tell the difference, but it doesn't affect me.
I recommend this to anyone who wants to go wireless, zero wires and no recharging.
So how long are your batterys lasting??, i just bought one and have 3 sets of eneloops waiting for the G603, and im with you in the gaming department, im a casual gamer nothing competitive, i just dont want the hassle of recharging and changing batterys all the time and a decent sensor.
The better questions is when they will run out? It's been with 3-4 months? still shows full battery. :D
WildStyle awsome, are you using the provided Duracell? I will probably run my first set on hi to se how far it goes than probably switch to low!
Yeah, they are good. I trust Duracell most out of all batteries. I have been running mostly Lo, but switching once in a while. And when it makes no difference aside from visual smoothness, I just go back to Lo. :D Sorta bad day of gaming switch to Hi hoping to play better, nope and whatever. Maybe if every single pixel mattered, but even on Lo you don't skip pixels, your mouse moves over to where it is supposed to, it just doesn't register that fast on screen when you turn fast.
WildStyle i think for me it will make even less difference since my monitor is a 60hz 5ms response, if a try low it will be on 8ms so even if my mouse is going 1ms my monitor cant keep up, i will only gain 3ms in real world.
Torn between the G305 or the G603. Definitely looking forward to wireless tho.
same here.
same here.
FreezYT you’ve probably already chose but you’ll love the g603
Man I have the same dilema right now. Guys please help me decide. :'D
Also I am reading a lot of scroll problem with the G603. Many bad reviews on Amazon for the G603, the G305 in other hand has a very good overall review rating and minimal unsatisfied reviews.
bought the G603 since my 5 year old G602 just died 2 days ago..and im so glad i made the right choice! thanks for the review!
purchased the 603 after watching this video and i love it i used to use an g503 with all of its weights and i do miss the tumb rest this wireless mouse is just awsome
I'm in love with g603!!
if you bought, is is good?
Perfect video for my question. Thank you
I got this mouse. The first one had a faulty scroll wheel, so i got a replacement in store. Now its all good. Great mouse- no lag, good shape for my palm. No problem with grip. Battery life is infinite. Moderately heavy, but can remove 1 battery. The G symbol on the back is fading tho
Why would you prefer the G403 over this? Please mention that briefly also.
Thanks for another excellent review mate.
For those wanting it lighter, im using this with an energizer lithium, that weighs about a third of the alkaline supplied and only using one of them, i have yet to weigh it, but feels good in hand, and im used to around a 90-95 gram weight for my mice. Just a heads up.
Yes, I have been preaching this for the last week. It's 104.8g.
yeh im def getting this, ive been hot swappin AA rechargables since ive had my 700s for the last couple years,IMO its LEAPS and bounds ahead of "rechargable" enclosed....battery where youre then forced to frag with a stiff charging cable or use a secondary option, as it charges....IM all about the rechargables and just poppen them in. Sure the design may be abit more janky than the quick swap the g700s enabled. but better than the g700s( continuity issues as time passed the pick up slam causes bottom battery enclosure to wind up disconecting the battery etc). Ill have to go to best-buy and do the last feel/grip test and see how the buttons actuate to really know if its the one. But at 50$ on sale, talking i could get a 403 for 35$ and a 603 for 50$ and it would still cost less than the 87$ on sale g703.......dont even get me started on the g pro wireless. Ive even seen the g pro wired going for 30$. To a gamer like me id rather have the 2 mice than the 1 703. But ive messed around with mice in my day traded friends for theirs etc.
Top reason I keep using my G403 are buttons. For me they are the top feature of this mouse, so removing it because of the removable shell seems dumb to me.
I been wanting this to carry around. A actual good mouse that also supports bluetooth sounds like the best thing.
How's Bluetooth vs wifi dongle input latency?
from what I read it's 2ms with the dongle (usb report rate + wireless "lightspeed" rate) and bluetooth is definitely not for gaming at 8-11ms
bluetooth mode definetely adds a noticable delay but it still is better than most of the non-gaming wireless mouse out there and you can play games casually.
Hi which is better, this or the G305?
