Good video! The G903 Lightspeed (2019) has far superior battery life though, up to 140 hours with default lighting, up to 180 without lighting. You've likely stumbled over the specifications of the older G903 model, yours has the HERO sensor though, way more efficient than the old model's PMW3366. The new model can be distinguished by the "LIGHTSPEED" beneath the G903 logo on the underside of the mouse, as well as the little lightning bolt logo on the top right corner of the box.
@@TheProvokedPrawn No you're not, that's an easy mistake to make. I just thought I'd put it out there, since many people base their purchase decisions on reviews. If you don't mind me asking, do you still use one of these mice, or even both? And if so, which one do you personally prefer?
@@3st90 I have pinned your comment for that reason :) I am not still using them as I'm regularly switching mice for testing reasons. I did prefer the G502 though.
Disliked. Only one ad in 12 minutes, not clickbait, completely accurate and informative, and worst of all, a great knowledge of the mice and how they function with counterparts. What kind of “Content” is this?
I upgraded my G502 (wired) to my first serious wireless mouse - the G903 last year. At first, it was a very jarring switch, the change of shape was obviously very noticeable. I don't find the G903 very comfortable, in fact I find it less comfortable than the G502. Doubling up on side buttons is a recipe for misclicks because the mouse is narrow. It looks more "gamery" which isn't really a positive either in my book. Overall, I'm disappointed. I stuck with the G903 up until now because I thoroughly enjoy the wireless experience on a high quality mouse, but as soon as I can afford to do so, I will be switching back to the G502 with it's wireless Lightspeed successor.
@@odwenz534 tbh I switched back to my wired G502 and only switch to the G903 when I require a wireless mouse. Until the G502 dies I'll be sticking with it before going to the wireless G502.
Maybe it's late to say this, but surely you knew that all the side buttons on the G903 are removable? Misclicks from pressing on the other side of the mouse seems like an odd complaint.
Thank you very much! You have done an outstanding job reviewing these two peripherals. High quality content, instructive, accurate and to the point, You are brilliant mate.
Definitely got my sub. Amazing content. You get down to the details without taking a couple hours. But your voice man. I would kill for that voice. Will be back again. Cheers!
My recommendation for those who don't know which mouse you should choose between these two. G 502 HERO -Suitable for large hands -Non symmetrical and bulky design -best for right hand - Heavier than G 903 G 903 HERO -Suitable for smaller hands -Symmetrical and smaller design -Best for right and left hands - Up to 180 hours battery life.
i have the 502 lightspeed wireless -superb mouse - soooo comfy. i tried the Gpro wireless but felt really uncomfy without a thumb rest. the 502 is the next best thing imo
I’ve had to RMA two separate g903 for double click issues as well as losing sync intermittently when the dongle is within 1-2ft. That being said I love the g903 and there is a fix to the double click if you don’t want to RMA. Ended up fixing my 2 broken ones and have backups now thanks to Logitech!
Well I hope you got the g502 Lightspeed. If your right handed It’s definitely better. It had a DPI error percentage of 0.2 percent which is incredibly low and probably the lowest if not one of the lowest while the 903 has a DPI error percentage of a little over 2 percent.
I just bought the powerplay for 105 euros. It’s indeed expensive, BUT it’s such a nice feeling mousepad in general and It provides that wireless charging. I would say I’m fine with the price with what I got.
@@TheProvokedPrawn, Paul Hibbert just did a review on his channel as well. The guy is HILARIOUS and his reviews are very no holds barred. He's primarily smart home tech.
Had the G903 since 2017 (yes I had to replace the switches!), I also have the powerplay mat which I highly recommend. Only thing to note is that you can't add weights with powerplay as the weight housing is replaced with the charging coil.
I really like the idea of using both left and right side buttons at the same time. For me, just having two on the left side plus the standard front buttons and scroll wheel isn’t enough, I’m thinking I could use the right side buttons for voice chat instead of awkward keyboard buttons would be great. Depends how practical it actually is to press those buttons while actively gaming.
