My Logitech G-403 has an illuminated "G" on the heel as well, but I never really see it because my hand is always covering it...

True!  I have a work PC in the same area as my home PC.  I'll eventually get used to it - but for now, it's the first thing my eyes drift to when I'm walking towards the desk.

Nice mouse I recently purchased a G502 for the upgraded sensor from the G500 and regret it.
My thumbs are so big when I use the mouse during gaming sessions in the evening I lift the mouse off the pad:/
In the hunt for a diff mouse again.

lol Steele Series were just exposed for an incredibly anti male and trashing male gamers with their ridiculously stupid viral marketing campaign bully hunters SJW madness. 
 
I'd return the mouse with a hand written note telling them to pound sand.

You know how many hours i spent looking at mice to find this one.

I completely agree on Button 6.  I loved the placement of the 2 side buttons on my EVGA Torq X10.

I'm already thinking about returning this SteelSeries Rival 600. The silicon side "grips" is not doing it for me at all. It requires more pressure to hold onto the mouse compared to my g500s. It always feel like the mouse is slipping out of my hand. That will a pointless  Button 6 i can't reach due to how i grip the mouse, this mouse is not worth $80 to me. 
 
I might give Logitech g502 a shot, going to visit bestbuy tomorrow and see if they have it on display. If it's within $5 of amazon price, i will picked it up, if i like the feel of it.

BestBuy will price match so your good if you go there instead of online. Bring a copy of the page with ya or have it loaded up on your phone to show them.

Thanks for the tip. I will print off the G502 page from Amazon.
 
 
 

Dropped off the Rival 600 at the UPS store, already have a credit on my Amazon account for it. BestBuy did price match Amazon on the G502 for $45.99 , that saved me $5. I came close to getting the g403 but they didn't have any in stock. If i can catch the g403 on sale for under $40 i will pick it up.
 
I did get the chance to try a few Corsair mice finally. I didn't care for the side grip on the Glaive RGB, the sniper button on the M65 pro was in a bad spot for me. I wanted to test out the HARPOON but they didn't have any on display or any open packages for that mouse.

Just a note. Best Buy only price matches if the same product is "both shipped and sold from Amazon".

Good point X, I should have mentioned that. I usually wont deal with third party sellers at newegg, amazon etc... cause of a lot of the protections you lose and the loop holes they get so its not usually a consequence I have to deal with, but that doesn't mean others don't. @Sim, your welcome brotha, Its what these forums are supposed to be all about.

I noticed the same issue with my thumb and the G502. I was going to modify it the mouse wheel on it, but now i'm just going to take it back to bestbuy for a refund. I ended up ordering a G403 from Amazon.

I bought a 2nd hand Logitech G403 on ebay months ago which I can buy a new one now for the price i paid... but never regretted it. Love it, wish there was one more extra button on the side but other than that I feel like this is perfect for me - very good for fps. Being able to do app profile which is very cool and do macros on the keys and different lighting although the lighting on this mouse is very dodgy, doesn't really work properly but I don't really care about that.

 
I too wish the 403 had 3 buttons on the side, even if one of them was smaller like the g500s.
 
I'm testing out the G403 now. I went from Rival 600 to G502, to now the G403 (wired version). The G403 mouse wheel feels better to me over the G502 metal mouse wheel. It's not loose like the G502 wheel and it's not metal that has a poor grip to it. My hand no longer feels cramped holding onto the mouse, my thumb is not forced to rub against textured hard rubber when i want to lift the mouse or have a nice grip on it.
 
Will see how long i stick with the G403. 
 

My girlfriend uses a steelserries and has liked it and the mouse has held up well to her playing Diablo 3 so I don’t think you have to worry about a problem with clicking.
