Logitech G - G304/G305 LIGHTSPEED Wireless Gaming Mouse

I ditched my old wired mouse for the Logitech G305 Lightspeed at my standing desk for [this gaming mouse](https://www.reddit.com/user/PhtmBolt/comments/1jsmyvi/best_wireless_gaming_mouse/), and I only wish I would have done it earlier.

Personally I did not like this mouse and returned it. Felt cheap.

I used g402 for years love it so much, I bought g305 to try wireless. Horrible experience cursor jumping lagging so many issue am sure sensor is faulty

On my "light gaming" laptop I use a Logitech G305 currently, and it's been really good, but most cordless mice don't seem to last me more than a 2-3 years... On my main Linux gaming rig at home I only use wired USB mice and have had a Cougar Minos X3 for over 7 years now (wow, I looked and got it in 2017, I really didn't think it was that long) and it's given me zero issues the whole time on any distro or game.

Does that justify it? G305 is literally 100 dollars cheaper than this LMAO

I see, I feel like I use Fingertip Grip more often, I have a G305 right now and my hands cramp up after a couple hours like crazy

Sub £100? G305. Looks like a regular mouse with a G logo on the back, no RGB, no software needed if you use onboard memory manager and the whole thing runs on AA batteries for ages.

Logitech g305 any keyboard

i love my g305 with kailh silent switch 🤘🏼

For 40€ I bought Logitech G305

Never had a gaming mouse before, so I bought it based on this threads responses. This thing is so much faster than the M720 I've been using as an all purpose basic one. I didn't expect to feel a stark difference since it's not like it's an expensive mouse, and hopefully it's not a placebo effect. But it does feel better now that I went into the HUB and upped the DPI a bit

Yah I got the 720 just when I needed a wireless mouse and it was the only decent lookin one at Wal-Mart lol. But this 305 was sub-30 bucks on sale so I said why not and I really like it so far. Nothing fancy, but I do like the feel even if the actual mouse itself feels....very cheap plastic.

I have a g305, which has been my only mouse, but now the right click is failing. I have pretty small hands, and don't really have a preferred grip type. I also mainly use my mouse for gaming. I have looked at some mice, and the 2 that have stood out to me were the VGN F1 Moba and the VXE R1 Pro Max. I have seen that the main differences are the shape and the moba uses Huano switches while the R1 uses Kailh. I am also open to other suggestions, but don't want to go over ~60 unless it makes a large difference.

None of these hold a candle to the R1. Waiting for the restock is worth it. Chimera has QC issues, V2x was too heavy for me even with an AAA battery which is what made me shift to the orochi. G304 is fine but R1 is better.

I have very large hands and find it very comfortable for claw grip

Ive got a Glorious Model O 2 Pro and it has zero holes and no visible LEDs. Glorious had some issues with QC in the past, but at the moment they seem fine, and they always did right with me. Also a G305 is a awesome mouse for the pricepoint, if the shape suits you.

There are many options under 100, steer away from mainstream brands though they are way too expensive for what they provide. Especially stuff like logitech g305, they are very old tech wise. I will give you some recommendations with different price points. Ninjutso Sora 2. Lightest non-combed mice under 100. VXE R1 Pro. Great budget option, Pro version is the one to get not the others. Lamzu mice are overall solid. Endgamegear i think has the best build quality mice, they are a bit more expensive for their tech though. WLMouse Beast X variants are great if you wanna go over budget for something different, it is magnesium. I use VXE R1 Pro and Endgamegear xm2we. XM2we feels superior in build quality but r1 pro is way lighter.

With all due respect, you think it is good because you don't know any better. Its quality is actually terrible, like all the logitech products. It is prone to double clicking. I have used the wired version of g305 and the wireless and they both started to double click after a couple of months. I have used their flagship at that time, superlight, it also produced double clicks after months. This is very common with logitech, just google it. Not to mention g305 is a brick compared to newer mice, way too heavy and unbalanced because of the battery. I seriously suggest you try something decent and affordable, like vxe r1 pro. You don't know what you are missing.

Logitech G305. It gets the job done and a single AA battery lasts months.

logitech G305 for a solid option that isn't going to hit your limit

My all time favorite is the Logitech G305. If you’re looking for rechargeable, the Keychron M3 isn’t bad but I’ve only been using it for about a month. It’s a tad larger than the G305 but MUCH lighter, almost feels empty when you hold it which I personally don’t like as much but to each their own. They have an RGB version and in my opinion it’s not ‘overly gamer’ but they have a non RGB version as well. There are likely some better or higher quality mice out there but if you’ve got a spare $30 I’d recommend trying it out and returning it if you hate it.

Bought this mouse like 6 months ago, and I love it. Really smooth glide, responsive buttons, and the click wheel is the most satisfying of any mouse I've ever used. It's on the smaller side, but I've got pretty big hands and it hasn't been a problem for me.

