it has been four years since i've tested a new mass out because what can i say when you find
something you like why continue testing just for the sake of testing hello i am Wanderer001
and this is my review of the logic g203 lightsync this is very similar to the logitech g203 prodigy
but you might notice it's doing something that the prodigy can't and that's the big difference
between the two this one has an rgb lighting mechanism this is a what i'm going to call it may
get some flak for a intro gaming mouse it can be used as an everyday mouse which is actually what
my wife is using it for because she's the one who is in need of a new mouse when i say this is the
most basic of mice let me show you the packaging that you actually get it's logitech has definitely
streamlined the process it's a cardboard box with basic information and the mouse itself speaking of
the mouse itself you are looking at pretty much just flat matte plastic all the way around there
are no grippy surfaces on this anywhere and some people might enjoy that i prefer a little more
texture when when i'm grabbing a mouse but the flat matte plastic does offer a little texture
to it it's not rubberized or anything like that but it is rough enough that you can kind of get a
grip on it as you can see it does pick up uh sweat a little bit and you kind of see gloss from actual
use so it will show where that's not terrible in any way shape or form the top of it you have
four programmable buttons you have your left click your right click your center which
normally is to change your dpi out and then your scroll wheel which also acts as a click
now we'll bring that scroll wheel up into frame you can see it is it is a little dusty
uh and that's the problem this is rubberized as it has a center click but no left right click
it is a nice large wheel so you do have a lot to grip onto and like i said it's it's thicker than
most scrolling wheels so that is a nice feature although as you can see it does collect dust quite
easily as mentioned that is your dpi but that can be all changed in software which we will
talk about a little later you have your left and right click and i do like the very large channels
that you have you'll notice that there is a slight if i can get that to focus right a slight slope so
your finger kind of slides in there very nicely and i'll show you the actual click sound of this
but it does have a very satisfying click sound and feel and it is a very nice large
channel for both your fingers to rest in which i greatly appreciate coming back to the back of the
mouth you do get a nice little hump back here so that if you are doing your standard resting
grip you know you're going to palm that very nicely you'll notice even with
small to medium medium-sized hands i'll probably go more on the small
i kind of have two fingers that are off the mouse itself and really only have the two and
then palmed over on the side you do not have any real indent for the side of the mouse where your
forward and back buttons are these again are programmable can't be changed they're easy to
find but they kind of blend into the rest of the mouse in that they're just smooth plastic so i
haven't found myself missing the buttons because you know they're large enough but they definitely
don't have the tactile feel or rubberized texture that i'd be looking for for something on the side
the right side of the mouse there is nothing to look at just the textured plastic as we talked
about before front of the mouse you have a wired connection this wired connection here is plugged
into my computer so i'm not able to grab as much as i would like there so that we get that nice
cool lighting effect the cable itself is just about six feet in length i like the fact that it
is not the braided cable i i never liked braided cables so i'm happy that this is not braided it's
a nice pliable rubberized material so you will get some ben it is thinner than some of the mice that
i've had in the past form logitech and i'm happy they're kind of shrinking that down make things
a little nicer on the back the big accent piece is the large logitech g and swoosh back here which is
pulsating through the rgb possibilities which will be covered in the software flipping the mouse over
to the bottom here we have four and one around the sensor ptfe feet which is pretty much like teflon
feet for smoother mousing and the durability on these supposedly by logitech is 250 kilometers i
can say as long as you're using this on a mouse pad you should be fine if you're using it on a
slightly harder surface you will wear these down a little faster the sensor on this is not terrible
it's not great either for the budget price that you're paying for this you're looking at a between
200 to 8000 dpi with this particular sensor flip this over to go over some of the specifications
which i probably should have covered earlier you have a height of 4.5 inches in length
you have a width of 2.4 and a depth at the highest point here in the back of 1.5 so it is a
small to medium-sized mouse the weight is also 2.99 ounces or 85 grams so it is
a very lightweight mouse like really really light there is no way to add weight to this
via inserted weights so just know that this is the package that you're getting there is
onboard memory with this which will allow you to program all of your buttons and change the light
sync you've got two options with this you either have the logitech g hub which is generally what
most people use with this or there's actually the onboard memory hub that you can get from logitech
so depending on what you actually want to do with this mouse whether you're using it on your primary
gaming device or if you're going to be taking this with you you have two software choices
so why don't we actually take a look at the two software options that we can utilize
with this mouse we are going to start things off looking at the logitech g hub here we can see
got my mouse plugged in i select the mouse i want to activate and here we have dpi settings
so you could set your points for dpi all along this bar you could drag drop wherever you need
you've got your defaults here you can assign to a mouse and then you have