I hate that I only bought another wired g502 a few months ago thinking I don't need wireless, but now want a wireless version after making a beautiful desk.
didn't see this in the comments so I guess I'm the first to notice that he didn't point out the fact that you can pull off the whole bottom of the G502 if you pull on it the glossy part of the thumb tab to add more weights
Ultimately had to opt for the G903 with the Hero sensor (upgraded a 6 year old G900). The battery life it's just surreal compared to the G502. If a G502 with Hero sensor is launched will be an instant buy for me, seems really comfortable. The other options Logitech offers are too light or lack the free wheel scroll that at this point I cannot live without.
@@ruipedroleite ye I don't know why the g903 has so much more battery life while using the same sensor as the g502. I'm using the g703 hero which has the same battery life as the g502, and the mouse lasts me a few weeks of work with no Rgb and 125hz polling rate, so I suppose it's not really a big issue.
Comprei esse mouse, paguei uma bica 903 hero speed ( 603 reais submarino) , estou com ele ha uns 2 meses, melhor mouse que já tive, ele sem fio da um pau em qualquer um com fio, a bateria dele demora muito, mas muito mesmo para acabar, jogo todo dia de 2 a 6 hrs, em uma semana deve ter gasto uns 20 % da bateria. Você consegue personalizar os DPI, pelo programa e ir trocando pelo botão que vem no mouse, são 5 personalizações que ele grava. jogo LOL e R6, 2 cliquinhos marotos, ja esta como quero, é um mouse ai pra muito tempo de uso.
If you have a double click issue ....just to say ....there is no fix for that so gl ....I rly love Logitech products but sometimes you get this annoying "feature" on their mouses when you cant hold the left click and it double or quadruple clicks .... I was searching for 2 whole years to fix this "bug" and there is no fix ....only the refund can save you ....
I bought both. I 100% satisfied with the 502! I will be returning the 903. Some things I didn't like about the 903 was the fact the included weight couldn't be used with powerplay charging, And also it just wasn't a comfortable mouse. Its made for both right and left handers, so it has none of the comfort features a right handed mouse would give a right handed user, like a thumb rest. ONE favorite mice of all time is the 700s, but I wish it was powerplay compatible!
Im looking at buying either the G903 or the G502 (both are the lightspeed version) which would you recommend is a better choice.? Also I’m not trying to get the powerplay mouse pad.
lmao this happened to me too. G903 double clicking on a single click. Wanted to get a Gpro but none in stock so went for G502 lightspeed. Arriving tomorrow, will be interesting to feel the difference.
Gökhan BigG I still have the earlier G903 and yes it’s started the dreaded double,treble right click error........anybody know if Logitech have new switches in the latest or still the same ? Don’t wanna buy for the same to happen again
i removed my extra buttons of the 903, you can do this, after this he is perfect now! i hate extra buttons on mouse, i never used in my life of gaming! And i like FPS games so, how more simple the mouse is better, i will buy the 502 soon because i need one more mouse, so i will have both and see who is the best!
I've been long term testing all of the G series mice, and Razer Viper/Basilisk. The 903 has been the winner even over the ultralights. Why, because the mouse is shaped with a grove on either side so I can move it around very easily not requiring grip tape and over all the shape resonates with me the best. Heavy? not for me and I find 60/70g mice too light!
The best mice comparison video that I've seen so far. The content is very high quality and understandable even though I'm from a non-English background. Btw I think you could put more ad hahaha and I'm willing to watch all the ads as support. To be honest, I still can't make the decision, could you give more suggestion for me. I'm a right-handed gamer and usually play fps game.
Regarding the mouse wheel, I don't recommend the Razer Basilisk's. We use 3 at home, and have had several more. The wheel sometimes misses a scroll and/or then makes a double scroll next time. From brand new. It's just a faulty design in that regard. The shape of the Basilisk is almost exactly the shape of the G502, and that's why I bought it. I was running away from the shitty G502 click components that make you missclick or double click after a few months. This also happened to my wife.
For me it comes down to ergonomics. Ambidextrous mice just feel awful to me for some reason. Right-handed mice with thumb rests will always beat the competition for me.
