Logitech G305 LIGHTSPEED Review - Still Worth it 2023?

[@tudor_8883]

The battery lasts more than 250 hours. I have been using this mousse for 2 years and a battery lasts me about 6-8 months with about 5-9 hours a day P.S.(the Duracel battery last for the longest time )

[@liamboyle9199]

There's 2 settings though, normal and endurance and I'm pretty sure they say about 9 months in endurance mode.

[@abcdefgh6121]

Do you use rechargeable or normal batteries?

[@BlastKast]

I use the endurance mode and it's absolutely insane. Not great for super competitive gaming but honestly I use it as a travel mouse because it's just so portable

[@MrFrings89]

If you use Energiser lithium batteries, they last almost twice as long as alkaline, and they're half the weight too.

[@Leof234]

Is there a warning before it runs out of battery

[@RedSunFX]

Here are some words of experience from someone who has used this mouse since 2020. Overall I like the mouse a lot, insane battery performance, very low latency, comfortable form factor and all that for a very reasonable price. However, I've had some issues that make me hesitant to recommend this mouse to others. First, you have to make sure to keep the receiver very close to the mouse (an extension cable is included) or you might experience some dropped inputs. This distance is a lot shorter than you might be used from other wireless mice. After about 2 years, I had some problems with drag and drop actions. Basically, while physically pressing the left button, it would lose contact for a moment and interrupt your "drag" (this messes up highlighting text, scaling images and dragging windows). To fix this, I had to open up the switch of the button and bend a small metal piece back into shape. This fix lasts for a few months. Lastly, I had the scroll wheel become very stiff after three years and needed to lubricate the mechanism. Overall, I will continue to use the mouse until it completely dies on me, but it feels strange having to perform maintenance on a mouse. I remember using very cheap mice as a kid, treating them with way less care and not having such issues for years on end.

[@jack-ge1023]

To add to this, I'm currently looking for new mice as I am currently a G305 user and have also experienced the same issue of "interrupted dragging" the culprit is that the switch is double clicking on a single depression of the left mouse button. to resolve it I'm using an Auto hotkey script that removes that second input which has extended the life of this mouse but now a new problem has risen in that sometimes the mouse will click when releasing the button. the thing that I find interesting is that my mouse also started having this issue about 2 years in [Currently 2 years 2 months since ive bought this mouse]. For what its worth the G305 is a great wireless mouse for its price, but due to clicking issue I'm sadly going to have to get a new mouse that performs as well that will last me a long whiles without costing too too much.

[@leventestancz4522]

Hey! I am considering buying this mouse. You mentioned that the receiver should be close to the mouse. How close are we talking about? My current mouse receiver is on the desk with an extension cord about 40-60cm from the mouse itself, is that good distance for this mouse?

[@RedSunFX]

@@leventestancz4522 I think that should be fine. The most important thing is that the mouse has a direct line of sight to the receiver.

[@nunoschumacher6028]

Unfortunately, this is a Logitech issue, not just for this mouse. Many of them have it, including my G pro wireless

[@MtheStar]

Of course the scroll wheel is gonna get sticky you’ve been using it for 2 years 😂

[@abhijeetsinghchauhan34]

My tip: When you get the chance, use some WD40 on the switches and the rotary encoder, this will make all the double-clicking go away

[@C0RY0]

[@abhijeetsinghchauhan34]

@@C0RY0 Yes it will help in double clicking also

[@YaBaDji]

I have this mouse, in less tan a year the switches failed, so I had to solder new ones from a crappy asus mouse and its working fine, I love the shape and performance.

[@sandercohen5543]

I like mice with really long buttons, because that way, i can regulate myself how much pressure it takes to press down, and it also improved travel time, so if you need to click really fast, you click very far away from the actual switch position to click faster.

[@mrpgr2321]

So I got this mouse since december 14 2020 with a Corsair pad. I bought it in special with Best Buy. I was a big Diablo 3 player and had a wired 2001 Logitech office mouse that was getting me nuts. So it was a game changer. But I have to admit I do not use it to game really as I do not have a gaming pc and I play more on a xbox one. Anyway The mouse is very good for drawing photoshop office protools etc. A must buy. I got it black even if I wanted the blue one but it was 25 dollars cad higher for the blue vs the black so why paying 25$ for nothing? I got the black. It has no fancy color led flashing etc. and to me it is good as it is annoying at time.

[@emmanuelseucharan6691]

40 bucks!? my local store wants to rip me off and charge 60 euros, smh. im hoping its a decent replacement for the g703 hero lightspeed. that thing's great, but the scroll wheel and switches started being funky pretty quick.... pretty quickly after warranty, that is >.< main reason im looking for a decent yet cheaper option is that i can just keep buying expensive mice if theres planned redundancy going on. If there is, I can't be sure, but im sick of my devices failing shortly after warranty. Mice, headsets.. ugh. The weird thing is, the g703 lightspeed is older than the 305 (honestly their naming is so confusing. 305 looks way older) but that same shop still charges 100 euros for it. Not sure what exactly the differences are though, lack of RGB aside (which I really dont mind if it reduces the price!).

[@koniglp6473]

I have compared the Logitech G305 with my Corsair Harpoon wireless in the same price range, and I have to say I like the Corsair waaay more. The sensor is better, the mousclicks feel better, it glides way better etc. So, for me the corsair is just a way better mouse and i have been using it for over 2.5 Years and its still perfect.

Logitech absolutely do not make the best scroll wheels. Open up a G703 and take a look at it's construction. It's intentionally designed with a failure point right where you spin, mine broke and I had to fix it with super glue. They are intentionally engineered to fail just outside of warranty. They paid you to say that comment. I can't see why would make such a baslesss claim without opening up the mouse and showing your audience on screen the construction. Explain to me how a single piece black bar on the wheel axel wouldnt have solved every failure problem logitech currently have. It's their primary reason for making these things E-waste and here you are boasting how great it is. Either you have no idea and just made that up, or they paid you to say it. Go ahead and open up a G703 and you will never say that again.

The G305 I bought from mid 2021 still works and looks brand new today, although part of the reason is because I clean it once in a while. It showed no problems since I first purchased it, and I've used it for both gaming and productivity. My favorite things about it is battery life and consistency. It naturally blended into the background as my daily driver. Even though I used it lots and lots, it barely showed any wear. For the price and hours I got out of it, I'd say it's a perfect mouse if you want a good balance between gaming and productivity.
