G305 Lightspeed

The G305 holds a special place for them; they added grips, aftermarket skates and a lighter battery to it.

Their biggest gripe with the G305 is having no battery-level feedback without modding.

Owning the G102, G203 and G305, they find the G305's wireless makes things much smoother on a small desk.

Finds the G305 poorly balanced with an alkaline AA, still slightly off even with a lithium AAA and converter.

Swapping from the G203 to the G305 improved their aim, with better feet and clicks making tracking and flicking more comfortable.

Switched from a G102 to the G305 two months ago and lightened it with a lithium AAA and aftermarket skates.

A long-time competitive gamer attests the G305 improved their gameplay a lot.

Their G305's sensor started performing badly after three months in Apex, and a friend's new one had the same problem.

Never got used to the G305's centre-heavy weight distribution on flicks.

A G305 user since launch finds nothing matches it at its $40 price.

Would buy the G305 for its perfect clicks alone, better than almost every expensive mouse they've tried.

Admits the G305 is dated in weight, balance, skates and sensor, but likes it a lot for its feather-light clicks.

A newer G305 unit has a lower lift-off distance than their old one, which throws off their aim.

After trying lighter mice they now notice the G305's floaty feel, though they love the shape.

Prefers the G305's shape to the G Pro but feels the Pro's sensor is better.

Finds the G305 pretty good but its lift-off distance is very high on some pads.

Doesn't find the G305 comfortable, yet it is the only mouse they use daily and they aim best with it.

Finds the G305 a little heavy now, but it showed them how good wireless is.

After nearly a year their pinky still hurts after two hours on the G305.

Even with a battery converter, their G305 doesn't feel right because of the replaceable-battery design.

Owns two and would buy a third; calls it Logitech's forever mouse because a dead battery is just swapped, it can be lightened by modding, and the switches can be replaced. Still the best mouse they've used.

“I have TWO (2) G305s and I would buy another one without hesitation. This is Logitech's "Forever Mouse": If the battery dies, you simply replace it”

Their first wireless gaming mouse, with no complaints until the left button began double-clicking; they replaced the switches and run a rechargeable AA that lasts months at six hours a day.

“The G305 was my very first wireless gaming mouse, and I can say that I never had a single complaint with it, at least until the LMB started to double-click.”

After moving to a Superlight 2 they can't believe how heavy the G305 felt with its battery in.

“i've recently changed from a g305 to a superlight 2, and now i cannot believe how HEAVY the g305 with the battery in it was.”

Calls it the best mouse for the price: light, fast and reliable, with years of use and no issues.

“Logitech G304/305 is hands down the best mouse for the price ever made. It's light, fast, reliable. Been using it for years and have had no issues at all”

Hated the G305's shape so much it was the only gaming mouse they gave away within three weeks.

Uses the G305 as their daily driver; its size is perfect for them, unlike a smaller egg mouse that caused cramps.

Doesn't like how the G305 feels in hand and keeps right-clicking by accident when their finger rests on the button.

The G305's V-shaped sides make it one of their all-time favourite shapes for claw grip.

Their G305 had a very stiff left click and slightly worse balance and weight than the G203, with wireless its only advantage.

Aims better with the G305, which feels lighter than their G303 and almost weightless on a good pad.

The G305 was their favourite mouse of all time despite its brick-like weight.

Every G305 they had developed double-click issues, even after multiple replacements.

Their first gaming mouse, the G305, carried them to Diamond, and they went back to it after struggling with lightweight mice.

Their newer rechargeable mouse lasts much longer than their G305 did while weighing much less.

Their G305's scroll wheel problem was caused by hair wrapped around it, fixed by opening and cleaning the mouse.

Upgraded from a G102 to the G305 for wireless and is very satisfied.

After owning many expensive mice, they kept going back to the G305 because its shape feels most natural.

Aims much better with the G305 than the GPX but doesn't use it because of its weight.

Used the G305 for about three years before moving on.

The G305 is one of their favourite mice, which they'd take over the G Pro Wireless.

After trying about 70 mice, they keep returning to the G305 shape because their aim is noticeably better with it, even if not the most comfortable for large hands.

Bought the G305 as a secondary mouse, but after three or four hours of play their hand physically hurts, though they still think it is pretty good.

Used the G305 continuously for three years before switching to a much lighter mouse, realising how much weight matters.

Loves the G305's shape, but after a weekend on a lightweight mouse it felt like moving an anvil.

Moved off the G305 for a lighter rechargeable mouse, but says it is by no means bad, with outstanding battery life on one AA.

Feels their G305 does 90% of what a perfect mouse can and the extra 10% isn't worth paying for.

Didn't like their G305; compared with their G Pro Wired, something about the sensor, weight or balance felt off and the DPI never felt right.

The G305 is by far their best shape but they find the current version outdated.

Bought a second G305 after the first started double-clicking; otherwise a great-value mouse with great battery life and sensor.

Their G305 double-clicks on the left button and a side button and has scroll wheel issues.

Improved a lot in Apex and Valorant moving from the G305 to a much lighter mouse.

Uses the Logitech G304/G305 for work and gaming and is pretty happy with it.

“Logitech G304 (I believe it's the G305 in some countries) Both are used for work and gaming.”

Used the G305 for five+ years and went back to it after the Superlight, which wasn't worth the premium.

“I had a g305 for five+ years.”

Bought the G305 as a travel mouse; likes that the shape matches their G102.

The G305 has been their main for 4-5 years; always comes back to it after trying others.

Two years with the G305: doesn't hate it, but battery life isn't months on rechargeables.

“I've had g305 for around 2 years, I don't hate it. But I don't think it lasts months either on a single battery.”

The G305 with a rechargeable AAA mod is by far their favorite mouse.

“It's by far my favorite mouse.”

Loved the G305 but had to replace switches several times due to recurring double-clicks.

Upgrading from a G209, a user finds their new G305 doesn't glide smoothly after two days.

“after using it for about two days idk the best way to describe my issue other than it feels like it isn't gliding smoothly.”

A G305 owner says the stock feet felt like dragging through sand and aftermarket skates made a world of difference.

“the stock feet on the G305 are kinda trash, ngl. had the same issue when i first got mine.”

Not satisfied with the G305 Lightspeed's build quality; it gets random blue spots.

“Logitech G305 Lightspeed (not satisfied with build quality. Gets random blue spots).”

The only mouse that has lasted for them, though it feels heavy and the wheel isn't great for Dota.

“The only mouse that has lasted is my trusty G305.”

Still working after years, but feels like a brick next to modern mice.

“my g305 is still kicking after years but the weight feels like a brick after using anything modern.”
