![]() ![]() As mentioned above the side buttons are softly sprung which does reduce their performance as they feel slow to react, the scroll wheel click is a bit light and lacking a tactile response, but again it works decently enough.Īlthough the void between wired and wireless is narrower than ever, there is still a slight performance deviation between the two. The left and right clicks are good as they are fast and feel responsive, tactile feedback is somewhat subdued though. There was no sign of jitter or stuttering, but we did note that when lifting the mouse and placing it back down that there was some deviation in cursor movement, this means that if you perform lift-offs, accuracy is somewhat impacted. For gaming in titles like Overwatch, Fortnite, PUBG, Rise of the Tomb Raider the sensor felt responsive, accurate, fluid and never once felt sluggish. The result, it is impressive, even when pushed to the higher limits. The G305 utilises Logitech’s HERO sensor, this has a DPI range starting from 200 and extends to a maximum of 12,000 and manages to do this with zero smoothing, filtering or acceleration. The left and right click feel good, but the side buttons are a touch softly sprung. One big plus though is that you don’t have to keep cleaning the G305 as the plastic finish doesn’t pick up any palm grease. The body is plastic which is fine enough as it is well put together and feels decently solid, it just misses out on the soft touch coating and although not a deal breaker a soft touch coating does have its benefits. But as whole the design is nice and tastefully done, the build, however, does slightly show the lower end cost of the mouse. There are no obvious styling flairs and RGB doesn’t make an appearance - for that, you’ll want to look at their G703 which is a hefty premium over the G305. The design is well done as its unfussy, clean and works well. Logitech’s engineers took this and optimised every area until there was no weak link and it really does show it’s almost like having a wire but without the actual wired connection.ĭesign and build are more key factors when looking at a mouse, and the G305 is good in one regard, but the other does show its price a bit. This uses a traditional style receiver that pairs with an antenna in the mouse which is in turn connected to an RFIC (Radio Frequency Integrated Circuit), the MCU (Microcontroller) and the SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface). The connection has been rock solid and highly stable all throughout testing this robustness is thanks to Logitech’s LIGHTSPEED wireless technology. On a more positive note, the wireless connectivity is superb, even in a tech-filled room, there has been no drops, latency issues or interference of any kind. Another omission worth noting is the lack of any rubberised side grips, there is a slight texture to the sides, but they don’t feel anywhere near as grippy as they could. Their positioning is good, but the buttons are not the most generous in size, this is due to the low profile nature of the mouse, yet if the buttons were any larger then they would eat into the thumb grip space which is just about passable as is. Also on the smaller side are the side buttons. It is still manageable if you do have average sized hands, however you may need to adjust your grip style to fit the body of the mouse. When put against my old daily driver it is a considerable amount smaller with a much lower slung profile this would be ideal for those that have smaller hands, but if your hands are larger than average then the G305 will likely be too small. It isn’t all great though as the G305 is not without its quirks, the first being the petite size. It was nice just to be able to move the mouse and not feel any pull or resistance from a cable. Coming from a wired mouse the extra freedom and flexibility did take some time to adapt to, this wasn’t a bad transition at all, but in fact, it was one that was quite liberating. Using the G305 did take some time to get adjusted to. We do advise though that you install either the Logitech G Hub software or Logitech’s Gaming Software to make the most of the mouses' features and of course to set up the mouse to your preference. Getting going with the G305 is a very easy task, all you have to do is remove the back, insert the AA battery, plug in the wireless receiver and let Windows do its thing.
