Logitech G305 Lightspeed Wireless Gaming Mouse, Hero Sensor, 12,000 DPI, Lightweight, 6 Programmable Buttons, 250h Battery, On-Board Memory, Compatible with PC, Mac - Lilac

I am a Logitech fan, but bought a low quality gaming mouse and regretted every minute of the 3 months I made my arthritic hand suffer. I finally got this Logitech G305 a couple days ago and I (and my hand) are SO HAPPY! It's a perfect fit for my hand, with easy access during gaming to use side buttons and wheel. What I really love is the firmness of the wheel, both clicking it and for scrolling. The wheel has good grip and is far enough back from the edge of the mouse to not get accidentally clicked/rolled. The 4 speed options are great. The battery is way to install and the on/off switch underneath ensures battery life is good. I prefer the extra weight of a battery operated mouse vs chargeable. It is still a lightweight mouse, but I feel like I have more control of it for fast gaming situations. Grip is good, I didn't need to put my stick on grip tape on it. Love the green & purple colors! I have large hands for a female but this mouse fits perfectly in my hand with my fingers not struggling to reach the left/right controls, and not having to rotate the mouse to use the side buttons. So very happy! I play D4 so the mouse gets a workout during play as it holds 90% of my controls.

Been using it consistently for a long time now. It has been great for everything, especially since the Logitech software is pretty solid. The DPI button lets you go between set customized levels, and you can rebind just about every button. The battery life is pretty good, even with the max report speed of 1000hz at all times. Very responsive, no issues so far even with FPS games. Super comfortable in the hand and the clicks are crisp but not 'clicky' and annoying.

Really good quality and connectivity for the price. Absolutely love the texture of the mouse and the feel when gaming long time or short. I would recommend this for everyone. It is compatible with mac windows and also mobile phone. The size is small and elegant. The black colour has a matte finishing and looks great. The led on mouse is very bright and the noise is quiet silent which is perfect for overnight gaming

If you want a solid, dependable mouse, that is also a dream to game with, then this is it. This is my 2nd one, the first one I purchased in 2018 and I have only now completely worn it out....it has lasted longer than any other mouse I have ever owned and is so much better than the others. Fits my hand perfectly, is super responsive and fast. My game of choice is World of Warcraft and it functions perfectly for my game as well as for the graphics and technical writing jobs that I do. The first lasted almost 8 years!?! I will keep buying this as long as they make it whenever I may need another.

No, this is not a mouse case review. Sorry. I was lazy and reused the photo I already took for the case review. Go check that out too and buy them together so you do not have to carry the mouse by itself. Problem solved. Now, this is the mouse review. Where do I start. I did not originally plan to use this as a gaming mouse. Yes, I know, it is a gaming mouse. Maybe I should actually game more. I mostly use it for work, and maybe some very light gaming on the weekends. The main reason I bought this mouse is the weight. I like heavier mice. Is it good for your wrist. Probably not. But I like the feel. Compared to a regular office mouse, this is definitely heavier and does not glide around effortlessly like those super light office mice. It feels more controlled and more planted. Oh, and just so you know, this is not a Bluetooth mouse. You do have to plug the little USB receiver from the mouse into your laptop or desktop. It is one of those tiny dongles, so do not lose it or you will have a bad day. As a gaming mouse at this price point, I honestly do not think much can beat it. Tracking is solid, performance is reliable, and it just works without any drama. For the money, this is easily one of the best gaming mice you can buy. If you want an ultra light mouse that floats across the desk, this might not be for you. If you like a mouse with some weight, solid build, and great performance for the price, this one is hard to beat. Work mouse, weekend gaming mouse, or both. It does the job very well.

I’ve used a lot of mice over the years, and the G305 is easily my favorite one. The weight and size feel just right for my hand, and it’s comfortable enough to use for long hours whether I’m working or gaming. The shape is simple but very practical, and it never feels awkward or tiring even after a full day at the desk. My previous G305 actually lasted about six years of daily use, and the only reason I replaced it is because it was starting to show wear after all that time. That kind of durability says a lot about the build quality. Since it's compatible on both my Windows and Mac OS, and I was already so used to it, getting another G305 felt like the obvious choice. The wireless connection is very stable, and I’ve never noticed any lag or dropouts. The sensor is accurate and responsive, which makes it reliable for both regular computer work and gaming. I also like that it runs on a single AA battery, which lasts a long time and is easy to replace. For me the most important thing is that this mouse just feels right to use every day. It’s well balanced, and simple in the best way. No led which I don't care. After using the first one for so many years, buying the same model again was an easy decision.

