Granted, the optional 10-gram weight only makes the bulkiest of the three even heavier. However, the G403 clocks in a few bucks cheaper than the other options and is the only one with customizable weight.

Corsair Axon and Razer’s proprietary sensors still outclass Logitech from a pure polling perspective.

The G403 remains a strong mouse despite some software quibbles, and you may be able to circumvent these problems by using alternative software. Still, these few negative qualities are mostly related to the software and not necessarily the mouse itself. The G403 doesn’t have many weaknesses, but the ones it does have sometimes combine to make each other worse. Someone out there has lost a ranked game or two due to that, and we feel sorry for them. Binding it to anything important runs the risk of accidentally increasing your DPI instead of a potentially game-winning play. Remember how the RGB reverts to default without G HUB? The same is true for the DPI switch bind. Speaking of that DPI switch, it’s really more of a nuisance than anything else. Its awkward location is meant to prevent gamers from accidentally changing their sensitivity during gameplay, but that also makes it inaccessible when you actually want to press it. Aside from the thumb buttons, which most games can already rebind, the only option here is the DPI switch. It’s not clear if the problems stem from the G403 specifically or the Logitech program, but there are several software issues that should be brought up in an honest review.Ĭustomizable buttons are prominently featured in the Logitech G HUB, but the G403’s lack of extra buttons makes it difficult to actually use. Gaming peripheral companies can make amazing hardware, but they often seem to fall short when it comes to software. G403 cons include strange software, small feature set Players who hover their palms and use only their fingertips can also manage, but it might be difficult for those with smaller hands. A claw-style grip with the wrist resting on the Logitech logo is just as comfortable as leaving the entire palm resting on the mouse. The G403 has plenty of real estate to work with. Lastly, the G403 has a strong niche even among gaming mice in that it is well-suited for almost every grip. The braided cable is probably the weakest link, but it still holds up well after 24 rigorous months of testing. We have had zero problems with the hardware. The 25k HERO sensor tracks flawlessly with consistent performance across genres. In our experience, the G403 holds up much better than a SteelSeries Rival or Razer Deathadder. The shine is gone on the thumb rest, but there is no shallow dent or scratch of any kind. After more than two years of use, our G403 has barely worn away on any high-contact surfaces like the thumb rest or click buttons. When it comes to the best features of the Logitech G403, the build quality immediately stands out as the star of this review. The best features of the Logitech G403 HERO The G403 is fairly light thanks to its wired connection and lack of features, but it’s still slightly heavier than some similarly-priced options. For reference, Logitech’s premier Superlight clocks in at 63 grams. Lastly, the mouse comes with an optional 10-gram weight that can be inserted on the bottom towards the wrist. The Logitech G HUB software also has a macro function, but it appears to be either broken or just difficult to use. The buttons themselves can also be reprogrammed to serve other functions, which is most useful for the thumb buttons and DPI switch. Then again, it seems a little dangerous to place that on a mouse button. Buttons can be assigned to disable microphones, record replays, or even activate streaming. Logitech mice also feature optional integration with Overwolf, Discord, and OBS.
