Do you prefer wired or wireless when it comes to your gaming mouse? Reply and let us know!
Wireless, if i have a wire, it gets caught on my pc legs and it causes drag.
No reason to go wired when LG can make em this good ✌️
Wireless for sure! Gives you so much freedom plus no cable management
wireless because the wire on a wired mouse can cut in half or something
Wireless, this being my first wireless gaming mouse.I am very low sense fps shooters so this is nice also got it for around 60 from local best buy
I am not a gamer at all, but as a university professor designing learning materials, I need a mouse that is very precise, robust and has an excellent battery life - so I bought a Logitech G305. I always buy gamer kit because it is generally far better quality and lasts longer. I learned that when I invested in a serious mechanical keyboard as I was tired of replacing keyboards. It takes lots of abuse and never lets me down.
Keyboard abuser spotted 😰
Please don’t abuse ur keyboard 😭
@@zzz8630 It's a FILCO Majestouch keyboard. It's made of steel girders and granite lintels. If you don't abuse it, it gets annoyed.
Abuse!???
@@dogglebird4430 Masochist keyboard lol
Logitech G305 review: So fvcking nice, I bought it twice
did u bought another one because it broke?
@@emanuelpurca906 i did had it for 4 years now i use razer
@@Childish_Tambio Bro, it came out 2 years ago, how can you have it for 4 years? Are you a time traveler?
@@spaceowl9246 yes
Is the clicking loud like in the video?
I picked this up like two days ago in white and I didn’t watch this video before hand but without any review I can confirm that it’s pretty easy to set up and the mouse works great and I’ve never dabbled one wireless gaming. Great mouse for phenomenal price tag it’s unbelievable. P.s how do you only have 7 k subs u deserve so many more as you put so much effort in.
Hope you enjoy it! And thanks for the comment!
Funny how Iam in the same situation, I bought. The white version before watching any reviews
Use energizer ultimate lithium batteries to make the mouse lighter and improve battery life.
And an added bonus is that lithium batteries don’t leak acid when they get old so you can leave it in worry free!
@@ramenmasri6277 i saw lithium batteries with usb charging cable, is that okay to buy?
Alvin Nashif Magarang those are lithium ion batteries, they have a higher voltage and won’t work in most traditional applications. That would be for a high output flashlight for example. Lithium batteries as mentioned above retain the nominal voltage of traditional alkaline batteries but they last significantly longer, but unlike rechargeable lithium ion cells they can not ever be recharged. See what voltage the battery claims, it will likely be more than 3 volts if it’s rechargeable. Unless there’s been some new development that they make 1.5v rechargeable batteries I believe you can’t use a usb rechargeable battery in this application. If you check Logitech’s website they may claim that the mouse can take up to 3.4v, in that case you can use that battery.
Can you tell me how long it lasts with those batteries? How many hours
@@gokuafrica maybe around 300 id say
There's a lot to like about the g305 and i think one of the most interesting things is the modding community. If you have a 3D printer, people have mapped out the innards so well, that designing alternative shells is a breeze, and people have designed a number of replacement shells, and if you don't have a printer of your own, you can even order them printed. You can get the weight down to 60g with printed and electronics mods, and you can get flat or scooped sides, ergonomic extensions and whatnot. Someone is even making a minimalist carbon fibre flat stock shell that removes a lot of functionality but makes it feather light. I like the ability to reassign the DPI button to something like F12 or F24, there's generally no need to use any other DPI than 1600 or so.
Thank you for this review was not sure if the Logitech software came with this mouse, since I liked the idea of having a digital battery life indicator, very useful to know about the LED light indicator flashing once it reaches low battery.
Man You are a great reviewer with such undeserved low sub number. You are goin to make it into millions one day and you deserve it.
Thanks, I really appreciate that!
I have only tried a few mice. I pay fps games almost religiously. This is by far my favorite mouse. It's affordable and performs great. Good enough for me to be competitive at fast online shooter games. This is a great review. 👍helped me make a good informed decision.
had to return both my model o wireless mice so think im gonna give this guy a try.
Just grabbed one ! Excited to test it 😁
Watched a couple videos on this mouse and nobody covered it as good as you. Great video 👍
Glad you liked it!
