Ultimately, though, after using both mice for a week at the same time, we can confidently say they’re both equally as accurate and reliable. Some will argue that optical sensors are better than five-year-old laser technology, meanwhile, on paper Razer has a leg up on the sensitivity department. Comparatively, the $139 (£139, AU$239) Razer Lancehead is equipped with its self-made 5G laser sensor at an even higher sensitivity of 16,000 DPI. Of course, a big part of the Logitech G903’s accuracy comes from its PMW3366 optical sensor with a maximum sensitivity of 12,000 dots per inch. We never experienced any latency or loss if signal despite using the peripheral in an office saturated with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and every other type of wireless signal. That’s no small feat, and that’s all thanks to the same Lightspeed Wireless technology that was also in the G900. The Logitech G903 might be a wireless gaming mouse, but it feels as seamless as a wired one.

Thankfully, though, the Logitech G903 has a fairly-sizable battery life with up to 24 hours of usage – or up to 32 hours without any lighting at all.įor these reasons, we would say the Logitech’s specialized mouse mat is a convenient luxury, but not a necessary add-on for the Logitech G903.

If you’re looking for a quick charge, plugging in a microUSB cable would be way faster. Going from 0% battery to a full charge with your mouse on the PowerPlay would take between 12 and 14 hours, by Logitech’s estimate. That said, as convenient as the PowerPlay is, it isn’t going to get the Logitech G903 fully charged in a jiffy. On a typical day, we use the mouse and specialized charging mat in the office for work and testing, take it out for a few meetings, bring it back home for gaming on our personal rig and come back to the office on the next day to fill the batteries back up with regular usage. In this way, the PowerPlay sets up the perfect way of using a single mouse both at home and on the go. Not only that, the PowerPlay mat comes equipped with a wireless receiver that connects with your mouse, so you won’t need to occupy another USB port for a separate dongle – which you can instead plug into a laptop. With this arrangement, the Logitech G903 can pull a constant current of electricity to both power its operation and recharge its internal batteries. The pad essentially creates an electromagnetic resonance charging field – say that five times fast – that the mouse absorbs through a PowerCore module you can attach to the bottom of the mouse. The Logitech G903’s newest trick is it comes with the ability to wirelessly charge through a specialized mouse pad called the Logitech PowerPlay.
