Logitech G G305 LIGHTSPEED — Wireless Gaming Mouse, Black
HERO sensor, 12,000 DPILIGHTSPEED 1 ms, USB-A receiver6 programmable buttons1 x AA: 250 h gaming
The Logitech G G305 is the wireless gaming mouse that made LIGHTSPEED affordable: a compact symmetrical shell with six programmable buttons, the HERO sensor at up to 12,000 DPI with 400+ IPS and 40 G, and a 1 ms report rate over the included USB-A nano receiver. It runs on one AA battery for up to 250 hours of gaming or around nine months of everyday use, weighs 99 g with the battery, and stores profiles in onboard memory so it works without software. No Bluetooth and no charging port — the AA is the point. This is the Black version, part number 910-005283 (EWR2 European packaging). Tell us your grip and we will confirm it suits you.
Compatibility — check before buying:
LIGHTSPEED 2.4 GHz via the USB-A nano receiver only — no Bluetooth, no wired mode. Symmetrical shape with side buttons on the left, so right-handed use. Windows 7 or later, macOS 10.13 or later and ChromeOS; G HUB for customisation. Do not confuse it with the G309 (newer: HERO 25K, Bluetooth, POWERPLAY) or with the other G305 regional codes: 910-005282 (black EER2), 910-005292 (white EWR2). Logitech publishes no EAN; the code here is from the distributor feed. The receiver extender and box list are not shown on Logitech’s page for this model.