Thanks for this review ;)
Great review as always
I appreciate that, as always!
Awesome video, I thought that it has more than 100k views, you deserved it!
Wow, thanks!
couldn't find my adapter til now lol. appreciate the video bro
Thanks a lot for this review! But I just looked at your subs aaand you deserve waaay more subs no🧢
I bought it and it will be here the 14th thanks for the review
Hope you enjoy it!
I really like your review, thanks 👏🏻
Thanks for watching!
Great review. Thank you.
just bought this Mouse today on Amazon absolutely love it for the price I Paid. 100% Happy dude
Hey, gald you're enjoying it. Im also considering getting this and the one thing that im uncertain about are the clicks, do they feel heavy / stiff to you?
I just bought one. It feels like an old school mouse from back in the old days. I like it. :-)
Just got one as well was using a tecknet mouse and had enough and went to the g305 rly good mouse and also my first wireless mouse it has rly good feeling to it and its on point for gaming rly recommend this mouse only down side to it is its just a wee bit heavy for a mouse but I can learn to get over and use to it
Snagged this mouse for $35 on Amazon for use with my home office. I didn't even watch any reviews before purchasing it as I have a Logitech Lightspeed wireless keyboard and love that. I have to say it's great and I may even like it more than the Razer wireless mouse that's on my gaming setup. It's overkill for office work but I find that gaming gear makes amazing office gear. Great review.
Bought it twice: for home and work PC. Perfect mouse overall, love it!
It’s 30€ (35$) in my country and it can compete against really expensive mice. I will definitely buy it because on my mouse rn the sidebuttons arent working completely fine anymore
Going to buy one as it seems like a good bargain. Good video.
This mouse is incredible. I suggest that once you get the software, unbind the extra mouse buttons from forward and back. Today, I lost about 600 words worth for a text submission I wrote for a school assignment because I accidentally pressed one of the mouse buttons and it reverted to the previous page. I didn't save my writing for a while so I lost the majority of my progress. I spiked the mouse into the ground out of anguish for my lost work. To my surprise, the only thing that happened was that the chassis became slightly loose. And the battery cover went flying off. I applied some pressure and it clicked back into place. It still works fine. None of the buttons are messed up after the throw. Mind you, I threw it with a lot of force. I was upset. All I managed to do was slightly scratch the side of the mouse. This thing is a tank. I also haven't had to change out the battery in months. I got before last Christmas for myself. It is still full battery. Crazy stuff. Affordable, durable and versatile. I really like this mouse. I am also sorry for throwing it. Hopefully this helps convince you to buy the mouse.
Change to 1 & 2 instead, way better since most FPS titles have 1 and 2 bound to weapons.
@@TheAustinSquared if I didn’t figure out how to do that in four months there would be something wrong with me
@@Retibra I'm not the one who didn't realize "mappable mouse buttons" means YOU have to map them to something.
I just got mine today and saw a cable thing and thought...what?...I thought it was wireless. Then I looked at the instructions and I guess I don't need it. Am still confused about the buttons on the side but will learn....after all I am 70 years old so have an excuse...lol. I watched a couple of other videos, not all the way through, and then came across yours and wow did you explain it great! I can't wait to use it.
purchased this few days ago, one of the best decisions i have made in terms of buying a mouse for casual first person shooter games
Building a small laptop streaming setup to have at the girlfriends. Bought the mint version for $40 and can't wait to try it out.
Subbed. The quality is just too superb to not sub :DDD
Thanks for the sub! Welcome to the channel!
Im waiting for my logictech g305 lightspeed to come some I'm just trying to see the pros and cons are
Great video dude!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Really good review, dude. You deserve a lot more subs.
I appreciate that!
WTF only 7.41 SUB UR great , Remember me when you are famous
Thanks!!
@@ECPUz me too...lol
just bought it a couple days ago. cant wait to get it
Awesome!
It's nice it's my first beginner mouse
Very good video!
Awesome review. I'll pick one for my gaming laptop, although I'm all HyperX on my gaming rig.
does hyperx even make mice yet? if they don't they should hop on that, a lot of people would buy
@@cfr.r they do , and they have done gaming mices for years
if this mouse had better clicks like the ones on the gpro or gpro wireless it would be a top contender. the clicks wore down too quickly for me though, and I also think the weight is too much, especially for the size. if they fixed these problems it would definetely be one of my favorite mice.
