Why it ranks here. The G203 is the first gaming mouse in every budget thread, the safe shape everyone knows, with a sensor that is accurate at $15 on sale. It ranks first for that reach and for owners at eight years. It also has the best-known fault in the category.
One owner who has 'used over 30 mice in my lifetime'↗ calls it 'the best gaming mouse ever'↗; his old one 'is 8 years old and it's still going strong'↗, if 'the clicks getting a little weak over the years'↗. At $15 'It's one of the best items you could buy for $15'↗, and at $28 'probably one of my best purchase ever'↗. The sensor 'is really good'↗. Then the clicks. One owner is on his second in three years because 'after 1 year and a half they develop an annoying double click'↗, 'once every 4 to 8 clicks'↗; another's units 'started double clicking or having failing scroll wheels usually within a year'↗, and his 'chinese clones actually outlasted all of my logitech mice'↗. G Hub is disliked, and r/MouseReview calls the shape dated next to lighter, cheaper Chinese mice. Fine at $15, and expect to replace it.

I've had one for a few months now and I can say that it's definitely worth purchasing.. I have had no issues with it and the sensor is really good. The only con with it is the cable, it's nice and flexible but it picks up dust quickly which changes the colour obviously, so I'd recommend going with the black version if you want to avoid this problem.

I was looking for a channel that praises this mouse lol. This is the best gaming mouse ever! I have used over 30 mice in my lifetime and I think this beats out the expensive ones by far. I bought a new one recently and waiting for it to come in the mail. My old one is 8 years old and it's still going strong. Despite the clicks getting a little weak over the years. That happens with all mice though. It lasts a really long time with heavy FPS play.

This mouse is ridiculously good and comfy for its price. I bought it for only ~28usd and it's probably one of my best purchase ever. Unless u need insane DPI which to be real honest, nobody really needs that unless u are a competitve hardcore fps player or something, and even then, i still dont quite think so.

Even though i have the G305 and tested many more high end mice i enjoy the G203 as well. It's such an easy recommendation in the budget space - Great shape, and has a better sensor than what you find on the SS Rival 3, and Viper Mini which id say are the closest competitors. I'd get those only if you prefer those shapes.

G203, feels perfect. Buttons are light and I accidentally clicked them a few times but I adjusted to it in a week without any issues. This mouse is not for people that can't deal with light buttons also i upgraded too the Logitech g502 i the mouse button 1 and 2 are sensitive for me i rest my hand as a palm grip i was told this was good palm grip mouse but i still get some accidental right mouse button clicks

The first lie spread about this mouse is that it's easy to jitter-click, which is a huge lie... On the first day of use, the jitter click is normal, on the second day only a little, on the third day as well, and from then on the click becomes horribly stiff... The scroll wheel is also one of the parts that leaves much to be desired, as it's absurdly stiff.

I really like this mouse, it works well, I like the clicks, the side buttons, is comfortable and works well for what i've use it. HOWEVER this is the 2rd one I've owned in like 3 years and after 1 year and a half they develop an annoying double click, it happens a lot, like once every 4 to 8 clicks it double clicks and makes using it annoying.

My units have also started double clicking or having failing scroll wheels usually within a year of use. My chinese clones actually outlasted all of my logitech mice... I would only recommend logitech if you really have to and get good warranty but be prepared for changing skates and lots of warranty returns, wouldn't pay more than 50€ for one.

It's just an old mouse you won't have issues with the sensor, if the cobra wired is available buy that one instead because it has optical switch, better cable, and lightweight
