Please note that G305 is named as G304 in some countries.
Is the G304 the Chinese variant?
not a variant, they are exactly the same but re-branded as g304 in most (all?) asian countries.
I see. That's why I can't find any G305 here on PH. :P
And it costs almost half as much... the 305 is already quite affordable, but the 304 is pure madness. I bought two, just in case.
@JustGabThings currently the local equivalent of 36 USD to be exact. It's unreal
I don't know if anyone said it.. but I'm just gonna say it.. every time I watch you I feel like I'm seeing StarLord! :P
I feel you.
I feel you
I touch you
Feel*
I feel you
You should do this with reviews, you two giving conclusions at the end so we can get both's opinion. I liked this review
pablo rdz I came here to say the same. I really liked seeing these guys together in the video in general, but I actually really like the idea of having a couple of different viewpoints in the same product review. When it comes to hardware, separate reviews make sense because it's all subjective, but sometimes the peripherals come down to who is using this mouse/keyboard or that headphone/speaker. Peripherals can sometimes end up being more objective, so having differing viewpoints on the same product is just an awesome idea.
Dominic Francis agreed :)
cant wait they make a new one based on the gpro wireless shape.
im def buying this because as a hardcore gamer, its a light mouse that is cheap, good performance, decent shape, and wireless. love this!
As a hardcore gamer and software developer that has a mouse in hand for 14-16h/day I love G502. Like it so much I replaced my 2015 proteus core(that will be used in the work office) with a new proteus spectrum a few days ago.
Get the final mouse (something) pro if you want lighf
Galgemis with lithium AA batteries it can go down to 89g and with AAA + adapter 85g just as light as the g102 and gpro mouse
It actually goes down to 82g with AAA adapter + lithium battery. Lighter than gpro. And lol'd at g502 for hardcore gaming.
Try the shape before you buy it. I tried like 30 premium gaming mice and only one that suites me is the lancehead t.e. , g pro was uncomfortable for me and my grip.
After watching your video, I immediately bought one of this! Love it and enjoy it right now~Thanks, dude!!
Returned my g703 to snag this instead. Absolutely worth it. If you want precision and control in whatever you do, small and light mice are always the way to go.
not and easy choice trying both at the moment I must say you are right :)
is it still good now?
@@lastcliff Yeah, still can't really beat the value for a small and light wireless mouse atm
More like this please. It's good to see you both working together on videos!
I really like this style of video with both of you, also the lighting in Eber's office is pretty nice
Wireless zowie would be lit
Finally something that i can afford?

*Facepalm*
I like it when you guys discuss products together! You should do it more... Maybe a monthly show where you discuss the reviews of the passed month? :)
I was coming off an older mouse that was much larger and at first I didn't like this mouse when I got it. But it has really grown on me. It is so light, and I didn't know I was actually looking for a mouse that was light...but I am in love. With that said, the side buttons are a LITTLE to small to be easily used for my default hand positioning. Actually, it is just the forward button I have this complaint about, the back button is fine and the one I use overwhelming more.
*The wireless connectivity works flawlessly and from well over 10 feet away, in case you wanted to use the G305 in a living room setup*
The point about the nano receiver having "G305" on it is a great idea. I hope that they start doing that since it would look good and would be a good thing so you don't mix it with other receivers.
Christopher Steinberg On G603 receiver there is "G603" text on the side, so it's weird that this one doesn't have it
Ya, nice observation!
Finally I've been waiting for a high quality review for the g pro headset and g305
Great review! I love the sort of "unplugged" style in this one. Genuine and fun! Dimitry is rocking that "rolled out of bed to shoot a video" hair style :-)
I am fangirling, Eber & Dmitry 💗 I have a M720 that I need for work, but this mouse is a decent option for gaming probably more so on a laptop though. You had a “hair fail” near the end there Dmitry 😂
I for one like the fact that the sides are plastic instead of rubber, as plastic would last longer. Rubber feels great but it just doesn't last that long for me. I had a G502 for a couple of years and due to heavy usage, the rubber at the sides have worn out and have gotten really badly out of shape. It became so uncomfortable to use that I had to change to a new mouse, but all the buttons were still working fine so it's quite a waste to discard it.
