Thanks for the channel name idea lol

If anyone has doubts about the g305 battery life let me tell you a little something. I bought it on last years black friday, and just yesterday did the battery die. Yeah go figure.
use lithium aa batteries. they're lighter and last longer
durqz the idea is that you don’t need to replace the battery every second
durqz the battery it comes with last pretty long and the power efficiency it has is really good
@durqz maybe reading the comment twice or thrice would help
@durqz "u can replace the fucking battery, u stupid?" I don"t think hy is stupid, but if you want to see one go and look in the fuking mirror and you will be surprised. He is only making a point about how long the battery lasted.
thank you so much! was so stuck between both of them for a multi-use mouse, and I will go with the corsair.
Good review, you touched on key details which other reviewers missed.
for me its always been corsair for keyboards and logitech for mice, what i like about the g305/g304 is the battery can be swapped out, i dont like internal batteries
Sleeper_Cell for me it's opposite lol
I like how my Corsair keyboard has a USB port for my Logitech mouse's wireless receiver. Good combo.
nice clip. i need a new one : ) you helped alot. awesome test! click-sound-test and slide etc. nice dude, never saw that. great test.
i have buy today the logitech g305. i love this mouse ^^ ty and a nice weekend
Was looking for which mouse to buy between the G305 and the Harpoon just now, your video finally helped me make my decision lol. I was already leaning towards the G305 (especially because according to Amazon reviews, that mouse is the best invention since sliced bread) but your insight confirmed it was definitely what I'm looking for, so thank you ^^ ♥
Same here mate.... Probably will go for G304 but still checking out other mice which doesnt suffer much from double-clickin issues.
I just placed an Amazon order for the Harpoon thanks for the guidance.
How's the long term review of it... Gaming review? Im planning to buy it
Thanks. Still can't decide between these two. I guess I'll get G305 for the shape.
I just bought the harpoon and compared it to my G pro wired, and using the harpoon, it felt to me like the harpoon was more responsive even while wired. Any thoughts?
I like the Revan poster in the background
Thanks!!💯
Could you please do a review on the Redragon mammoth white, it’s available on Evetech in South Africa.
Mice r very personal. I’ve used a razer viper mini but ended up going back to the harpoon. I love the shape and it is rlly easy to pick up cus of shape and rubber grip!
This is the first video I am watching on your channel. I must say your close-up shots are LIT!!!
Nice reviews. Though found it funny that you ripped on light up mouse but use a digital scale to weight mice. Equally bizarre to me.
Got the harpoon even though my hands are somewhat big. 8 inches long, but honestly it doesn’t even bother me I can go for hours and only feel a little tired in my upper wrist. 8/10 mouse tbh. Mice were never catered for people with big hand anyway.
Hey a little late but I just got one and was wondering about how it would be on MacBook I know you can set it up on windows with ICUE software but honestly just got it for Minecraft any advice ? I’m an amateur
I went wit the Harpoon for RGB and being able to use the mouse as I charge and not having to deal with swapping batteries.
Same
@@souhailelhayani9847 Are you dumb? I only have it plugged in when it's charging lmao
I’ve owned the g305 for 5 days now and it’s still at 100% using it around 2-3 hours a day
Ive used mine since november and it still shows me a green light in the battery indicator, uses it like 4-5 hours a day
Mine lasted a freaking year alternating between performance and endurance.
How can I save the configuration into the mouse, in Corsair? I'm a Linux user, so, everytime that I start the Linux, the mouse restore the factory configurations.
I have the Corsair wireless harpoon rgb and the glides wore off and Corsair doesn’t sell it soo yeah
Thankyou for the comparison. Can you tell what is the exact difference between corsair harpoon wired and wireless
That... One is wired... And the other wireless?
@@user-vb3kn6ur3s lol
although the G 305 buttons are rated at 10 million click (u can check it on the side of the mouse box) and the Harpon buttons are rated at 50 million, so the harpon button are more long lasting.
compare the MX Master 2S! I know it's not for gaming but what about productivity?
To be honest, I used the mx master 2s of my brother and my Logitech g305 mouse and... Honestly, I guess the Logitech g305 is much better!