+1 G303 or g305 are very ”cheap” but still good quality

I like using mouse ambidextrously depending on what I'm working on, so I to stick with the 305.

I buy a handful of these anytime they are on sale. I like to keep one on hand for myself but often give them to friends/co-workers. It's been my go-to travel mouse for around a decade now.

Honestly, I’d love just one small g305 sized mouse with some additional buttons. Every mouse I’ve seen with more than 2 side buttons seem to be some kind of behemoth.

Hyper X Haste 2. Very clean looking mouse. Amazing battery life, rechargable, very lightweight. Good sensor too. Logitech g305. Budget option, 300 hour battery life with a single AA battery, feels solid in the hand, good sensor, but heavy by modern standards. These are the two best mice I've ever owned for reliability, clean looks, affordability and performance per dollar.

G305 - still solid - maybe not for large hands Asus gladius 2 - suitable for palm grip, even has hotswap Steelseries rival 3 wired is all I can think of atm, just don't do the "flashy rgb with shitty internals" thing.

I have two that I have been using daily since 2021. Never had a failure. Also gave my parents one in 2022 and it is fine.

The issue with double click also happened to me with g305 mouse

Most pros use a Logitech Superlight or a modern Razer Viper/DeathAdder. All of them use wireless. You'll generally be fine as long as it's light, wireless & has a good sensor. Something like the Logitech G305 is a popular budget end gaming mouse. I personally use DeathAdder V3 pro, & previously owned the 1st G Pro X Superlight. The DeathAdder V3 Pro is easily the best mouse I've ever owned, light but large enough for my big hands with solid side buttons. The Superlight performed well but was less comfortable & ultimately the side buttons are terrible, one of mine even broke & collapsed into the mouse. There's a few sites with helpful information, Rtings in particular stands out.

Give orochi a try, a lot of people like it. If you dont the g305 is endgame with mods like lr44 mod. I modded mine to 70g and its amazing. Havent still found a better mice for 17-18cm hand than g305 honestly.

I own 4 of these for gaming/work/travel and recommend!

I've had a Logitech G305 for like 6 years, I think I paid $60 for it.

Logitech G304 (305) na ata ngayon, been using since 2020. Of course nagkaron nung 'double click' eventually pero napapalitan naman ng switches that can be bought online, hinang hinang lang. Panalo sa repairability.

Brothas got the goat g305. Damn that brings back memories of me crankin 90s in 2018 against controller players in fortnite. Really wish they released a superlight pro version

I've dropped my mouse around 50 times and it still works ..perfectly i thinks ? its a cheaper one too. logitech g305 wireless if im on a budget the next time i buy a mouse il be buying this mofo again yo

Try a G305, genuinely.

I have used the Logitech G305 for many years and I'm very happy with it. Cheap, low-latency, no cables getting stuck anywhere, battery last months and feels well. I used to play Overwatch a long time ago and got to high Masters with this mouse :) This page makes good reviews in general and has more options depending on how much you want to spend: [https://www.rtings.com/mouse/reviews/best/by-usage/gaming](https://www.rtings.com/mouse/reviews/best/by-usage/gaming)

This to me should be the default PC gaming mouse. I always say to people, unless you KNOW that you want something else (and WHY you want it), this is the mouse to get. The cost, the performance, the wireless freedom. This is what to get until you have a reason to want something else.

If you have a mouse you're happy with, maybe not. But I've had a number of these Logitech wireless mice last a long time. I prefer higher-end mice most of the time, but like I said, this is IMO the guy to get when you don't have a good reason to prefer something else.

Oh the M720 is kind of a brick and has a low polling rate compared to good gaming mice. (But fine for what it was made for) I mean the G305 is on the heavier side compared to high-end gaming mice, but it’s a feather compared to the 135g of an M720. And the latency of the G305 is like half of the M720. I would expect you to feel a quite real difference between the two, especially in twitch gaming.

Logitech G305, it takes one double a battery and last for months, I believe that the last time I changed it was in December with daily usage. If you want to make it rechargable buy a pair of rechargable batteries and you're good to go. It have never failed me since I bought it, and I don't remember when I did it xd.

yeah went from frustrated G305 user to G502 Hero enjoyer. I wont ever buy another mouse I think. Price and quality are crazy. I was really surprised Logitech still had a good product somewhere lol

I got a G305, budget version of the G Pro. I love it, man.

The G305 was my first mouse I loved, I’ve since upgraded to the G502 and it’s even better.

Try Logitech G305. It’s about same size not too expensive and build quality is way better than redragon.

I have acquired a Razer Deathadder V3 Hyperspeed. I am impressed by the quality of the materials used and the low latency, which I believe makes it the best mouse I have ever used. I have previously used the MSI Clutch GM11, Logitech G305 and Attack Shark X11 models.