Amen. Rubber-surfaced electronics turn into sticky nightmares after a few years.
just ordered it on amazon. can't wait for it to arrive!
So cool to see you guys together again!
I just got my G703 wireless, but will definitely keep G305 on my list. It seems like a very interesting option.
Buying On a Budget What do you think of it so far? I'm in the market for a new mouse and trying to decide between the g703 or the finalmouse ultralight sunset
techsimmons have you ever encountered the scroll wheel problem that so many are warning me about on this mouse? How long have you had it?
Ive had the g703 for almost 2 months now. Absolutely love it. No problems, super comfortable, super low input lag and just feels great to use.
TheSponge467 just got my 305 yesterday and I love it as usual Logitech wireless is as good as wired my aim is spot on with this thing I prefer a smaller mouse even though I have a bigger hand more control IMO I can definitely recommend this though. Then a zowie ec2-a is next on my list.
Thanks for all the info guys, it's been real helpful.
It's hard to believe Logitech really made a wireless G Pro :P
Facts
Will this work over a distance of ten feet from the dongle?
Keep doing you man, your videos are wonderful & genuine and much of it comes from your brilliant personality!
Can you do a wireless mouse roundup? Kinda like the wireless headset round up.
Well there are only two wireless mice out there. G603 and G305. That is it... The rest are recharge hell and gimmicks for days. G603, G305 both are Cheap, but top tier gaming mice with no gimmicks. I was waiting since 2012 for a real wireless mouse to show up and I didn't expect logitech to deliver, but they did.
I have had plenty of mice wired and wireless and I can tell you plugging wire in after every day is annoying, assuming it lasts long enough. Then there are those Qi charging mouse pads and the discharge everywhere instead of mouse that logitech has. Regardless if it functions or not, plugging you mouse pad into a USB to have a wireless mouse just feels retarded after trying it.
WildStyle Also the G900
JOXi Nope. Talking strictly NO wires at all. G900 needs to be charged, so it is as good as wired. Also overpriced in comparison to G305, same performance, but much longer battery life for much less? WTF? I don't understand gaming perifials. Better = cheaper, fuck it works for me. :D
WildStyle and the 703
Also needs a cable, so it is not wireless. Why are you both only mentioning wireless wannabe mice from logitech anyway? As I said there are only two True wireless mice out there. That are good enough for games. There are few others, but those ones have a bit too much of a technical limitations, as far as games is concerned.
I ditched my razer Death adder for this and I love it
I just ordered it and also have deathadder elite. Mouse is driving me nuts lately because it randomly stops firing during cqc. It’s alSo 3 years old and I’m curious about this wireless one
@@usedsweatpants799 remember downloading Ghub and making sure the polling rate is 1000 at the start i was going mad until i realised the polling rate was at 125 by default
Golden Life Gaming I have ghub installed already but thank you for the heads up bruv. Do you feel much difference ( for the better ) with this wireless mouse ?
Pantless Grandpa yea bruv, I do play a bit better I was able to top my highscore in kovac aim trainer and ya KD increased in siege, wbu did you get ur mouse yet? If yes what ya think bout it
@@goldy_on_pc930 Good to know. I just ordered it from amazon on Sunday so it will be within a week or so. I'll then drop my feedback here once I have it. But judging by your feedback it looks promising :D can't wait.
this mouse fits perfectly in my hands , made the purchased and I love it.
I've been using the g pro for awhile and I love the shape and comfort of it. I'm definitely going to buy the g305 for my laptop.
Its a lil too smol for my hands but I hope they start making their other types of mice wireless as well. Cant wait for that logitech Headphone review!
