About the Logitech G705 Wireless Gaming Mouse
The Logitech G705 is a wireless optical gaming mouse from Logitech’s Aurora Collection. It’s a smaller size mouse built for gaming and boasts a softer RGB lighting with white casing. It has a 40-hour battery life and Bluetooth connectivity.
What It Comes With
The packaging includes the wireless mouse, the Lightspeed receiver, a USB extender, and charging cord.
The Set-up
Set-up is pretty easy. It can be used as plug and play with the cord or wireless with the Lightspeed receiver. It’s recommended to download the Logitech G Hub software. This will give you full control over things like RGB lighting effects, DPI speed, and button assignments. There are tutorials for the G Hub software to give a quick overview of what it has to offer.
Appearance and Scale
This is a smaller sized mouse which doesn’t work for me since I have large hands. My wife however thought that this was a great size for her, so guess who will be using the mouse. She connected with it immediately due to the contour and size, and was also attracted to the style. She found the white casing pleasant as it’s a far departure from the typical black and gray mice that we normally buy. The lighting was soft and fully customizable.
It is part of the Aurora Collection, so if you like the appearance of the mouse you can also purchase a matching keyboard (G715), headset (G735), and microphone (Blue Yeti). The keyboard has a cloud shaped palm rest.
Use
The battery life is expected to be roughly 40 hours, which I have no reason to believe that the lithium ion battery wouldn’t support. There are also features to save the battery, such as a timed turn off in case you forget to manually turn it off.
The mouse is lightweight and is geared for gaming. The maximum sensitivity is at 8200 dots per inch. Clicking is quick due to the Lightspeed connection. There are 6 programmable buttons and this mouse is set up for right-handed use.
Overall
This mouse isn’t made for everyone because of its small size. At the same time, the small size combined with its numerous other features begin to target specific crowds really well. Logitech offers a truly distinctive product here and it seems to be well-done.

Great "little" mouse!

The Logitech G705 Aurora Collection Wireless Optical Gaming Mouse is a delight to use ... with a caveat or two. I have been a long-time user of Logitech products both for gaming and for general use/business. Though this mouse is marketed as a "gaming mouse," I found it to be more enjoyable to use as my day-to-day mouse rather than my gaming mouse.
The size is pretty ideal - it is small, but not tiny. I know Logitech markets this as a smaller form factor and that can be a pro and con depending on your hand size and how you hold your mouse.
As for gaming, the mouse is nice and light, nimble, and gives you the option to use plugged in rather than over Bluetooth. I found it to be enjoyable to use and easy to set up (both plugged in and via Bluetooth).
The Color-Sync technology is really much more of a novelty than anything else - though it is a lot of fun the way the mouse is configurable to match what you're doing. On the other hand, I think it's likely more just for show and will likely bleed the battery dry faster.
That being said, the battery has OUTSTANDING life! I have yet to recharge it after using more than a week - at least a few hours every day - and it's still showing 47% battery. Impressive!
As I am a M1 Max Mac user for gaming, I found the Logitech software to be somewhat disappointing - specific to this product. Other Logitech products and their Mac software equivalents are fantastic so I think there's likely room to improve. The button selections and what you can have them do is limited; I actually have been using this more as a work mouse than gaming for that very reason.
Overall, I give this Logitech mouse a very enthusiastic 4-star rating. I am hopeful that further software updates in the future will help with button assignation and compatibility with MacOS

