I've been eyeing on another low-profile non-RGB wireless mouse with bluetooth connectivity and takes AA batteries for continuous WFH after my Razer Basilisk X Hyperspeed
lost its (blue)tooth
I missed out on the Catch pricing error on Boxing day and have been tracking its price

This is the lowest price on Camel^3

    Good historical price is sub $60, if you're waiting for a deal - keep waiting.

      Yes, totally agree. : )
      I don't see it coming cheaper anytime soon due to the global supplies disruptions and chip shortage,
      I got one while my Basilisk is still running on its hyperspeed wireless

      certainly not for everyone because the G703, G Pro and occasional G903 are really attractive, if not better alternatives

      The G603 appeal to my niche requirement being low-profile, non-RGB and runs on AA to meet my WFH expectations

    Can someone please justify an expensive gaming mouse without using sarcasm or making a third party joke? I can do a research on this but since it is showing up a lot on OB, I would appreciate one or two thoughts on this? Thank you in advance.

      I switched to the gaming mouse because when I was using the Logitech unifying receiver (back when pre-WFH), there's always heaps of wireless interference and got to a point where my MX mice weren't tracking
      and my work gave us el cheapo $5 optical mouse that flicks everywhere

      so I switched over to the gaming mouse to avoid the wireless interference
      also, I enjoyed the ergonomics when compared to a standard issued office mouse, just a hand/palm-shape personal preference, no right or wrong

      What do you define as expensive?

      As someone who works (WFH/Office) or games (at the same desk when WFH) most hours of the day, I don't really see 'expensive' peripherals as 'expensive'. Monitors, you stare at daily all day (buy quality IPS panels, please), keyboards, you type thousands of words daily. You make thousands of minor adjustments for mice throughout the day.

      If there's a particular mouse that meets your requirements, whether it's expensive or not, it's just something you buy as an extension of your workspace/yourself.

      I personally use an MX Master 3 for work, then swap to a G502 Wireless. Both well over 100 bucks each.

      You can absolutely get away with cheaper mice or peripherals, but I LOVE the hyperscroll function on Logitech mice, and use it for work/general use all the time.

      The G502 has the hyperscroll, suits my hand well, and importantly, for me is wireless.

      • GuestShopper on 11/02/2022 - 10:05

        Wow, you folks really know what you want. I am a teacher and I only use basic mice in a day due to switch of classrooms. I believe the ignorance is bliss for me at the moment…

          I wish I am in your position to tell you the truth

          but I was getting tendonitis using the work standard issue el cheapo $5 optical mouse day in and day out, so I started throwing money at my problem(s)

          Good for you if what you have is working for you! : )

          • GuestShopper on 11/02/2022 - 14:27

            @frkino: I am definitely up for a health standard issued mouse. When I had a chat with an officeworks guy regarding the comfort, he couldn't say anything solid but I am just glad that his overall speech made me put back the $4 J Burrows.

      • starburstyellow on 11/02/2022 - 10:09

        Agreed! I personally use a MX master 3 for work then switch to a g pro x super light for gaming recently. I'm WFH primarily and use my computer all the time so easily justifiable to set it up best and most comfortable as possible. So money wasn't an issue.

        Side note man this g pro is crazy good. Didn't realise what I was missing. Was previously using a razer death adder corded mouse.

      I had this mouse and I really loved the weight and feel of it, the extra buttons and felt responsive. It was great for my day to day work as well as gaming every other time. My only suggestion with this mouse is to keep the receipt and register your warranty (with any product you buy I guess).

      Somewhere along the way though the mouse scroll wheel started acting up. Whenever I tried to scroll up or down it would flicker in the opposite direction and it got really annoying. If you google G603 scroll wheel issues lots of people have the same problem.

      Logitech will replace it for you if you have the receipt and are under warranty so there is a bit of peace of mind there. I lost my receipt so I wasn't able to unfortunately!

        I was going to leave a neg review but you have already highlighted the exact thing that happened to me. Now I have 2 mice, one with a working scroll wheel and one without… Not sure how long before this wheel fails.

      • dazzles on 11/02/2022 - 11:27

        I swapped it after about 10 months Then the next one had same issues after 7-8 months. Ended up getting a refund

      Usually expensive gaming mice have one of 2 features; lots of extra buttons, or a focus on excessively light.

      Those are only of value to a very select group; which is why these cheap sub $100 mice are popular.