I wanted to like this mouse - bought it a few weeks ago when it had the same sale price. The USB, depending on where I plugged it in, was not reliable. Cursor would jump around when the USB receiver was plugged into my powered USB hub. Bummer. Like others have said, it is small. Coming from any normal Logitech gaming mouse will feel different. That being said, it seemed very suitable, when working, for a home office mouse. The battery *does last forever* which is its best selling point.

While a nice idea, that isn’t feasible with laptops generally. I agree, though. I returned the mouse and went back to a Bluetooth one. Unfortunately, I use a usb hub to switch between systems. Anywho, just a PSA for others. Not all of us have one system or want to have multiple mice to support multiple systems.

I wonder how more long term reviews will be for this mouse. I have the G305, but I ended up using my Dell corporate mouse with USB + bluetooth because of reliability. After 2 years, right when its warranty ended, my right click stopped working. I opened it up and cleaned everything and it is fine now, but after another year, the left click double clicks consistently, and cleaning it up doesn't seem to help. Clean up is also a pain, it requires removing stickers. Edit: I fixed the double clicking by blowing my breath into it. Apparently the first Google Reddit stupid fix works. I'd get the G309 because it seems to be the best of both (I *really* love that extra button), but I don't know if it would be reliable long term. How's the battery long term? Does it have a low power mode like the G305? I keep it that way and the latency is still amazing, and it last like 3-6 months on spare AA batteries which can no longer power anything else. It's probably the best thing about it. For the weight obsessed people, you could probably get a month of battery with a pinhead battery and a copper wire.

G305+QcK Heavy Winter Soldier ngl I don’t aim train I just play the game

I've bought two of these. The first was my main gaming and work mouse. It got a lot of use in 3-4 years, I bought another when it got worn out. Now I have a G502X for gaming at home and bring my G305 to work. I've recommended the G305 to friends looking for their first gaming mouse or as a great work mouse. Honestly I'll probably pick up another G305 replacement at some point for work.

Says $28.50 for me

I came from the G203 as well and the G305 was a huge step up in comfortability. Logitech really made something special

I really enjoy my Logitech g305 and it’s super badass for the price, 35$ U.S. right now, very minimalist looks, 2 extra sude buttons and adjustable dpi with a single button click on top

It’s super sturdy as well, I have a 4 year old that thrashes mine around while I’m at work and it’s still working like day 1 a year later

had it for almost 9 years and i just started have problems last year

I used to use a g703 before switching to a g305 and it took sometimes to get used to and I got a lot of cramping, but now I prefer g305 and switching back to g703 feels weird. I'm looking to upgrade it to a Maya (non x). You might want to give it more time to see it it changes for you.

I wouldn’t recommend the G305 as someone who owns one. It has terrible weight distribution, requires battery changes every few weeks, and is overall a heavy and uncomfortable mouse. There are much better Chinese alternatives at a lower price with better specs.

I’ve used the G305 for gaming for like 5 years lol that lil guy is durable and extremely light. Love it.

zowie b v2 series has really thick plastic walls, much thicker than the newer c or d series. or just regular b series but that's downgraded in a lot of ways. if u can find either of them new. there's also metal mice but the base is generally brittle plastic with honeycomb holes and quite easy to crack since the metal doesn't bend to give any structural leeway, if you drop it on the base it'll break even easier than a plastic mouse. g102/203 are ok too but outdated sensor wise. ironically the older g pro wired is better, especially the oldest 3366 variant (you can distinguish them via sticker shape on the bottom and cable). g305 is ok too but the clicks on mine went to shit after a while so i just use the g pro 3366 instead. the pro intellimouse also has some fans seems fairly well built, but i've never tried it.

Can vouch for Logitech's G305 like everyone else here, pretty good bang for buck, one of the best mice I've ever touched, the regular version is all black except for Logitech's logo that is a silver grey, and the only LED is under the DPI button and is mostly turned off.

Yeah! Actually I also have the older wired g502, but I prefer the g305 because it's smaller, lighter, and works better for my fingertip/claw grip I usually use. The side buttons are great and I love the scroll-wheel though. It might be my best choice for wireless.

I swapped out the switches to silent ones and it became a good stealth gaming mouse.

I love the g305. It’s my go to recommendation for friends and family. Great wireless mouse and one triple A lasts easily over a year. All for like $35 bucks.

This one is my work mouse

G305 is the only real answer. Plus it's easy to find for $45 sometimes lower.

Not bad with a lithium AAA and simple adapter, though. It's also kinda small. Not as small as like a portable laptop mouse, though - just on the smaller side of normal. Anyway, this is a good mouse that's possibly the best value choice, with the lightspeed sensor!

Ooh thanks for the tip! My g305's scroll wheel went on the fritz, even after a deep clean and removing hair etc... The g305 really is a value gem; it's just a little small. Also, on the other end, there are a lot of mouse shells out there that use g305 internals. It would be nice to have a slightly larger, G Pro-shaped body but with cheap g305 internals.