I bought the headsets and it's awesome - hopefully the reveiw doesn't completely upset me
I got 10cm wide hands so msot mice feel like thin bananas to me, Got a mionix castor but ive been tempted by the Corsair Glaive or the Roccat Kone Aimo. @Isaac Pao I hope to see companies get into better quality, I got the USB Corsair Void and compared to my Takstar Pro 82 headphones they sound so dull. Hoping the Logitech Pro will step into better quality at a better price, but I do love the features it has like the detachable mic.
mionix naos series. I have one and it fits my hand amazingly and is light as fuck
Change your grip. I have 19x11cm hands and the G Pro is my go to mouse.
Sames, good mouse but actually fits my hand.
g305 for president.
lol
Razer Deathadder Elite does better tho plus 50mil clicks
@@hoodiegamer9256 but not as light and has a wire
Mystic_ Acorn05 I went on and got a Logitech g203 for $37. It’s wired but really good and has RGB.
Hoodie Gamer i dont like the mouse drag on it tbh
Thank you, very detailed and understandable reviews, always keeeping value at best, youare doing a great job fur us.
Awesome value! Really good wrok from Logi! I am super excited to hear your opinion on the new Logitech G Pro Gaming headset! Hopefully they improved on the all fabric design and kept STEREO sound!!!
*uses environmentally-friendly packaging*
*also uses disposable batteries *
Disposable battery that lasts 100s of hours, or a mouse that requires charging every day...
@hue toob But then you get more weight. Go lithium and save some grams
To me, this mouse is super environmental friendly for my use and combined with cheap 40 euros price (my homeland Finland is really expensive country in most cases) was the reason I bought this mouse. To me, it is a mouse that can utilize rechargeable battery charged with my Liitokala multi purpose charger, when normal mouse in most cases have some kind of proprietary battery that means you have to throw your mouse away when battery is dead. G305 for the win, hope it comes from post office next week so I can test it soon and utilize to the max. In my opinion, "everyone" should buy this mouse, rechargeable high quality batteries from LG / Samsung / Sanyo / Panasonic and Liitokala's 11 € multi size battery charger with it.
He said they've moved towards more environmentally friendly packaging..battery is not packaging. He never said they were 100% environmentally friendly. The battery is supposed to last for 250 hours of use according to website. That's pretty freaking good.
@@TrebTrails sub 100 grams is fine for most people, and in my personal opinion i'd take the convenience of being able to swap out batteries that are on the charger at all times over losing that to save 10 grams or so, but that's just me
Its low cost is because there is no bs. Perfect mouse for me!
Great video :) You said you use the Rival 310 too (great mouse) how does the weight compare between that and the G305?
the thing that i like a lot about hardwarecanucks is that their review on product is so thorough and it helps me a lot about picking a gaming gear etc. Love the channel ,love the explanation, and love the starlord look. keep it up!
and they always tell the good and the bad of the product which not all reviewers do
My life would be complete if only Logitech released the remastered G305 with 60g weight and rechargeable batteries. I have tried everything from Razer viper to G pro wireless and for me G305 still gives me the most kills in fps.
3:10 funny voice crack
bought 1, and its amazing! i have small hands and it fit my hand very well
logitech has has always been my go to for mice. loving my new g603
me who litteraly just got the mouse an hour ago: haha mouse go fast, slow, medium, between fast, and then idk anymore
Use a lithium AAA with a plastic adapter to keep the weight around 85 grams. Also for better glide either get some hyperglides or even just remove the round foot at the centre some people find that helps a lot. Overall this mouse is closer to the G203 than the Pro even though they have the same shape. The G305 would be closer to the Pro shape equivalent of the G603, not the G703. As someone with large hands who uses fingertip grip, small ambi mice like this are the best options. I also much prefer no grips on the sides as my fingers grip much better to plastic over grips. But that will all depend on how sweaty your hands get. I do hope they make a G703 equivalent of the pro shape. (so with a rechargeable battery)
sold my g 703 for this. I love the g pro and wont miss the leds. but I will enjoy the 250 hrs of battery life in high performance mode and the 0 cable wories
I ordered yesterday and got my hands on it today. Honestly the weight isnt that heavy. It is appropriate and really good
This just went on sale this morning for $40
Sev rly?? Bc I got it for 49.99 on sale
@@lqnars7614 yeah but it was really hard to find in stock though. Mine took like 3 weeks to arrive.
