3.8
Product 2: Razer Cobra HyperSpeed
4.2
2.4GHz connectivity
Product 1: Logitech G203 LightSync
1.0

3.9

Grip texture is mixed but mostly acceptable, with stable matte or textured surfaces offset by the loss of Cobra Pro rubberized sides.

handedness options
Product 1: Logitech G203 LightSync
2.3

Handedness is a limitation: the shell is symmetrical or near-ambidextrous, but side buttons make it meaningfully right-hand oriented.

Product 2: Razer Cobra HyperSpeed
