> 3 dayEdit as of 2/18/2021: Double clicking has started occurring now Oh well it was goodish while it lasted. Ergonomics are fantastic, performance is predicable and great, gloss finish on the top is the doing of satan..... Im a clean freak of sorts, and when Im holding something glossy my hands sweat that sweat then dries on the glossy object making it not clean... the pictures above are after about a hour of use after cleaning it for me, if your not afraid to modify it and remove the gloss finish its 100% worth it. I am going to wait for my warranty to run out before i attempt to do so. Conclusion, other than the abysmal gloss finish (have no idea how companies think they are still a good idea) its a amazing mouse comfort wise and performance

17-11-2024I dont have big hands but this was small even to me. Worked well and the design was good but it just seemed smaller than I was used to.

> 3 daya little cheaper than what I remember. My hand does love it and works better than any of the newer logitech mouses. No rgb! No stupid software!

17-11-2024Lets talk about the logo badge on the palm rest. The badge is placed where it sits in direct contact with my hand at all times while using it(12+ hours a day often as not.) It has a thin, fragile plastic coating- Ive had it less than a month and the edges are already wearing off. Under that plastic is a soft metal with no corrosion or abrasion resistance, on a part that is being rubbed by an acidic hand 12+ hours a day. The picture attached is of my G400s which this replaced- same chassis, same badge, and what happened with the badge- the metal wore through and formed a razor sharp edge, forcing me to pry what was left of the badge off and leave an ugly hole in the palm of the mouse. The same thing will happen to this one. Logitech doesnt use their own products and it shows really badly with an issue like this. Im thinking about prying the badge off now and filling the void with epoxy since Logitech obviously isnt going to fix this problem after at least half a decade Update! The coating already came off. Reminder I purchased this only a month ago. It was flaking off on my hand and when I tried to brush off the flaky part the rest of it just wiped off the smooth metal. Its thinner than saran wrap and cant adhere to the polished metal at all. The corrosion has already started. They actually even CHANGED THE LOGO they use on the badge, but didnt fix this obvious defect. Im just going to make this one star- the mouse is fine but that might as well be an accident with this level of carelessness. Make the palm smooth plastic. No badge. No metal. Reasons obvious.

> 3 dayI dont usually write reviews, but this was one I had to write. Sad that my mx518 that I bought in 05 when I was a kid started to die in 2016 or so I went to the G401 as it was the mx predecessor. And thats when I took a long break from gaming. When I came back I started to get used to the G401 and wanted to see how much my old mice was. When I looked it up, to my surprise I saw that they re-released my favorite mouse! And damn its exactly the same, but better sensors and better drivers. You can program every button (unlike before). Im almost tempted right now to buy another just in case something happens with the one I just bought... If youre looking for a comfy mouse for gaming, I would suggest this and not look back.

> 3 dayIm not really a mouse enthusiast, but I know what I like. I was using an old Logitech wireless mouse for work (at home), and it would cause me to develop pain in my hand if I used to for too long. I remembered I had a MX510 in the early 2000s and LOVED that mouse. So thinking I was being thrifty, I went onto a popular online auction site, thinking I could find one for dirt cheap... I mean who wants a weird shaped mouse from the early 2000s? $70 Starting price, $200+ New. I refused to pay that for a mouse (especially a used one), and settled on the G403, it was not the same as my beloved MX510 but it was A LOT better than the tiny Logitech I was using. I saw recently that there was a re-release of this mouse... I was thrilled. I waited patiently for the US version as I did not want to wait a month+ for one to be imported from Hong Kong. Wow, let me tell you... The design is exact. The feel is exact, even down to the rubber cable. I can use this mouse for hours on end, and never get pain in my hand. A lot of people hate this design, but I love it. I use it to game, and work, and it preforms flawlessly. I booted up Unreal Tournament 99 just for the pure nostalgia... Ive certainly lost my touch over the years, but the mouse felt just like I remember.

> 3 dayI was heartbroken when my my old MX 518 died a few years ago. It was the greatest gaming mouse I’ve ever owned. Logitech absolutely nailed the ergonomics on the 518. I never found an adequate replacement. I’m not a fan of Logitech’s newer mice. They have great sensors, but very poor ergonomics with sharp edges and poor button placement. Someone at Logitech finally came to their senses it seems. The revamped 518 gives you the best of both worlds: the ergonomics of a 518 body combined with modern internals. This feels as great in my hand as I remember. Actually I think the build quality on this might be slightly better than the original. The sensor is definitely way more precise. Overall it’s even better than the old 518. Kudos to Logitech for actually listening and giving the people what they were wanting.

20-11-2024Prior to this mouse, I was using this a bluetooth mouse to play games like Fortnite and Overwatch. After switching to this one, I see a major difference to the sensitivity and clicks to improve my gameplay. Anyways, on to the specifics! This is a wired mouse that plugs into your PC via USB. The wire is quite long, so you can fish it around any monitors to help make your desk space more cleaner. From the box, you can type in the specific link and get the driver for this mouse. The software can allow you to customize the various buttons. By default, there are options to go backward/forward in your web browser. And you can also increase, decrease, and set back to default the mouse sensitivity. So you can easily switch back between ones you need when gaming! My hand can rest easy on the mouse and the grip that I have on my right hand is comfortable. Im very glad to have purchased this!