Yup I gotta agree - the MX Master is too heavy and slow polling rate for gaming. Also enjoy the MX Vertical for office work and general browsing (keeps your wrist from hurting). I love the g305, and eventually got a G Pro Superlight refurb - they're both simple, super light, and they just work. The g502 is a good option as well, but is heavier and has a "gamer" style... Although it's fairly tasteful IMO.

I think there's some clarification needed. The answer simply depends as there's different types of wireless connections. Bluetooth is not a good experience for gaming, but most wireless gaming mice don't use Bluetooth. They use their own adapters with their own connection system called something different between companies, but those wireless adapters should be as good if not better than their wired counterparts. So the answer is that a wireless connection is more than acceptable for a proper gaming experience as long as you buy the right product and not rely on some $15 Staples mouse. For a wireless mouse under $50, there are options like the Logitech G305 and the Attack Shark x3. Both will do just fine, but you'll have more and better options by increasing that budget to $100. \[Edited spelling\]

Logitech G305, that’s what I’ve been using for +2 years. Great for work and casual gaming.

G304 is good, been using for 1.5 years kind of bulky but you get used to it.

I'm loving my G305.

I couldnt stand the G305 for work or gaming.

i got the blue one, but thinking of getting the purple one too just to rotate em

Ordered G304 for 2k this week

That little logitech G305 definitely punches above its weight for the price. I have one for my work laptop and my main mouse broke a little while ago so I used the G305 instead, it's fast and accurate with 2 side buttons and it's really cheap. I thought I'd be using it temporarily but it's absolutely solid.

Any update how this performs? I am looking to upgrade again. Noticed this problem from my G305 now to the Deathadder V3… and the deathadder I have just gotten a week ago and already causing issues.

Nah, I have large hands and love this mouse. Claw grip.

Get logi G304 it's the budget king it works seamlessly for long run also

I'll just add the g305 feels huge, the xd7 is already a bigger mouse compared to that Logitech, so I would go for either the xd7 itself as a slightly larger option, or the Zaopin z1 pro as a size closer to the Logitech. Both are much lighter than the Logitech, but I don't think it's an issue, if the shape is right, then you can get used to it pretty quickly.

Don't go for kreo it's trash tbh!! You'll get better mouse in comparison to that . Go for g304 it's a good mouse will last you around 3-4 years without any issues . That was my 2nd gaming mouse and If I have to buy again I will buy it without any doubt fs

"gaming" is just a marketing term, it doesn't mean anything useful. When looking for any product, you should look at what features it actually has, and which ones you need (no need to buy something with 1000x features if you're not going to use them). This video is a great explanation about cheap vs expensive mouses: https://youtu.be/hp-ASYtCDNE?si=M14jc3hFjDo0Zbl2 Mouse vs Controller = 100% personal preference. I personally use them in different games/genres, so I recommend having both. Logitech g305 is usually considered a great "mid-range" mouse, it costs around $50.

I have the blue, white and black one haha One at work, one at home and I just keep the 3rd in my laptop bag in case I ever need it out and about

Since you’re looking for a smaller, lighter mouse for both productivity and gaming, I’d say you’re on the right track, but I’ve got a few recommendations based on your needs: \- Logi G305 – yeah, a bit dated now. The sensor is good but the weight (99g with AA battery) might feel a bit heavy compared to modern lightweight options. \- Razer Basilisk V3 X Hyperspeed – on the larger side. So if MX Master already feels big might not be the best fit. My recommendations: \- Razer Orochi V2. Super lightweight (60g without battery) and compact. No RGB tho. Great battery life \- Logitech G Pro X Superlight (If you find It on sale) \- Pulsar X2 Mini. Ultra-light (53g), wireless, and designed for small hands

G305 reliable good cheap

It's 35$ Incl. Tax here. Sorry bro than it's not the right one.

My personal experience with the Deathadder was not that great. I got it from Amazon around 6 months back, but recently the power/mode switching button stopped functioning properly (the mouse wouldn't turn on or sometimes randomly turned off while using it). This might have happened because I frequently switch between my work mac (bt mode) and personal pc (2.4ghz mode). So I have sent it for RMA, hoping to get a replacement. Meanwhile I got the G304 (as it was in-stock :) ), and the experience has been good for the past couple days. Really liked the quick connectivity due to the lightspeed tech (deathadder usually had a couple seconds delay).