A great gaming mouse at a smaller size

PROS:
- RGB lighting
- Smaller sized
- Built-in storage for receiver
- Programmable buttons
- USB-C charging
CONS:
- White material may require more cleaning
== SETUP ==
If you're not interested in using Logitech's software, you can just plug in the USB receiver, use the USB cable, or pair via Bluetooth and use the G705 right away. The back and forward buttons work without any customization with the Logitech software.
If you do want to get the most of your mouse, I would recommend installing the Logitech's G HUB. This is how you can customize the RGB lighting, adjust the DPI, or customize what each button does.
== DAILY USE ==
I'll start with quite possibly the most important feature of the G705: the size. It's great to find a gaming mouse designed for people with smaller hands. Compared to some of the larger gaming mice, the G705 almost looks like a travel mouse!
Logitech says that you can get up to 40 hours of use with the RGB on. Since your hand is covering it, I don't really use the RGB, so I'm getting MUCH better battery life (haven't had to charge it in almost two weeks of using a couple hours a day). When you do need to charge, the mouse does have a USB-C port, which is great!
I really like that there is a small compartment under the palm area to store the USB receiver when not in use. No more worrying about losing it whenever using the mouse away from home.
If you use Logitech's G HUB, you can program the buttons for different functions or macros. This is great for both gaming and productivity (if you prefer to use one mouse for fun AND work). You can also use G HUB for the RGB lighting.
While I wouldn't say this is a "silent" mouse, the G705 is certainly more quiet compared to other gaming-focused mice. You could get away with using this mouse in an office space or library without disturbing/annoying others.
== BOTTOM LINE ==
I love that Logitech finally offers a smaller gaming mouse. I'm also glad to see to see that micro USB finally seems to be gone! If you want a smaller, high-quality gaming mouse (with RGB!), I highly recommend checking out the G705.

Nice but...

The Logitech G705 is a nice wireless gaming mouse, that you can also use as a wired mouse, but Logitech does not promote it this way. Like many new Logitech products, it pairs and gets configured with the Logitech G Hub. Having used several other G products, I already had the G Hub installed. I used the USB-C connector on the supplied cable to connect the mouse to my notebook. It was immediately recognized as a G705 mouse and a driver was installed. The G Hub indicated the mouse was 48% charged. It also indicated that the firmware was up to date.
I proceeded to let charge to 100%, and used the hub to change some of the color setting and the 3 preset DPI setting (up to 8200 DPI), that can be selected from the button behind the scroll wheel. The two buttons on the side of the mouse can also be set to key combinations or shortcuts for your ‘gaming’ needs.
The primary claim to fame of the G705 is it’s RGB lighting. This lighting is only visible from the rear of the mouse. The bottom of the mouse is solid with 2 oversized ‘Teflon’ pads (don’t try to remove these, they look like white shiny stickers) and an on/off with and a button for BT pairing. The G705 can be pair wirelessly via Bluetooth or the Logitech “Lightspeed” USB wireless adapter. I tried both, and both were nearly as quick and accurate as the wired connection. But I find the wire gets in the way at the worst times, I’ve got to blame my losses on something. Well using either wireless connection I’ve lost an excuse. The White Mist mouse looks very nice, it only weighs 3oz (85g) and is supposed to get 40h of battery life from a single charge. The charge time is underwhelming, keep the charging cable handy. Logitech bills the mouse as small compact gaming mouse.
I wish it was a bigger with longer battery life. I think the light weight, and small size makes it a bit small for my everyday use. For my XL hands have used the M650 and M510 which I find are a better all day fit. And for gaming the G502/Hero has better specs, but no BT or RGB lighting. Its gaming performance is excellent I tried it with Rainbow 6 Siege and Minecraft and found no lag, the mechanical mouse clicking was very satisfactory.
I could easily use the G705 as a gaming travel mouse, but it’s small size, will likely find me reaching for another for daily use. I like the RGB effects, it a great looking mouse, with some compromises due to its small size.

Nice gaming mouse

Logitechs new Aurora collection seems to give gamers who want the functionality but not the over the top looks a nice option. The mouse is lightweight but has a nice solid feel and the look is clean without being overdone. The RGB lighting is very subtle and adds to that tone down feel the Aurora collection offers. Some gaming equipment can definitely be over the top in terms of design and lighting, so it’s nice to see a line such as this. It would be nice to see Logitech offer the Aurora collection in other colors though, but keep the matte look.
Setup and use is the same as any mouse such as this on a pc as it’s plug and play. Logitech includes an extender for the Lightspeed receiver so you won’t experience lag. The Logitech G HUB allows you to customize everything from the lights, assign different functions for buttons and change the DPI. People with smaller hands will also find this mouse much more comfortable due to the size. The Aurora collection gives you the gaming functionality, but in a more muted and less flashy package.