I go for G305 (G304) Because -AA battery easy to swap and new AA battery only weight 19g or can use adapter for AAA adapter to AA -sensor -software (I'm hate new cue software that keep make my PSU rm750i flashing my personal prefered) -price ( here g304 is cheaper) But if i go Harpoon -look more comfort , I'm not sure Other thing -Warranty (both equal here)
I got G305 a few days ago. I have G402 wired (love that mouse, normally 110 grams). I reduced the weight of G305 to 87 grams without the AAA battery adapter, just some tin foil and a paper tissue to hold the battery in its place :-). It is so light it took some getting used to. The shape and size makes me use clawgrip more frequently. I still suck at CSGO but I am more accurate, and even faster at aiming. I don't know if it's the placebo effect but I can tell there is a difference.
I hate iCue!!!!
PLEASE HELP, I am looking for a new mouse and I am deciding between the Corsair harpoon wireless and the model o, please help me decide
I love my G305, would never go back to wired.
It's ridiculous good, the sensor is rock solid and the wireless is perfect for me!
My hands are way too big for it
@@bradhuddleson5216 What's your handsize, estimate? I'm around 19,5 by 9,5 but I like both my G403 and G203 a lot. Depends on how I grip them.
Arttu aka Taide should I replace this with my razer deathadder mouse ?
Which one do I buy? G305, G Pro or Glorious Odin???
_Nice review as usualy. Greetings from Italia. Ciao.
Thanks man :)
Ciao
Triple a to double a converter is the way to go 👌👌👌
great vid but i don't think the g903 is 11g
Review Gamdias Hades M1 please
must I charge the harpoon via pc? can i use a phone charger?
Im an avid cs go player..ive downgrad from g903 to g305 ..and havent look back since.. Its 100ish dollar less and perform amazingly for csgo.. the lift distance..the weight. Its perfect ..it is a sleeper mouse.. the best overall (price+performance) for wireless gaming 👌👍
who tf downgrades from a (really) good mouse too a shit mouse
@@jasonv00rhees12 So you're saying g305 is shit? You know nothing.
@@syko846 i do know something first of all wireless mice are pointless unless you own a laptop and second off all look at how small it is xD (and i do know i have expierence with gaming g305 is good yes but for me no and from a g903 to a g305 thats just not worth it g903 is the best wireless mouse from logitech
@@jasonv00rhees12 You know nothing. Wireless isn't what it used to be old man
Jason Voorhees You contradicted yourself. You said it is a “shit” mouse and then you admitted it to be “a very good wireless mouse.”
i owned a wired harpoon and the sensor had a rather low malfunction speed and i couldnt flick with it as every fast movement caused the sensor to spinout. not sure if they've fixed it with the wireless though, just a thought when buying.
The maximum speed of the 3310 is lower than the 3325 though? I may be wrong but from owning both that is how it seems.
That's really weird. Well, I've never had a problem like that with my G305. Seriously my best mouse purchase I've ever made, and I've been playing FPS games for 14+ years.
what sensor does the 305 use again?
@@dabyyeye9825 It uses the same sensor that the G Pro Wireless uses, the hero sensor. Just with 12k dpi instead of 16k.
Dude where are you from???????????
Corsair button placements are the only thing holding their mice back for me. Doesn't count on the scimitar, that's my favorite mouse of all time, but for FPS, their wireless mice just get on my nerves.
the Logitech got longer battery life but Corsair has a bluetooth got shorter battery life hmm... alright maybe I'll stick with buying m590 it really last 2 years since I'm just wanted a good looking wireless mouse with bluetooth and also power efficient
Can you change the rgb brightness of the harpoon?
Kingsley Anand yes you can!
i have had the g305 for months and I am still at near full battery playing around 5-9 hours a day
You must have not changed it to performance mode you may have it in endurance mode.
@@ailpi3906 Heck, even endurance mode is still very low latency for wireless. You'd have to have a consistent 144 fps on a 144hz (or higher) monitor to notice even an extremely tiny little bit on endurance, and it's very good even then, 'cause I use 144hz and play at 144fps and it's still awesome. At first I would always use low latency mode but I've settled on using endurance pretty much all the time. It's great.
@@ailpi3906 lollll😂😂😂😂😂😂
I know I'm seeing this video late but my hands are big enough to use a 6.2 inch phone one handed so should I get any of these mice? Or would these be too small???