thanks,, got one

i agree... but these ALWAYS fail after the 1 year mark... but cheap enough where I'm fine with the "subscription"

same

it's back to 26 rn

Not sure...G305 works just fine in Piper for me so far

Order of importance for peripheral quality is as follows: Mouse< Mousepad< Headphones< Monitor< Table< Keyboard< Chair< So the answer to your question is yes, it's not just important to have a good mouse, it's the most important thing your of setup if you're trying to improve at CS. If you want a good cheap recommendation, you should try the Coolermaster MM720, which is ugly as fuck but really nice comfort-wise, or the Logitech G305 for a really good wireless option. The G305's shape is like a more comfortable office mouse, so if this is your first time trying to get into gaming mice I absolutely love the G305. For more the best options, there's really only 2 logical picks for mice and that's the Logitech Superlight and Zowie EC2 Wireless. They're both genuinely worth it and at the highest level are the most used mice for their great build quality and comfortable shapes. Hope this helps you make your mind up :)

Honestly I'd give a bad review for the G305, had it a couple years and M1 double clicks with M2 sometimes not registering. It's a good mouse but I can't recommend it especially as im not the slam the mouse type of gamer either

I swapped to Logitech after buying Razer for years and love their stuff. Their base Logitech G305 has outlasted the 2 Deathadders, the Copperhead and the Naga i bought from Razer before i realized im wasting shitloads of money on that brand.

Click on the link and see "Purchased another variation 2 times". I probably do need a back up though.

Logitech G305 has a great sensor for gaming and Lightspeed wireless. At the price point (€40 where I live) nothing comes close.

I was about to recommend. While I don't know how deep the mouse rabbit hole goes, this mouse has been fantastic. I don't play hyper precision FPS games, but for anything else it works more than fine. Insanely good battery life too. I have rechargeable batteries that I must change like once every 3 months at the shortest.

Gave my 2 year old G305 to my dad (had a donor shell) with huano transparent bspd on the main and side buttons two years ago, and it still runs fine today (he doesnt play games, he uses it as his office mouse). Goated mouse

Returning a G309 I just bought as a new work mouse for another G305. Love this mouse. The G305 is a no-nonsense everyday mouse but with the benefit of 1000hz poling rate vs 125hz of a bluetooth or non-gaming mice. Recommended lower-key work mouse for people who notice the tracking difference on non-gaming mice, but I would happily daily drive this as my gaming mouse too. Physically, the G305 is smaller than my G502x, but the shape of it fills my palm for a relaxed palm grip. The G309 shape is symmetrical and i have to claw grip it since it is not tall enough for me to palm grip. G309 clicks are crisp af, but everything about how its shape feels in hand is a downgrade from the G305. I prefer that i can use rechargeable AA batteries instead of having to plug it in to recharge a built-in battery. Don't have to think about the battery for multiple months on mine. Downsides for the G305 are that the plastic feels budget and has normal logitech switches that may probably double click some day.

I have two G305 and love them. Is there any maouse that is similar but just a bit bigger? I love the mouse but I have big hands.

Damn, this is a revelation. I was thinking about buying a desoldering pump, and maybe a soldering iron and tin if I can't find where I put those, 'cause my g305 main click is releasing in the middle of a selection or drag action all the time... but it didn't start there, first I got a g500, that had terrible issues with doble clicks and early releases after about 3/4 years so Logitech sent me a g500s, over time that developed the same issues but then I was out of warranty, then I got this g305. I still could go nuts soldering and desoldering on the old wired g500/s, but I'm ordering one of those modular pcbs and some switches right now for the wireless one, hell yeah.

I absolutely love my g305. Using a battery mod with rechargeable AAA. There is no need for wires or charging pads. Perfection.

Nah, the Logitech G305 is fantastic. What does it being old actually matter. The response time is fast, it's good quality, it lasts long. Literally nothing wrong with it. I got the lilac version and I'm in love with the color. It's so pretty even if it doesn't really match my stuff.

Ayy man, Idk what to tell you, as far as I'm concerned that's just down to abuse or something. I've had one for a year and a half and still perfect. A bunch of the people I work with have the same mouse and they've all had theirs for years, one over 5 years. I've used it, it still works fine. We all take care of our stuff and it lasts. And I've used expensive mouses, I've used plenty others. Sure you can get better, 100%. That's obvious. But for the price, you get a fantastic product with the 305. I've never been bothered by the weight, it's more than light enough and I've never noticed it being unbalanced. But hey, I'm always open to new stuff, maybe I'll grab a vxe r1 pro and see. If I do I'll let you know if it changes my opinion.

maybe a Logitech G305?

It doesn't have RGB or anything, but has a lot of nice aesthetic color to choose from.

For cheap American mice the g305 is a gold standard. But yea there are many Chinese alternatives around the same price that outperform it imo. Still a 9/10 mouse for the price, love mine had it for 2ish years still pimpin.

Been using Logitech mice for the past 15 years or so. My favorite ones are G Pro wired and g305. Really you don’t need any more than a g305, unless you want more buttons. You use a free tool called piper to configure the mouse, or you use a Mac / windows PC to configure it’s on board profile.

