Pros
Sort
-
Wireless performance was consistently praised as reliable, fast, and suitable for gaming, often described as the mouse’s main appeal.
-
Sensor performance was one of the strongest areas, with repeated praise for the HERO sensor’s precision, smoothness, and gaming readiness.
-
Wireless latency was consistently excellent, with reviewers repeatedly describing lag-free or wired-like responsiveness.
-
Battery life was one of the strongest points, with reviewers repeatedly validating or praising long AA runtime, even when they disliked disposable batteries.
-
Connection stability was a standout strength, with reviewers reporting no dropouts, lag, freezes, or range problems in normal setups.
-
Tracking accuracy drew broad praise, with reviewers repeatedly calling the HERO sensor responsive, precise, smooth, and reliable, though one noted balance could affect precision.
-
Value for money was one of the strongest consensus points, with most reviewers calling it affordable, competitive, or unusually good for wireless performance.
-
Button responsiveness was generally strong, with reviewers praising light, crisp, reactive clicks, though several warned that very light clicks can cause accidental presses.
-
FPS suitability was a major strength thanks to low latency, strong tracking, quick movement, and repeated positive shooter-game impressions.
-
Portability was consistently strong thanks to the compact body, wireless use, dongle storage, and laptop-bag friendliness.
-
Build quality was usually praised as sturdy, tight, and well assembled, with only isolated caveats about batches or long-term issues.
-
Motion consistency was praised, especially for smooth tracking, accurate stops, and the absence of smoothing or filtering.
-
Button customization was widely liked because the six buttons and DPI controls can be remapped easily in Logitech software.
-
Claw grip comfort was usually positive, especially for small to medium hands, though some large-hand users still found the mouse small.
-
Scroll wheel quality was mostly positive for tactile, crisp, or smooth scrolling, though one review found it merely average and another noted noise.
-
Software usability was mostly positive, with reviewers calling G Hub or Logitech software easy, simple, and useful for remapping and profiles.
-
Click latency was consistently praised as low or effectively wired-like across reviews that tested responsiveness.
-
Profile switching was generally useful through G Hub and onboard memory, though limited onboard profile storage drew one complaint.
-
The 12,000 DPI range was mostly considered enough for mainstream users, though reviewers noted it trails newer or higher-end gaming mice.
-
Glide smoothness was mostly praised for PTFE feet and easy movement, though several reviewers disliked the stock skates or felt extra drag.
-
Surface compatibility was generally good across pads, desks, and varied surfaces, but several reviewers noted weakness on glass.
-
Shape comfort was highly subjective: some reviewers loved the egg-like compact shape, while others found it too flat, narrow, short, or awkward.
-
Switch feel was generally positive for tactile, clicky, light switches, though some reviewers found them dull or overhyped.
-
Onboard memory was useful for travel and multi-PC use because settings can be stored on the mouse rather than only in software.
-
Polling-rate opinions were mostly positive for 500-1000Hz use, though reviewers saw higher modern rates as mostly unnecessary for average players.
-
RGB features were mixed but often acceptable; many reviewers did not mind the lack of RGB because colors, simplicity, and battery life helped compensate.
-
Fingertip grip comfort was usually favorable, especially for small or medium hands, but stock weight and balance hurt some fingertip users.
-
Materials quality was praised for solid plastics and high-quality plastic components that feel smooth and well fitted.
-
Primary click quality was mostly strong, with praise for crisp, springy, satisfying clicks, offset by one long-term left-click failure report.
-
Macro support was viewed as a useful part of Logitech’s customization package, with reviewers noting it was available and easy enough to use.
-
Weight was divisive: many liked it for a wireless mouse, but others found it heavy for its size or too rear-loaded with the AA battery.
-
Reviewers found the 2.4GHz Lightspeed dongle dependable over normal use distances, with strong gaming performance despite one note about the crowded band.
-
Ecosystem integration was a plus for users in Logitech’s software and keyboard ecosystem, including G-Shift and app integrations.
-
Premium feel was positive for the price, with reviewers highlighting solid construction and a more substantive plastic case than expected.
-
Skate durability was positive in limited evidence, with reviewers describing durable PTFE and little concern about wear.
-
Weight tuning was mostly discussed through battery swaps or mods, which helped reduce weight but also highlighted the lack of built-in tuning.
-
Programmable button feedback was mixed: remapping was useful, but the small six-button layout left some reviewers wanting more controls.
-
MOBA suitability was positive in limited evidence because reviewers connected the light mechanical clicks to repeated click-heavy games.
-
Cross-platform compatibility was mixed: reviewers liked PC/Mac or broad device support, but software and Linux limitations reduced flexibility.
-
Grip texture was mixed: some liked the smooth or lightly textured finish, while others disliked the lack of side texture or sweat resistance.
-
Firmware-like reliability was supported by the mouse waking immediately from power-saving behavior without frustrating delay.
-
MMO suitability had limited but positive evidence, with World of Warcraft reported as working great.
-
Software stability had limited positive evidence from a reviewer who said Logitech had improved the once-buggy G Hub experience.
Cons
Sort
-
Bluetooth support was a recurring limitation because reviewers liked the dongle performance but disliked being unable to use Bluetooth or non-USB devices.
-
Charging convenience was weak because the mouse relies on replaceable AA batteries and lacks USB charging, wired use, or rechargeable convenience.
-
Balance was one of the more consistent physical complaints, with reviewers calling the mouse back-heavy or unusually weighted because of the rear AA battery.
-
Ergonomics were mixed to weak, with reviewers praising the simple shape for some hands but criticizing the lack of palm or ergonomic support.
-
Click noise was mixed to negative, ranging from average to noticeably loud or distracting depending on the reviewer and environment.
-
Advanced acceleration-related tuning was a weak point because the G305 lacks the kind of sensor adjustment features some competitors offer.
-
Debounce customization was a weakness because reviewers noted competing budget mice offer adjustable debounce while the G305 does not.
-
Durability over time was mixed: one long-term review found only minor cosmetic wear, while another reported click failure after a little over two years.
-
Handedness was mixed because the shell is symmetrical, but left-side thumb buttons make it less useful for left-handed users.
-
Switch durability was mixed: rated switch life impressed one reviewer, another saw downgraded switch endurance, and one reported failure.
-
Long-session comfort was mixed: light clicks reduced fatigue, but the small, flat body and side grip could become uncomfortable for some users.
-
Palm grip comfort was highly hand-size dependent, with some reviewers comfortable but others finding palm support poor or awkward.
-
Side button quality was mixed, with praise for placement but criticism for non-swappability, extra resistance, or mushy feel.
