I've been using the G305 with rechargeable NiMH AAA batteries, and it lasts over 2 weeks before the battery dies and needs a charged one put in. Rotating 2 batteries and switching it "every once in a while before an important game" works without any problems. I'm also using a crumpled up "cylinder" of aluminum foil for the adapter. Lightest and cheapest solution.
How did you get the back so smooth? i used the 3d file but my cover feels really harsh, not smooth.
@Battz Thx dude
He used ABS, so he probably used acetone smoothing.
you can sand the back down before putting it on and it should feel a bit smoother
He said the sanded it 😑
Sanding, the printer he uses, and the density of the filament
damn, I've been using the G305 for a while with a lithium AAA battery with AA adapter after switching from the G102 and i absolutely love it. thanks for bringing to light this 3D printed file!
Irfan Hakim i have g102 can u tell me the difference between the two
G305 is wireless, G102 is wired.
Shu C i know that but the performance wise
@@nsevaljevic Has the same shell as the G102 so you'd love the shape if you love the G102. Has Logitech's current best sensor (HERO). Uses a AA sized battery and comes with an Alkaline one which together makes it 97g - my advice is to use a AAA sized Lithium battery with a AAA-to-AA plastic adapter like shown in the video, that would bring the weight of the G305 down to 85g (the same weight as the G102). Has no RGB lighting (to reduce cost, weight, battery consumption), unlike the G102. All in all, a perfect upgrade if you love the G102 AND intend to switch to wireless. Otherwise, the G102 is good enough despite having different sensors.
Irfan Hakim thanks i just dont know is it worth it cuz the price difference is huge in my country its like 40euros between the two

Hi
His CS mechanics tell me that he doesn't play that game very much or even at all. This is an obvious 'get views quick' video from the hype train that is PC gaming peripherals and light weight mice at the moment. Don't be fooled.
@@killa4k Go watch his G Pro Wireless video and take a look at his Apex Legends aim. Tell me you can do better
Amazing content. You are extremely thorough and clear. Not many people have that quality.
I've done everything but that cover mod, great mouse, and great video!
I ended up getting 9 months of battery with the standard battery.
Just switched out to a lithium battery today, and it’s absolutely lovely.
I've used my Corsair M65 Gen 2 ever since my Gen 1 gave up the ghost and never really thought about the weight of the mouse as it's what I've been comfortable with. I've since removed the weights from the bottom and it took a little getting used to but I DEFINITELY notice a positive difference. Thanks for the informative video!

Just did this last week, looks good with my red back honeycomb. Thanks for the idea and info for the plans.
Off to Shapeways! Will be a fun mini project!
I've been fine with heavier mice, but the caveat is that I have to use a hard pad with good glide. I sometimes replace/augment the feet to something with less friction as well. Soft pads have been becoming more popular lately and I think that is directly linked to lighter mice which would better on those than heavier mice as soft pads usually have more friction.
Anyone here after the dissapointing Linus Tech Tips Video? :D
samio it was good just I wish they would’ve 3D printed as well even if we can’t afford it
It was disappointing.
Yup
As a person who has a G305 with a 3D printed honeycomb battery cover and a Lithium AAA with tinfoil and who was hoping to see some representation of the G305 modding world on a channel as big as LTT...yes, I'm here after the disappointing Linus Tech Tips video, though not because of that video, seeing as I did watch that yesterday, and I watched this video a day later.
With that said, I can't believe they stretched out switching out a fucking battery to 8 minutes of video, especially when the G305, due to the structure of its PCB and everything, has opened up such an amazing world of modding. I already have some other 3D printed parts coming in for my G305 in a day or two (hopefully before the weekend), and it's been fascinating watching people experiment with the G305, both putting its PCB into almost any mouse out there and creating wireless mice with pretty much ANY mice, and all the various 3D printed modifications people have designed for it, including honeycomb designs for weight reduction, and all the various flat sided and "grip enhanced" bottom shells. I think this video could've touched a bit more on the various different 3D print designs out there, since he already brought up 3D printing, but overall, this was waaaay better than the LTT video.
just use a company who can 3d print and ship the printed product to you
SFF and Gaming - Your content is honestly too good
Informative as always. Love the channel!
I have bought 5-6 mice in the last year and this one is by far my go to. I use it every day and I’ve only changed the battery once since January.
i love my g305, such a nice little thing for a good price

@dwayne any update ? did your mouse got a problem?
@@Bilnsky no, i still use it and love it
Just had my Model O delivered today. Very good mouse, highly recommend.
Great idea with the 3d print! I use g603 wireless and I will try the AAA trick too :D
Nice video, I'm liking the 3d rear plate. Did you scan this your self?
