Logitech G305 Lightspeed Wireless Gaming Mouse - Lilac

Mouse works great. I used the logitech mouse "g pro (wired) for years, never knowing that they changed the name for the wireless version to "G305". Battery life is great and it being a AA battery makes it so I dont have to worry about the internal battery going back and struggling to charge. I have large hands and this mouse fits comfortably in my hand. The programmable buttons on the side are easy to setup by downloading the logitech g hub software. You can change the DPI settings, set up macros, and have different profiles for different applications such as different games. The bottom portion of the mouse slides off to reveal where the battery is placed as well as the wireless USB that is required to plug into the computer. It also works well for storage of said USB when you are not using the mouse or to keep the USB from getting lost as its needed for the mouse to work. There is no RGB lighting or anything, just a light ontop of the mouse when you turn it on for the first time or when you use the mouse after being inactive for a period of time. The bottom of the mouse has the on/off switch that is very simple to use. The scroll wheel feels very responsive as well. Cleaning the mouse hasn't ever been an issue for me. I usually use a tooth pick and just slowly go around the side buttons and on the scroll wheel itself to clean it off. I've used this mouse and the "logitech g pro wired version" (which is just the wired version of this mouse that is no longer produced) since 2015. It is by far my favorite mouse I've used.

The Logitech G305 Lightspeed is one of the best wireless gaming mice I’ve used, especially for the price. The mouse is lightweight, comfortable, and responsive, making it great for both gaming and everyday use. The HERO sensor tracks accurately and consistently, and the adjustable DPI settings make it easy to customize for different games and tasks. The Lightspeed wireless connection feels just as responsive as a wired mouse, with no noticeable lag or connectivity issues. I also appreciate the six programmable buttons, which are easy to configure and add extra convenience for gaming and productivity. One of the standout features is the incredible battery life. Being able to use the mouse for months on a single AA battery is a huge advantage and eliminates the need for constant charging. The onboard memory is another nice touch, allowing settings to stay saved even when switching between computers. Overall, the G305 offers excellent performance, comfort, reliability, and value. Whether you’re a casual gamer, competitive player, or simply looking for a dependable wireless mouse, this is an outstanding choice that I would happily recommend.

I picked up this Logitech G305 for my son as he's getting ready to head off to college, and it has been a great choice. He'll be using it with his gaming laptop, and it offers everything he needs without adding extra clutter to his setup. The mouse is lightweight, responsive, and feels very smooth in use. The wireless connection is fast and reliable, and not having to deal with cords is a huge plus, especially in a dorm room where desk space can be limited. Tracking is accurate, clicks feel crisp, and it responds quickly during gaming sessions. We've had excellent experiences with Logitech products over the years. Most of our mice and headsets are Logitech, and they've consistently delivered great performance and reliability. The G305 continues that tradition. If you're looking for a quality wireless gaming mouse that performs well and won't break the bank, this is an easy recommendation

This mouse delivers top‑tier performance, comfort, and reliability. It feels like a natural extension of your hand and genuinely enhances gameplay. Whether you’re a competitive player or a casual gamer, this is one of those upgrades that you feel immediately. If you want a mouse that’s fast, accurate, comfortable, and built like a tank, this is absolutely the one to get.

Solid mouse with good options and feel. Works well, minimal software and annoying junk like that. Kinda fragile, so be careful not to drop it. My left mouse button doesn't work after about a year.