Same! i prefer ambidextrous mice though. I used the logitech M325 in school so i kinda got used to ambidextrous mice, i now use the razer mamba and razer basilisk x hyperspeed which both focus on the right hand (obvious, but i’m a righty.) not too much of a weird change but i still do like ambidextrous mice
I made a oppsie I didn’t know that it was wireless and I’ve been using the charger thinking that is was cabled and I needed that to play I’ve lost the usb for it
This is my second g903 in 3 years after light gaming. It seems the left click button won’t hold anymore. If I press it to hold it releases. Seems others are having the same issues as well!
Be careful with g903 wireless. Mine as well as a lot of other people's became pretty much unusable after 6 or so months. Double left click is very common and on mine holding right click is almost impossible, makes playing most fps almost impossible.
Well, it's good for some and bad for some. Only my phone uses USB-C when my bluetooth headphones, gaming headphones, bluetooth speaker and keyboard are using micro usb. For me, micro usb is better right now, because I don't need to have both cables on my desk.
Which one has more battery life then? They look the same and seem to have the same specs, sensors and tech with looks as the only difference so I'm guessing there is no difference? In the video you say the 502 has more battery life but then in the comments its different so I'm a little bit confused
@@TheProvokedPrawn I will, but I'll be moving around for work so my desktop and everything is in storage for the next year. With that in mind is there a battery difference? And if they do I wonder why since they are essentially the same?
Just returned g502 to back to market because of broken left button functionality. It lasted less than half year and dragging objects start to have problems.
Im right handed and use all buttons setup on my 903 on right i have stuff like battery level display and discord mute while on left side i have vvvvvery helpfull enter button set to far button while having back left clear for anything that any game can come up with
i have the first version of the 903(not lightspeed) had it since 2017 and recently it just started to double click after 6 years. at the time i got that 903 was the premium product and the base product, which is cheaper is the g pro wireless. but all of that changed since and now g pro wireless is significantly more priced than the g903-overall ok mouse
That's the new model of 903 as explained in the pinned comment, but also, when it first launched it had a terrible issue with the switches, it was one of the marketing points to have omron switches with 50M click durability, but it seems that with the troubles the switches gave them they removed that marketing point. I suffered with those Chinese omrons, but fortunately Logitech's customer services are amazing, they replaced the mouse TWICE.
Oh as a side note, I got to disassemble the first one (that darn mouse has 42 screws in total!) and catched the problem with the switches, it seems like the copper contacts are bent using heat, which oxidizes a thin layer over it screwing with the contacts. The first two ones started showing issues on their first two months, but now I'm about a year with the last with no issues whatsoever
@@dasarchiv3508 tbh te clicking issues seem to be mostly gone, a couple of friends of mine ended up buying the same mouse with no problems, being the oldest 9 months with the mouse, and the latest replacement Logitech sent never had a hiccup, and I had it for about 10 months. Seems that if you have those problems they're quick to show up
@@derchesten thx for response. That sniping button of the g205 is disturbing me cuz I'm pressing it every time I move the mouse. So I have the decision between 703 (I like its compactness) and 903 (battery life is wow). I don't want to end up contacting Logitech every month because of click issues
Currently have the g903. I thought the g502 light speed would be better. After buying the 502 to compare I found out my g903 was still more comfortable than the g502 AND the g903 is lighter which is noticeable if they were at least the same weight I would have kept the g502 also.
Das Archiv no I wish I did lol. But the battery like for the old version is not that bad. If it needs to be charged I just plug it and go to bed. No biggie but I got my son the g703 hero because the put the hero version that was around $100 at the time in the section for the regular g703 on clearance for $50. I can definitely tell you that the hero is SSSSOOOOO much more efficient.
Great video, thanks so much! Can I ask if any of these mice has a metal body? Also, has any of these mice a metal scroll wheel (as opposed to the plastic ones on Corsair and Razer)? Are both mice on micro USB, or is there one with USB C? And finally, if I am not using the mouse for a few hours (with the computer still on), is any of these mice going to a “battery save”’mode? Thank you! For reference, I was about to get a Corsair ironclaw but wanted a metal body, metal scroll wheel and sideways tilting function on the scroll wheel (and I understand that neither the ironclaw nor the basilisk have them).. Thanks a lot once more!
