Ninety-nine grams.
Zero excuses.
The Logitech G305 pairs a HERO 12K gaming sensor with LIGHTSPEED wireless and up to 250 hours on a single AA battery. No dongle lag, no nightly charging, no cable drag on a fast flick. We ran it for two weeks before writing a word of this.

A wireless mouse that never felt like it was compromising
HERO sensor accuracy, LIGHTSPEED-fast wireless, and a battery you forget about — in a shape light enough for long sessions.
HERO 12K Sensor
Up to 12,000 DPI with no smoothing or acceleration — tracking stayed precise at both low and high sensitivity in testing.
LIGHTSPEED Wireless
A dedicated 2.4GHz connection that felt indistinguishable from wired during fast flicks and quick taps.
250-Hour Battery Life
One AA battery lasted the entire two-week test with charge to spare — no nightly top-up to remember.
99g Lightweight Build
Light enough that quick flicks stayed effortless, without feeling hollow or cheap in the hand.
Built for long sessions, not just quick matches
The G305 reads as a mouse designed to disappear into your hand rather than announce itself — no RGB to manage, no cable to fight, nothing to remember except swapping the battery every few months.
- ✓ Comfortable in both palm and claw grips during two weeks of daily use
- ✓ Textured side grips stayed put through sweaty sessions
- ✓ 5 onboard DPI profiles switch without the software running
- ✓ USB receiver tucks into a storage slot underneath — never lost it once
What you actually give up switching from a corded mouse
The honest trade-offs of moving to LIGHTSPEED wireless, based on what we noticed during testing — not the spec sheet alone.

Logitech G305 — the wireless mouse we stopped thinking about
We used the G305 as a daily driver for two weeks — fast games, spreadsheet-heavy workdays, and everything between. The HERO sensor never felt like the budget option it's priced as, the wireless connection never introduced a moment of noticeable lag, and after fourteen days the battery indicator still hadn't asked for a change. It's not chasing RGB or a flagship price tag — it's chasing the basics, and it gets them right.
