Details
Appearance
The appearance of G403 is simple and generous, with the new Logitech LOGO, I have to say that Logitech’s PRODIGY series products are much improved in appearance.
Buttons
G403’s left and right buttons adopt a split design, equipped with Omron’s D2FC-F-7N (20M) micro switch which has 20 million click times. Generally speaking, the asymmetric ergonomic designed mouse’s left mouse button sound is relatively crisp, the right button will be softer, and the sound is a little deeper.
2 side buttons are easy to be recognized by the thumb, and the position design is reasonable, which will not cause thumb accidental touch.
Bottom
G403’s bottom has 2 Teflon glides curved edge to provide a very smooth move experience.
Lighting
G403 light’s transmittance and uniformity are very good, the color is very natural and comfortable.
Grip Feeling
G403’s asymmetrical ergonomic design brings a more comfortable gripping experience.
The side material is rubber, it gives you a skin-like touch. Thumb, ring finger, and little finger fit the sides comfortably, you can obviously feel the anti-skid effect.
Disassembling
The main PCB looks very neat, with the 3366 optical sensor in the center.
Kaihua roller encoders and scroll wheel switch separately fixed on a small PCB and connected to the main PCB.
In the middle of the roller is a light strip.
There are two SMD LED lights directly under the scroll wheel to provide RGB lighting effects.
Software
Logitech’s software (Logitech G HUB) is very easy to use, and G403 has onboard memory which can save your settings to mouse memory and you use it on any PC without setting.
