The short version

Logitech's G305 remains a budget wireless staple: a compact right-handed shell, the HERO sensor at up to 12,000 DPI, 1,000 Hz LIGHTSPEED wireless and a rated 250 hours from a single AA battery. GamesRadar still ranks it ahead of newer rivals on build and tracking. The trade-offs are a 99 g weight, no Bluetooth, no built-in rechargeable battery, and a compact shape that may be too small for larger hands.

Pros

  • Rated 250 hours on one AA battery
  • HERO sensor with up to 12,000 DPI
  • 1,000 Hz LIGHTSPEED wireless
  • Strong budget value, per GamesRadar

Cons

  • No Bluetooth
  • AA power only, with no built-in rechargeable battery
  • Compact shape may not suit larger hands

Best for

  • Budget buyers who want dependable wireless gaming
  • Players who prefer replaceable AA power over charging

Common questions

Does the G305 need charging?

No. It runs on one replaceable AA battery that Logitech rates for up to 250 hours, so there is no built-in battery to recharge.

Is it suitable for large hands?

GamesRadar warns its smaller size may not work for larger hands, so bigger-handed players should consider a larger shell or try it first.
