The Logitech G305 Lightspeed Wireless Gaming Mouse is designed for serious performance with the latest technology innovations. It features the HERO sensor which is a revolutionary new optical sensor designed by Logitech G to deliver class-leading performance and up to 10 times the power efficiency (compared to previous gen). The HERO sensor delivers exceptionally accurate and consistent performance with zero smoothing, filtering or acceleration from 200 to 12,000 DPI. G305 can save up to five profiles with up to five DPI levels each on the onboard memory. The G305 is very light, coming in at only 99 grams, made possible thanks to the lightweight mechanical design and ultra-efficient battery usage. Take your game to the next level with the Logitech G305 Lightspeed Wireless Gaming Mouse.
- HERO sensor delivers exceptionally accurate and consistent performance with zero smoothing, filtering or acceleration from 200 to 12,000 DPI
- G305 can save up to 5 profiles with up to 5 DPI levels each on the onboard memory
- Lightspeed wireless: a pro-grade wireless solution that achieves wired-like performance
- Delivers up to 250 hours run-to-die on just one AA battery
- Ultra lightweight: only 99 grams
- 6 programmable buttons
- Mechanical button tensioning with separated buttons enhances the consistency of the left and right primary mouse buttons and helps reduce the force needed to click
Pros:
- Oddly enough, I'd say they're actually underselling on the battery life - it seems to be more like 300-400hrs.
- The finish/texture of the plastic makes it extremely resistant to sweat buildup and easy to clean, more so than any other gaming mouse I've owned.
- Works reliably at a much greater distance than suggested
Cons:
- As a lot of other people mentioned, the scroll wheel is the big sticking point. It's not bad for general usage, but I've had to disable it as a keybind for swapping weapons in all games because it will occasionally read a random input or too many inputs when scrolling.
- When carelessly scrolling or using the middle mouse button, it is very easy to accidentally hit the DPI changer (which is located right behind the scroll wheel)
- The 2 main mouse buttons started to "fail" after about 2 years. I was ready to throw it out and give it a worse review sometime last year, but I happened to find a video that suggested lifting the mouse buttons up and putting 1 drop of lubricating oil on each of the square sensors that read the clicks. This instantly fixed the problems, and it's still working fine after another year of use.
All in all a solid mouse. It has some problems, but it's cheap and has lasted a long time so I'm willing to give it 4 stars.