I've tried a lot of wireless mice recently and I love the idea of a rechargeable device but they all seem to have a 1-2 second wake time, or require a click to wake which is a total non started for me. The G305 wakes instantly when I move it, which is very important to me, and I just use a rechargeable AA battery. I use it for work and gaming and have no complaints about responsiveness or resolution. It feels solid but not too heavy. I had to disable the left side thumb buttons because I accidentally press them all the time or they bump the side of my keyboard but that's an issue with basically every 5-button mouse and no reason to detract from this model. I bought this to replace a $100 Razer mouse that died and it's been an excellent value.

I rated 5/5 because I think what you get for the money is good, not because it's perfect (at the time of writing I paid $30 including shipping). I'm going to rate the aspects important to me in a mouse on a scale of 10 and give a brief description why, as someone who games competitively. Shape/Form: 9/10 Medium-size form factor. Nothing innovative here but it doesn't have to be. It's comfortable to use and cups in the palm nicely. Weight: 8/10 I'm still not sure if there's a point where a mouse can be TOO light. I personally haven't found that point yet. I've used lighter mice than this and didn't notice much of a difference. I don't feel any extra fatigue using this one. Make no mistake though, this is a light mouse. Buttons: 9/10 It's not loaded with a bunch of extra buttons and I like that. Buttons are what a keyboard is for, not a mouse. That said it has robust mapping options in the software for the buttons it does have. I don't do any special mappings but it's nice the option's there. I had to dock a point for the left and right click. I find the pressure threshold for clicking is TOO sensitive, to the point the mere gravity of my finger resting on the buttons engages a click. This resulted in me needing to permanently flex back my index and ring fingers so they wouldn't trigger clicks. As a result I had to fold up a little piece of paper and slide it under the corners of the buttons to increase the pressure.. This was an easy hack so it doesn't really bother me. It would be nice to have some mechanism to adjust click pressure in future models though. Wireless: 8/10 The reception is good, it feels about as responsive as a wired mouse. I'll only very occasionally get some response stalling for a 1/4 cm of movement of the mouse before it registers. And this only seems to happen if the cursor sits in the same position for a prolonged period of time. You also have to use a special dongle. It's not the end of the world and I understand it's for better performance, but it takes up another slot in your usb real estate and it would be nicer if I could use 1 dongle for all my peripherals instead of 2. DPI: 8/10 This thing advertises 12K DPI and I bought it as a replacement for their 1K DPI standard logi mouse I got for $20. I have no way to test this but it doesn't feel 12x faster. At max settings it feels 2x faster or AT MOST 3x. Now it could be some of this dpi is being used for smoother transitions between points of movement and it does feel smoother and less choppy than the $20 logi. It's max speed setting is pretty good though. It's hard to imagine you'd want much faster than this. It could still be smoother though and if it is indeed 12K dpi as advertised then I could imagine even higher dpi's could be beneficial for the most elite levels of gaming. I think I'd prefere just a touch more sensitivity myself but this is very usable for competitive gaming and I think this would meet the demands of 99.9% of gamers. Closing Thoughts: Good mouse for the money. In the consumer electronics space in general I'd like to see some independent labs open up to test these electronics and confirm their claims of performance. I think logitech is a reputable company and I'm inclined to trust this mouse wields 12K dpi, but how could I ever confirm this? The residential electronics market has already solved this with the common UL (UnderwriterLabs) symbol marking system. This is a seal of quality and an independent confirmation of performance by an independent lab. This ensures reliable performance and protects the consumer against fraud. The current system we have for consumer electronics of relying on reviewers to write (potentially compromised) sponsored reviews is inadequate at this point. There are too many devices out there and the research expected of a single consumer to sift through this endless catalog is far too much.