Oh that’s cool
Hey man can you help me bcs I dont know how to install the software
pls someone give me a link that works or somethin'
I would much appreciate it
Waiting for this to become available across the pond
Very much liked this review with the two of you combined. What I presume to be an off-hand against Ryzen at the end wasn't necessary though.
i sold my heavy ass rival 500 for this. not gonna lie i didnt miss it one bit.
It's soo freakin' annoying, new products and of course not available in EU...
Arek R. It should come to EU soon.
not available in Canada yet either. your not alone
we get logitech products last in Australia so we have it worse than you...
Logitech usually has different naming for different markets so check their website the same mouse is probably being sold under a slightly different name.
Prasad Naik Nevermind, just purchased g603
Regarding having a rechargeable battery inside with a micro USB charger, a rechargeable AA battery can be used. That way it's replaceable or rechargeable, depending on your preference. See Logitech's own G700s or MX Performance mice.
Fellow Aussies, the G403 is worth considering if you don't care for wireless, it's on sale at Eb games for $68 as part of their mid year sale. I picked one up for myself and I'm really happy with it.
Eber x Dmitry hentai.
b-baka!
The Logitech G PRO Headset sounds basically like my IPhone headset. The mic is trash. I have returned this for a sennheiser game zero. Not worth buying!
Been eying this baby for about a month now. Gonna buy it soon.
Got this mouse and used an aluminum foil ball + triple a battery and now it weighs only 80 grams. Same sensor and weight as the G Pro Wireless but 1/3 of the price 👌
G502 Masterrace!
DarkPhoenix1515 that mouse is highly overrated
Man of Hokuto but highly amazing!
LeMans Electro-Light see? That’s what I mean
That's why I purchased a second one last week, after almost 3 years?
G502 is a brick
As a mostly story gamer I fking hate these kind of mice, $39 proteus spectrum Anyday anytime
I wouldnt mind my 502 being wireless though. the problem is that all these new "lightspeed" mice are basic 5-button mice, and I really don't wanna give away that third thumb button.
GamerGod91
I've got the g502 as well and there is no way I could ever give the buttons on this thing.
Very nice. Mapping the 5 buttons to the 5 signs in Witcher 3 is bliss
Top 10 Tech under $60!
I wish i could buy this for work and maybe gaming, my hand is large lol
I asked for this for christmas. I've been using the g600 since 2014 and the thing is absolute tank and not really suited for the types of games I play anymore. I noticed especially playing for honor that it's really hard to counter because the mouse is so heavy and the cable drag doesn't help. I'm looking forward to see if a much lighter wireless mouse will help me out.
It's also almost the exact dimensions I need using the 60% rule haha.
The G303 is the best competitive gaming mouse Logitech has ever made yet for some stupid reason they discontinued it.
Everything else is trash, Logitech mice have great sensors and great buttons but extremely awful shapes.
I'm pretty sure Logitech would've destroyed every competitor by now if they made mice with comfortable shapes.
BoomCHAKADA i have two,,,
Mouse shape is still down to preference, dumbass. Just because you like something doesn't mean everyone else has to like it. Don't take it the wrong way, I like the G302/G303, fantastic mouse, but Logitech is still dominating the Esports scene especially with the G Pro, G Pro Wireless, and the G903.
just 59$? What is a normal price for a mouse for you then? 150$?
L S some people are into high tech, some do not value that much. You're the latter. 🤷🏻♂️
For the built and performance - yes, it is just. Sure, you can always find cheap mouses for under 10$, but don't expect from the performance better than "meh, it's passable".
all other decent wireless mice are around $150 youre right.
The batteries do add additional cost to the mouse over time but considering the wireless alternatives where the average gaming mouse is around $150 and above, you could end up saving some money anyway in the long run.
been using the g203 and liking it, so this would be a neat jump. i actually hate rubberized surfaces so i'm glad they stuck with plastic.
