Our Verdict
Logitech G703 LIGHTSPEED with HERO Sensor
HP OMEN Photon
The Logitech G703 LIGHTSPEED with HERO Sensor is a better wireless gaming mouse than the HP OMEN Photon. The Logitech is considerably lighter and feels sturdier. It also has a more flexible charging cable, a much higher maximum CPI, a more precisely adjustable CPI, and much lower click latency. On the other hand, the HP has modular parts, including thumb and pinky rests and two optional side buttons per side, while the Logitech only has two side buttons on the left and no finger rests. It also has a mouse wheel with L/R tilt buttons. Unfortunately, its software requires you to log into an account to configure more than one profile, a requirement the Logitech software doesn't have.
