About this deal

If your receiver and product have the below logo, you have the Logi Bolt receiver and a Logi Bolt compatible product.

To determine if your Logitech device is Unifying compatible, look for this Unifying logo on your device.With the exception of e-sports pros, these numbers won't mean much to most people, as I'm doubtful you'll be moving your mouse over 30 feet in a second unless you're so outraged by your teammates' performance that you fling the G305 Lightspeed across the room. (And that's just poor sportsmanship, really.) As for the gravitational-force threshold, anything between 30G to 50G is enough to register your hand's abrupt jolts and jerks. Keeping Up With the Competition Logitech’s wireless Lightspeed communication tech remains unsurpassed. If you’ve ever played an intense game with a laggy, run-of-the-mill wireless mouse you know the irritation of always wondering if that last death was brought on by slow response from the mouse to the receiver. But as stated earlier, the G305 feels just like a wired gaming mouse. While I’m unable to scientifically test Logitech’s claims of 1ms response with this mouse, I can certainly attest the "in-hand" results felt like it was wired. If this Logitech mouse is anything like the single AA Microsoft Bluetooth Mouse I have been using for the past 2 years (or Logitech wireless mice I own) that battery is a plus, not a minus. All six buttons on the G305 can be assigned new functions via simple drop-down menus. There’s a range of different pre-set options you might expect for the thumb buttons, for example. But if you want to dig in further, it’s also possible to assign macros. Personally, I’ve never found too much use for customizing mouse buttons—particularly a simple, six-button mouse—but it’s nice that the option is there and easy to use. More importantly, the software allowed me to customize DPI settings to my liking. Behind the mouse wheel is a button that lets you toggle DPI presets, and you can have a maximum of five, or less if you're like me and prefer having just two presets. Setting up a slow DPI for certain game types and a fast DPI for others makes things super easy. But you can load up to five presets, if you wish. The LGS is also where you can switch the mouse’s response rate if you want to extend its battery life for taking it on the road. Gaming Battery life is another concern in regards to wireless mice, but the G305 has some impressive figures in that department. A single AA battery will keep the mouse running for up to 250 hours with the previously mentioned 1ms response time—not too shabby for a mouse offering that level of performance. But if you’re just using the G305 for general work applications or surfing the web, you can drop it into “endurance mode” via Logitech’s software and the mouse will reportedly run for nine months on a single battery with an 8ms response time. That’s a handy feature for anyone who needs a laptop mouse for the road, since it can still offer precision gaming performance when needed.

It's been done before, the wireless mouse for the frugal gamer—but done well is another matter. The Logitech G305 Lightspeed may be plain compared with the likes of competitors such as Razer's Mamba, but its strength comes from its guts, rather than its outer shell. A Unifying receiver looks like the image below, and it does not work with products that are not Unifying compatible. Now, let's talk about the design. It's sleek, ergonomic, and built for hours of comfortable gameplay. The ambidextrous shape ensures it's suitable for all hand sizes and grips, making it a versatile choice for any gamer. Its lightweight build is a blessing during marathon sessions, ensuring fatigue doesn't slow you down.Instead of a rechargeable battery, the G305 Lightspeed runs on a single AA battery, Logitech claims you can get up to 250 hours of gaming off one battery. That’s way more than the 50 hours Razer claims with the Mamba Wireless. You can get a battery life reading from the G Hub software. Also helpful is the LED under the scroll wheel, which flashes red when the battery's dying. Bottom Line

But here's the real clincher - the battery life. The G305's efficiency is nothing short of impressive. A single AA battery can last for months, even for avid gamers who squeeze every ounce of performance out of it. To ensure you are purchasing the right receiver for your device, identify your receiver from below: We mentioned the AA battery a moment ago. Logitech claims 250 hours of battery life from that AA cell in the G305 Lightspeed. However, that is only the case when the mouse is set to the default Performance mode in LGS. Another mode, called Endurance mode, is a choice alongside it. When enabled, Logitech says the battery life rises to a full nine months but the response time rises from 1ms to 8ms; in other words, an increase in latency is one of the trade-offs for conserving battery life. Isle of Man, Isle of Wight, Northern Ireland and the Scottish Highlands) may take longer to reach you. The polling rate of the Logitech G305 Lightspeed ranges from 125Hz to 1,000Hz. (As is our custom, we tested at 1,000Hz.) In addition to letting you designate the DPI "steps" and the number of sensitivity levels you can access by way of the dedicated DPI-switcher button, LGS allows you to set the polling rate. What's more, you can choose from the LGS home menu whether you want the G305 Lightspeed's settings stored on your computer or in the on-board memory of the mouse itself. This could prove useful when traveling, say, for gaming competitions.

Logitech’s Lightspeed wireless connectivity has always been on point, and the one on Logitech G305 Lightspeed Wireless is no different. It’s very responsive with no noticeable lags even when you’re using it a little farther away from your gaming PC. We’re able to get accurate responses from 10 feet away, in fact. Using the mouse about 15 feet away and from another room, we have experienced some lags, but in the real world, no one would be doing that anyway so that hardly matters. Next to where the battery fits is a compartment to carry the dongle for easy travel and making sure you don't lose your Lightspeed connection. Gaming Performanceof Logitech G305 Lightspeed
