Logitech Buffs Up The G302 To Create The G303 Daedalus Apex Gaming Mouse

Back in November, Logitech released its MOBA-targeted G302 Daedalus Prime gaming mouse. Overall, it’s a great-looking rodent from both an aesthetics and features standpoint (one feature being that it’s kept simple), and for its price point of $50, it looks to be a great option for MOBA fans and anyone else that wants a well-designed gaming mouse that doesn’t go overboard with features.

But that doesn’t mean that it can’t be improved, and proof of that reaches us by way of the G303 Daedalus Apex.

That looks just like the G302, doesn’t it? That’s kind of the point, as the design used on that mouse was good. What’s different resides under-the-hood.

For starters, Logitech implements the high-performance sensor found in its G502 Proteus Core (our review) in this one. That gives the G303 a mammoth 200~12,000 DPI sensor that’s able to handle acceleration of >40G (from 20) and max speed of 300 inches-per-second (from 120).

The G303 also adds the ability to store 3 profiles on the mouse itself, which is ideal for those who move their peripherals from PC to PC. Oh – and that static blue LED on the G302? That’s gone with the G303: Logitech says that you’ll be able to configure the LED to use any one of 16.8 million colors.

The G302 retails for around $50, and all of the improvements mentioned above tack on $20 to make the G303 a $70 offering. Is that $20 premium warranted? For those who want a top-of-the-line sensor, the price boost might be worth it alone. Value is in the eye of the beholder, here.

Logitech’s G303 is expected to launch later this month in both North America and Europe.
