Been using the G903 for a few months and has easily been one of the best mice I have ever used.
Nicholas Morales
good call. Also I'd like to apologize for the software, it's literally made by a bunch of college kids.
Brandon Jones
You're god damn right it is, almost as bad as corsair's. I have a g502
Colton Smith
Needs more DPI otherwise I'd still be using mine.
Andrew Allen
Yeah I don't blame you, I use 400-800 DPI when playing vidya so it suits me.
Bentley Cox
Thank you, the software isn't the worst. Especially since I can use the mouse for 3 days then only need to charge it for like an hour.
Luke Jones
What i mean is the pros out way the cons by far in short.

I see the g300 a lot in "best mice" articles.
Asher Perry
>Im detecting a trend here
Lincoln Collins
Wait, actually? I've got a G300S and I've been seriously thinking about replacing it. I came from an MX510 followed by a G500, both of which broke horribly after many years of use (the MX510 lasted like a decade though), and the G300S is easily my least favourite of the three.
Was actually thinking of using the cable and some of the scroll wheel parts from the 300S to repair the 500, cos that thing was a goddamn beast despite having the shittest cable of all time.
Dominic Gray
Yeah no I'm serious I always hear about the G5, MX510, and G300 in threads about favorite mice
Jacob Morgan
Don't worry, they don't pay their marketing team enough to shill here.
Christian Lee
>regardless of better versions being [released]
I fucking wish, fucking Logitech
>refuses to make another model claiming it didn't sell well, yet is a cult classic, competitors have similar models, and their own lineup lacks any variety whatsoever
>mouse continues to work fine anyways
It's like a they don't want money.

MX 518 /thread

G5 thread? Mine's laser went out maybe 6-7 years ago, opened a ticket with logitech begging for a fix no matter the price. Gave me a sad no and 50% off anything in the store code, ended up getting the G9x, about equal in my opinion but damn I miss that mouse.

