Not exactly the product I wanted, the price and quality do not match.

"If vodka was not driven from sawdust" .
About "quality".
Stock up on tools, normal switches (mics), as well as special pads (because the sides of the mouse are deadly longing, albeit "rubber") + new "legs" (however, you can get by with "relatives" if you're lucky). But with buttons - no luck. The appearance of a double click is a matter of several months.
Sensor.
The Pixart PMW3366 installed in the earlier version of the Product undoubtedly consumed (and consumes) significantly more power; and it refuses to work on most surfaces, unlike the Hero 16K. But the quality (smoothness) of mouse movements with Pixart is undoubtedly more pleasant - this is a real fact, established on the new Razer Manticor, after repeated comparisons.
The design of the mouse has obviously been reduced in price - however, in general, the Hero 16K sensor shows itself quite well; and now it is also 25K (it is absolutely incomprehensible why this is necessary - especially when you consider that problems, and serious ones, this model does not have with sensors at all).
So: ALL mice of this series, with their active and not very use, have specific problems caused by double click. And it's not the design, as some assure - with the design of this mouse, everything is fine, more or less. But the fact is that the Company, for many years now, stubbornly "merges" the issue with the switches (apparently, someone is profiting). If in the early version of the G703 mics were installed at least with the marking "50M", then now there is some kind of "G" in there, which, in fact, does not stand up to criticism at all.
The most interesting thing is that the wired G403, at "20M", has no problems with the buttons! How this can be explained - probably only the Manufacturer knows.
But the fact is: soldering this "G" to standard "50M", bought from responsible Chinese (or not Chinese) sellers - immediately and completely removes the issue with a double click, as well as with the clarity of the cutoff. For on "G" it is none.
If there is an opportunity to "finish" this under-product - immediately "finish", there will be a normal mouse.
Otherwise - "hat".

Pros

Perhaps the best quality / smoothness of movements in wireless mode. Undoubtedly the best battery life so far. The ability to save all settings in the non-volatile memory of the Mouse - i. E. to use all the main features of the mouse, the presence in the System of installed proprietary Logitech software is not necessary. Moreover, it, this software, to put it mildly, does not always behave adequately (which, of course, is not a virtue at all). But in order to perform and save user settings, it will, in any case, be needed.

Cons

There was simply no point in saving so much on the battery. All the charm of the new sensor, its high energy efficiency, is revealed when using a battery from an earlier version of this model, or even a larger capacity. I don’t charge for 3-6 weeks, it happens, although I use the product for 5-15 hours a day - this is with a battery from the version of the model with the PMW3366 sensor. With the "native" battery installed in the Hero versions by default, everything will be much more dreary - because it is small-y-y-small, although there are plenty of places there, because the mouse body remained the same as it was originally.
