A Fresh Take on a Classic Shape
Despite the Logitech G305 Lightspeed still ranking as an Amazon best-seller, it was overdue for an update. The manufacturer has announced the G305 X Superlight after rumors had emerged in Spring 2025. The wireless gaming mouse has undergone a dramatic weight loss while adding Bluetooth and an upgraded optical sensor.
Pricing and Launch Details
The Logitech G305 X Superlight releases on June 30th for an asking price of $79.99/€79.99/£69.99. Black and white colorways are available at launch. This price point keeping the mouse in the midrange category, making it attractive for gamers who don’t want to spend a fortune.
Design and Ergonomics
The familiar symmetrical egg shape has survived, with the gaming mouse sporting nearly identical dimensions. As a result, its 6 programmable buttons still invite multiple grips. That said, larger hands may prefer the pricier but longer G Pro X Superlight 2. Owners will find a dash of RGB lighting underneath the scroll wheel, which adds a nice aesthetic touch without being overbearing.
Weight Reduction and Battery Life
Weighing around 60 grams, the G305 X Superlight is significantly lighter than its 99-gram predecessor. The loss of AA batteries accounts for much of that difference. Responding to feedback, the accessory is now USB-C rechargeable to replenish a battery life of at least 130 hours. The company claims gamers can gain up to 3.5 hours of use from a 2-minute charge, which is really impressive for quick top-ups between sessions.
Connectivity and Performance Upgrades
Connectivity has improved, led by the arrival of Bluetooth. Lightspeed wireless returns through a bundled dongle, and a wired mode is also supported. To compete with higher-end models, the Logitech mouse can connect to an optional 8kHz polling rate receiver, which should reduce latency for competitive play.
Sensor and Software Capabilities
It may be overkill for a modestly priced wireless gaming mouse, but Logitech has equipped the G305 X Superlight with a Hero 44K sensor. Sensitivity can be adjusted in the G Hub software, which also allows customization of buttons and lighting. A maximum IPS rating of 678, combined with a 60-gram shell, should promote more rapid movements for flick shots and tracking.
Broader Product Ecosystem
The latest Logitech mouse is part of the G3 series, bolstered by the debut of the hot-swappable G316 X wired mechanical keyboard. This gives users a complete ecosystem option if they want to match accessories.
