Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought one in January, and now the right button stops working any more. I contacted Logitech customer service, and they just pointed me to a bunch of useless software updates to waste my time and let me lose my patience, while this is clearly a hardware issue.

Horribleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Sensitive for precise movement making your gaming experience even better.

It has a difficult time pairing with the computer.

It broke within the first 2 weeks and I wasn't able to return it.

everything i wanted, great soft war and good price 

Left click broke within 2 weeks don’t think it’s common but still bad quality for my specific mouse

Not a fan, I love Logitech products, previously i had the master series mouse and nothing compared to it but this one keep doing funny things every time. Win 11

I could not get all info on how to use it such as middle button

I am not a gamer but the mouse is great for my needs

Too small. Overrated mouse........................

This isn't a gaming mouse. The ergonomics are wrong, and button placement is bad. The back/forward buttons on the side are usable, but not for gaming. The DPI toggle is on top, but there is no scroll wheel toggle. This mouse is going to go into my backpack, for occasional laptop use. There is no left/right on the scroll wheel. This is a basic mouse that's good for browsing. Being that's it's 'Lightspeed' it's a good value for the money. It's just not a gaming mouse.

I wasted many hours trying to use this mouse with my MacBook Pro 2019. It would not sync despite the drivers that i downloaded as they stated in the instructions. I ended up getting a Mac related mouse and it was perfect. So I returned this mouse and was glad that I did.

Didn’t work but for about 3 weeks. Never returned it will not buy again though

I can't beleive can bad this mouse is. I bought it for my brother for gaming but he didn't like it as it skips frames when rotating game subjects and not smooth at all. Choose a different mouse instead of this.

I love the shape of this mouse but that is were the love ends. The mouse goes to sleep quickly and takes a second to wake up. When gaming this can cause delays in your actions and I find that unacceptable for a gaming mouse.

Transitioning from my well-worn Logitech G602 to the G305 LIGHTSPEED Wireless Gaming Mouse was surprisingly more difficult than I expected. The relative simplicity of the mouse was a welcome change from my gamer-oriented gear that preceded it, ditching a large, button-laden, and overstyled mouse for something that would not look out of place in an office or professional environment while maintaining precise tracking and gaming performance. This midsize mouse delivers on its sleeper ambitions, but a couple issues I found in a week of daily use keep it off the top spot on the leaderboard. - Design The G305 is a medium-size, medium-weight, all-plastic mouse that mercifully foregoes full RGB lighting and features a single status LED that only illuminates when the mouse turns on or DPI modes change. The ambidextrous chassis makes it comfortable for both left- and right-handed gamers, though the positioning of the auxiliary function buttons make this favor right-handed players as the two side buttons are positioned to be in easy reach of the right thumb. With a body cast fully in finely textured plastic with a rubberized scroll wheel, the mouse comes across unassuming but lacks a premium feel. The benefit instead is that the mouse has a modestly trim weight, at 74 grams empty plus the weight of a AA battery (typically 25g). Using a lithium-ion battery in lieu of a standard alkaline makes a small but noticeable difference in weight. As with prior Logitech wireless gaming mice, the USB receiver has a compartment inside the mouse for storage and transport. This time around, the palmrest slides off to access the battery and receiver rather than removing a panel on the bottom of the mouse, making them much easier to access. - Setup & Software Logitech has been slowly working towards clean, minimalist packaging and the G305 fits the bill handily. The notecard-size quickstart guide outlines the basics to get you up and running, and the only extra accessory included is a USB extension cable to position the wireless receiver closer to the mouse. Setup was as simple as installing the battery and plugging in the receiver, as Windows will, by default, automatically either recognize and install a generic mouse driver or download a G305-specific driver. Setup is similarly easy on MacOS and Linux devices, but driver choice will be limited and unfortunately button and DPI settings appear to be adjustable only through Windows-based software. Logitech provides the Gaming Software application that opens customization options for most of their devices, including the G305. While I was not impressed by the software’s install size and general bloat, the interface was intuitive and allowed full remapping and macro functionality for every button on the mouse, as well as DPI settings and on-the-fly adjustments, that can all be written to the mouse’s internal memory. Up to 5 DPI setting toggles can be saved to the mouse and toggled between with the push of a button. In essence it is possible to set the configuration once and take it to any other PC without the need to install or run the Gaming Software. - Performance The LIGHTSPEED sensor worked on a wide variety of surfaces I tested, including both soft and hard mouse mats, a wooden desk, and a plastic folding table, with no noticeable variance in tracking quality among them. The feet on the mouse are fairly low friction and glide across all the aforementioned surfaces with ease. Tracking is very precise and can be customized from as low as 200 DPI for intricate graphic design work to as high as 12,000 for...well, maybe I’m not that level of gamer yet. I use from 400 up to 3,200 and at all levels the mouse felt extremely accurate and performed well in each of my use scenarios, with 1,600 being the most well-rounded option. Though everyone’s preference is different, the G305 is sure to suit a wide range of users. The mouse has six buttons plus scroll wheel up/down, which is a basic loadout for a gaming mouse. There are firm stops between each notch on the scroll wheel, making accidental activation difficult (which is a huge plus in games where the scroll wheel is used to change weapons, for example), and it is tricky to accidentally trigger a button in most scenarios. Unfortunately, I found the positioning of the DPI change button meant I would often hit it as I grabbed the mouse in a hurry after typing a chat message and getting back to the action, throwing off my aim and needing a moment to reset myself. This occurred multiple times and is not a disruption that serious gamers will enjoy. The button can of course be remapped or disabled entirely, but losing a button on a mouse that has so few to begin with is troublesome. One area that could use some attention is the signal strength between the mouse and receiver. Logitech’s quickstart guide recommends a range of no more than 20cm (just a hair under 8 inches) between the mouse and receiver which is very short, and in my testing I found major signal degradation can occur in as little as a foot and a half. Even when plugged into the USB port on the right side of my keyboard, keeping the range as short as six inches, I occasionally had signal issues that caused the mouse cursor to jump around significantly. These occurred with battery life at 90% per the Gaming Software, with the mouse sitting at least 6 feet from all other wireless devices I own at all times, making the signal issues all the more peculiar. I do wonder if a firmware update may correct this issue in the future, but at the time of this review the latest mouse firmware (68.0.11) exhibits this seemingly random connection problem. - Bottom Line Mice are subjective, and though the G305 is smaller than my large hands prefer, and barring the random connectivity issues, this is a good all-around mouse with understated looks and solid gaming chops. Its MSRP is reasonable for what you get, and Logitech’s support has historically been great which should bode well for current and future owners. While it may not unseat my preferred mouse, this is a solid contender that many users will undoubtedly enjoy from start to finish. Take it for a spin!

