Graphs Description The Physical Characteristics comparison is just a viewable representation of the devices' length, width, height and weight. Sensor, Latency and Other Features are, instead, computed within the range 0-->100, taking into account if the variable is getting better with the increase of its value (e.g the highest max DPI, the better it is) or vice versa (the lowest Click Latency, the better); for example, a score of 50 for both devices means they are equal, scores of 70 and 30 mean that first one better. So, the data are homogeneous to provide immediate meaning, higher bar(s) means better value(s). An empty graph means that there is not enough data to compute that comparison (one value or both are missing).

Final Vs Words

Aiding our visitors to the final choice between the mice.

This final paragraph will help you in the decision making process, between Logitech MX Master 3S and Logitech G303 Daedalus Apex, and in selecting the mouse that is performing better and best suits your needs. We are aware that every user has own needs and preferences, due to this each mouse could be better for some features and worse for other ones. The purpose of the text is to highlight this possibility and generate an "overall score" for a purchase decision.

First of all, mice have different utilization aim, MX Master 3S is meant to be Business mouse while G303 Daedalus Apex, instead, Gaming mouse. The first one is younger, 2 years old, being released in the 2022, while G303 Daedalus Apex is older, 9 years old, being released in the 2015. The production age difference is 7 year(s). This makes the MX Master 3S kind of more attractive in terms of freshness.

• Dimensions, Weight, Ergonomy 📐⚖️🫳

When it comes to evaluate mice dimensions, you should take into consideration the size of your hand and check if it would properly fit it or not. In this case, you should check which mice would be the fittest. Compared to G303 Daedalus Apex mouse, MX Master 3S is ~9.90 mm (or ~0.39 in) Longer, ~19.30 mm (or ~0.76 in) Wider and ~14.00 mm (or ~0.55 in) Higher, which makes it, overally, 43.2 mm (or 1.70 in) way bigger and better suiting greater hands.

Considering the weight, Logitech MX Master 3S is 38% heavier, a difference of 54.00 g (0.12 lbs), which can be considered very significant. We do not express a particular preference for heavier or lighter mice, being this a completely personal objective preference. Anyway, both mice does not offer weight personalization .

Regarding the Ergonomy, MX Master 3S is meant to be Right-handed while G303 Daedalus Apex is Ambidextrous. They offer different grip, Palm grip by MX Master 3S while G303 Daedalus Apex has Claw grip, Fingertip grip; this last one can be considered more adaptable, with a number of grip possibilities equal to 2 instead of the 1 offered by the other one.

• Sensor and Latencies 🐭⏱️

Let's now compare Logitech MX Master 3S sensor with the one of Logitech G303 Daedalus Apex. The two mice do not share the same sensor technology, that is Laser for the first one, Optical for the second one; they also have different sensor model: Darkfield equipped by MX Master 3S and PMW3366 used by G303 Daedalus Apex. It is very important to say that, although tech and model sometimes coincide, the assembly and composition of interior circuits might result in different specs and latencies.

Resolution, Max Acceleration and Max Tracking, Polling Rate and Lift Off
The mice offer different resolution range (DPImax - DPImin), the MX Master 3S provides 7800 DPI/CPI, while G303 Daedalus Apex offers 11800 DPI/CPI, meaning that the last one has larger range. Consider picking up the one having the sensitivity range that mostly suits your needs, depending on the aim (Gaming/Business) but also the kind of game you are going to use it mostly (e.g. FPS is different than RTS or MOBA). If you need a higher precision mouse, meaning that for the same length of shift the mouse will recognize more movement, "reading" more dots per inch and, in other words, will move faster on the screen, G303 Daedalus Apex is offering 33% better Max Resolution, 4000 More DPI/CPI.

Take into account that max G and max IPS mostly affect activities requiring very fast mouse shift, together with the shift latency that we will analyse further in this section.

MX Master 3S has a Polling Rate of 125 Hz, in other words it reports data to computer 1 time every 8.00 ms, while G303 Daedalus Apex is characterized by 1000 Hz or an input every 1.00 ms, making this last one having 88% better Polling Rate. Lastly, the Lift Off distance of MX Master 3S shows an higher value, 2.4 mm, a great difference of 1.40 mm. Anyway, they do not offer adjustable lift off distance through software.

Click and Shift Latencies

Logitech MX Master 3S has higher click latency than Logitech G303 Daedalus Apex, a consistent difference of 3.80 ms, 29% worse Click Latency, which can be evaluated significant, in terms of compared performance. Anyway, we feel it is important to underline that the differences in latencies are often more perceptible from the machine's point of view rather than human's, reducing the real impact of these values and deviations. At the moment there is no available data to compare the mice shift latency, since the data of G303 Daedalus Apex is missing. Contact us to request priority data update. However, MX Master 3S has a shift latency of 20.98 ms which can be considered not so good, compared to a medium quality mouse.

• Other Features 📎

Let's now have a look, finally, to the general features of the two mice. They are equipped with different Switch Technology, MX Master 3S has Omron while G303 Daedalus Apex has Unknown; moreover, the Switch lifespan of first mouse is 50 millions clicks while the second is 20 millions clicks, 60% better Lifespan, a difference of 30 millions clicks that can be evaluated very significant. The Feet Material is different, MX Master 3S (PTFE) and G303 Daedalus Apex (PTFE (250 kilometers)). Considering the available Number of Buttons, 7 offered by first mouse and 6 offered by the second one, a small difference of 1 that can be considered important or not depending on the utilization purpose. In the end, the features offered by Logitech MX Master 3S are Adjustable Scroll-Wheel Resistance, Silent Clicking, while Logitech G303 Daedalus Apex is giving On board Memory, DPI Indicator, RGB Lighting, Customizable RGB.