Crazy how times change so quickly on opinions
At the moment I am using the g403 wirless and I love the shape but it's too heavy. I was thinking of the G305 as a replacement. Thanks for saving me time and money! :D
Daniel E the g305 is very small. You might want to mod your G403 to get the weight down.
Playing without the back cover I find perfectly comfortable with a fingertip or claw grip. 76 grams is a nice weight.
"play them with the intent to actually improve" that is great advice.
I bought g305 for casual gaming on living room and I never thought that it was that good
I'm so happy that this really performs so well that I might be thinking that this is gonna be the last gaming mice I'm gonna own😄
Wow that 3d printed back cover looks nice. Thanks for the link. You can also add rubberized stick on side grips on the g305 if you prefer better grip. Also you can replace the mouse skates with teflon ones.
Love the G305, I actually like the texture but then again I don't really have a lot of sweaty hands as a filthy casual. Nice video!
I've been using mine without a battery cover. Very good idea though 👍
@Suaminya Dahyun it should be
@Suaminya Dahyun no I heard you will die 5 minutes after trying this
Single A3 battery lasted around 3.5-4 months on my G305 at 1000hz report rate. I am very-very impressed by the wireless quality / efficiency of this mouse, much better than charged mouses that need to be charged every 2 days, this is basically plug and forget.
@Optimum Tech I think it would be cool to do further videos on weight reduction with some of the other printable material's on thinkverse
if you want to make it feel lighter too, put some hyperglides on it and it will glide better when moving it, thus making it feel lighter
i just pulled the coil inside and it now fits AAAs very tightly. no need for foil or that other battery case, also since its cheap im fixing to 3d print another mouse case or drill the hell out of this one with a dremel
I've been thinking about doing this for a while. 🙂
What if we drilled holes on the g pro?
nothing really, the shell is extremely thin which is how its so light
what if you just don’t have a mouse. Ez 0g

Jokes on you, i use a trackball
i am using the g903 with powerplay, i am just happy i have a wireless i dont need to think about charging
Excellent review! I own and use the G305, G Pro Wired, and MM710. I've got small hands so these mice are ideal. Everything you said is 100% accurate. If I may add, for people concerned about weight/lift-off for swiping and flick-shotting in FPS, definitely go with the lightest high quality mouse for your hand. Going from 97g to say 50ish grams does make a difference! GLHF
I got that g305, very comfortable mouse and clean/simple lookin. It's great for fingertip users like myself, it'd be a 10/10 for me if only the sides aren't fatten out and have rubber instead of plastic for better fingertip grips. But w.e., I love it tho.
There are whole g pro wireless conversion bodies for this mouse where you basically just chuck a 3d printed set of parts on and get a 38$ (in total) gpro wireless
Just got a pack of AAA-to-AA adapters from Amazon and a Panasonic Eneloop Pro(GREAT rechargeables, arguably the best on the market per various tests) AAA 4-pack to throw in my [PIG] G602 - EVERYONE needs to do this for their AA mice, the weight difference is actually rather surprising! I mean, there isn't a huge difference between the weight of AAs and AAAs+adapters, but it was much more noticeable than I was expecting. In fact, I would even argue that, the heavier the wireless mouse, the more significant this will be. Although it won't reduce as much weight as a lighter mouse by percentage, it's certainly more meaningful to reduce weight in a heavy mouse than in one that is already pretty light weight.
10/10 mod - will be doing this to ALL future wireless mice
If you're very heavy on the arm aiming you can simply be more accurate for longer with light mice, especially when using on speed pads where you'll have to basically manually break a flick to stop it on time. Preferences vary, but it's hard to argue with the logic. Having said that, I really enjoy my 115gram MX518 legendary, despite also using lighter mice ;p
i had a g903 for around 2 years and it recently broke (switches double clicking etc), its now in the box waiting for the day i can be bothered to buy a switch and get it soldered in, as a result i purchased a g305 to get me by and to try something a little more basic and its been great, the weight is excellent and wireless performance is easily on par with the g903. logitech have made wireless mice great and lead the way, even if they use bubblegum switches lol. i even like the heavier clicks, there was more than one time i clicked the g903 accidently and shot a friend in the back and that cant happen with this mouse, for this reason its a bit nicer to use with a headset where i enjoy that feedback and feeling of pressing the button. no question the premium mice feel more premium, the lighter clicks are more refined but theres certainly an upside to more tactile buttons. my biggest gripe is the side buttons, im used to them now but they are not the nicest, oh and the mouse feet could have been a bit larger to glide easier, theres ever so slightly more resistance on my matt but im still wondering if this is down to how light it is and me putting more weight on top.
that 3d print looks great, i was hoping you bought it so i could go buy one too but no you went full pro mode and made your own, nice job, earned a subscribe from me.