report rate per response i have it set at 1000 right now you can also select restore default
settings for everything with the mouse we're going to come over here to assignment because
this is where you're going to be able to actually assign a option for all the six mouse buttons
obviously you would select the mouse button that you want to do and then you can come in
here and you can select from a whole bunch of presets as to what that mouse button will do
you also have options for key binding and actions here you'll notice that it is accessible with
overwolf discord and obs which is awesome we also have the ability to create macros so if
you need to create macros for your mmorpg here's how you can set up a new macro type the name of
the macro we're not going to go through that just know that you can create macros using this mouse
system again here we go lots of options for us for assigning system controls to the mouse
moving along to the light sync because this is definitely what you're here for this is why you
bought this instead of the prodigy we've got our presets we have lots of different effects so we
can turn this off we can cycle or we can fix so fixed means you will and this is exactly what
it looks like on the mouse as i'm using it fixes a solid state color you can change that color as
you wish so if we wanted to make that red there you go now it's fixed at red selecting cycle is
what you were watching while i was filming it's going to cycle through all the possible colors
you have your rate change and your brightness breathing again you could specify your color
and it will do exactly what it's doing here you'll have that fade in and fade out effect color wave
well here we go it's going to do a horizontal in this case colorway we can do a reverse horizontal
but you'll notice that it's going to shift from left to right color waving color blend here you go
blending of the color so blue to purples reds to pinks you get the idea moving on
audiovisual so this is going to be listening to your computer to match the sound that hears
playing music video games things like that and have your your mouse visualize those sounds you
have your advanced settings here i won't go through these but just know that's what it's
at i'm going to go back to cycle just so we have something to look at you've got your option for
freestyle so you have effect you can add a new effect here you can obviously see we could change
the color of the effects and here you've got your particular lighting zones that you can set so
i want to have hypothetically a red effect here on this one here i want more of a green effect there
and then over on this one we will set a yellowish so there we go you can see that is a particular
lighting effect on the screen it doesn't look as good but i promise the effect on the mouse itself
i'll insert a picture of actually what that looks like and i will say
hopefully the picture does it justice because it actually is kind of a cool effect you also
have your ability for animations you've got here we go the first time i popped over into this one
ocean wave red white and blue so again what you see on screen is exactly what the mouse is doing
and then you can cycle random bounce all that i think you get the idea of what you can do with
the color effects here now if you wanted to move to the onboard memory instead of using
the g-hub what you have to do is come up to the upper left-hand corner select the sprocket
and then you select on-board memory on and then this device will turn to onboard memory we now
move over to the next piece of software which is which is the onboard memory from here you can see
this is the mouse we currently have selected we've got profile one we have our dpi set points we also
actually have an extra one right there we can see our refresh rate we can see the light is cycling
on this particular screen you can't see that but if we wanted to we can select off and then hit
save and what that will do is no longer will the mouse cycle through that's actually how my
wife prefers it we have our button assignments here when you are using your onboard memory you
cannot change left click and right click but you can change every other mouse button so here you
go you've got drop down options for each and every one of those which is great and then you can also
select identify button which means if i press it it will tell you exactly what button it is you can
also enable default or change it to g shift which will pretty much blank everything out and let you
change everything i recommend default because you kind of need that left click and right click but
that has been the logitech g hub and the onboard memory controls for the logitech g203
lightsync as you saw from the two software options there's lots of customization you can
do with this basic mouse and i keep saying that this is a basic mouse because i feel
compared to some of the other mice over there in the corner that i've reviewed and it's called them
intro gaming mice this is definitely one so who is this mouse for well i'm going to say this is for
anybody who's looking for like i said an intro gaming mouse but also anybody who's looking for
an everyday mouse my wife uses this primarily for her computer at home but she's doing a lot
of things from video editing to gaming to actual like clerical work spreadsheets things like that
this nice thick mouse wheel on the front there is great for that the biggest plus for this mouse and
why it's a great mouse in my opinion is the price depending on where you pick this up and if there's
any sales you can get this between 30 and 15 that 15 keep an eye on amazon they have sales all the
time in fact that's when we picked this one up her mouse was going out we needed a new mouse
amazon had a lightning deal on it picked it up for 15 for 15 you can't go wrong with this 30 it's
still a good mouse 15 it is an exceptional amount so i'll have a link to this in the description
area below for amazon keep an eye on it look out for those sales when it's on sale i would jump
on this because like i said if you're looking for a little flare for the classic g203 prodigy
and at the price point of 15 you're going to find that very difficult to beat with that being said
