The mouse wakes up from its sleep mode extremely quickly, even after extended off-time. Solid, sharp, precise, what more can you ask for?ĭropping the mouse from 1000 Hz poll rate down to 500 Hz can further extend the battery life, with pretty much no loss in performance.
The scroll wheel is just as sharp as the buttons too. The battery can be exposed and changed with one hand as well. The buttons are sharp, tactile, and precise. There is no slop or give, solid plastics, everything fits together perfectly. It looks simple, but it feels very precise. There is no charging port, and the battery is in a compartment under the palm rest, which is also used to store the nano receiver. It has six-buttons, a symmetrical shape, but the button layout is for right-handed users. The G305 is a very unassuming mouse, very basic and simple. But I’m getting ahead of myself a bit here.

In its full power mode, it has a 250 hour operational life, from a single AA battery.Īfter a month of continuous use at 8+ hours a day, there is still plenty of life left – my thinking is that these battery life figures are very real, even if a bit conservative. It features Logitech’s well-regarded HERO sensor at a rather absurd 12000 DPI (which is nothing new these days), can use the full 1000Hz poll rate, and last 3-9 months. Logitech’s G305 LIGHTSPEED is a lightweight gaming mouse. Today though, technology has progressed, and not only are there more features to consider, but power efficiency too.
Also the two batteries in it did make it a bit heavy – but not once did I ever feel battery anxiety. Logitech made a rather impressive wireless mouse a few years ago with the M705 Marathon Mouse, which had a staggering three-year battery life – but it was a productivity mouse with limited DPI settings, an off-center sensor, and required the poll-rate to be set to 125Hz – but the free-scroll was nice. When a wireless mouse spends half its time plugged in, is it really wireless at that point? I don’t know who thought a 12 hour battery life was a good idea on a mouse, but apparently, many people bought them, and still continue to do so. So for many years we got just that, super high-end wireless gaming mice with all the bells and whistles of their wired counterparts, but without the cord, and for many, it was bliss – until 12 hours later when you had to plug the damn thing in to charge. Gamers on the other hand, don’t like office mice, they want the best of the best, all the time. Wireless mice have been sold for decades, and these have often been acceptable for office work.
