Connection and handling
The G203 is a wired model that connects over USB, with a 2,100mm cable. Supported OSes are listed as Windows 7 or later, macOS 10.13 or later, and Chrome OS, on devices with a USB port. The left and right primary buttons use Logicool G’s proprietary metal-spring mechanical button tensioning system. You can set up to 5 sensitivity levels and cycle through them with a button. With Logicool G HUB, you can assign system commands, keyboard commands, and macros to the 6 buttons, and settings can be saved as 1 profile in onboard memory.
LIGHTSYNC RGB lighting
LIGHTSYNC RGB is a lighting feature that lets you set colors and color waves from about 16.8 million colors. The manufacturer states that, in addition to choosing one color, blending three colors, or using animation presets, it supports screen sampling that syncs with your display and an audio visualizer that changes color with sound. It can also sync with other Logicool G LIGHTSYNC devices. Advanced features require the free Logicool G HUB software.
Points to check before buying
The G203 is wired, so if you want to use a mouse wirelessly without a cable, another model may be a better candidate. Detailed settings such as lighting and button assignments require Logicool G HUB. The warranty covers genuine domestic products purchased in Japan, and the sales page states that Logitech G products are not covered by the warranty in Japan.