The Logitech G705 is a great wireless gaming mouse.
It's a very good fit for my hand, comfortable, responsive, customizable and pretty.
I love the size of this mouse. It fits great and all buttons are so easy to reach. The shape allows my hand to hold it with no discomfort. No extra stretching or finger gymnastics to use.
The 3 dpi settings allows me to get the setting that works best for me. The responsiveness is important in games, and this one does the job. Scroll and side buttons have given me no problem at all.
I like the look of the white mouse even without the colors, but with the colors it's very pretty and I think the white base is perfect to really show them.
Connection was simple and automatic as soon as I plugged it into my computer. Charging is quick using USB-C cable that is included, and the charge lasts a very long time. I use mine daily for hours and only charge it once a week. I've honestly never had a rechargeable mouse hold a charge as long as this one does.

Aight look mfs, I’m no mouse mastermind or gaming technologist— ik that’s not a word, but that’s not the point, this mouse is SO pretty. Like this mf had me geekin just by the look of the box. I know almost $100 is also VERY crazy for a mouse (imo), but this mf is PRETTY. I was worried it would be to small bc I’ve got
some decent sized hands, but it’s fine! Honestly, I really like the size. The light customization is cool too :) it compliments my set up well. I got the keyboard too, also a major w

I got this as a present for my GF. Its generally a pretty high quality mouse. For the most part Logitech rarely misses on delivering a good gaming mouse. Its got good ergonomics for someone with small to medium hands. I have larger hands and its still pretty comfy to use. It has customizable RGB lighting and the biggest plus is its wirless and has great battery life. Its bee a few weeks with light use and still havent needed to charge it. Would buy again!

Small Hands Be Gaming in Style

The Logitech G705 Aurora is the perfect mouse for folks who find current gaming mice to be too big for the size of their hands. My wife loves it. We’ve had it for a few weeks now and the G705 is her favorite mouse. I wish battery life were a tad better. If it came in black, it would blend in better with non-aurora peripherals. Still, this mouse has performed well, and it syncs easily with other Logitech RGB devices. If you have bigger hands, you’re better off looking at other mice, but this mouse was designed with women and those with smaller hands in mind. For those users, this is a good performing mouse that just “feels better.” My wife now swears by it, and for those reasons, I recommend the Logitech G705 Aurora.
Setup is simple. The mouse comes with a charging cable and a lightspeed USB-A wireless receiver. To customize DPS and lighting options, you will need to download Logitech’s GHUB software from their website. For those lacking USB ports, the mouse will also work over Bluetooth. I used the mouse on Windows 10 and 11 computers. For those looking to take this mouse on the go, the top panel on the mouse comes off and has a storage slot for the USB receiver.
In my tests, moving the mouse cursor was responsive. I never noticed any lag or delay using the USB receiver. Syncing light effects with other Logitech products was simple. The only downside is that you can’t sync the aurora effects with non-aurora line products.
Left and right button clicked well. The mouse was relatively quiet during clicks.
Battery life is not the worst I have experienced, but it will need to be recharged after a couple of days of gaming. Thankfully, charging doesn’t take long. It’s easy to monitor battery life and charging status from within GHUB. You can always plug it in to charge while using.
In conclusion, I think this is a good mouse. I think it’s going for a very particular demographic and for those users, this mouse will work well. A longer battery life, would have made this a five star product for me, but, as it is, my wife loves it and I think that’s more than enough reason to recommend it.

It's a wonderful little mouse that feels comfortable to use for long periods of time, the battery works great, and it can connect in three different ways: corded, Bluetooth through your device, or Bluetooth through it's own dongle. You can program the buttons, change the lights, and set your DPI. I use it for gaming and work, definitely recommend!

Mouse was expensive but I found it to be worth my money. It lasts a long time without charging it. I’ve been using it everyday for the past month for a minimum of 10hours and it still has not died in me. The changing colors are nice. And it is smooth and fits in my hand perfectly for gaming. Only thing I wish it had was directions that have words on how to hook it up and how to work it. The pictures wasn’t easy to understand personally.

If you got junior whopper hands, or you better control over your mouse and want something less then 80grams. This mouse is perfect for you. Easy to set up, pretty, and lightsync is always easy to use. 10/10. Only complaint its a bit pricey.

Great little mouse, especially for travel and will easily fit in a backpack pocket. Feels a bit pricey, but It's light, portable, and comfortable if your hands aren't huge. The RGB isn't necessary and I mostly ignore or disable it. It matches a white aesthetic like the Asus G14 well.
