Best Wireless Gaming Mice UNDER $50! Rival 3 Vs Katar Pro Vs G305

[@vfilipx3183]

I have had the logitech g305 for two days now and i love it. As a person who thought it was going to be too small, it felt natural in my hand.

[@thepsychicflame]

I’ve had both the g305 and orochi v2 and let me tell you if something ever happens to your g305 or you just want to try something new I HIGHLY recommend the orochi v2, you can get it for $50 regularly on amazon even tho at launch it was $70 and trust me you can tell the difference in build immediately, they are both great mice but the orochi just feels a lot more premium and Ik this is a personal thing, but I felt like I could get a better grip on it because it filled out my hand a little more (I have pretty big hands tho)

[@NielsWeijmans.]

Thanks for this great review.👍

[@Smillii]

Logitech does have lower battery life on paper, though ironically it outlasts my Rival 3, which only made it past 8 days. The biggest gripe with g305 for me is that my mouse wheel started rubbing against the front end of the plastic, making it very hard to scroll, hence why I got Rival 3 in first place.

[@syarifairlangga4608]

bruh my g305 scroll whell also sound terrible, i want to switch the mouse but i like the click feels and the grip is comfortable for my size

[@Smillii]

@@syarifairlangga4608 I got mine replaced by RMA for a new one and it's really loud now. I haven't checked but I bet there's third party mods or solutions in general you can get to upgrade the mouse. I used to know someone that replaced all the switches on their G502 for example. I can't see why you couldn't do other mods as well, as well on other mice like our G305. I just can't be bothered to do any of it myself.

[@Elchameau504]

@@syarifairlangga4608 had the same and fixed it just by removing the rubber on the wheel, now its just plastic but it scrolls like a normal mouse

[@colinwendt9992]

I have two of these three mice, so this was a helpful review in comparing all of the similar models. I also did not realize the Rival 3 Wireless could run on a single battery; good to know. I ended up retiring my Logitech G305 after using for a few months because it doesn't have a Bluetooth setting, which became cumbersome moving the wireless receiver every time I wanted to switch from my gaming desktop to my work laptop. My laptop also only has USB-C ports and the use of an adapter for the USB dongle introduced some major performance issues. Definitely a great mouse otherwise. Because I came from using the Rival 3 (wired) before my G305 purchase, it seemed logical to try the Rival 3 Wireless as a replacement for both gaming and work setups. It's been great for gaming, but I have two points of contention with this mouse: when it falls asleep, it does not wake when moved (a button or click must be pressed to wake) unlike the G305 which feels literally seamless, and no settings in the SteelSeries GG software can be adjusted while in Bluetooth mode; only USB wireless mode. Both obviously have their pros and cons, so hopefully my experience can inform someone else's buying decision.

The g305 is defective. It started double-clicking randomly and I only own it for a bit more than 1 year (never been damaged or anything). I checked the buyer's reviews and apparently it's quite a common issue. Guess I'm going to try the Corsair now.

[@sebasrojas00]

I tried AAAA batteries instead of AAA on my new Rival 3 and they fit. I didn't even have to use tin foil, they stay put. They are much lighter than AAA batteries and my mouse is lighter now, and if I use only one AAAA it's even lighter.

[@anasmohamed6013]

hey i wanna buy this mouse and since u have it for 5 months can i have a report about it in long term?

[@g.george]

Yes please update

[@JimboJamboYT]

a single lithium AAA battery and battery converter can bring down the G305 to the same weight as the GPRO Wireless. You effectively have a GPRO Wireless with a different shape. Also the software allows the mouse to run in eco mode when a game isnt launched so your battery life is extended by a ton.

[@georgianciucu9407]

did you get the rival 3? how is the battery life??

[@JessicaFEREM]

I bought the G203 because it has a long battery life and is easy to mod, I can add pre cut grip tape, custom mouse feet, etc and make it a good mouse. I also like that they include a $13 accessory, the mouse receiver base, and I think every wireless mouse should come with one, as I've had some serious trouble with my corsair mice being laggy because they're not facing the mouse. These gaming mice receivers are so sensitive to placement that you basically need that little base to get a solid and reliable connection. Logitech has had the best 1000Hz polling because it doesn't seem to lag certain games nearly as bad as corsair or razer has for me

[@Kai_pies]

Do you mean the g305?

[@JessicaFEREM]

@@Kai_pies oh yea. The g203 was on my mind since it's the wired variant

[@MrAlfredkwok]

some say using 3A battery with adapter also makes the mouse lighter and helps with weight distribution

Yeah I have seen some people doing that. Never personally tried it, but might be worth it. Would just reduce battery life a lot.
