Our Verdict
Logitech G903 LIGHTSPEED
Logitech MX Master 3
The Logitech G903 LIGHTSPEED is a better gaming mouse than the Logitech MX Master 3, but the MX Master 3 is much better for office use. The G903 has a much better sensor performance and a lower click latency, which provides a responsive gaming experience. It's also much more customizable and features RGB lighting. The MX Master 3 has gesture-enabled commands and a much more ergonomic design for workdays. The Logitech is also Bluetooth-compatible and also has a horizontal scroll wheel.