Thanks for the video! Could you recommend an entry level 3d printer that can do the job? I want to buy one just to try this, thanks.
Love the idea to put the G305 at the top! Do you think it would be possible with the side panels of the steelseries rival 600? I know some players tried to play without them but it looks uncomfortable
I made a ball out of regular kitchen aluminium foil and it works totally fine. The weight didn't bother me but the balance is better like that.
What filament did you use for the 3D print?
Abs
Would an energizer ultimate lithium battery fit that mouse?
Now, a year later we have much more choices for lightweight wireless mice. What a time to be alive
Can confirm - I used to use the g403 wireless and while I liked it, it was too heavy. I've been using the g305 with a AAA battery now for about a year and, unless I decide to splurge and get the Pro, I can't imagine ever using a different mouse.
@@insightfn.6168 long enough that I wasn't keeping track
Hey Optimum I noticed it looks like you're still using the Alienware AW2518HF. I went and picked one up after seeing your review. I've been really wanting to try out 240Hz for games like Apex to see if it was worth using over my PG279Q 165hz 1440p IPS panel.
Annoyingly it is super worth it and helps my gameplay, though I'm really stuck trying to pull this monitor into shape to use as a daily driver for other content. In the past I've been pretty happy with the pixel density of 24" 1080p panels, on my 25" AW2518HF however things are pretty bleak, text and OS elements look really pretty poorly on this panel, jagged and poorly defined.
I can't work out if it's the TN panel clipping highlights and creating this effect more than anything else. What are your thoughts, do you notice similar effects on your model ?
Also, what colour profile do you run? Your panel seems really well dialled in.
Hey I have the ips 1440p acer variant of your monitor, and also bought the Alienware AW2518HF and the LG 27in 240hz as it was very cheap when I bought it, but anyway going back to the alien-ware I calibrated the screen from setting I got online and turn up the colour a bit its much better now, and also I use 100% sharpness and its good make sure you don't use the Dark stabiliser, as it adds some artefacts which you ll see in OS and some games but it also does make some games better but making the image sharper, but this is subjective try and see!
I've been using a colour profile that's worked quite well, for colour and contrast levels at least. It was just another users personal settings from a Reddit thread, what profile are you using ?
What is the LG 240hz panel like, I'm imagining it's 1080p TN ? I'm going to look at both it and the ACER variant of the same specs.
I have a video on my channel comparing both 240hz check it out, I think your issue is the dark stabiliser turn it off as it adds some artefacts !! like black um smooth extra pixels effect making desktop look wrong, like around the edges of icons etc and other things ! (the profile cant remember where I downloaded it from if I remember I ll let you know)
He probably calibrated it.
i use the mouse on endurance mode while doing homework and browsing the web and switch to the 1000 polling rate only while gaming which usually 2-3 hours a day. great way to save on battery
Waiting for your video on the Glorious Model O :D
I just removed it and had some tape put on but then i had to swap batteries quite often(because i have some very bad rechargeable batteries, gonna get some way better soon) so i decided i should just let it be open.
Problem is particle accumulation though. Talking about G305.
G903 still is one of favourite looking wireless mice from Logitech
Hyped for the model o review
Hyped to test it :)
Me 2 mate, was about to preorder it, but since I dont really care about weight and it im used to heavy mice, I ended up buying the ec1b off of ebay for the same or less money than it would've cost me to ship the model 0 to Greece

@@nattttt212 it has basically the same dimensions as the FK1 so you can use its hand size guide for the Model O

@@shirdiy1665 just ordered one waiting for it to arrive. but do you even notice those 4 grams?
@@hmk992 Yes, a bit.
@@hmk992 weight, only ultra nerdy people........are you that nerdy???????
@@lucasrem lmfao what is that english.
I just switched to a g pro wireless from the 502 and main take away is that i have less fatigue and can snap across my screen easier, not necessarily more accurate. Also the power play mat is awesome if you can get around the price and less cable drag is appreciated.
Would I get a similar weight reduction if I use rechargeable AAA batteries instead of the lithium energizer batteries? Or do I have to use those specific batteries?
Found your video by accident and really like it, im a g305 user aswell and im modding him overtime, i'll try to get my hands on a 3-d printer around here (Brazil's government does not like us getting cool things). And I would recomend getting a Hotline Game mouse skates. I swear you'll be surprised of how much of a diference does it makes, the original skates are literall trash
Hey bro loved your video and thank you for such a great info as I need it but wanted to ask that will i able to rechargeable that lithium battery and if yes than how??
