That’s true regardless of pairing method. Those of you who abstain from Powerplay and buy the G703 on its own will receive the usual USB dongle. Easy. Those who do opt for Powerplay will have the mouse pad itself as a Lightspeed receiver. The first time you turn on the mouse pad and mouse it’ll pair, and from there you should be good to go. I haven’t noticed any performance difference between the two methods. G.703 defines digital carriers of various speeds such as T1 and E1. These are organised as part of a hierarchy of carriers defined in G.702. Speaking of Powerplay, we should also talk battery before we wrap this up. That’s the whole reason we’re getting this rework of the wireless G403, after all. IDG / Hayden Dingman

It’s perhaps on the pricey side, and isn’t the most exciting mouse to look at. Nevertheless, it nails all the core functionality, and delivers excellent gaming performance for the budding cord-cutter.

A G.703 E1 link is typically, though not necessarily, framed using the G.704 standard which divides the data stream into time slots. Typically, each time slots represents an E0 (64kbit/s) voice channel encoded using pulse-code modulation (PCM). The PCM coding is defined in the G.711 standard. G.704 also includes a control timeslot slot and a signalling timeslot (CAS or CCS). It’s the feet that make the difference. Indeed, if there’s any feature that typifies the entry-level nature of the G703, I think it’s the feet. Most people don’t give much thought to what’s under the mouse, but it can be just as important as the weight, the balance, the sensor, etc. Compare the bottoms of the G703 and G903 here: IDG / Hayden Dingman Is it unusable? Far from it, and a few may even prefer the G703. That drag allows for more precise movements, at the expense of slightly more effort. For my money though, I prefer the G903, or really any mouse that glides without a second thought. IDG / Hayden Dingman It also uses Logitech’s proprietary “Lightspeed” wireless tech. Time was, a wireless mouse was verboten in gaming circles—prone to interference, plagued by bad sensors, people wanted wired mice because they were dependable. There’s also an assumed benefit to wired: speed. Surely nothing’s faster than an electric signal over a wired connection, right?

Using the G703 in its traditional, non-Powerplay mode, I got about two or three days of use before I needed to connect the included Micro USB cable and plug in the mouse. That matches Logitech’s figures, which list 24 hours of battery with the default lighting (or 30-plus if you go dark). Charging takes about two hours, so the mouse should be charged with time to spare if you plug it in overnight.

That feature seems admittedly more useful on the higher-end G903, which glides effortlessly across the mouse pad. I actually thought the G703 was the heavier mouse at first, due to how much it dragged while moving—but no, it’s actually 3 grams lighter than the G903 (107 versus 110).

The G703 is rated for 24 hours of battery with the RGB lighting enabled, and 32 hours with this disabled. If you’re using the PowerPlay mat then you’ll never need to charge the mouse, although the occasional hiccup meant that I saw a few low-battery warnings – but nothing that can’t be resolved. It’s slow, sure. If you need to be somewhere in an hour and don’t plan to take the mouse pad, you’ll probably want to plug in the G703 directly.It works. A truly wireless mouse is finally here—one you’ll never need to plug in. If you’re willing to shell out the cash, of course. Bottom line For the majority of gamers, however, the G703 is the perfect option. Simplicity is key, and the no-frills approach to creating a great gaming mouse has paid dividends. The Logitech G703 is Trusted Review’s favourite gaming mouse. Verdict
