Our Verdict

Logitech G403 Prodigy Wireless

Logitech G403 HERO

The Logitech G403 Prodigy Wireless is better than the Logitech G403 HERO, but mostly due to its wireless capability, as it's essentially a wireless version of the G403 HERO. However, there are some small differences, as the G403 HERO has lower click latency, a wider CPI range, and is lighter since it doesn't have a built-in rechargeable battery.