G305 without battery cover is so good，yall should try it
The honeycomb back cover does make it has a better grip
What kind of plastic did you use to 3D print the cover?
looks like ABS to me.
@@tonywang9026 Thanks
FreddyBL
What u use now, what printer?
Fairly certain it's PLA. There's really no reason to use ABS. I'm still a bit confused why it took him 6 hours to print it. I printed mine in an hour and 30 minutes in the exact same orientation. So I guess he's just printing at really, REEEEALLY slow speeds? I really like how this cover looks though, and printed mine in white. Might sand it and give it a coat of plastidip though. I'm going to further gut the mice and reduce the weight and balance it (the 305 is very back heavy). Gonna be nice I hope, when done.
It could really be any plastic, to be fair, because I am like 99% sure he spray painted the cover after printing it (seeing as you can't see the layers or anything and it's really smooth).
I have the g305 and as you made the point in the video the clicks are heavy but if youre like me and rage sometimes you can decrease the weight of the click by throwing it which I did when I died and now if I rest my fingers it clicks. 10/10 would recomend!
Pro gamer Phil bruh the same happened to me i raged and smashed the mouse against my desk and now my left click actuates lighter than my right click
Hello , where i can buy the light party ( 3D) for my g305?
Shapeways or 3DHubs
I 3D printed the whole housing for my g305.. I'm at 68g right now. Soon to drop that below 60g with a button cell battery mod x)
@Battz Sure man, here: postimg.cc/gallery/23aojnjs4/
Didn't have time to mod it below 60g, but I will soon
I used the following files for the 3d print: pinshape.com/items/51265-3d-printed-g305-ultralight-project-donation
You could also print the batterycover, but with my fingertip grip I don't need it, so yeah
Really like almost everything about the G305 and want to buy it but the shape and size is worrying for someone with large hands (est 18-19). I can use fingertip and learn how to claw but would I be better going off with any of the other wireless Logitech mouses to go with my laptop?
Just curious: do they have a honeycomb model for the mouse's base? If so you could just take off the skates and unscrew the thing to open it up and replace the base as well, may shave a few more grams.
I would love to replace shell on G203/G Pro Hero wired and add hyperglides. Will this shell fit on any of those 2 mentioned up.
What is the weight difference or comparison between a AA lithium battery and a AAA lithium battery with a AA plastic adapter?
I bought the 305 some time ago and at first I admit I hated it....but after a few days on it I'd never go back to a mouse over 100g nor would I go back to a wired mouse....a solid choice
Do you need both files for printing or just one? The honeycomb and the ultralight?
I use rechargable batteries for my G305. If I use a battery converter, does it mean not only I can use the AAA battery on my mouse but I can also charge them, right? It basically transforms my AA into AAA for any situation?
logitech g305 is amazing for everyone that has a medium to small size hand, light, accurate with basicly no delay at all
one of the best mouse for the price and the best wireless mouse for the price
What type of plastic would you recommend for the cover? I don't know much about this stuff but would like to get it 3D printed.
i like it with the cover off. with cover on it’s a little tall for how I like to play , with no cover it’s super flat . also , why do you need the that thing for the battery ... I have a lithium ion in mine and it fits just fine 🙄
man this looks dope,
my hand sweats alot so this would be a big help for me,
too bad 3d printer ain't cheap
Your local library might have a 3D printer! Or school, you should check them out
even if the mouse is light or not it all compensates depending on the sensitivity of the user ; even if it's a light mouse but you play in low sensitivity to match your preference does it really matter how light the mouse is ?
It looks cool as hell
Great vid m8
The only problem with the G305 is the side buttons and scroll wheel. The buttons are so damn soft and take a lot of pressure to actuate. I really liked the buttons on the G603 which I had before. And the scroll wheel is obnoxiously loud. I really understand why the G Pro costs 3 times as much.
So if I play without the back cover the mouse won't explode?
I get my model o this Monday
will the honeycomb shell work for the g203?
I'd switch to a lighter one (currently got the g502 with I think 125g) but there are some buttons on the mouse that I have bound to important weapon slots etc, kinda sucks tbh
finalmouse ultralight 2 is about to be lit
glorious model o is already out isnt it?
I bought it a few days back
yesterday after doing some flick shots i noticed that the battery cover was fitted uneven it was like not aligned and was extending from right side
Is it because of flicking(rapid movement ) in apex legends , csgo?
The battery is so good
this mouse still kicks!
i tried to send in the file to shapeways and they said they it would probably break during the process... they gave me the option to print it always and i was just wondering if i should, any help is much appreciated.
what type of plastic on shapeways should the battery cover be made from?