      Even back when PCs specs made a notable difference (pentium3 vs pentium 4 with HT), I used to sacrifice all for hard specs; until I had an older computer tech teach me something very correct;

      You only interact with 3 (sometimes 4) things. Keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers.

      If you get a customer the BEST specs, but using the input/output tools is crap; then the new PC feels crap.

      Ergo;
      Nice middle ground.
      $60 cheapie is a 'good mouse' without splurging on expensive gaming mice like the G pro, or the Glorious brand.

    • ywpn on 11/02/2022 - 10:53

      I bought this mouse a year ago coming from a Logitech MK545 set.

      Depending on your use case (e.g., gaming), the price is justifiable relative to the price of the non-G series - but generally, I personally think Logitech keyboards and mice are overpriced but whatever.

      The reason it's justifiable is the higher DPI sensors in the G-series vs non-G. So if you're scrolling horizontally across the screen, the higher DPI mouse with lower sensitivity/cursor speed scrolls over more pixels (so you can maybe land a headshot better) than a lower DPI mouse with high sensitivity/cursor speed.

      Sometimes you're playing FPS and you swear you landed a headshot with your lower DPI & high sensitivity/cursor speed mouse - visually, it looks like you did, but the data in your mouse might have "glazed over" the pixels where the head was whilst a higher DPI mouse would have actually scrolled on top of the head and landed the headshot.

      That's just my take without any research. I could be talking s*** so please downvote if I'm completely wrong.

      For everyday non-gaming use, it's a similar experience to the MK545 set I had.

    • JS1 on 11/02/2022 - 12:52

      For years I had been using a Microsoft Basic wired mouse, simply because I liked the ergonomics, low weight, and I didn't think I needed extra buttons. The only real complaint that I had was that in some games and programs, I'd be trying to click on some tiny little thing or adjust the position of something by like a single pixel or two and I would run into issues of it sort of jumping / skipping >1 pixel.

      So I decided to bite the bullet and get a gaming mouse; I wanted:
      1. DPI toggles so I could go between regular mouse movements and a "fine" movement (move the physical mouse a lot and the mouse on the screen doesn't move much)
      2. "Zero" latency wireless, because my PC is hooked up to my TV and I want to be able to use the mouse away from the desk
      3. No RGB
      4. Something that uses AA batteries (so I can hotswap Eneloops rather than be forced to hook the mouse up to a USB cable)
      5. Something with seamless mouse buttons (ruling out a lot of gaming mice) so it'd be easier to clean and avoid getting dead skin / oil in various seams or edges.

      So I bought a second hand G603 off Ebay for something like $70 AUD and while it took a little adjustment at first (it's notably larger and heavier than a MS Basic mouse) I've loved it; I went with Logitech because I have one of their headsets so I didn't need an extra program for configuring settings on it.

      Things I've also somewhat unexpectedly enjoyed:

      1. The extra buttons are super useful in some games; the only use I have for them outside of games is as a back / forward button on web browsers and windows explorer though.
      2. I rely heavily now on the DPI toggle capability, and not just in games; if I need to draw a diagram or do CAD design work it's super useful for getting things just right.
      3. The battery life has been better than expected; it'll go 4+ months between swapping AAs on the "low" polling rate mode (polling rate = frequency of it sending mouse position updates); I also kinda prefer the low polling rate, just because in fast-action shooters, etc it's what I'm acclimatised to.
      4. The Bluetooth functionality (toggled with a button on the bottom of the mouse) has been useful; I had a small BT mouse for my laptop but it broke down; now I just use the same mouse for my desktop and laptop.

      Do note however that the G603 has a mouse wheel issue; my 2nd hand mouse started encountering it after ~12 months but I've been getting by; I'm in the process of getting some spare slip-pads ("skates") so I can open it up and try and fix the issue with some cleaning or repairs if necessary.

      Do you need an "expensive" gaming mouse? If your current mouse is working fine then I guess probably not, but if you do make the switch you may find some quality of life improvements that make it feel justified in hindsight (I personally will never go back to a basic mouse for my main gaming / work at home machine unless I need an immediate back-up mouse).

