What do you get when you take 2015's Logitech G Daedalus Apex G303, halve its weight, tweak the length and width, and cut the cable? Well, you get another G303. But this time, it's called the Logitech G G303 Shroud Edition. It's way more powerful and expensive ($130 MSRP) than its predecessor, and it's not for everyone.

Some of the changes made to the G303 were necessary for the mouse to compete in today's gaming landscape. At 2.6 oz (75 g), it's ready for first-person shooters and long sessions. At the same time, it avoids the aggressive sub-2-oz (57 g) ultralight category.

The G303 Shroud Edition is named so because it was made to the specifications of pro streamer Michael "Shroud" Grzesiek. What that means for you, besides some subtle Shroud branding on the mouse, is that you get a wider, flatter device. You'll need bigger hands to find comfort here, and even then, the mouse's pointy edges may turn you off. But if you're bigger-handed and have been seeking a wireless gaming mouse for your fingertip or claw grip, you may find some reasons to pick up the Shroud.