Or you could get the G602 for just $36 on amazon......
g602 is a bad wireless mouse though, this isn't
Nazo I've been using it for the last 4 years and it's the best mouse I've owned
IIxVxII 1. mice are a highly subjective thing so just telling people "this mouse sucks get this cheaper completely different shape and size mouse instead" is dumb without proper reasoning
2. how many mice have you owned? if you like the g602 shape and are ok with the weight, that's cool but the tech in it is outdated and other better mice have similar shapes for not much higher price
Nazo 1. I never said the mouse in the video sucks so stop trying to put words in my mouth.
2. I think the 2600 dpi and the 500mhz polling rate is plenty enough for a gaming mouse. If you don't think so that's your perogative.
IIxVxII well if you think that DPI and polling rate are the only things that matter in mouse tech then that pretty much confirms what I thought
Sticking to my G102 Prodigy (Wired mouse , RGB logo , for only $20).
It's good to see Peter Quill doing reviews now
Nice review. Thanks!
And, by the way, what is your gaming keyboard that appears in the video?
Logitech g pro
It's name it's the same as the mouse xd
Not being sold in Canada yet. Hopefully local stores (Edmonton) stock them eventually.
Hey, I was wondering, what headphones was Eber using?
I currently use the very awkwardly shaped Logitech G300s ($39 on Amazon), this is a very nice upgrade that'll be coming my way :)
One way to solve the issue is to have USB rechargeable batteries. You could have two or three of those, you have one charging away, the second one all charged up, and the third being used. So if the battery dies, you could just cycle through the batteries.
Simple design, good tracking
If you like the shape of the G403, the G603 has the same shape/layout and also has the HERO sensor.
Just bought one this week for 40 bucks CA and i love it
do you prefer this or the g pro?
I've been using the g403 for months now but I don't look back as the ergonomics and the convenience of wireless is so much superior compared to the rival 300 i had before
yeah, i love mine too. if only there was a way to make it 10 grams lighter. might have to open it up at some point and scrap some stuff.
Does Logitech or any other brand have a higher tier mouse with the same general shape? That is exactly the form factor I'm looking for but I would like to see that with more features like the G703. Thanks
I'm really liking Logitech a lot. They're mice are really good and now they even have plastic free packaging!!
Nice review starlord
Do I need to turn it off after every use? Or does it have a standby mode allowing me to leave it on?
i like the white version.. ordering now at amazon.
i ordered a G305.. if i feel the sides need more texture, some epoxy to spread thin over the sides, and some silica carbine powder to sprinkle over that will give it all the texture it needs.. or, skateboard tape it
Can u help me how to charge it?
This channel needs their own Gaming Peripherals playlist.
just got the 305 wirelless and i had the prodigy before that,trying it out right now on a fps match.
get some black non-slip stickers for the g304, it would allow you to better grip of the side
Please review G pro headsets that you were wearing in the video.
I was waiting for this review...
Just got this. Really impressed with the Hero sensor... curious though where did you find documentation on the MacOS driver information?
Drivers for MacOS are not available yet.
-D.
Sorry must have misunderstood. I heard you say that in the video, just wondering how you found out about it not being available yet? When will it be available... etc. Thanks Dmitry!
Hi I'm planning to get either g305 or g403 wireless. Which one do you recommend? I'm using it for fps games like r6
Finally a review. Rjn is so far the only one I know who reviewed.
Getting close to that million club
I think you guys should check out the logitech m510 wireless mouse. would love to see it in a budget wireless line up but would love to hear your thoughts on it
Actually on my list this mouse.
Use a battery converter so you can use the lighter triple a battery (AAA) in the double a (AA) slot
I just bought the rival 310 from dell.... I would love to watch a comparison video about rival 310, g pro and g305
Was gonna get the Hyperion Fury, instead got the G305. Awesome mouse.
If you use a lithium aaa battery with a converter you can get it down to nearly the same weight as the g pro wired
i like the shape of the g603 more and it is the same price on amazon but its also a little slippery on the sides
Hello.I have small hands (16*9.5) and i am between model o minus and the Logitech g305.What in your opinion should i choose.Thanks in advance