    • Kinjiru on 11/02/2022 - 13:54

      These mice are targeted towards gamers, and in particular for those who play competitive games. If you are not a gamer, there may be limited differentiators (although several people have posted their reasons below). The key differences between gaming mice and normal mice are:

      The sensor used in gaming mice are MUCH more sensitive and accurate to allow you to be pixel perfect when "flicking" (Snapping your mouse cursor) or tracking. A normal mouse is simply nowhere near as accurate. It will move your mouse to the vicinity but not to the pixel you want (which is important to maximise your aim and for shooting heads in game).

      Their polling rate (how often they are sending a signal to the PC (and therefore the game) is much more often. My mouse sends 1000 updates to the PC every second. Again, gamers want to optimise every little thing that they do, and having a mouse that send its movement to the computer 1000 times a second does that..

      Lastly, it is thought that having a light mouse is good as your hand is constantly moving and whipping the mouse around.

      Think of your favourite sport. No doubt that there is gear etc. that you can buy to optimise your game. E.g. in football, cricket or basketball, you have equipment that you use (such as boots/shoes). Whilst you can technically use a normal sneaker, the reality is that serious players will have proper footie, cricket or basketball shoes. The same thing for competitive gaming (e-sports). People spends loads of money on their hobby/sport as they feel it might give them a slight edge. It is no different with games.

      Hope that helps.

            @Munki: I'm one of these people. Also, I find when I play RTS games, or do any tasks that require precision, the heftier nature of the g502 is beneficial. Couldn't care less about "RGB" personally. Maybe 20 years ago I would've though.

      I shared a comment on it above, but when its working, its great. Feels weighty and intuitive. However it succumbed to malfunction after a couple of years just like a lot of other owners of this mouse where it would stutter in the opposite direction you were scrolling. If you google G603 scroll wheel problem you'll see what I mean. If you're under warranty Logitech will/should replace it. I think the newer batch of this mouse has addressed this issue but best keep the receipt just in case.

        Funny how I keep reading about these issues with Logitech products, yet my 10+ years old G19 keyboard and G9x mouse are still going strong. Do they really not make them like how they used to?

        I'll have to see how my G915 keyboards go and the G Pro Wireless mouse. Not very inspiring.

        • CrunchyOJ on 11/02/2022 - 10:41

          Agreed! I've got a wireless mouse and keyboard with a unifying receiver that I bought 10 years ago that's working well to this day, but the G603 mouse and (more recently) G613 keyboard I had issues with. The keyboard would double type and stutter, even after cleaning it out etc but that also seemed like a common problem for that model. Made typing passwords a pain at times lol

  • georgegates5 on 11/02/2022 - 10:22

    is the bluetooth on this good? (like stable connection and smooth mouse movement)

    I have tried two mouses on the macbook pro m1 and bluetooth on it is finicky
    (Steelseries rival 3 wireless [return it], currently have the razer hyperspeed basilisk but using bluetooth on macbook pro m1 is not smooth/jerky)

    • frkino on 11/02/2022 - 10:42

      hey mate, I believe it has more to do with how Apple runs its bluetooth/wifi chip than the mouse

      I WFH and run a macbook pro and a surface book pro,
      I use a Razer Basilisk, a Corsair Ironclaw (returned and replaced), Dark Core Pro RGB, they all have bluetooth and they are all jerky when paired with my macbook pro , changed DPI and the same behaviour across manufacturers

      • georgegates5 on 11/02/2022 - 12:48

        you on macbook pro m1 as well or the intel version?

        funny enough, my old macbook pro 2012 cant seem to pickup the razer basilisk bluetooth when in pairing mode. but the old steelseries rival 3 (which i return) seems to work fine.

    The bulkiness and heaviness of this mouse takes awhile to get used to.
    But once you're used to it, it's fine.

    For FPS gaming, it's generally pretty good. The only downside is (because of the bulk and weight), it's not as easy to do quick flicks.
    I also have a G305 mouse and for me personally it's easier to play FPS with than a G603.

    However, some people do prefer heavier mice but IMO, lighter is better.

    You think 100g or whatever won't make a difference for gaming, but it does - particularly for FPS.

    This has been my mouse for 3-4 years now. It's fantastic except the scroll wheel. It develops an issue where the scroll wheel will sometimes suddenly move the opposite direction especially when scrolling fast. I believe it's an issue of many Logitech G mice. I believe it has something to do with the wheel's axle wearing out and generally appears about ~1.5 years of use. I replaced my scroll wheel late 2020 and it worked good as new but has been occasionally exhibiting the issue again. I bought a spare wheel for when it becomes really bad again
    One great feature is the ability to switch between bluetooth or USB dongle connection. Really awesome if you have a laptop and don't need to take the dongle from the main PC as well as use up a USB slot by just switching to BT connection

    • Crimzic on 11/02/2022 - 11:41

      For me (like for many others), the scroll wheel issue was caused by the failing encoder; Logitech had a bad batch of them and the issue plagued lots of these mice. Mine has worked fine for a couple of years after its replacement. Search for "TTC 9mm mouse encoder" if you are interested.

