What customers like about Lenovo Legion M3

  • Excellent value for money, frequently cited as a top budget gaming choice
  • True ambidextrous design with symmetrical side buttons on both sides
  • Comfortable ergonomics suitable for palm, claw, and fingertip grips
  • Precise tracking with a tunable 8,000 DPI sensor and 1,000 Hz polling rate
  • Lightweight build (approx. 88g for M300 / 57g for M300s) makes quick swipes effortless
  • High-quality textured side grips that remain effective during long sessions

What customers don't like about Lenovo Legion M3

  • Build materials can feel like 'cheap plastic' compared to high-end competitors
  • Side buttons on the non-thumb side are prone to accidental clicks
  • Software (Legion Accessory Central) can be difficult to find or install
  • Clicks are noted by some users as being louder than other gaming mice
  • Basic rubber cable is sometimes described as stiff and prone to tangling
  • Reports of durability issues, such as clicks not registering after several months of use

Verdict

The Lenovo Legion M300 RGB is a wired entry-level gaming mouse featuring a Pixart 3325 optical sensor with a tunable resolution up to 8,000 DPI and a 1,000 Hz polling rate for responsive performance. Its signature characteristics include a truly ambidextrous design weighing approximately 88g, eight programmable buttons, and customizable 1 zone RGB lighting on the Legion logo. Key pros include its durable microswitches rated for 10 million clicks, comfortable textured side-grips suitable for both palm and claw grips, and the convenient on-the-fly DPI switch for rapid sensitivity adjustments. However, some users have noted cons such as the risk of accidental side-button presses due to the symmetrical layout and the lack of onboard memory for saving multiple profiles directly to the device.