I bought a G305 to throw in my backpack for use with a laptop and it's been great. I am not a big fan of "gamer" aesthetics, especially in public, and it does great being low profile while having a good amount of buttons, and is very cheap for its quality level. I'm sure there's better stuff out there for the price, but I am happy with my purchase

Idk why gamers are so obsessed with weight. I highly doubt it could change someone’s performance THAT much. If you’re bad you’re still gonna be bad even with an ultra light weight mouse. Besides, not many people even play that competitively to begin with. You’re not competitive imo unless you’re playing in actual competition with a prize pool. Regardless of what anyone thinks of that though, this mouse isn’t really for hyper competitive gamers who are picky about stuff like weight. As someone who feels like this is the perfect mouse for me and what I’ve been waiting on for so long now, I feel this mouse is targeted more towards casual gamers. People who work, have other hobbies, other devices, and maybe only play games sometimes. That said this mouse also being Bluetooth is super important to me. I’ve been looking for a gaming mouse with multi connectivity and uses AA batteries for so long now. It’s a massive rarity and I didn’t like the offering from Razer because I’ve found out that there’s connectivity issues, and Razer doesn’t seem to be doing anything about it. Ngl I ended up switching out my G305 to a Pebble, because multi device capability has been more important to me. The point about AA batteries as well though is such a good feature imo and I wish more gaming mice had this option. Back in the day people actually loved this. The idea you can just pop in a new battery (rechargeable or disposable) really quickly was great, and the battery life is usually much better than most internal rechargeable mice from what I’ve seen. The reason for that I think is simply for the fact that a big battery would bring more weight, and so that’s why mice with an internal battery tend to have shorter battery life. Most gaming mice are just so weight obsessed and won’t give us that big battery, except for mice like the MX Anywhere series which is mostly designed for work. So yeah honestly I’m super happy to finally see a gaming mouse that seems to target my needs very well. I’ll be getting a G309 ASAP. Forgot to mention as well, coming from a Zowie I was never a fan of the shape of the G305 when I got it. I got it for the AA long battery life feature and budget price despite not being multi device, but yeah the shape was uncomfortable. Reviews back then even had the same argument about it, but somehow people are now praising the shape and wishing Logitech just made an updated model instead of this.. Weird.

The issue is, people keep buying them. Like I get the R&D for lightweight mouse can be expensive, but... $179 is pretty nuts. As long as people keep buying them and paying the esports tax, they're gonna keep selling them at this crazy price. I have a G305 that feels really similar to the G Pro for 1/3 the price, with a similar but albeit nerfed Hero sensor that was in the 1st gen G Pro.

Exactly. The G305 feels really similar, but at 1/3 the price. I don't truely understand why the G pro light is all the rage. I used a G pro for a week, and while it did feel very smooth and responsive, I also had a G305 that felt very similar.

Idk if I can justify $150 cad for a mousepad, and $200 for the mouse. I'd much rather just change the batteries, or charge the mouse every month or 2. I daily a mx master 3, and only charge once every month, same with the G305 (replace the battery).

My Rival 5 had issues with its scrollwheel which apparently was pretty common, fixing it required to take the entire scroll mechanism apart and bending a plate into place. I ended up replacing it with a Logitech G305 wireless and thats been much better imo

G304, Deathadder V2 X Both you can get as low as 2k in offers. Deathadder is tri-mode

Every Logitech mouse has that issue, there's a 2 year warranty and after that you can change the switches

My G305 lightspeed finally died after 4 years of MOBAs.  I had purchases a g602 lightspeed off FB for $10. At the time it was over $100 MSRP. When I asked about the proce, he said he used it once and decided it was too much mouse for his needs. Anyway, I plugged it in and hated it. I decided to give it some time because it's bigger, has more side buttons, and overall doesn't feel comfortable to use. Fast forward six months, and I don't hate it, but I will never get used to it like it did the g305. So if anyone has a recommendation of a mouse that fits my hand like the g305, but maybe has inductive charging through a (even if proprietary) mouse pad, I would appreciate the feedback. Otherwise, I'm eyeballing the G Pro X superlight.

Please dont get logitech. I warn everyone for their mice. I have been a logitech user for long - g102, g304, g502, and now using g pro x superlight. But every freakin mouse gets double click issues. I thought I paid 10k for a mouse it will not have that issue but guess what - logitech doesn't cares. Go for razer please.

second the 305. I have it. My only complaint is that Logitech lightspeed receivers don't play super nicely with other receivers.

Thing is there are actually good mice for much cheaper from alot of these name brand companies. Like the Logitech G305 for example

can second this, pretty good mouse to use. unfortunately the one i initially bought broke (encoder inside mouse wheel somehow broke off??) but i got a replacement under warranty very quickly.

If you played online FPS games you'd see a big upgrade in weight reduction alone. 99 grams is heavy by today's standards.