G502 Lightspeed doesn’t have a metal scroll, or body as far as i know, the old wired version of it had a metal scroll and it would rust pretty quickly, so a plastic one is better imo. The G502 also has a battery save mode which you can enable or disable in the GHUB. For me a mouse with too much metal is too heavy and problematic (mainly due to rust). Also, no USB C version too i think. No idea about the G903, i only own the G502 lightspeed.
I just bought the G903 it was on sale for £50 on amazon prime day down from £80. the G502 was full price at £90. I think comfort wise it’s just ok at best.I don’t like the way my pinky always touches the desk holding this mouse. Also the scroll wheel isn’t good in either position. overall a little disappointed. I definitely wouldn’t pay full £80 price for it. The G502 seems to be much better but I couldn’t justify paying £40 extra over G903. maybe I should return it and just get another humble G305.nothing fancy but that mouse is super comfortable and fast. it’s £35 so I thought £50 for G903 was a better deal. There’s also Razer Basilusk X at £40 Decisions decisions
Just a quick sidenote: Dont buy a G502. Ive got 2 of them over the span of a little less than 2 years and on both mice the right mousebutton started to die and have extremely frustrating bugs after only a few months of casual gaming. You can find hundreds of reports of this happening and Logitech just doesnt give a damn about it
It's the same with the G903. I've replaced 2 within the space of 2 years lol. Unfortunately all the premium logitech mice, use Chinese Omron switches which are prone to failure in a very short time. Pretty sad that logitech are still using shitty switches despite having known of this issue for multiple years now.
Overall ::::practically speaking 1 star Bad design on the left side buttons always mistakenly pressed targeting and building simultaneously!!!!when playing fortnite 1 star if u want to get a good game mice buy the old wired g402 its left side buttons are located much higher location never get mistakenly pressed.

Thanks for the feedback. I have improved since this ancient video and now do include side by side shots
Regarding the mouse wheel, I don't recommend the Razer Basilisk's. We use 3 at home, and have had several more. The wheel sometimes misses a scroll and/or then makes a double scroll next time. From brand new. It's just a faulty design in that regard.
The shape of the Basilisk is almost exactly the shape of the G502, and that's why I bought it. I was running away from the shitty G502 click components that make you missclick or double click after a few months. This also happened to my wife.
I have the g903 and am planning to get the g502
110 grams? lightweight and agile?
Ngl my current G402 is so heavy even these mice seem light to me. I wonder if I should try some of the 60 - 70 gram mice people keep raving about
@@cosmic_gate476 i was using a 104 grams mouse and changed to a 60 gram viper mini and it feels much better
i have both, i have no complaints about either one
Thank you, this was helpful.
may i ask u something ? can we use the g903 with only the receiver without the dongle/adaptor ?
Yes
@@TheProvokedPrawn is there any difference between using the dongle and not using the dongle?
the cable is just to extend it so it's easier to access if you need to and perhaps to extend the range if your PC is tucked away out of reach.
@@TheProvokedPrawn owh... so it doesn't effect the latency ?
@@bimbus.2319 I don't believe so.
For me it comes down to ergonomics. Ambidextrous mice just feel awful to me for some reason. Right-handed mice with thumb rests will always beat the competition for me.
Same! i prefer ambidextrous mice though. I used the logitech M325 in school so i kinda got used to ambidextrous mice, i now use the razer mamba and razer basilisk x hyperspeed which both focus on the right hand (obvious, but i’m a righty.) not too much of a weird change but i still do like ambidextrous mice
I made a oppsie I didn’t know that it was wireless and I’ve been using the charger thinking that is was cabled and I needed that to play I’ve lost the usb for it
Buy a micro USB paracord... then you can still charge the mouse and use a flexible cable
personally i like g903 more but everyone is hating on it :(
This is my second g903 in 3 years after light gaming. It seems the left click button won’t hold anymore. If I press it to hold it releases. Seems others are having the same issues as well!
this is happening with my g502
do u recommend me to switch to the g903 or buy another g502
@Neo Chen thanks
Also have this problem since i bought the g903 and used countless hours trying fixing it. Im going to buy g502 wireless instead.
You deserve a lot more subscribers.

Very nice of you to say so and thanks!
Do these scroll wheels have that rattling sound after a while when you shake it?
