Pros
Sort
-
Connection stability was a strength, with reviewers reporting seamless switching, parity across modes, and no connectivity issues.
-
Glide smoothness was consistently praised, with large feet/skates helping the mouse move smoothly across mats and other surfaces.
-
Wireless latency was consistently strong on LIGHTSPEED, with reviewers reporting no lag, low latency, and responsive control.
-
Build quality drew strong praise for solid construction, robust workmanship, and a tank-like shell, with only minor seam/dirt caveats elsewhere.
-
Reviewers praised LIGHTSPEED/2.4GHz as fast, snappy, and seamless, with several recommending the dongle for gaming over Bluetooth.
-
RGB was often praised for soft Aurora styling and striking pastel effects, though some reviewers found it limited, covered by the palm, or not special enough.
-
Charging convenience was well received thanks to USB-C, fast recharge mentions, and the ability to keep using the mouse while charging.
-
Wireless performance was broadly positive in real use, though not always enough to overcome concerns around price, sensor spec, or weight.
-
Buttons were consistently described as easy to reach, responsive, and satisfying, especially for the intended small-hand audience.
-
Ergonomics were strong for small hands, with praise for thumb support and contouring, but reviewers repeatedly warned larger hands may struggle.
-
Switch feel was consistently positive, with clicky, tactile, sharp, and satisfying wording across multiple reviews.
-
Portability was a clear strength thanks to the compact body, wireless options, USB-C, and easy bag/laptop use.
-
Button customization was viewed positively through G Hub remapping and macro assignment, though some praise was tied to the software experience rather than the hardware alone.
-
Premium feel was strong where reviewers praised the cohesive package, premium plastics, and impressive in-hand feel.
-
Claw grip comfort was one of the better-supported grip styles, especially for small-to-medium hands, although it depended strongly on hand size.
-
Sensor performance was generally strong in practical gaming, with accurate tracking and good implementation despite the non-flagship sensor.
-
Software usability was divided: G Hub was often called intuitive or feature-rich, but multi-app fragmentation and per-device setup made it frustrating for some.
-
Macro support was positively tied to G Hub, with reviewers noting commands, macros, and media controls could be assigned to buttons.
-
Bluetooth was useful and often flawless, but a few reviewers hit setup confusion or lower polling-rate limitations compared with the dongle.
-
Side buttons were praised for placement, snappiness, and quality, with no major issues reported.
-
FPS suitability was mixed: some reviewers played shooters comfortably, while competitive-focused reviewers criticized weight, sensor ceiling, or tournament readiness.
-
Fingertip grip could work because of the small, light body, though evidence was less extensive than for claw grip.
-
Cross-platform use was a plus, especially Bluetooth use with phones/tablets/iPad, though Ars wanted better multi-Bluetooth profile support.
-
Scroll wheel quality was mostly positive for responsiveness and controlled force, with one reviewer finding it a bit too stiff.
-
Tracking was generally described as precise and responsive, though multiple reviewers said the 8,200 DPI ceiling reduced peak precision versus higher-end mice.
-
Programmable buttons were useful and full-featured for a small mouse, but the six-button limit hurt MMO/MOBA-heavy use.
-
Left/right click quality was praised for light actuation, tactile feel, and easy clicking.
-
Grip texture evidence was positive but limited, centered on the matte plastic giving enough grip and feeling pleasant to touch.
-
Ecosystem integration was praised when the G705 could share Aurora/Logitech receivers or pair with another LIGHTSPEED device on one dongle.
-
Onboard memory was praised for preserving tweaks/profiles without needing to redo settings every time.
-
Surface compatibility was positive where reviewers said it moved smoothly over most surfaces, pads, and tabletops.
-
Shape comfort was the central tradeoff: excellent for small hands and some claw/fingertip users, but frequently too small or strange for medium-to-large hands.
-
Battery life was polarizing: some reviewers found a weekly charge acceptable or strong, while others called 40 hours with RGB disappointing beside competitors.
-
Long-session comfort depended heavily on hand size: small-hand reviewers praised it, while larger-hand reviewers reported wrist ache or inadequate support.
-
Materials quality was mostly positive for pleasant plastics and finish, though one reviewer warned the small seams may collect grime.
-
Durability evidence was mixed, with robust workmanship and long-life confidence offset by concern about seams collecting dust over time.
-
Polling rate was strong over the dongle at 1,000Hz but criticized when consistency varied or Bluetooth limited the report rate.
-
Click latency evidence was limited but positive, with one reviewer calling the clicks precise and fast during play.
-
Click noise had limited evidence, but the scroll-wheel click was praised as quiet and non-disruptive.
-
Lift-off distance had limited but positive evidence, contributing to good gaming and work performance.
-
Motion consistency was mixed, with one reviewer praising no DPI offset while another found the shell could rock and trigger movement.
Cons
Sort
-
Handedness was a recurring weakness because the contoured shape clearly favors right-handed users, with no true left-handed version.
-
MOBA suitability was weak for the same reason: reviewers wanted more buttons for MOBA-style play.
-
Value for money was the biggest concern: reviewers liked the mouse but often felt $80-$100 was high for its specs, size, and battery life.
-
The included cable received a clear complaint for rigidity, especially given the small, portable mouse body.
-
MMO suitability was weak because the six-button layout was considered insufficient for MMO-heavy use.
-
Software stability was criticized in one review for system burden from multiple Logitech apps and processes.
-
Palm grip comfort was mixed to poor for larger hands; some reviewers found it possible, but several said the short body made palm grip less ideal.
-
Weight balance split reviewers: one liked its stopping power for aiming, while others felt the balance or lightness reduced control.
-
Profile switching was mixed: software profiles were useful, but GamesRadar criticized that cycling profiles could not be done directly on the mouse.
-
DPI range was mixed: everyday users found 8,200 DPI adequate, while competitive or spec-focused reviewers found it low for the price.
-
Weight was divisive: some liked the light, portable feel, while competitive reviewers said 85g was heavy for such a small FPS mouse.