Way to small
Same with my 6.5 inch s20 fe
i feel like harppon should be better but let's be honest g305 just feel pretty good in ur hand except from replacing the battery and cutting ur thump nail since it will scratch the base of the mouse but it is pretty good
i went from the wired harpoon to the wireless g305 and certainly like the g305 better
Can I use the HARPOON RGB Wireless for Mac?
You can yes, just not sure about the software for customization.
We Do Tech Oh okay thanks! Want RGB and Customizeable buttons so i Will probably return it then
Apparently, they are working on it but no ETA. The Harpoon does have onboard memory so if you have windows you can set all the settings you want and then use it with the Mac. Not the best however.
We Do Tech Okay thanks a lot!
4:03 Boss calls and asks if you're actually working in quarantine
Nice meme
No contest G305, because it is wireless. I had G603 and it lasted 11months on the same batteries and I have G305 since november still going strong. I don't understand people who get wireless mouse only to plug it in... Or recharge batteries for whatever reason, at that point might as well get the G pro...
But when you need to bring it around, you can't unplug a G102 and use it with bluetooth
What's wrong with rechargeable batteries
@@offgridaction454 It's mostly about people buying something like G305 and then putting in rechargeable batteries in to make it lighter. Those batteries last about as long as any rechargeable wireless mouse, so what I was saying is, at that point might as well get a lighter G pro and just use that. In comparison non rechargeable battery in G305 will last months before you need to change it.
WildStyle* Big price difference dude
@@WildStyle that's not true at all, rechargeable NiMH batteries last just as long, if not more than alkaline batteries, i think you're getting confused between NiMH (typical AA and AAA rechargeable batteries) and lithium-ion, which is what mice like the corsair use
LIT BRO!!!!!!!!
Thanks man :)
I have been using the g305 the last 3 weeks, it has been great, i don´t feel any difference compared to a wired one, of course i have the dongle technically close to the mouse. Also i like the simple design it has, it doesn´t have RGB because that would suck the battery so it is something i can deal with
Does it work til today?
6:47 wow the g903 is super light lol
I own the Corsair mouse, two main complaints: first, battery life is ABYSMAL , I use it moderately, maybe 5-6h a day or a little more, and it lasts only 5 days, after that, I have to charge it, no exception. For example, before this I had the Trust GXT 140 Manx, and battery life went A MONTH AND A HALF without needing to charge it. Sadly, the central wheel broke, otherwise I would still have it. Second, the button to change the DPI is in the center under the wheel, it is very easy to accidentally press it and you have to adjust it as it was before, that is done pressing several times until it adjusts again, this is a lesser issue, but having so low battery life, that is a disaster. I don't recommend it, 50€ wasted.
best gaming mouse for 50 i think is glorius model o and i use it for minecraft pvp and get about 17 cps
in my country, the two has a rather large price difference. the Logitech G305(or rather G304 in Asia) costs between 1800-2400 php (36 USD-48USD) and the corsair harpoon costs between 2800-3200( about 56USD-65USD). Now, there is also Razer Basilisk x Hyperspeed which practically costs the same as the G305. so depending on how the reviews here went, i might go with one of these.
Anong kinuha mo, bro?
@@babyrage1763 None of the above lol. Ending ko is Logitech G603. Mula nung binili ko about 2 months ago, no battery changes have been made lol
@@MARTINREN1231 san ka bumili? Kamusta naman yan? Mas mahal yan diba

In corsair right click softer than left click right. Is it normal?. I am confused
Yes it is, been having misclicks with it due to how soft it is.
I've bought 1 g305 and owned 4, the left button always ends up double clicking, pc world happily give me another as a replacement. I've tried fixing them but then but the mouse feet end up knackered, the scroll wheel ends up tight and the left and right mouse clicks feel different. I've unfortunately became an expert in logitech wireless mouse over the last 4 years having had the same problem on the, g900 which i swapped for replacement that done the same, then i was upgraded to a g903(had 3 of them do the same then gave up and got my money back and got the cheaper g305 which done the same after a month) The switches are not worth the hassle. I've been using the Rival 650 wireless from steel series for about 4 months which is really good but its a little too heavy so I'm here to see how the harpoon is.
And? How does the harpoon feel?