Be careful with g903 wireless. Mine as well as a lot of other people's became pretty much unusable after 6 or so months. Double left click is very common and on mine holding right click is almost impossible, makes playing most fps almost impossible.
What’s that thing displaying the question mark in the beginning ?
ua-cam.com/video/_NRt4n4dSxI/v-deo.html
It’s a bit annoying they don’t use USB-C for the charge cable as they do for the MX range of keyboard and mouse.
Well, it's good for some and bad for some. Only my phone uses USB-C when my bluetooth headphones, gaming headphones, bluetooth speaker and keyboard are using micro usb. For me, micro usb is better right now, because I don't need to have both cables on my desk.
I wonder, can 1 dongle be used to both connect a Logitech G915 keyboard and G502/G903 mouse? Nice in depth review. like it.
Which one should i get for gaming?
502 is my preference
@@TheProvokedPrawn I think so. Is it wearless?
@@cosmicgamer6648 wireless?
@@TheProvokedPrawn Yes is it wireless?
@@cosmicgamer6648 yes
Watching you is a bit like if Bob Ross was a tech reviewer.
Is that a compliment?
Hey 1 question is there any double click problems??
very good vid! But, did u say design to be light height?
Size comparison would be really helpful
Which one has more battery life then? They look the same and seem to have the same specs, sensors and tech with looks as the only difference so I'm guessing there is no difference? In the video you say the 502 has more battery life but then in the comments its different so I'm a little bit confused
Get a powerplay mat and you don't need to worry about battery life.
@@TheProvokedPrawn I will, but I'll be moving around for work so my desktop and everything is in storage for the next year. With that in mind is there a battery difference? And if they do I wonder why since they are essentially the same?
Just returned g502 to back to market because of broken left button functionality. It lasted less than half year and dragging objects start to have problems.
Im right handed and use all buttons setup on my 903 on right i have stuff like battery level display and discord mute while on left side i have vvvvvery helpfull enter button set to far button while having back left clear for anything that any game can come up with
Which has more buttons
G502 looks big but once you put your hand on it expect it to be a 1-3-1 finger placement or finger tip grip
Is this mouse still good in 2021? Should I go for it?
I’ve had the g903 for about a week and it’s good for me
i have the first version of the 903(not lightspeed) had it since 2017 and recently it just started to double click after 6 years. at the time i got that 903 was the premium product and the base product, which is cheaper is the g pro wireless. but all of that changed since and now g pro wireless is significantly more priced than the g903-overall ok mouse
That's the new model of 903 as explained in the pinned comment, but also, when it first launched it had a terrible issue with the switches, it was one of the marketing points to have omron switches with 50M click durability, but it seems that with the troubles the switches gave them they removed that marketing point. I suffered with those Chinese omrons, but fortunately Logitech's customer services are amazing, they replaced the mouse TWICE.
Nice story! It's good to hear when companies give users a good treatment
Oh as a side note, I got to disassemble the first one (that darn mouse has 42 screws in total!) and catched the problem with the switches, it seems like the copper contacts are bent using heat, which oxidizes a thin layer over it screwing with the contacts. The first two ones started showing issues on their first two months, but now I'm about a year with the last with no issues whatsoever
@@derchesten i cant decide between both because of that issues..
@@dasarchiv3508 tbh te clicking issues seem to be mostly gone, a couple of friends of mine ended up buying the same mouse with no problems, being the oldest 9 months with the mouse, and the latest replacement Logitech sent never had a hiccup, and I had it for about 10 months. Seems that if you have those problems they're quick to show up
@@derchesten thx for response. That sniping button of the g205 is disturbing me cuz I'm pressing it every time I move the mouse. So I have the decision between 703 (I like its compactness) and 903 (battery life is wow). I don't want to end up contacting Logitech every month because of click issues
Just so you know, you spelled ‘lightspeed’ wrong in the title. Great video tho!
Hahahaha. Can't believe I didn't notice that. Thanks for pointing it out.
Currently have the g903. I thought the g502 light speed would be better. After buying the 502 to compare I found out my g903 was still more comfortable than the g502 AND the g903 is lighter which is noticeable if they were at least the same weight I would have kept the g502 also.
what about that click/switch problems?