Hmm..
Great video! Any recommendations for a mouse like this around that price? I prefer full-size mouse because of my big hands.
weird flex but ok
Getting this mouse wensday (2 days from now), hope it's as good as you say!
I picked one up so excited its coming on thursday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Had a very good logitech G403 Hero wired mouse, but wanted to go wireless. I went to Best Buy where they had it listed at 50$, but I priced matched it on Amazon and paid 36.79$ for it. Testing it out now, and have 15 days to see whether or not I like it.
Well, after a year... How is it?
@@Russki007 I think he's dead
@@stylie473joker5 RIP Porrazzo, he will be missed.
@@stylie473joker5 Nvm he's busy playing Call of Duty.
Just bought it yesterday comes in a few days
you should review the RØDE Microphones NT-USB Mini,Black, its a great budget mic
nice video and gaming example
If you use a triple A lithium battery the wight can drop to about 70-80grams
This^ god when he was going on about the weight at the beginning I was like 🤦♂️
I just picked one up today at my local walmart it's the G305 and G240 mousepad combo clearanced for $15 from the normal $40.
Electronic shops sell these g305 lightspeeds different colors at 35 bucks , atleast where i live
Awesome review dude I just bought the mouse 👍👌👌👌
Hope you enjoy it!
Do not worry about the 100g weight you can easily mod it by changing the battery and printing a lighter shell. You can get it down to sub 70g if you print the whole shell or you can get around 77g - 83g by printing the battery shell and battery mod
as someone who has used this mouse for little over half a year i havent had to change the battery once and i play pretty frequently and it feels comfortable to use compared to my old mouse (razer viper mini) so yea id give it a 8/10
Hey does the mouse work on ps4? Oh and I the latency noticeable on a wireless mouse
@@user-td5zy6xd5k i haven't tried it on ps4 but it is a usb mouse so it should and the latency isn't that noticeable compared to wired mice of the generation the mouse was made in
@@Dinkal9800 I got the mouse and it's great the latency isn't noticable
@@user-td5zy6xd5k Was it hard to get the USB out of the console or no? I'm kinda skeptical of it getting stuck in the port...
@@spitfire3718 well I don't know about that I use a USB port extension
It has issues registering left click is compresses after ample use. This is the issue i'm having a couple of years of use.
i just bought the mouse and it fits me perfectly if your hands are smaller then 19cm and play claw or fiinger tip grip
That’s exactly what I do, so thanks for clarifying that! Now I feel much more comfortable buying it
my hands have 17cm its perfect this mouse?
Lol thanks man. I was where's the little usb receiver at?
I have come from the future your channel will be successful and will reach 10 million subscribers.
haha thanks!
Can u review g403 I'm planning to buy it. I have already used g402 and g502 .
What would you say is a good mouse to butterfly click on? (I was considering getting this but it is too small for both of my fingers to be on)
My 305's right click started acting up after 4-5 months from purchase, then out right broke after about 8. After being returned in warranty it just got swapped out ... with the bottom pads now showing visible bending from being removed ... I should also mention that I'm using the mouse on a business laptop with some casual old-school gaming when on the move. All in all it got about 20-40h of use MAX ... shoddy quality from Logitech as of late. To underline this I have to mention that my G903 came with heavily scuffed pads out of a sealed box...
theyre on sale rn on amazon!
So im treating my self with this mouse next week should i buy it im not bigest gamer ever but i play simulation games and i spent lot of time on my gaming laptop
I used the 203 basically the wired version and it Was great
how do I set it up to the logitech app it keeps saying add a new device but by bluetooth
Can you elaborate on what is wrong with endurance mode?
I went from Razer Viper Ult, to this. Quite the downgrade, but I didn't notice anything! Everything seems super solid and normal. The size is quite small like he said, but that didn't effect anything.