taking much longer arrive than predicted. it wasn't shipped until the day it was supposed to arrive. multiple delays for seemingly no reason and no updates were provided once shipped.

This mouse tracks perfectly, accurately. ALL the time. It does not miss a beat. Some wireless mice stop tracking, like they hit a tar pit. Move it around or pick it up and down and then it works again. Those days seem to be gone with this mouse thanks to the HERO sensor and LIGHTSPEED technology. This now a requirement in all my future mouse considerations. This mouse is super light yet has a nice rounded top. The buttons are crisp and responsive, but too light. No need here to hold your fingers up to avoid accidental mouse clicks. They can securely rest on the mouse body comfortably. What a difference a few ounces can make! This mouse is a breeze to use all day. 250 hours of battery life in continuous high-performance game mode and 9 months in normal use seems excellent. That’s over a month of 40-hour weeks in gaming mode. I use rechargeable lithium batteries to save cost, and they last longer. They are also a few grams lighter, not that I really noticed. This mouse come with a LIGHTSPEED receiver you must plug into a USB 2.0+ port. This mouse does not support Bluetooth or the Logitech Unifying Receiver used on their non-gaming peripherals. I still keep a big multi-button non-Bluetooth mouse to the side for some apps where that shines, so I lose two USB ports for my mice and a keyboard. There's no acceleration feature as found in typical mice, as that can mess with accuracy in game play. However, you can set up to 5 different resolutions and quickly click between them using the button behind the wheel. I use 1,200 DPI mode to move around my two big screens quickly, but can crank it down to 200 DPI with a click to do precision graphics work. Ergonomically, the fit is small for my hand that need a Large to XL glove size. The search for the perfect mouse continues, but this will work meantime. I appreciate that there is no lighted logo or other gimmicky features that do not add to the performance. The G305 is like a Porsche. It can do the mundane commute in traffic without incident, even make it more enjoyable, even if it is on the small side. But when your ready to play, it really comes alive and rewards you with every input you give.

Product came to me damaged by forcefully putting the battery cover on.
