![]() Even on the bungies that do fit, the cord can sometimes get in the way, you have to be really conscious of cord setup with the Logitech G Pro. The cable is so thick that it doesn’t fit in some mouse bungies. Since the mouse is so light any extra drag weight is really noticeable, good thing the wireless version is so great. The thick braided cable holds back the wired G Pro, all wired Logitech mice come with a thick braided cable that can and will drag on the desk and effect your aim. The wired version weighs a feathery 85g, while the wireless version weighs 88g maneuvering this mouse comes with ease, combine that with the sensor, this mouse is able to perform. If you see Pixart 3360 or any of its variants, you’re getting what is essentially a perfect sensor. The PMW3360 ensures a large effective range in DPI, no spin outs, no acceleration or prediction, no jitter and a low lift off distance. The Logitech G Pro packs a Pixart PMW3366 optical sensor, this is Logitech’s version of the top-tier PMW3360. The G305 packs the HERO 12K sensor, from all my testing is a flawless sensor equivalent to the Pixart PMW3366, Logitech has produced the HERO 12K to optimize for battery life, I’m happy to report that Logitech has done an amazing job with battery life, 250 hours on a single AA. There’s a little to be desired about the feet of the mouse, the G Pro features 4 small skates in each corner of the base, while it does do the job, I prefer more substantial feet on my mice. The G305 also has a little rattle when shaken, it’s not the most solidly build mouse I’ve reviewed. It looks like there’s a bit of inconsistency with build quality, the black version of our G305 is very creaky when squeezed, the white version squeaks a lot less, not a huge issue unless you kung fu grip your mouse. The entire mouse is made of matte plastic, it has a decent grip but not as slippery as the G Pro Wireless. The sides of the mouse are free of any grips and are pretty flat on the sides, but the mouse is so light and well shaped that picking up the mouse is easy. Full gaming performance on a single AA? I would’ve killed for that 10 years ago.The G305 and G Pro wired measures in at just 6.2 cm width, 11.6 cm length and 3.8 cm height, the mouse is clearly meant for smaller hands, for me personally it was a little small. Both demonstrate how far wireless mice have come in a short span though. It’s a toss-up really, and comes down to personal preference. That said, the G305 is lighter and slimmer, and thus more suited to being packed away. If I had to choose, I’d probably opt for the G603-it feels more like a proper gaming mouse, and the G305 is a bit small for my tastes. Both the G305 and G603 are excellent picks, powerful mice that nevertheless last for hours on end on one or two AAs. With gaming laptops more and more affordable, I’d wager a lot of people need roadworthy solutions for playing on-the-go. Not to mention the fact that it’s easy to find AA batteries almost anywhere. And while 250 or 500 hours of battery life doesn’t feel like much at home, it’s an eternity when you’re on the road. I’ve used both it and the G305 on trains, in hotels-even in the back seat of a car, with a bit of creative mouse pad engineering. I’ve taken to leaving the G603 dongle plugged into my laptop all the time, so as soon as it’s out of my bag it’s ready to go. I want a mouse that’s always ready, and both the G305 and G603 satisfy that requirement. But for traveling? I don’t want to deal with recharging the G703 on the road. ![]()