I think this one because of the shape and the buttons
well i'm hella late on this but i'd go based on your hand size and weight preference, overall the g305 is a lot smaller and it can go as low as 82 grams with aaa lithium batteries, the g603 is a lot bigger and quite heavy but with an arguably better shape. However i had 2 seperate g603's and both broke down on me, because of the top shell being one piece of plastic i think i bent it just by normal use and it didn't sit snuggly at the back after a couple of months
First off, thanks for all the good videos. You should start including dimensions of the mice in your video descriptions. It is mildly irritating having to go back through the video to see weight/length/etc. Keep up the good work tho
people won't want to watch the video then. They just see description, then skip the video xD
Played a couple of quake live matches a couple of days ago, it feels so much better than quake champions...
Great review as always! Really hoping to see you review the new Roccat Aimo mouse even though it's quite heavy.
does hero sensor has smoothing over 2k dpi ? please make a video on turemove 3 vs hero specially focus on 3.2k dpi
Hero sensor 400ips 40g acceleration true move 3+ have 250ips 50g
Hello good sir, have you ever experienced the double click issue on the right or left mouse clicks that I hear everyone complaining about on Newegg and amazon?
Waiting patiently for the Rival 110 review!
my g603 copy has some springy sound on the side buttons and it really annoys me. any help?
Thanks for review RJN !
I've got this mouse today and I really like it. It will take some time to adjust to higher weight and different ergonomics than my old g400. But I really enjoy using wireless mouse with this high accuracy and hz. One question - do You (or anyone reading) happen to know if the mouse should be turned off when not using the pc ?
Thank you , good info 😃👍🏻
Hi. Your reviews is best in the world, thank you! Question: what is the best mouse for StarCraft 2(per hight APM). My hand 17.5/8.5 cm. Thanks and HF GL)))(now I have Corsair Shimitar but buttons very firm)
I got mine to 97g with a AAA battery and some tinfoil, it has around 180h of battery time.
Actually got it down to 88g now with some of the plastic removed
@@Dentiqz please elaborate
Swapping the battery for a lighter one is pretty simple, you can also remove the tentioning system for the top cover (three screws and its gone) the main mouse buttons also have plastic around them that you can unscrew. Some of the magnets holding the top coved are also not needed. All these changes are reversible and dont really change how the mouse feels, although you should be careful not to break anything
If logitech makes a new version of this mouse along with keeping the weight under 100 grams with only one battery design and give up on top removeble lid (it wiggles after some use) it will be the best wireless mouse. It still has the unrivaled battery life. After 2 monts of use my 603's single battery is stil full (i've been using it on perf. mode since i've bought it). So no need for power play or any other wireless charging tech.
I just went back to my g602 after using a deathadder for some months. The 602 is a great Mouse, I don’t know why I ever switched. This g603 might be my next Mouse, a part of me just wants to buy another g602 while they still make them.
Is there any difference in performance when using the mouse in bluetooth mode? Also thanks for the review!
Geronimo Yeah worse performance. Its intented for bt only devices.
I use a Bluetooth mouse with my laptop just to avoid dongles and it works fine for me. That is considering it is just a cheap HP mouse that was not meant for gaming. No dongles because it works with the Bluetooth most laptops come with these days.
G603 or G602 for game + editing? Why g603 don’t have many buttons like g602? Wish g602 has Bluetooth!
Rip weight..
Liangshi Xu 5g more than g403 wireless and u CAN buy ligher batteries this is with 1800 or more mah duracell alkalines wich are heavy, buy lifepo4 or li ions with a low capacity which are much lighter an u can get it close to 102g
anything above 95g is heavy for me.
im using heavily modified G102.
i want wireless, but i dont want heavy battery. damn.
what is that "heavily modified g102"?
switch, cable, feet, all modded.
can u post a photo?
So g603 or g703?
I play both mobas and FPS and i want a mouse that fits my hand well (16 cm ) any recommendations?
Why on any review nobody mentioned that Logitech software doesn't recognize the mouse when connected via Bluetooth, thus no configurations are being applied when you use bluetooth. I watched literally all the reviews and nobody mentioned it. I choose this mouse over the G403 exclusively because of Bluetooth feature but as you understand there is almost no use out of it without LG.
I have no way to test Bluetooth, sorry!