I don't use the force feedback, but I do love the weight of it. Plus the clicks and scroll are perfect.
Joshua Hughes
I can understand the MX510, cos they last forever, and the G5, cos it's basically just a laser version of the MX518, but the G300 just feels like a $20 plastic china mouse with extra buttons, for lady hands.
Gah, fuck it, I'm fixing my G500s
Joshua Powell
using it right now
Austin Bennett
Good to hear; snagged one off eBay for $15.00 before S&H
James Rivera
it's like mouse porn
Nolan Gray
yeah, interracial porn
cos I'm only interested in half of those involved
Jeremiah Price
Mx518... 10 years and still working like the first day :')
Kayden Rodriguez
I loved that mouse. It fit perfectly into my hand. Eventually the cable detached from inside the mouse though. I wish they would have never given up that shape.
Noah White
Is this the reason I see so few g5/mx518’s for “parts” on eBay
Juan Wilson
they don't seem to pay enough to their software developers either
>2014
>bought g100s - got a perfectly serviceable mouse, albeit not too ergonomic
>2018
>decided to try g pro
>"hurr durr we'll just cut this feature of separate axis DPI setup and give middle finger for ANYBODY asking"
Support guy said that they can't reach out software developers to escalate the issue and bring back the feature. That's right - a company called after something logical doesn't have a solid contact line between support team and software development dpt.
Seriously, fuck Logitech for acting like degenerates - will never buy anything from them.
Eli Green
you seem like a cool guy from nipponu who undoubtedly saw that Akira Kurosawa's movie about shoe factory owners arguing about reducing the quality of their shoes in order to sell shoes every 6 months instead of 6 years and establish regular stream of revenue
So, the only thing they want the most is the Money and that's the reason why they've stopped selling either this mouse or mx518 - they were just too good for the market (in that regard, they didn't lie that it didn't sell well... of course it fucking didn't - hardly any unit has died after two years of use!)
Alexander Torres
Just bought MX Master 2S. How fucked am I?
Cameron Ward
Nah, make marginal model upgrades like upgrading it to an optical sensor, optional wireless, (or unfortunately) add moar LEDs and change to the edgy G branding. I'd happily buy a new one even if my old one still worked (in fact I have an original G9 too) if they'd bother supporting their customers with these features. Instead I got the finger from the reps I talked to, so now I replace cosmetic parts on mine infinitum for lack of a better option.
If they instead made products with a planned obsolescence as you imply, like fucking Mad Catz is notorious for, customers will obviously drop their ass even faster. This happens with Razer and others too, which is where Logitech could be poaching scorned customers if they didn't more recently stoop to the same terrible business model.
Gabriel Watson
they get "obsolete" not fast enough for customers to notice (we are talking 2-3 years before the double click sets in, instead of 5-6 years it was before), but make no mistake - they are aiming at repeating their customers (and any other biggest company in the market, like Intel who have achieved amazing IPC results, but replaced soldering with a fucking thermal solution that will unavoidably dry out in a few years, so that dumb-dumbs and lazy will buy a new CPU later, instead of having their core2duo for over a decade w/o overheating and/or replacing thermal paste)
Tyler Davis
or how Western Digital who have been producing consistently reliable HDDs have enabled BY DEFAULT that fucking head parking solution just after 8 seconds of idling.
Their official excuse was "to save on users' electricity bills", but the matter of fact is - the heads can land nearly 600k parking counts in less than 2 years and wear off the hard drive faster than ever before.
Zachary Carter
Ian Cooper
anyone buy replacement feet off aliexpress?
Aiden Ward
I ruined pic rel.
I replaced the cable because it was worn down to the wires and had loose contacts.
now the leds dont't work anymore because I lost a part of the connector but worst of all I didn't realize I used a keyboard cable as an replacement so it's much too stiff now x.x
Isaiah Sanders
I have an excellent condition G400 with a dodgy scroll wheel, should I replace it with chink parts for ~$5 then sell on the mouse?
Kevin Cook
Deathadder Chroma
I said I was never going to buy a Razer product but after the mouse button click on my other mouse broke. I didn't feel like waiting around for shipping so I bought this and super happy with it.
Angel Williams
I've had a few high quality used mice for sale on the net. nobody bids at them. don't spend money on mice on the expectation you'll get a return.
Jackson Perez
The side buttons are atrocious and poorly placed. The weight tray jams. The DPI buttons fail.
Juan Collins
weird i own a g300s and i think i would do better buying a g203 instead since the sensor suck. The extra buttons are nice though
Joshua Watson
I used a Logitech office mouse for ages until the sensor started fucking up and randomly jumping into the corners. Then I got a mouse with a good sensor and never looked back.
Cooper Walker
logishills are at an all time high.
Carson Watson
I've bought a couple sets of feet, they're fine aside from using some kind of LiDL adhesive that leaves nasty glue residue when peeling them off again, but nothing that a bit of oil and a rag can't fix.
Adrian Cruz
I use the wired version at work. trackballs forever.
Jason Evans
I hear ya
Elijah Robinson
Been using a SteelSeries Rival 500 for about 6months now. It's easily the comfiest mouse I've ever owned and all the extra buttons are great for one handed browsing.
Oliver Myers
OP, I have them all.
The one you have is my favorite of them, and definitely the best looking mouse I've seen.
I tried the g500s after the right click broke on the g5, and I do have to say it is better. The scroll is far better, and the sensor also seems upgraded. DPI and forw/back buttons feels cheaper than the g5 tho, but they still haven't shown any signs of wear after 4 years or so..
Give it a try if you want the same feel as the g5 on a new mouse. If you can even get ahold of them now that is, I think it's already replaced by those flashing rgb shits.
Jayden Reyes
I used to have a G5. Loved that thing. How does the G500 compare? I could get one for 40€. Worth it?
Elijah Garcia
is there an updated list of best mice?
Easton Bell
Just use this
Carter Evans
I've loved all the mice I've personally owned.
Noah Gray
coil whine issue, utter dogshit scrollwheel/clicks
zowie "quality"
Gabriel King
This bad bitch
Connor Hughes
>coil whine issue
On a mouse? What?
Jacob Clark
No mouse can top the mighty fk1
Lincoln Watson
>His GPU isn't installed in his mouse
Come on dude
Lincoln Kelly
Never had that problem ever in my life
Brayden Turner
Lmao ing so hard right now
John Bennett
Do mice even have coils? and never had this problem with zowie or zowie+benq mice
Eli Morgan
I have never tested the old g500, but I remember seeing lots about them breaking after a short while. I whould try for the g500s instead.
Nathaniel Morales
G900 reporting in, its a godsend
Carter Anderson
This mouse has never wronged me.
Cooper Allen