    I had this mouse for 2 years, but I never liked it. The sensor was good, but the wheel was abysmal, and I just didn't find it comfortable for my handshape. I had to dual mouse it with a MX Master 2S for daily use, and the G603 just sitting on my desk for when I needed to do gaming.
    Since I replaced it with a G604 and haven't looked back. I love the G604 - it has replaced both the previous mice, and it is as good for productivity as the MX Master 2S, and better for gaming than the G603.

  • spiinl on 11/02/2022 - 11:52

    • John Doh on 11/02/2022 - 11:58

  • JS1 on 11/02/2022 - 12:24
    +1

    Really tempted to get this; I've got a G603 currently but it has the infamous scroll issue mentioned above. Taking off the top cover and hitting the wheel hub with electrical contact cleaner fixes it, but only for a few hours or a day. I'd like to properly inspect and clean it but the screws to fully disassemble it are under the teflon skates, so I'm waiting for replacement skates to arrive from some Ebay store before I potentially destroy the ones already on the mouse.

    As for why I still like the mouse - it's wireless, affordable, has good ergonomics for me, excellent battery life on the "low" polling rate mode, doesn't have annoying RGB lights, has Bluetooth that can easily be swapped to with a button on the bottom (I use it for both my desktop via lightspeed and laptop via BT), and somewhat importantly for me, has bend-style mouse buttons instead of separate plastic panels that are susceptible to getting dead skin and oils in the seams / gaps. I've considered going with something like a wireless Razer Deathadder but I've also heard plenty of complaints about Razer's software being terrible bloatware.

    • GuestShopper on 11/02/2022 - 13:00

      When you said the dead skin, I immediately recalled those second hand Facebook gaming mice.

    I've been using one of these for hours on end daily for 2.5 years, no issues at all, other than the fact that the Logitech logo as worn off :)
    I must have got lucky, my scroll wheel is still fine (Touch wood)

    I love how it takes AAs and I only have to change them every few months, unlike the G703 I had that needed to be charged every couple of days, even with RGB off.

    This also supports BlueTooth as well as LightSpeed, which can be handy. I have the G613 keyboard as well, that also has the same great battery life and BlueTooth support.

      Definitely yes through the Logitech G Hub; maybe also from the OS itself.
      Overall, the mouse shape is not symmetrical (curved inside on the left, where these side buttons are) so might be not the best choice for left handed users.

      • Boodek on 11/02/2022 - 14:02

        Thanks, I might look at one of the other Logitechs instead.

  • Hornpub on 11/02/2022 - 17:37

    what is the weight?

    • JS1 on 11/02/2022 - 17:57

      According to Logitech's website:

      88.9g empty
      112.3g with 1x AA
      135.7g with 2x AA

      Keep in mind of course that AA batteries can weight slightly different amounts. Anecdotally it's a somewhat heavy mouse compared to a standard Microsoft / Dell / HP / etc mouse you'd see on a school or work machine, but you definitely acclimatise to it - I rarely play 'twitch shooters' like Counter Strike (never played Fortnight or Apex Legends) and I'm no esports prodigy (too old for that anyway), but I'm usually in the top quarter of the scoreboard when playing competitive shooters like Halo 3 / Reach / Infinite, so I personally don't find it to be any kind of hindrance.

  • Pancake Moon on 12/02/2022 - 11:18

    This is the best mouse I think

  • majimaji on 12/02/2022 - 19:06

    I've owned this mouse for a couple years. It isn't half bad, though I did have some things I didn't personally like. The texture of the shell is quite slippery compared to other mice, which may bother some people. Also, since the whole top is removable to insert batteries, said top kinda wiggled? while gripping it. That might've been just a defective unit I got - not sure. The scroll wheel and middle click button I personally liked, but the left and right clicking sounds are quite loud. Finally, for gaming I'd use the dongle over Bluetooth - it was much faster. I ended up switching over to the wired g502 hero, which I think is a better fit for my grip style.