@@DRAGON-fz8ye Harpoon is very small and light and felt great. But within hours the buttons were triple clicking. On corsair forums theres a thread thats been going on for months regarding it and corsair are asking people to send them their mice for testing. SO i had to get rid of it. I am going to get the rival 3 wireless thats not long out. Same weight as g305 and harpoon but I have more confidence in steel series buttons.
@@JasonBhoy7 Did you end up getting the Rival 3? How is it working out? I bought mine a couple weeks ago, and had so much issue with lag. The pointer on screen was not responding for a couple seconds constantly, despite me re-installing the software and everything. Along with that, I went through 4 AA batteries withing the first 3 weeks, felt like it was eating them up. I tried the battery saving feature on the steelseries software, but that did not help at all.
@@rayd. I am back with a g305 that double clicks. I am done with experimenting with mice. But yes, the rival 3 gave me issues like that occasionally and would aslo not connect sometimes. Firmware often did not update either. The battery life was the thing that made it not worth while in the end and it was also slightly too wide for my liking. That battery saving feature, it actually didn't work when I tested it. Mice just suck atm from my experience.
Guys help me out. Which one should I get?
Bro rly? Rgb on wireless mouse is like making a car with leaking fuel tank.
But then you can light the leaking fuel on fire and it will look cool 😏 That was a joke dud. Yes battery life will be drained a lot quicker but some people still want some nice lighting + you can turn it off if you wanted to so no problem.
Ah yes, the infamous RGB, love it or hate it, it's here to stay, at least companies give you the option to switch it off, I could never grasp having lighting under my palm :/
I believe the G603 would be more in pair with the Harpoon for this comparison.
why there no link for the g305 on rebeltech?
Currently, there is no G305 on their site. Will ask if they can add it.
Is the harpoon silent?
No.
U think u could do a Gfuel taste test ?
haha if they send me a sample yes, but not sure that will happen.
We Do Tech can u not find a place to buy it that ship to South Africa ?
It not worth the cost, I wont make enough from the video to afford it. If I got 10s of thousands of views then I could.
We Do Tech wait u found a place u can buy it ? Can u share the site and I mean u have over 30 k subs ask for a sponsorship I mean they give sponsorship to people with 5k subs so just think about it
Played with both Logitech g pro wireless and g305. I’d rather use the g305 tbh
My fiend has the G305 and after using it I needed to buy one, its really good
please someone, could tell me which one it´s smallest?? i got G305 and it´s to large for my hand 😥
I think the harpoon is smaller but you can check it on some comparing sites too. Just to be sure :)
Is Corsair harpoon rgb pro good... which one is better Logitech g102/203 or Corsair harpoon rgb pro
G203 for sure
But corsair is good too
"RGB for life" - We do Tech
I used g102 and it's the same L/R switch that g305 use It's double clicking almost every click now. I'm so sure that 10mil clicking warranty it's last only one year. So logitech is not my choice in terms of endurance.
Cause g102 is made in asia u have to get europian version g203
Plus i got my g305 for around 35 us dollars
Brand new? If yes, from where?
@@nkshey I bought it around January of 2019, I am from Mexico I ordered at a website called cyberpuerta
"It uses Logitech's EURO optical sensor" jk, nice review.
I died xD
I am still not sold on the idea of RGB everything. I went and sold my RGB membrane keyboard, which I actually liked and got myself a mechanic TKL keyboard with 1-color back lighting. I also have Logitech G402 and I quickly realized that the glowing G logo was pretty annoying while playing. I got myself G305 a few days ago and I think it is pretty brilliant. I am glad it doesn't have RGB. It is not distracting. The mouse itself is very light. get an battery adapter and you can use an AAA battery. I am down to 87 grams. DONE.
Same here man ;)
There is something called turning off the RGB lmao
@@arghasaha6174 There's Something Called Paying More For Rgb
@@drake6836 your point is invalid because he was bringing up the fact that the G402 which he already bought, had the annoying RGB, even though you can turn it off
@@arghasaha6174 that doesnt invalidate anything , even if im also not sure that the dude is aware he can turn off the lights :l

I wish the harpoon came in white
Harpoon vs x superlight?