Daniel Peterson
All these pleb mice without 17+ buttons. Fucking disgusting.
Asher Hernandez
loved my g5, until the battery slot fucked up.
g602 is pretty good with just AA batteries, could lose some of the thumb buttons though
Bentley Smith
is this fake?
Evan Barnes
I’ve been using the m65 pro from Corsair for the past year now and I absolutely love it. I am in the market for a new mouse though to use with my laptop. I’d like to be kinda heavy, around the same weight as the m65 and also wireless. Any recommendations would be great
Luis Murphy
How long does the battery last? I've been looking for a wireless mouse to use for my laptop, but this seems like the only affordable one with at least 4 side buttons
Tyler Anderson
Wireless mice are inherently heavier.
Zachary Perry
Just got my MX master 2S and it's pretty fucking nice. So comfy after fingertip gripping a small mouse for years. Really heavy too.
Landon Jenkins
I had 3 or 4 logitech mice over the years, all of them either had middle click problems, double clicked or caused my PC to slow down to a crawl whenever plugged in (electronic failure).
I went with a razer basilisk this time and it seems to have started falling apart even faster, I'll try zowie next probably but at this rate it seems that no mouse will last more than one year without having some problem.
Carson Thomas
Anything with lots of mechanical moving parts that is made in china is going to fail under heavy use. It's just the way it is.
Gabriel Robinson
Sharkoon Fireglider black.
Almost 6 years old. Pic is not mine. The rubberised coating has worn off over the years, so it's now mostly shiny plastic. Still works great though. Don't really have any reason to replace it.
Nathaniel Edwards
I'm learning to accept this
Carson Rogers
aye brother. if you don't buy zowie you're subhuman
Ian Anderson
Got the same stuff. Can't complain for its price.
Isaiah Jones
after buying 3 logitech mice and they all eventually started getting that double click problem i am sick of that company but i dont know where else to turn to
what brand is known for building the most durable mouse
Isaac Brooks
>what brand is known for building the most durable mouse
Wasn`t that Logitech?
Robert Phillips
Logitech mice are cheap crap.
Cooper Wood
long time, very satisfied. months of use. rechargeable batteries ftw
Charles King
>Logitech mice are cheap crap.
Yeah they are now.
Austin Morgan
I guess so. Few years ago I bought a Logitech mouse, as I was hearing good things about them. The build quality was inferior even to some cheaper Microsoft mice, I couldn't stand it. Thankfully I was able to return it in a couple of days, and got my money back.
Ayden Gray
I'd say shilling, but Logitech actually makes great mice. Plus their warranty is great. I had issues with my G502 and they just sent me a brand new one of the latest model without much issue.
Software looks retarded but works. I use it so much for different game profiles and I used to have a Zeus ult sound spam set up on it before Valve nerfed sound spamming.
Joseph Scott
Klim Skill. Cheap and good.
Levi Morales
Is there any replacement for this? Had this back in 2011 and it was really good until the cable broke. Warranty'd it but they sent me a shitty model that didn't seem like it passed QC, it also broke within a month.
Robert Stewart
I just realised, that I literally haven't held another model in hand for almost ten years
Kinda love tho
Christopher Long
After getting a trackman, I felt using the side scroll is more efficient than the scroll wheel.
Connor Flores
tell that to the chinkshit mouse I used before switching
Hudson Mitchell
Is there a term for mice that are fat (no grips or contouring or whatever) and flat? I don't even know where to start looking. I refuse to conform, these new shapes hurt my hand.
Justin Murphy
perfection
Zachary Bell
best cheap mouse of all time
Joshua Roberts
Have had this mouse for over 5 years only problem is middle click broke.
Lincoln Rivera
Sup trackball friends.
I love the Kensington Expert Mouse with its symmetry, chords, and scroll ring. Used to use the beige "Turbomouse" version in the past.
Julian Rodriguez
I have a chink knockoff razer deathadder that I cant stop using on my spare PC, very comfortable, only issue is the middle mouse button has some gay ass rubber and it slips without scrolling the wheel too lazy to fix it and the thumb mouse buttons are starting to kick the bucket
Isaac Williams
got this mouse recently its nice all the dpi and lighting is done on the bottom of the mouse
James Robinson
maximum comfy
just enough buttons
weight is good
