So its getting to be a hassle undoing the cable management every time I move my S4 Mini around so I want a wireless mouse. it looks like Logitech is taking the reins on wireless peripherals these days. My only question is... Is the g900 worth the extra $30 over the g403? They're using the same sensor but what about wireless connectivity and ergonomics?

Since the g900 and the g403 use the same sensor, you should be checking which one fits your hand better. The g900 is a VERY low profile mouse and took a good bit of time to get used to for me. The g403 should be better if you're used to a higher profile.

As far as performance, I love both of them. I don't miss wired at all. Phenomenal mice. I haven't had a single hiccup with my g900 since I got it on release day.'

Also - FWIW, I play CS:GO heavily @ semi-competitive levels. Getting older, so my reflexes aren't as good, which makes equipment even more important to me. I'm VERY critical of my gear from a gaming perspective, and I never thought I'd go wireless. Totally happy I took a chance.

Indeed, my current mouse is also bought on the way it fits my hand, not the tech specs. I have a Razer Taipan, which has "issues" with it's not so perfect sensor according to the internet, but it have yet to identify it after years of use and it's very comfortable for me. But it depends what kind of grip you have. I for instance have a fingertip-grip and I've lost countless battles trying to convince myself I can change that with force of will.

The g900 will probably be better for finger tip grip. Order from Amazon and return if you hate it :) I came from a g400 (a nice mouse in its own right), but noticed the g900 performed better. My KDR in CS improved ~ 20% after a period of 2 days. Definitely tangible improvement.

One thing to mention, I did add some grip tape to certain areas of the mouse, I felt it was a bit slippery. I have very dry hands so it could just be me.

Low profile you say? My Zowie FK1 is what you call low profile :D