The superlight has a better sensor and is quite a bit lighter so that's probably what I would go for
"BEY-TER and BEY-TER" HAHAHAHAH
I used both and the g305 feels more premium. When your holding the mouse u don’t really even see the rgb on the harpoon so it doesn’t really matter
Personally I choose the harpoon as looks very nice and from what I have heard it is very comfy
I have the wired version for work and I love it
The pads wear off very easily
@@jordangarman1555 Is it still in good condition.
This helped finalize my buying decision between both mouse. I’m going with the G305.
same here lol
@@triv4555 one of the mouse buttons stopped working after 4 months. I called Logitech and they replaced it with a new one for free.
@@JD-nq6se Oof, good to know their customer service did well on your end. I literally just ordered mine so I'll be sure to look out for that whenever it gets here lol
@@triv4555 their customer service is great!
when u said on eof the mouse buttons stopped working is it ur doin or theirs?
the G305 litterely looks like my cheap Lenovo mouse I have at work, I would have bought it if it had infinity scroll, but the fact it has almost no features but costs practically the same as the Harpoon that has more features, makes it seem just crap in comparison.
It simply because Logitech put their best HERO sensor. Practically the same sensor as G Pro Wireless that cost ++100$. And of course it is much better than Harpoon sensor for competitive gaming. At least u are not into competitive gaming then dont buy it lol.
@@frederikstephano2926 yeah this kids are dumb
because the "features" on the harpoon wireless are useless and a negative to people who care about having an actually good mouse, rgb? that would destroy the battery, not to mention the increased weight for something useless. being able to charge the mouse while using it? i would take being able to swap out the battery in 5 seconds over *having* to plug it in any day, the g305 has the better features by far
G305 all day long
10 hours everyday of apex legends on my 305 last me 1.5 monts on one AAA lithium
How u using AAA doesn't it use AA batteries
Bro your eyes going to die soon.
quack quack adapter
*250 hours on the G305 equals 10 days, while 30 hours on the Harpoon equals a bit over a day. Obviously, if you want a wireless mouse that lasts long, go with the Logitech*
That's depending on the battery it has, the one with the Logitech i- better. But once that runs out you get other batteries that will be around the same.
@@sqour9113 no it isn't, the reason the logitech lasts so long is because of the sensor inside, in incredibly efficient, sticking an alkaline battery inside the harpoon wireless wouldn't magically increase the battery life 10x
@@emilycampbell6375 Oh, my bad i didn't know.
@@sqour9113 no worries, i actually just received the g305 in the mail today, i've never used the harpoon wireless but i used to own the wired version, and already i can say that the g305 is 100% my favourite out of the 2, although if i remember correctly the harpoon might have been a little comfier with my bigger hands, but i'm not sure
WHY DO PEOPLE SAY THAT STUFF WITH RGB IS BETTER LIKE WHAT?

Was that made in China?
If you get a replacement adapter, there's a logitech tool that helps you synch the hardware parts. I just did it for my g900.

Are you South African?
nice but i am late 😩
I own the Corsair wireless RGB, and I don't really reccomend it...
Why? I have a plan to buy harpoon rgb non wireless
Why..
@@bamboo9666 Its an ok item. just perhaps a bit overpriced. It perfoms well, but the software is just making things worse. eventually the mouse gets reset to whatever settings... also i dislike the charging wire is kind of specific and couldnt be replaced with a regular usb charger for the shape, that needs to fit in the mouse. Battery lasts about few days. Apart from this lts working fine for me. dont get me wrong.
@@tonigasc hm.. I gonna buy g304 then..
Having the option to go wired is really unnecessary tbh. Defeats the purpose of getting a wireless mouse. And the battery life is absolute garbage on the Harpoon compared to G305. Not having to worry about the battery much is a serious quality of life perk that I love about the G305. I replaced the battery one time since I got it *literally months ago.* Even on endurance mode, the perceived latency is extremely low and game-friendly, and I mainly play snipers.
wired option for this = your spare G102/103. good idea?
@@mpoerot8013 It's always a good idea to have a spare mouse you can rely on if something goes wrong for some reason with your main, for sure. I'd rather have seen them spend the money on something else on the Harpoon instead, or just save the money, even.
You Can Get A G102 Prodigy $20 same shape with G305, with a mouse bungee to feel like its Wireless. ;)
USE A MOUSE PAD!