Das Archiv almost 1 1/2 years later and it still works like a dream.
@@Blaquegold thx for reply! Do you have the hero sensor?
Das Archiv no I wish I did lol. But the battery like for the old version is not that bad. If it needs to be charged I just plug it and go to bed. No biggie but I got my son the g703 hero because the put the hero version that was around $100 at the time in the section for the regular g703 on clearance for $50. I can definitely tell you that the hero is SSSSOOOOO much more efficient.
Great video, thanks so much! Can I ask if any of these mice has a metal body? Also, has any of these mice a metal scroll wheel (as opposed to the plastic ones on Corsair and Razer)? Are both mice on micro USB, or is there one with USB C? And finally, if I am not using the mouse for a few hours (with the computer still on), is any of these mice going to a “battery save”’mode? Thank you!
For reference, I was about to get a Corsair ironclaw but wanted a metal body, metal scroll wheel and sideways tilting function on the scroll wheel (and I understand that neither the ironclaw nor the basilisk have them)..
Thanks a lot once more!
G502 Lightspeed doesn’t have a metal scroll, or body as far as i know, the old wired version of it had a metal scroll and it would rust pretty quickly, so a plastic one is better imo. The G502 also has a battery save mode which you can enable or disable in the GHUB. For me a mouse with too much metal is too heavy and problematic (mainly due to rust). Also, no USB C version too i think. No idea about the G903, i only own the G502 lightspeed.
Does anybody know if both mouses can be used with the Logitech rechargeable mouse pad?
idk if i got this magic g502 but it would charge its self not plugged in if you leave it
Power Play mousemat?
Lol you bought the g502 only for GD i guess
Are these good for mmorpg games?
i have both G502 Hero & G903 lightspeed. i like the G903 better. just my personal preferences.
g502 spectrum right click is not as crispy as left main click, what about g502 hero version? does anyone knows the left click feel of hero version??
Same thing
Like sombody said, you can get up to 140 to 180 hours of battery, I also recommend charging it every night and turn rgb off if you don't need, it.
I will never buy a G903 ever again. It's ridiculous that a flagship product has such recurrence of double-click problems.
Logitech Scroll wheel and DMR perfect combination
I just bought the G903 it was on sale for £50 on amazon prime day down from £80.
the G502 was full price at £90.
I think comfort wise it’s just ok at best.I don’t like the way my pinky always touches the desk holding this mouse.
Also the scroll wheel isn’t good in either position.
overall a little disappointed.
I definitely wouldn’t pay full £80 price for it.
The G502 seems to be much better but I couldn’t justify paying £40 extra over G903.
maybe I should return it and just get another humble G305.nothing fancy but that mouse is super comfortable and fast.
it’s £35 so I thought £50 for G903 was a better deal.
There’s also Razer Basilusk X at £40
Decisions decisions
Just a quick sidenote: Dont buy a G502. Ive got 2 of them over the span of a little less than 2 years and on both mice the right mousebutton started to die and have extremely frustrating bugs after only a few months of casual gaming. You can find hundreds of reports of this happening and Logitech just doesnt give a damn about it
It's the same with the G903. I've replaced 2 within the space of 2 years lol.
Unfortunately all the premium logitech mice, use Chinese Omron switches which are prone to failure in a very short time. Pretty sad that logitech are still using shitty switches despite having known of this issue for multiple years now.
Can we connect charging to laptop directly and use it???
Yes you can
the only thing i wish you had was a recap/overview....
Thanks for the feedback
G502 is the BEST! 😃😃😃😃😃😃
Highly subjective
If you have the powerplay mat, then definetly. If not...
Thank you!
Setup one
?
I’m a leftie gamer, so i pefer the g903. Good review
What is light speed for ?
It's the name of the wireless connection
Overall ::::practically speaking 1 star
Bad design on the left side buttons always mistakenly pressed targeting and building simultaneously!!!!when playing fortnite 1 star if u want to get a good game mice buy the old wired g402 its left side buttons are located much higher location never get mistakenly pressed.
G503 is still better if you have it, don't waste money on a G903 its cheaper than G503 and if your a right handed mouse user G503 is superior.
How much g502 is good?