Has anyone recolored the removable part of the mouse? I was wondering because I want a white colored one. (G703 has one, but I like removable battery).
Would the G703 be a huge upgrade from a Steel series Kinzu v3 sensor wise?
Is this model on your website? I didn't see it
I'm amazed by how well you snipe with high sens Zy
Patiently waiting for the minos x5 review
Possibility of reviewing the Steelseries Rival 110? Been using the Rival 100 and loved it, but a better sensor would be great
Ugh. I prefer quieter peripherals. I didn't spend $300 on speakers to only hear the clack of keyboards and the clicks of mice. :/
Not sure why so many people seem to love it so much.
Because quiet buttons are often hard to tell if pressed. Anyway, Logitech is doing quiet models too, just not for gaming.
better feeling usually comes with the louder sound.
Rolfathan if you spend 300 on speakers why don’t you turn up the volume on those.. if mouseclicks interferes you’re doing something wrong
Buy a headphone will you ?
Is there a strong need to change my Asus ROG GX860 BUZZARD with @good@ lazer sensor to this Logitech G603 ?
Sergouny optical is better
do you always play on paper or glass surface? do you mind to bring any mousepads even small ones?
If you say on the first question, then stay on laser. If you say yes on the second question, then pick optical sensor which is G603.
Performance wise optical is commonly better than laser, but it can only be played on mousepads.
So lift off distance is equal to an uhd blueray disc?
WARNING: scroll wheel on this thing is finnicky, it scrolls to the opposite direction randomly on latest firmware. I'm not sure if it's the way I scroll or if it's a hw or sw issue
how does this compare to the razer atheris and the razer orochi?
looks good thank you
Is there really any reason to upgrade from a g303?
Zy, thoughts on reviewing the new CM Masterset MS121? I’ve been hearing good things about it.
Zy, Is ir possible that you do a comparison between the G403 wired and wireless?
I have already bought a G403 wired and am super happy with the design and performance. I want to have a wireless mouse that has similar performance to the G403 wired.
Watch the G403 review, it is a comparison.
Kind of more like a 3310 instead of a 3366. The tilt slam is the only thing that used to make the 3310 spin out, same applies to the hero.
Great review
Every review is awesome. 👌
I'd probably have bought a good mouse a long time ago if they didn't have high costs but eh quality comes with a cost. :/
Time Centaur Logitech g403
ᴡᴀʟsʜ Ω ayy lmao didn't know you watched RJN too xD (I also watch Immune)
Time Centaur huh
ᴡᴀʟsʜ Ω don't tell me you don't watch Immune. That's the exact same person commenting on his vid xD
Time Centaur no no immune is basically my babe just coincidence that the one person I respond to in a rjn video is someone who watches him haha
I'm using the g502 right now would it be worth the switch to the g603?
Probably not, the G502 is an expensive mouse with lots of features. It costs more than twice as much as the 603.
the g403 started having scroll wheel problems and now recently the left click randomly double clicks, its a shame since the mouse is really good. i'll buy this wireless one and send the 403 to the repair in the meantime. hope it doesnt have the same issues as the 403
very good mouse, loving it so far))
so i want a gaming mouse with 4 or more programmable buttons (i would be fine with 3) and i have small to medium hand size.
Would you recommend this, or G403 or G703? I'm considering getting a wireless gaming mouse, but I'm stuck between Razer & Logitech. I read some reviews about Razer Mamba wireless wasn't good due to the laser sensor, Lancehead is abit too expensive for me , so I'm stuck between this 2 big brands. Must I go wireless? Yes, I wanna go wireless. I want a long lasting value mouse, so do help me out fellows D:
I will go Logitech because i need lua script...
G703... still better for me...
G703. Has Powerplay functionality and updated Omron switches.
Thank you
Please reply, this or g502?
you can get it to 100 grams with an AAA battery and an adapter for it, which is around 5 grams lighter than the g703, do there's no point in buying the g703 if you don't mind the battery hassle
without the battery it's 89 grams, so if you find a battery under 10 grams it's going to be under 100 grams.
how many notches does this mouse have
why hasnt Logitech come up with a wireless version of their popular claw mice? G Pro, G303, etc?
not too concerned about the extra weight.. its the shape that counts
for some reason it seems like they have no issue making a wireless version of every other mice they have.
