I use this mouse's cheaper cousin, the "Core" variant, to fly in Planetside 2 (the joystick is bound to manual pitch and roll so that my mouse (which has roll on x and pitch on y axis on planetside) can be used to aim more accurately with lower sensitivity. Funily enough, this mouse also fixed the acceleration issue that occured after the game was ported to ps4. It's a really nice mouse in my opinion, especially considering it (THE CORE VARIANT, THE ROG VARIANT IS 15 MS SLOWER) has the lowest click latency ever recorded and the clicks themselves have a really, really nice tactile feel to them, way nicer than the g903 and 502 I had before this mouse. In order to use the joystick, you do need at least average (male) hand size (19 cm) because if you don't, you're going to have a hard time reaching the joystick properly with your thumb with certain grip styles.

hot swap switches isn't a great thing for configurability, the majority of people won't notice the difference. It IS, however, terrific for replacing a dead/dying switch without having to either desolder then resolder your mouse together(like i'm about to have to do on by g700) or take the switches apart to replace the metal plate that wears out. I'd prefer a cheaper option without rgb, especially on a WIRELESS mouse. Having the joystick there is a nice ada addition. Not sure i'd really like it that much. I still feel the g700 is my perfect mouse. I just wish they'd do a refresh.

I've had this mouse for about 3 months now. My biggest complain is that this thing is creaky as hell. The left and right click buttons feel squishy and shift to the sides when pressing it. It is actually due to the switches rocking in their sockets. replacing the switches fix this for like a week, then it goes right back to feeling bad. Then for personal preferences, the joystick is too far forward to feel comfortable to use. And it is pretty stiff to use as an actual joystick in games, my thumb would get pretty tired, and I'd constantly have to reposition my thumb on the stick due to the stiffness. Overall I still like the mouse. The joystick definitely falls into the gimmick territory for me, juuuust barely though.

So, the G9503 Even though no one cares, I really don’t think this mouse is that good mainly just weight, in no way is it a gaming mouse. It’s trying to be an ergo working mouse and a gaming mouse with a lot of buttons even a joystick but then it puts that annoying RGB which could have been spent on weight (on top of the weight, no ptfe mouse feet or something better that won’t be mostly broken in less than a year). It’s 160 too, unless you want, something for work and gaming which you will also have to replace the feet in about 2 years, you just NEED an unreasonable amount of buttons then this would NOT be the mouse for you, the basilisk is way better and 10 less.
