Check price on Amazon

Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.

The G305 is the affordable wireless entry here and the listing is specific about the trade: a 6 button LIGHTSPEED wireless mouse with a quoted 250 hour battery life from a single cell, a 12,000 DPI sensor and a 99 gram weight, in black plastic, compatible with Chromebook, Mac and PC.

250 hours from one battery is the figure that makes wireless practical at this price: it means changing a cell a few times a year rather than recharging weekly. LIGHTSPEED is Logitech's own low-latency link, which is what keeps a budget wireless mouse viable for gaming. At the time of collection it carried 23,902 ratings at 4.6 stars. Everything here comes from the Amazon listing rather than our own testing.

It manages to deliver the performance of a premium gaming mouse without the premium price tag.The LIGHTSPEED wireless technology is the standout feature. The connection is incredibly responsive, and I honestly can't tell the difference between this and a wired gaming mouse. Whether playing fast-paced shooters or strategy games, tracking remains smooth and accurate with no noticeable lag or dropouts.The HERO sensor performs exceptionally well, providing precise movement and consistent tracking across a wide range of sensitivity settings. It's easy to customise the DPI to suit different games and tasks, making the mouse versatile for both gaming and productivity.Comfort is another strong point. The mouse has a simple, ergonomic shape that works well for extended gaming sessions. It's lightweight enough to move quickly but still feels solid and well-built in the hand. The buttons have a satisfying click, and the side buttons are positioned conveniently without being easy to press accidentally.Battery life is excellent. Using a single AA battery means you don't have to worry about charging cables, and it lasts much longer than I expected between replacements.Pros:Fast and reliable LIGHTSPEED wireless performanceAccurate HERO sensor with excellent trackingLightweight and comfortable designOutstanding battery lifeResponsive buttons and scroll wheelGreat value for moneyCons:Uses disposable batteries rather than a rechargeable batteryNo RGB lighting for those who prefer a more customisable gaming setupOverall, the Logitech G305 LIGHTSPEED is one of the best wireless gaming mice available in its price range.