The Mercury is diferent Than the Hero?
Does this one work with Bluetooth? I have a laptop and I like a mouse that can connect to the laptop's Bluetooth connection. This way I don't need any dongles hanging out of the side of my laptop that are ugly. They are not just ugly but it is easy to bump them. Next thing you know you have an unreliable socket because of it being loose or broken. I do everything I can to avoid that but it can still happen. The best way to avoid it is to not have to plug things into them so much. What few times anything does plug into my sockets, I am careful not to have anything pulling up or down or to the sides, I just plug it in and try to avoid it. I do not like loose sockets at all if I could have avoided them. I don't need power play or to recharge the mouse, most of the ones I had are not bad with battery life and I even had those awful dollar store batteries!! You will know when you see them, they are those ones that are so light they feel cheap. That is it feels like there is not much "stuff" in them by comparison to a more expensive one. You get what you pay for they say!
Have you done a review for the Corsair k65 lux Rgb keyboard ?
Are the sides still rubberized like the g403? Or or they just plastic now
Plastic
Dammit. I'm trying to decide between two mice. The g305 and the g603. I'm gonna use aaa to aa adapter so weight isnt a concern for me. I don't have issues will tilt slam, so both sensors are perfectly fine for me. I know that the g603 has better ergonomics in general, compared to the g305 with bulging sides. So my decision will depend on build quality and shape.
When I'm playing fps games like csgo and quake champions, I tend to have a hybrid grip of palm and claw. Judging by your review, the g305 is better suited for my hands. However,when I use my computer for non fps games or just simply browsing and video editing, I use more of a palm grip. The g603 is the perfect shape for palm grip from your reviews.
So i'm trying to factor every positive and negatives of each mouse to try and make my decision. But thanks Zy. Your reviews are honestly the best, since you cover all of the information needed for a mouse review. Honestly the best reviewer for RUclips. Thanks alot.
wired doesnt affect my gameplay at all due to my set up of sticking wires down a curved table edge. others use bungies. i dont see why i would buy wireless mice that need recharging and weigh more. even if it charges thru mousepad, that means i have more things to plug in and more things using up electricity
can this mouse scroll horizontally? (side scrolling)?
No
Question, for people that use the mouse, does the lack of rubber side grips effect you?
Not really you don't really notice it unless you're trying to
Nope
sometime it makes me want to get G703
I really hesitate between G603 and G403 (wire), they have only 10€ difference :o
Same problem here, but G603 with rechargeable eneloops AA or AAA with foil (lower weight) seems better.
I don't know what to get. G403 or G603 :/
Hey, wich one you picked finaly? How do you like it?
Is there any battery rattle?
you my good sir, is nothing but awesome!
Can anyone tell me if there’s a wired version of this?
If the new sensor is 10 times more battery efficient with the same performance, why didn't they just put it on the G403/G900 and get 10 days of usage instead of 1 in a single charge?
Could someone reccommand me a good gaming mouse with a solf click pressure. I play POE and it make my arm hurt cause of too much clicking.
Or maybe a way to mod switches for softer clicks? I'd love that.
Everyone loves the clicks of the G303.
Old Deathadders are really sensitive too, dunno about the new ones.
Also both of my friends who have tried it, have issues with the DM1 Pro S clicks being too sensitive.
The G Pro's buttons are light as fuck
The G Pro's buttons are light as fuck
My g502 have really light clicks, even lighter than the latest g403 batches.
Does it interfere with wifi?
What is the white one?
What about two non rubberised sides.?
3366 or HERO?
tracking wise no difference but the battery life on hero is simply AMAZING.
Can i use 1.2V Battery ?
Will you do a review on the hyperx cloud alpha?
Hey Zy!! Are you a low sensitivity player?
Yes
I have this mouse, and I think is prety light, even with the two AA bateries
is it worth upgrading from g403 wired?
If you have big hands, then yes. But if you have medium hamd size i recomend the gpro or the g305 wireless.
Are you the owner of My Smash Corner also?? the voice is identical
Zy, can you review the g90?
