Logitech G305 X SUPERLIGHT: 61 Grams, 130 Hours and Under 80 Euros

Logitech has refreshed one of its most popular mice. The G305 X SUPERLIGHT arrives as a 61-gram wireless mouse with a HERO 44K sensor, up to 130 hours of battery life and a price of 79.99 euros. The core information in this article comes from the review published by Vandal, whose team used it for three weeks for both gaming and work, and their conclusion is clear: lightweight, comfortable and precise, at a price that won't scare anyone off.

Why does this matter to us at Underworld Lordz? Because the mouse is the peripheral with the biggest impact on any shooter player's performance, and for years truly lightweight wireless models have lived well above the hundred-euro mark. A leading brand lowering that bar without cutting the essentials is relevant news for anyone competing or creating content on a tight budget.

What you need to know

• 61-gram weight, in the same league as the mice used by FPS pros, but at a mid-range price.
• HERO 44K sensor with tracking up to 44K, acceleration above 40 G and a maximum speed of 678 IPS.
• Dual connectivity: Lightspeed and Bluetooth, with a 1 kHz (1 ms) report rate both over USB cable and wirelessly.
• Up to 130 hours of battery life, six buttons and five profiles stored in onboard memory.
• Priced at 79.99 euros and, according to Vandal, the same silhouette that made the original G305 famous.

What it offers and what changes

The strength of this refresh is that Logitech hasn't touched the shape. Vandal points out that the new model keeps the G305's signature silhouette, a compact, symmetrical design that thousands of players already know. What changes is under the shell: a more capable sensor from the HERO family, Lightspeed connectivity at 1 kHz and a weight that places it squarely in the superlight mouse category. For anyone already comfortable with the classic G305, the transition is almost instant.

The spec sheet sums up well why the price turns heads. These are the figures reported in the review:

Who it's for

The clearest fit is the competitive shooter player who wants to move up to a lightweight mouse without paying the premium-series markup. The 61 grams help with fast flicks and long sessions, and the HERO 44K sensor offers plenty of headroom for any reasonable sensitivity. Bluetooth compatibility also opens the door to using it with a laptop or tablet without taking up the receiver.

It also suits content creators. Vandal stresses that the mouse impressed in daily work, not just in games, and the battery life of up to 130 hours means forgetting about the cable for weeks of editing, streaming and matches. The five onboard profiles let you carry your settings to another PC, which is handy for anyone switching between a home rig, a laptop and an event setup.

Our take

Here at Underworld Lordz we've been saying for a long time that weight and sensor are the only things that truly matter in a competitive mouse, and that everything else is marketing. That's why this G305 X SUPERLIGHT strikes us as one of Logitech's most sensible proposals in years: it delivers the two things that matter for under 80 euros and keeps a shape that has already proven itself. If the sensor performs as Vandal describes, many players will have no reason to spend twice as much.

That said, there are also reasons to be critical. Six buttons is just enough for an FPS, but falls short for anyone playing MOBAs or MMOs who needs more shortcuts. And the G305's compact silhouette, a win for small and medium hands, can be uncomfortable for large hands or for palm-grip users. It isn't a universal mouse, it's a shooter mouse, and that's worth being clear about before buying.

It also remains to be seen how it holds up long term in the areas that don't show up on the spec sheet: switch quality, receiver reliability in signal-saturated environments like an in-person tournament, and wear on the finish. Three weeks of use is a good starting point, but the final verdict for our players will come after months of scrims. Even so, at this price, it's hard not to recommend it as the first choice for anyone looking to enter the world of lightweight mice.

What do you think?

Logitech is betting on lowering the entry price without touching what matters, and that could shake up the whole competition. Tell us in the team chat or on our Discord: would you swap your current mouse for this G305 X SUPERLIGHT, or do you still believe a competitive peripheral has to cost more than a hundred euros?
