Logitech Announces G303 Daedalus Apex Performance Edition Gaming Mouse

Logitech, a leading innovator of gaming peripherals, today introduced its newest Logitech G mouse, the Logitech G303 Daedalus Apex Performance Edition Gaming Mouse. Designed based on feedback from the gaming enthusiast and eSports community, the Logitech G303 features the Logitech G exclusive Delta Zero optical sensor technology for precision targeting, and metal spring button tensioning system in a lightweight, compact form.

"The community sent us a clear message that they wanted the lightweight, symmetrical design of our G302 combined with the amazing sensor in our G502," said Ujesh Desai, vice president and general manager of the Logitech gaming business. "We took this feedback and built a mouse that was tuned and tested by pros to help ensure improved accuracy, comfort and performance. Thanks to you and this feedback, we've built an amazing product."
The Logitech G303 features one of the most advanced optical sensors available in gaming mice today and reflects Logitech's ongoing commitment to leveraging science to design products that help gamers win. The Logitech G303 also incorporates RGB customizable lighting color and brightness to match your style, system or environment.

"The G303 Daedalus Apex gives us a definite advantage," said Sean "sg@res" Gares of Cloud9, CS:GO. "This mouse offers a comfortable feel with a lightweight, ambidextrous grip."

Advanced Optical Sensor
This performance-oriented mouse features Logitech's best optical sensor for maximum tracking accuracy. Our exclusive Delta Zero optical sensor technology minimizes speed-related accuracy variance, commonly known as "mouse acceleration," for improved accuracy and precision targeting. Combining a huge DPI range of 200 all the way up to 12,000 with zero smoothing, this mouse delivers unparalleled tracking performance and responsiveness, and tracks movement at 300 inches per second. The optical sensor can also be tuned to achieve optimum lift-off distance and maximum tracking speeds on any gaming surface, so you can always get the best possible tracking response.

Performance-Driven Design
The Logitech G303 delivers the utmost accuracy, responsiveness and performance in a lightweight, compact and durable design. The Logitech G exclusive metal spring tensioning system reduces pre-travel, resulting in improved button responsiveness and feel. The left and right click buttons have also been tested for 20 million clicks - which is the equivalent of a top professional gamer practicing 10 hours per day for two years - so you can confidently game for hours on end.

RGB Customizable Lighting
For maximum visual appeal, full-color RGB lighting on the Logitech G303 projects light onto your mouse pad and can be customized from a palette of up to 16.8 million colors. You can bring your mouse to life with "breathing" light patterns, or set your lighting to sleep when you aren't using your system.

Pricing and Availability
The Logitech G303 Daedalus Apex Performance Edition Gaming Mouse is expected to be available in the U.S. and Europe beginning in March 2015, for a suggested retail price of $69.99.

lZKoceI should have been more specific. :) I too think G602 is really cool. What I wanted to say was, I think they should expand their mid-range WiFi line. Right now they have something like M560 there. And other companies offer better value. What I would like is 2000 CPI with 2-button+middle click+back button+hyper scroll everyday mouse for about 30 Euro, which they currently don't offer. And if they do have the buttons it's only 1000 CPI (like M705, which I currently use). Their latest offerings are "down-scale" of their top tier wired mouse. So if they can trickle-down the top wired mice, why not trickle-down the top WiFi mice? Like a hack-job of G602 for example :)
ah i see ... but no WiFi is not necessary the 2.4ghz 1000/500/250/125hz poling rate nano receiver they have is perfect and can't suffer interference like a WiFi one. (well it's already wifi but they don't call it like that)

edit oh wait i did re read ... woops cross read is bad ... oh well i keep that part either ... bahahaha (still i fail to see why a 2000dpi M705 would be better than a 100dpi one ... i even used that mouse to play, wow/eve online/others, on a Sony Vaio :roll: )
funny ... unless 4k dpi above 2600 are kinda useless for me and since 4k is useless (for me) i keep my GXT 166 at 2600dpi (i tried 16400 for fun ... oh well that was the highest rotation rate i ever seen on CSS :roll: )
also the mouse you wrote off... is the M705 Marathon, i own one and it's exactly as you specify... and i paid 28chf for it (with the euro finally down to 1.07chf for 1€ it make ... 30€ xD )
www.logitech.com/en-us/product/marathon-mouse-m705
they announce 3 yrs battery duration .... it's a bit below reality if using good quality battery: Energizer Lithium got me a bit more than 5 yrs xD and it's my allround mouse for any of my second rig or laptop (even Macbook Pro now)

edit 2: oohhh on their official website Logitech list now the G600 for 49.90chf instead of 99.90chf ... hummm i took the GXT 166 because it did cost me 59.90 :D maybe time to go back to the G600 (if the pinky shift click wasn't so annoying .... and useless ...and i would miss the index 2nd button and ... the adjustable weight and .... hum yep Trust did a real good mmo mouse ... quite suprising )

rtwjunkieWell, I am very happy with my G500 wired gaming mouse. So happy that I have a backup I bought. I've never had a bad logitech mouse. I still have an MX-518 that is almost ten years old, and it still works perfectly. I am now in my 3rd year with my G500.
Recently my G500 died after 5 years of abuse. I was able to find two G500s's tho :)

I tried both the G402 and G602, and they just don't feel right, too small and too low. Designed for baby hands.

It's a shame they ditched the MX518/G500 design, they are so comfortable.

@TheDeeGee You can still find that familiar shape of mx518: Try the G400s. It feels exactly the same.

Is this the true MX 518 successor?

I loved the G9x for its shape and currently using the G502 Proteus. Was not a big fan of G500 due to the weird asymmetrical sensor position. However Proteus is a bit too long for my hands and not wide enough to claw grip. I hope this is a better claw mouse.

Dave65This, I would never buy Razer again..Never had a problem with Logitech.
I have a pair of headphones and a Blackwidow keyboard from them and I absolutely love them. Their mice just suck balls.

No Logitech for me again I had 2 x G500 each one last a year and few months after that I bought G500s , the later is a degrade in every aspect the software is buggy along with the on-board memory that seems a gimmick , the clicks doesn't feel sold and doesn't click in a constant way .

My G500s got a very low but annoying coil whine... Any idea on how to get rid of it??


Anyways, I will never buy another Logitech mouse because of this shitty high pitch noise / coil whine issues, which seems to persist on almost all new releases.

No clue! That sucks, because I've never even heard of that.
