Our Verdict

Logitech G203 Prodigy

Logitech G203 LIGHTSYNC

The Logitech G203 LIGHTSYNC is an update of the Logitech G203 Prodigy. The two mice are nearly identical, but the LIGHTSYNC has three independent RGB zones within the band that wraps around the back, while the Prodigy only has one. The LIGHTSYNC also has a somewhat lower click latency, but most people likely won't notice a difference.