Are there any mice with sidebuttons on both sides under 50$ I want to play r6 on pc and leaning with sidebuttons seems good
wanted to buy it but when it said you need small hands for palm grip :( guess imma have to stick with a razer deathadder elite, perfect for medium-big hands
So i play game called runescape (oldschool ) and i especialy participate in pvp. On that game when it comes to pvp you gotta do a lot of clicking like a lot. So i always had problems with my left click button getting lose after few months. Can someone who rly have this mouse tell me how are the buttons holding up after 3months or so. Thx ☺️
Wait, there was a Logitech logo on the top of the mouse?
Guys quick question does it work wired or no only wireless
when i was looking at this mouse, i don't really care about the weight of the mouse, i just wanted something a little smaller than the big mouse that i already have, but right now, Im just saving up to buy it
I just got the white and I hate how glossy it feels. It's got poor grip. Perfect for palm grip but for fingertip it's tough.
is it good for dragclicking or jitter clicking
Is it all plastic or does it have some rubber/silicone type of side grip?
Hi, I just bought this mouse and for some reason when i put the battery in it doesn't put on the light. I don't know what I did wrong..
Default dpi?
I have a question, my mom gave me this mouse and i connect the usb to my computer and doesnt connect and also y download the software and neither... whats wrong?
This mouse is basically budget version of g pro wireless.Im pretty happy with it.
can i use this on macbook air m1? it doesnot have usb port
Does it have that mouse wheel with inertia that comes with the G502?
Damn. I wanted to get into pc gaming for the first time so I just bought a random mouse and keyboard and a headset on the fly, not knowing the details of what I was buying. Now that I’m researching the mouse I got, the G305, the more I feel super lucky to have made this decision.
How the mouse feel
@@zuezsz I looked into other mice and traded it in for the Razer Orochi V2. The Orochi V2 feels a lot better - lighter and better weight distribution. A bit more expensive though.
@@hi1953 it's on sale rn for 50 lol but I ended up buying the g305 light speed, I think I'll upgrade later on
@@zuezsz is the sensor good? I play fortnite and i need to move the mouse really fast without it spazzing out
@@betterplayer2800 its pretty good but out of the box it will feel slow but you would have to download the software for the mouse to change the dpi settings
where did u get that app to customize this mouse?
Do u need to charge the battery at the start?
It looked pretty heavy to click with the mouse? Did you click it very lightly or did you have to push some little strength to do it? I have a Exibel GMX4, and the clicking is very short and quiet. I've had this mouse for years, but it's cutting out a lot now so the wire must be fucked, and I've spilled 2 cups of tea and 3 glasses of water in the last few weeks, because when pulling the wire to try reconnect it again in my frustration in the middle of a game, I accidentally knock my cups over. I want a wireless now so I wont have issues with the wire being broken in the future and not having worries about knocking my sht over XD But I'm short on money, and I'm considering on buying this mouse. I'm just worried it wont click fast enough than I'm used to.
I have the mouse and clicking isn't bad at all u put pressure but bearly tho bearly when I mean bearly it's bearly lol but it makes a clicking noise
Use a AAA battery converter and use energizer ultimate lithium batteries to get the weight down to 82g
What’s better glorious model o wireless or this?
I have this mouse but I lost the usb what can I do?
Hey just a quick question how do I charge the mouse back to full , do I need to replace the battery or is it something to do with the usb that I need to charge or anything please can someone respond and help me because idk weather to buy a Bluetooth mouse if I don’t know how to replenish the battery
You have to replace the battery. Most times with these kind of mice, it wont be often
Too bad the cable keeps dragging on my desk :( haha just kidding this mouse is the best wireless mouse ive ever tried
Yo I have 1 question. Is it back Heavy bcs of the battery? And if yes is it something that will affect my aim?
@@blindyy132 It's only back heavy with AA batteries. I use Energizer Lithium AAA battery + tinfoil and the weight is balanced and does not ruin aim
Is his scroll wheel good? Cuz I really use the scroll a lot and would like to know
i have g203, which should have the same scroll wheel as the g305, and the scrolling is fine
Yes matsuri it is the best wireless mouse till today
How would I change the dpi bc I play kb&m on Xbox and I don’t have a pc
I bought it thanks!
from what you feel, do the left and right clicks feel heavy?
@@szilardbogacs2230 no
I bought one but dont know how to charge it please help
Does this mouse work on ps4 and Xbox one?
