Top critical review
1.0 out of 5 starsWireless, no input lag, super cute [Updated see below]
Reviewed in India on 8 October 2018
Gone are the days when you need wired mice to avoid input lag and improve reaction times. We now have affordable but performance mice WITHOUT wires! Great feat by
Logitech.
The G304/G305 mouse is small, lightweight and perfect for claw and claw/palm hybrid grips. My hand is 18 cm and it is perfect for me.
My only complaint is the buttons. Especially thumb buttons could have been bigger with more tactile feedback. But they are least used generally so not reducing any stars for that.
I have set polling rate to 500Hz and 1000 DPI in Logitech. In CS GO, in-game sens 1.0 - it has definitely improved my experience. It is a must buy for people who look
for affordable wireless gamin mice that perform well in FPS.
Update 11 March 2020. The left mouse button now double clicks every few clicks. I guess this mouse cannot be trusted after one year, and considering the price, I can now say dont buy it. I am not recommending it.
Test Results
Design
Type Standard
Lighting Color No Lighting
The Logitech G305 has a classic look and a rather small, egg-shaped body. It's available in matte black, white, lilac, or blue. It has no RGB zones and only has a small Logitech G logo on the back. For a similar Logitech mouse with a more diamond-like shape, check out the Logitech G303 Shroud Edition. Alternatively, if you like a white-colored mouse but want RGB lighting, you should look into the Logitech G705.
Length 4.6" (116 mm)
Height 1.5" (38 mm)
Width 2.5" (63 mm)
Grip Width 61 mm
Update 11/05/2021: Our original 3D model scan was slightly tilted. We've rescanned the Logitech G305 LIGHTSPEED, ensured it's properly positioned, and uploaded the properly aligned scan.
Volume 16.96 in³ (278 cm³)
Cable/Receiver Storing Yes
Thanks to its small footprint and wireless capabilities, the Logitech G 305 is portable. You can also store its USB receiver under the palm rest panel, making it easy to throw into a bag. If you're looking for a more office-oriented, cheap wireless mouse, check out the Logitech M510.
This mouse's build quality is great. It's made of solid plastic and has no loose or wobbly parts. It feels almost as premium as some much more expensive options from Logitech, like the Logitech G Pro Wireless. However, the palm rest panel covering the battery and receiver storage area feels slightly more flexible than the other outer surfaces, but this is to be expected as it's removable. That said, it doesn't affect the performance of the mouse during normal use.
Lowest Weight 82.3 g
Default Weight 101.7 g
Weight Distribution Back-heavy
Extra Weights No
The Logitech G305 is somewhat heavy for its size, with most of its weight distributed to the back. The Default Weight result includes an AA Amazon rechargeable battery which weighs 15.10g. The Lowest Weight result is obtained using an aluminum foil ball adapter to allow for the use of AAA batteries. The aluminum foil ball used to obtain this result has a reference weight of 0.2g and a diameter of 5.8mm. The AAA battery used is an Energizer Ultimate Lithium battery with a reference weight of 7.60g.
If you're interested in a more lightweight option with a similar shape, check out the Fantech Aria XD7.
Left-Handed Friendly Yes
Ambidextrous Shape Only
Coating Matte
Finger Rest No
The Logitech G305 wireless is very comfortable. Even though this mouse has a slight curve and its side buttons are on the left side, it's still fairly ambidextrous and should work well for both left and right-handed people. Due to its small design, it's best suited for smaller hands, though it should also suit any hand size using a fingertip grip. If you prefer a wireless mouse with a right-slanted design, check out the Logitech G403 Wireless.
Small Hand Yes
Medium Hand Yes
Large Hand No
X.Large Hand No
Due to its small size, the Logitech G305 works best with palm grip for people with small or medium-sized hands. Larger hands may find it uncomfortable, as their pinky will rest awkwardly on the side.
Small Hand Yes
Medium Hand Yes
Large Hand Yes
X.Large Hand No
The Logitech G305 should work well in a claw grip for everyone except those with extra-large hands, who may find it too small and uncomfortable.
Small Hand Yes
Medium Hand Yes
Large Hand Yes
X.Large Hand Yes
The Logitech G305 is great for fingertip grip as any hand size should be able to use it comfortably and easily reach all the buttons.

Bluetooth No

Use When Charging No ( Single use batteries)
On/Off Activation Auto Off And On/Off Switch
Receiver Extender Yes
Battery Indicator Yes
The Logitech G305 is a wireless mouse that connects wirelessly with its USB receiver and has a USB wireless extender cable included. It requires a single AA battery, which Logitech claims lasts up to 250 hours of use. The indicator for the CPI switch also indicates when your battery is running low. If you'd like a mouse with Bluetooth support, check out the Corsair KATAR PRO Wireless or the Razer Orochi V2. Or, for a mouse that supports Bluetooth and wireless charging with any Qi-standard charging device, check out the HyperX Pulsefire Dart.

This is a wireless mouse, and you can't use it wired. The included cable is only an extension for the wireless receiver.
Gliding Experience Ok
Material PTFE
Extra Included No
The feet glide well on mousepads, but they feel a little rough and loud when used directly on desks. On the plus side, there are third-party feet available that may solve these issues for some users.

Total Number Of Buttons 6
Number Of Side Buttons 2
Number Of Programmable Inputs 11
Profile Switching Button No
Gesture Support No
The Logitech G305 has a decent amount of buttons, including two side buttons and a dedicated CPI button behind the scroll wheel. All the buttons are programmable, including the left click. You can also set a G-Shift button that enables another layer of commands for as long as you press it. Strangely, you can set a button as a profile switch, but the onboard memory only supports a single profile, so the button doesn't do anything.
Expected Connection 6.3 ms
Wired N/A
Receiver 6.3 ms
Bluetooth N/A
The Logitech G305 has great click latency. It delivers a very responsive feeling experience for gaming in any genre, including competitive and reaction-based games. There's a small amount of inconsistency, which is normal for a wireless gaming mouse. However, this inconsistency falls within a very narrow range, and you won't be able to notice any perceptible click latency variation during use.

Minimum Lift Off Distance 1.2 mm
Maximum Polling Rate 1000 Hz
You have the choice between four polling rates: 125Hz, 250Hz, 500Hz, and 1000Hz, and the sensor is very consistent whether you move the cursor quickly or slowly. Also, the lift-off distance is low enough that the sensor shouldn’t track your movement when you're repositioning your mouse.
Scroll Wheel Notched Wheel
Scroll Wheel Steps 24 Steps
Scroll Wheel Tilt No
Thumb Wheel No
Thumb Wheel Steps No Thumb Wheel
The Logitech G305 has a standard incremented mouse wheel. Unlike the Logitech G502 HERO or the more office-oriented Logitech MX Master 2S, you can't unlock it for free-scrolling.
Click Noise Loud
The mouse clicks are loud, although it shouldn't disturb people around you unless you're in a very noise-sensitive environment.

The customization software offers a wide variety of adjustments and options. Unfortunately, while the mouse has onboard memory, you can only save one profile to the mouse itself at a time. You can create and save other profiles, but you need to open the software to cycle between them. Note that while no software issues were present during testing, many users online have reported various problems with Logitech's G HUB software, including but not limited to startup issues, freezing, and connection issues with some devices. If you'd like to share your experience using Logitech G HUB with this mouse, feel free to leave a comment in the discussions.
