Our Verdict

Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Mouse

Logitech G203 LIGHTSYNC

The Logitech G203 LIGHTSYNC and the Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Mouse are designed for different uses. The Logitech is a budget, wired gaming mouse, so it has RGB lighting, better click latency, and a higher polling rate. It also has more customization features for the sensor. On the other hand, the Microsoft is better suited for office or productivity tasks. It's wireless and has an internal storage compartment for its receiver. It also has L/R scroll wheel tilts for horizontal scrolling and has a more comfortable ergonomic design with a thumb rest.