Well the G305 is way heavier and a different shape. People that like the superlight shape wouldn't typically find the G305 comfortable.

Logitech g304 eyes closed. The best sensor amongst these three.

I had a g604 for a couple of years until it wasn't clicking anymore.. damn I loved that mouse how it fitted my hand. Didn't wanted to get the 502 because it was wired . Got me a cheap g305 and it decent for it price

Logitech 305, nun crazy and not the most high end thing out there, but she gets the job done better than your ex.

actually made my wrist actively hurt while using it, and I'm not a couch potato either. I lift regularly. It's so bad for ergo. The G305 is better, but again, switches wear out quickly. Which I guess is what you get for a $30 mouse.

With the same exact shape you have logitech g305 (wireless but heavier) and mchose g3 (wireless but lighter and overall better in my opinion).

My G25 is pushing 18 years old and works great. Extreme 3D pro is 10 years now, still fine. G305 mouse is 6 years old, works like new. What of their products have not met expectations for you?

My PC was $4500 but my mouse was $40, 6 years ago. My G305 has done me no wrong and haven't felt the need to "upgrade".

I switched to a Logitech G305 a few months back and it’s been solid. It uses the Lightspeed dongle so I never worry about Bluetooth, the shape is clean enough that it doesn’t scream gamer gear, and I get snappy tracking with minimal lag.

Logitech G305 is my go to. I have one at home, work, and one I keep in my laptop bag. Lightspeed wireless, the battery last forever, and i've been using mine without failure for years.

Came here to say this. Best mouse I ever bought and it's probably the cheapest too.

IMO Logitech G203, or G305 if you want wireless, and 90% of people would be set for a good decade.

r/MouseReview regular here, this list is hot ass. Wouldn't recommend near decade old Logitech mice. I guarantee the majority of the subreddit would say Mchose G3 >>>>>>> G305, just as one quick example.

G305 is a great mouse. M330 silent plus is also great (for normal office mousing)

I had a G305 and it worked wonderfully for around 2 years before I started encountering double clicking and the rotary encoder failing. I would 100% recommend it if you want something from Logitech, but I recently replaced it with a Chinese mouse and I’ve never been happier

g304 , going good after 2 years

Yes. It's an excellent mouse.

Sold and Shipped by Amazon, black color only. Lowest it’s been since amazon all time low back in [August](https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapcsales/s/ChjE8CJApE) it’s my favorite mouse ever personally

I have medium sized hands, it’s definitely a smaller mouse but not too small. Definitely not for people with large hands.

depends a lot on the mouse grip you use too for size and shape give it a try at this price and return if it doesn’t work

I have used both the g304 and deathadder, personally I find razer more comfortable and the scroll wheel is better on razer

G304 has lasted me 6 years so far :)

Not with mine.

Razer Viper Mini is a great wired option for around 1.5k or below. For wireless options I dont know any that I haven't read qc issues about, maybe something from Rakk? If you can stretch to like 1.8k you can get them the Logitech G304 Lightspeed, a classic and reliable wireless mouse.

I like it. My first one did develop the double click issue. Logitech sent me a brand new one no questions asked and it's been fine.

Such a good deal. It's a bit on the heavy side though. A Superlight version would be my end game.

i use a logitech g305. I like it cause its simple, have 2 buttons and its not too expensive as most of good ones

I had 1 of these that failed within a year, so did the replacement. The 3rd one they sent had a broken scroll wheel but since the warranty doesn't restart I got stuck with the worst of the 3. I tried the G Pro first since I just wanted a good mouse, and moved to this one after having click problems with that one too. Now I don't use Logitech mice after probably 10+ years of using them.

I made my g305 even better by using a AAA battery and a AAA to AA converter case. 14g lighter now

A bit late but I'd recommend the X3, the G304/G305 is 100ish grams heavy and most of the weight is focused on the rear, thanks to it needing a AA battery

I’ve used both g304 and deathadder, great mice. Razer’s software is better than Logitech’s but build quality is comparable, plus more buttons with the Deathadder.

Have owned and used this mouse for my WFH setup since covid lockdown and aside from having to replace the battery like once a year and cosmetic wear and tear, no issues.

Been using mine since 2019 as my daily driver and still kicking. Installed grip pads cause the sides were wearing out but other than that, still functions. Purchased 2 as backups whenever they go on sale because I’ve heard stories about these failing after a year or so but they’ve just been sitting inside the box.

lmao, happened with my orochi v2. Tried to clean it with electronic contact cleaner but then sensor decided to die. Got it replaced and sold it. Using my g304 whose switches gave up, replaced them and now its running great. Gladly, scroll wheel hasn't gave up yet.

This is what I use. I like it so much that I bought one for my partner and a few back ups.