I have been using a G Pro wired for the last 3 years followed by both a black and a white G305 on a desktop and a laptop for the last year. This review is about what I’d like to see in an updated version of the G305 mouse. I really hope that there will be an update because despite various points I will discuss below, it is the best mouse that I have used both in terms of performance and shape. The devil is in the details, and since most of the good design considerations that lead to better mice for us, the consumers are now well established and understood it is more important than ever to really pay attention to the details. 1. Sensor: Bad sensors in gaming mice have become a thing of the past. Sadly this is not true for mice in general, but hopefully soon the “non-gaming” mice will catch on. More on this below. It is important to remember that laser sensors at one point almost took over. Market pressures and advertising every so often can lead to bad decisions. 2. Connection: With the introduction of G305, wireless has become a viable option. I use my G305 with an AA to AAA adapter and a rechargeable AAA battery to reduce weight. My estimation is that I get about 400 hours on a fully charged AAA battery having set the mouse on HI Performance, 1000Hz. This is more than enough, and I think a very good option for both desktop and laptop use, having the ability to easily change rechargeable batteries a few times a year. This is an important accomplishment in the world of computer mice in general, as it should put more pressure on non-gaming mice and their sensors, which currently it hasn’t. Another great option introduced by Logitech is the charging pad, especially for a desktop. A battery whether integrated or replaceable will always add some weight compared to a wired mouse, but having no cable (no matter how flexible) has its own advantages. In order to reduce even more weight what I would really like to see in the future is the use of one AAA battery instead of AA (an adapter has its own weight) and rechargeable mice with a POWERCORE module integrated into the body, rather than requiring an add-on piece. A further reduction in weight might be possible by even removing the charging port, so it would be strictly designed for the recharging pad. 3. Weight: G305 is light in weight, especially with an AAA battery, just under 90g, but it can be even lighter with a more aggressive design. Of course punched holes in the shell are not necessary and even not ideal as stronger and lighter thin shell is possible with a well designed construction. Although it is a marketing strategy, it reveals that consumers are not scared of seeing electronic components. It might be a useful thing to keep in mind when designing mice with replaceable batteries in order to reduce unneeded plastic used around battery compartments. 4. Shape: I am a fingertip grip user. My hand is slightly over 7 inches from the end of my wrist to the tip of my middle finger. I probably have smaller than average hand for a guy, but likely about average overall. I really like the shape and size of G305 as well as the placement of its buttons and the texture of the plastic. It is not perfect, but it comes the closest compared to many gaming mice I’ve tried or used over the years. I do think that there is a small room for improvement, which I am showing in the image that I have included, but any changes made to the shape need to be handled with restraint. The only two areas of improvement that I see is making the mouse slightly wider with more ergonomic curves designed for right hand use only (with a separate left hand version). 5. Buttons: I really like the number of buttons on G305 as well as their placement and mechanism. The mechanism for the two main buttons in particular is a great design which has been used by many of the top Logitech mice for years now, but it does lower the tension which makes the buttons too sensitive. My favorite buttons on a mouse were from Logitech G9x, and although great I wish the main buttons on G305 had the same mechanism as the ones on G9x. Additionally, there is a flaw and an obvious overlook during quality control in the design of G305’s two side buttons. The small PCB onto which the side switches are mounted is either thinner than originally intended, or ended up not quite in the right place, allowing a small gap between the plunger of the switches and the plastic buttons, making it necessary to press the buttons much deeper than they need to be in order to actuate the switches. I was able to fix the issue, but not without opening the mouse. 6. Switches: This is an area that is long overdue for an overhaul. I’m not sure which company first started the trend many years ago of publishing the durability of their switches in number of clicks (10, 20, 30, 40 million), but sadly we have all fallen into a trap set by marketing pressures. Omron, the company that manufactures the switches do sell retail Omron switches with a branding on them Omron Japan, but not rated for this high number of clicks. Apparently some time ago mouse manufacturers decided to start using non-retail switches from Omron, likely at lower prices, which they then tested in-house and assigned the 20 million clicks that their marketing department made us think we need to have in our mice. The only problem being is that those non-retail switches are actually more often than not lower quality than their retail versions and the 20 million clicks rating being absolutely meaningless as it doesn’t represent real life variable pressure usage over time. When once the buttons of a regular mouse that came with an old PC might last for 10 years now might only last a few months before a “20 million” switch starts to misbehave. In case somebody is wondering, Omron D2F-01F for the primary buttons and Omron D2F-01 for the secondary buttons is what we need to have back in our mice. The F version has about half the actuation force, which is great for instant response and effortless repeated clicks, while the other version gives better tactility. 7. Scroll wheel: It seems that for the most part a good design has become a standard among gaming mice. This means no side tilt, no free-spin, and step scrolling with just the right amount of force and feedback. Before buying G Pro I used G303 for about a year and a half. I can see a very clear evolution in the mechanism and encoders being used between G303, G Pro wired and G305. G303 had a fantastic scroll wheel with the only flaw being prone to debris interfering with the encoder sensor. G Pro wired used an encoder that becomes too loose, while G305 is pretty much perfect. There is room for improvement, however. The rubber ridges on the wheel of the G305 are unnecessarily small and pronounced, feeling unpleasantly sharp. The rubber texture of the G903 is a good example of a perfect rubber ring for a scroll wheel. The other area that can be improved is the middle button, and more specifically its switch. The mechanism of the wheel in G305 looks great and will likely allow the middle button to actuate with the same amount of force and give the same feedback as the other secondary buttons, but the switch needs to be Omron D2F-01. Currently the small switch that’s used is fine, but there are mice with Omron sized switches in the middle button and it is definitely an improvement. 8. Software: G HUB needs refinement. This has always been a strong point for Logitech, and their software continues to be great both in terms of functionality and stability, but their new interface needs to be simplified for ease of use. 9. Feet: The original feet are fine, but I didn’t use the mouse with them very long as I had to remove them in order to open the mouse to fix or change some of the parts as discussed above. Unfortunately Logitech still does not sell spare mouse feet for this mouse. This might be due to the fact that for some reason they decided to make one of them very small and with a different thickness than the other four mouse feet. Can we please have all mouse feet the same thickness, not have too many and too small, and not have them cover the screw holes? This would have to be it for now. As always don’t forget to disable “Enhance pointer precision” in Windows mouse settings, and in the unlikely event that somebody from Microsoft reads this, if possible, please kindly make it disabled by default, or better yet, remove the option completely. Thank you very much, and we’ll be grateful for years to come.

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.

Great price, responsiveness and configurability. I cannot speak to the durability just yet, but this mouse has insane levels of sensitivity. Works great on Linux and I'd also recommend using piper to configure it. Work or play this mouse gets the job done. I'll update after a while.

foi pra minha namorada. ela gostou bastante. o mouse usa pilha. pelo jeito dura bastante e é barato pra comprar novas

كل شيء فيه ممتاز افضل قيمة مقابل سعر

Está muy bueno el mouse, excelente para todo uso

great wireless mouse

I was so happy with this mouse that I bought a second one to use at work! It's not very fancy for a gaming mouse (no RGB and only 3 extra buttons), but I don't care. I use it for gaming (first person shooters and strategy) and for work and I am very pleased with the weight, battery life, and accuracy. It is definitely a claw-grip style mouse as it is not very big/wide.
