Logitech G303 Daedalus Apex Optical Gaming Mouse

2015-03-05
in late 2014 logitech came out with the g 302 dateless prime mobile gaming mouse Linus was going to review it but seasons changed time passed by the weeks became the months became the Linus forgotten so a very short introduction to the Logitech G 302 day list prime and a more full review of the new G 303 dadless apex two mice that you might think look the same and well you'd be right but there are a few differences probably you'll find out after the intro so the idea behind the G 302 was to build a mouse that was ideal for dota and the lesser game League of Legends small and lightweight so you don't get fatigued moving your mouse back and forth with a very fast click to the minimized mouse mouth I meant mouse button travel distance and Logitech achieve that twice now I guess because the G 303 Daedalus apex is here it weighs a mere 87 grams without the cable about the same as the abysus or G 100's pre weight mod but it's not as light as the final mass 2015 74 grams the shape is a bit unusual and it's a lover hated characteristic the front and back tapers off pretty sharply and the angular back in middle leaves you with less contact surface than other mice if you have big hands you might find yourself a bit cramped but if you have small hands the sharp angles might cause some soreness keep in mind while this mouse has a symmetrical shape it is not ambidextrous this is a right-handed Mouse for right-handed people who primarily use a fingertip or claw grip as for the rest of the physical overview in spite of its featherweight class the G 303's build quality feels solid with none of the creaky plastic feel that is common on lesser mice there's a left and right mouse button in their expected positions logitech's been doing this a while so it would be hard for them to screw that up what they haven't been doing for a while is what logitech calls a metal spring button tensioning system which reduces pre-travel while a lot of high performance mice have a left right mouse button as part of the top shell the Daedalus has dedicated floating buttons which overall results in a very quick and light click that is pretty consistent regardless of where pressure is applied to the button although it's not so light that you accidentally shoot or stab teammates and spawn on Death Adder the scroll wheel has distinct notches that you can feel and offers only light resistance to actually rolling it this is good if you want to zoom in out really quickly but it does make very precise scroll actuations hard to achieve quickly pressing the scroll wheel is unfortunately affected by the light rolling resistance sometimes when I press down on the scroll wheel I'm liable to scroll up or down while I'm at it right below it is a dpi switch and finally two thumb buttons on the left side the thumb buttons have a short actuation although it does feel mushy once you do pass the actuation which is kind of disappointing after you feel the left and right mouse clicks that are just amazing so what is this mouse it seems a lot like the g3 oh - well the g3 oh - Daedalus prime MOBA gaming mouse is for MOBA players as the name implies and the g3 o3 is for shooting people in the face but how do you take the same shell and optimize it for a different game type when you play an FPS especially Counter Strike global Offensive you have to make rather large mass movements since you're probably using a low dpi for that extra accuracy and I found that the rubber cable was a bit too inflexible and would give a small but annoying bit of resistance when I would move up or down and get close to my mass Bungie at high speeds like with flick shots I found that the G 302 was liable to lean to one side or another losing tracking as it only had mass feed at the top center and bottom the cloud9 csgo team apparently loved the weight and shape of the G 302 well except for nothing who still preferred the G 100's and where it has it that team solomid CS Team loved it too unfortunately the amo 10 sensor wasn't enough with a maximum tracking speed of about 120 inches per second or 3 meters per second it just couldn't keep up I know my flick shot regularly hits 4 meters per second and I don't I can't even imagine like cloud nine with hit probably higher they get paid for it well Logitech was listening and took this feedback from pro gamers and enthusiasts which resulted in the new G 303 it looks and feels like the G 302 with some tweaks for competitive FPS play the rubber cable was changed to a soft braided Abell and it seems flexible and durable enough it's a bit thicker and heavier than the cable on the Roccat Kone pure military so sometimes I do find it dragging while the KPM cable stays off my best pad on the bottom they've added two mouse feet on the sides to give it a bit more stability when making high-speed movements finally and most importantly they swapped out the AM 0/10 sensor and replaced it with a BMW 3366 sensor previously only seen in Logitech's flagship g502 making the G 303 capable of tracking at speeds in excess of 300 inches per second or 7.6 m/s more than double the amo 10 and the g3 o to double the 3310 sensor found in top gaming mice like the rival or counter military and even more from the DeathAdder chroma in my test I don't know if it can do seven point six meters per second but at the six that I would reach at the very fastest it did handle that perfectly the G 302 was rate for MOBAs now the G 303 is also perfect for FPS I'll be it at a higher price point of $69.99 is it worth the upgrade from the G 302 if you find your cable gets in the way or you can't really do your noscope 360s because it just doesn't keep up well the G 303 is an upgrade but as with all mice comfort is important and if the odd shape of the Daedalus doesn't fit and it doesn't fit so the G 303 is a small lightweight mouse with a flagship sensor that pretty much beats out every other sensor the left and right click action is fantastic and now with the flexible cable it won't get in the way of your flick shots the shape might offend some but if you can handle it the G 303 is definitely a mouse ready for eSports Oh No why just kill me speaking of whatever ensel was just talking about did he do a great job today folks I actually don't know I haven't watched it yet I'm shooting this after be