I have the G304 and looking to replace it with the V2 X Hyperspeed soon. Its unfortunately started double clicking a little, waiting for it to be unbearable before I drop the cash

If you don't have a small hand - that's not the mouse for you, I tried it - it's very small

non pro viper wireless, razer deathadder, i'd argue g305 lightspeed, xtrfy m42, wired zowie, superlight 1, glorious wired, some lgg mice, some vaxee mice, endgame gear op1k. All these are like 25-80€ if my quick currency version is right. Some of these are wireless too. Especially if you snipe a sale you can get a really good deal. in "top tier mice" I mean the ones that are basically the same shape as the "standards", superlight 2, viper v3 pro, deathadder v3 pro, etc. Obviously the tech is a bit worse, but we were hitting insane shots on mice 15+ years ago, even the worse mice are 100% good enough. 4k/8k polling doesnt change that much, and thats the major sell of the more expensive mice. I've managed to pick up qck+ for like 10€ on average the last few years, always on sale somewhere. Otherwise a sale on a lgg saturn (standard), zowie gsr (any version you prefer). Qck might not be the longest lasting, but it's usually on a good sale so you never really have to fork out more than AT MOST 40€ a year on it if you're really picky with pad and swap it 4x a year, but most ppl usually keep it for 6-24 months atleast.

Logitech - G305 LIGHTSPEED Wireless Straight black, feels good, and cheap. I just got one and i love it.

Counterpoint. It can be hard to grasp initially, but the mouse wheel doesn't push/pull the cargo to/from you directly, rather it sets the distance at which you'd like it to be. I have a basic g305 that has very pronounced clicks, and the tactile feedback allows me for very precise maneouvers. Hand beams don't show this easily, but when in ship mounted tractor, the ui clearly shows the desired distance vs current distance. So overall i guess it varies per usecase. 

In 2025 there is just no reason to be using wired gaming mice anymore. If price is a concern Logitech have solid options under $100 like the G305 which is like $40 and well reviewed. Perfect for laptop gaming. Don’t listen to anyone trying to sell you nonsense with 8k polling - just meaningless marketing garbage. And I use a Lamzu Maya 4k knowing the 4k polling is nonsense, I just like the size and weight and excellent side buttons.

Hi yes I have a a great recommendation. The Logitech G304 which is a great mouse and also comes in a variety of colores including blue/white. https://www.logitechg.com/en-in/products/gaming-mice/g304-lightspeed-wireless-gaming-mouse.910-005284.html Just be careful where you buy it from there are fakes out there! And it's not even a very expensive one.

I was using a g304 I love that mouse but the only issue is that mouse will double click for sure after a year. I currently use the razer v2x. It is a great mouse but changing battery has costed me around the price of mouse itself in just 1 year. Basically it has a very less battery life (Now i use rechargeable batteries) Other than battery life, razer v2x is a great mouse

G305 is one of the best purchases i’ve made. Can’t recommend it enough.

I've been super happy with my Logitech G305. Just black w a logo. I think I've changed the batter once in 3 years of ownership, use it for my wfh daily and gaming a few times per week

I have 18x10 hands, but I like smaller egg shaped mice like the Logitech G305, Razer OrochiV2 and the Zaopin Z1. Do not like fingertip mice though, those are too small for me and my hand cramps up painfully whenever I use them.

I use the Logitech G305 Lightspeed, which is USB bound. I feel like it is very similar to the G309 in many ways, and I love my mouse. It's clean, has a nice feel, never buggy (except for on carpet) and Is great for competitive games or just games you want to chill in.

I recently replaced my UHURU Wireless gaming mouse with the Logitech G305. This mouse is really smooth, works great with all of my games, and has decent sensitivity settings. Overall, I would rate the Logitech G305 an 9/10. (UHURU on left, Logitech on Right)

The Logitech G305 Speed light? Yeah, it was recommended to me by another redditor and I love it for gaming. But hell no the UHURU mouse sucks

Had a g305 for what... About 7 years before it finally died. Pretty sure it dropped or flew across the room over a dozen times in those years. Used it as my portable/work mouse.

I wanted to ditch cables without flashing neon so I grabbed the Logitech G305 Lightspeed. The dongle stays tucked into my USB port and I get a solid month of casual gaming on one AA battery.

g305 is nowhere near gpro in terms of feel or quality, though I get ur point

Very happy with my g305 after using a shitty wired Corsair mouse for several years, but I don't have much to compare to lol. Feels like good bang for buck at least :)

My friend and I got the [Lamzu Atlantis mini pro](https://shop.hid-labs.com/product/lamzu-atlantis-mini-pro/). It's stupid light compared to my G203/305(?)

G203/305 If logitech made a lighter weight g305 with superlight2 internals i'll never own another mouse again

Logitech g502 or lightspeed. I wouldnt go with razer as i went through like 5 deathadders, and all of them developed a double click problem (i play alot of games that require alot of clicking). Had the logitech lightspeed for some time now and its been solid.
