Logitech has collaborated with renowned gamer and streamer Shroud to release a wireless version of its G303 Daedalus mouse. It is known as the G303 Shroud. And, while this $130 mouse is lacking in features (it is largely identical to its wired cousin, with the exception of two side buttons and a DPI changer), it is a pleasant, long-lasting alternative that appears to be particularly well-suited to first-person shooter games.
In comparison to the G502 Lightspeed, the G303 Shroud does not cradle your hand, yet gamers who prefer not to suffocate a mouse with their grasp may prefer this one. It is ambidextrous (albeit the thumb buttons are designed for right-handed mouse users), and the translucent plastic sides protrude slightly to fit within your thumb joint and act as a stopper for your pinky on the other side. The thumb buttons are easily accessible, however we wish they were thicker to avoid misfiring during a hot fight.
The G303 Shroud is a simple gaming mouse that will appeal to some minimalists due to its obvious lack of flair – the only LED is the battery indicator located near the scroll wheel. The G303 did not wow me with its appearance or feel in the hand, but it is a good alternative for those looking for a no-frills wireless gaming mouse – assuming you can stomach the price.
