YES, I have tried going to Bluetooth settings and clicking "Add a Bluetooth or other device" but it doesnt work with my G304/5. It only connects if I attach the provided bluetooth dongle that came with the mouse. I just don't want to keep a tiny dongle around which I may loose. Even though I could put it in the mouse's dongle area, but it's a hassle to open and close the lid multiple times a day, daily. It also chips away the durability of the lid. There's always that one thing that a mouse can't do...

Hello reader! (TL:DR at bottom) I'm in the following situation I've been using Logitech mice for a while, originally the G305 and since recently the G603. When using these mice I always set up my settings in a particular way using Logitech's software. These settings being, DPI of 8500 with a DPI shift button set to 1600 and a polling rate of 1000Hz I then save these settings to on board memory and go on my merry way using the mouse between several different devices and operating systems. For about a year this went without incident, be it Windows 10, 11 or XP and even Linux, always without any additional drivers. Everything was fine on my original G305 until eventually it started experiencing issues with the on-board memory, mainly periodically seemingly resetting it or failing to properly load my settings in one way or another. Fear not for warranty is here! I ordered another G305 off of Amazon (since I needed a secondary mouse anyway) and sent my original unit back under warranty. Guess what? Brand new Amazon G305 experiences the same issues. It was at this moment that I started tinkering with software like the Logitech On-board Memory Manager to find out if I could resolve these issues on my own. I even resorted to using the open source Piper program on my Linux computer, no dice. So back to Amazon I go with the G305, assuming it had failed due to a manufacturing defect etc etc. I traded it in for a G603 hoping to avoid these aforementioned issues. You guessed it, After a few days of use the G603 has started displaying the same issues as aforementioned. So here I am. Does ANYONE have any clue what may be causing these issues? Does Linux interfere with the on-board memory of my Logitech Mice? I assumed not since these issues already started occurring on Windows. Am I just having terrible luck with manufacturing defects? Are my settings particularly out of whack or is there some hidden piece of Logitech software I'm missing? Any help or advice would be appreciated, thanks in advance TL:DR On board memory on Logitech mouse seems not to function Symptoms: DPI resets to 1600 and DPI switch/shift button gets disabled entirely Attempted troubleshooting steps: Using both the new Logitech G suite and older Logitech G Framework software Using Logitech's own On-Board Memory Manager Using the open source "Piper" software Replacing the mouse, twice. Switching between Bluetooth and USB modes to try and see if it reloads the settings (G603 only) End goal: To be able to set up my mouse once with the software and then use it across several PCs without needing additional drivers or software to be installed. As on-board memory should be able to do.

I've been using this mouse since 16 February roughly 5 hours a day ever since. I started having this problem about 5 days ago. I'll be playing FPS games such as Apex Legends about once an hour, sometimes twice my mouse light would turn purple and it would stop responding for a second. The second after that my mouse would move really fast in any direction for half a second and then its back to normal. While the mouse is not responding I am moving it so I think the random direction it moves in is the way I moved it rapidly while it was not working. My mouse USB transmitter that is plugged into the back of my PC is about 80cm away from where my mouse is. My desktop PC is on my desk. The logitech software auto updates itself and I am using brand new AA Duracell Ultra battery that is 100% when I press on the battery so see how full it is. How do I fix my problem? I've tried using different USB ports on my PC, didnt work. Right now I am trying 2 new things to see if my problem will be fixed. I am using another brand new battery and I am using the USB extension cable so that the USB transmitter is about 20cm away from the mouse. I have tried cleaning my mouse pad and also making sure there is no dirt blocking the sensor of the mouse. Here is a picture of the LED light when its blue

How is the Logitech G305 for big hands? I currently use a G602 but I tripped into my desk and now the G602 is kinda busted. I've heard great things about the G305 Lightspeed, but it's slightly smaller than the G602/G604. My hands are about 8.2" long from base of palm to tip of middle finger.

Hi! Im alex! im looking for a new mouse after my razer abyssus broke. My grip style is a hybrid between a claw and a fingertip grip, my hand size is 20x10. Im a leftie and so i like ambidextrous mice more. Ive been looking at the steelseries sensei 310 and well, it looks like it might be the one. I only have one thing holding me back, and thats the cable. Because i absolutely hate cables and how they get in the way. So i turned to the logitech G305, but it seems a bit too small for my grip. So my question for you is what mouse should i get. If you have a recommendation than please mention it, but if not, a helper for which one i should choose would help Thank you for reading!

Hi, and welcome to my review of the Logitech G305 Lightspeed. Spoiler alert, it's one of the best mice I've ever used and I even see it succeeding my G502 if and when that happens. I got this mouse for £35.40 from Amazon UK, a far cry from the £51.99 RRP of the white version of this mouse. I've had it for a week and it's already grown on me as a mouse, having used a Logitech G502 as mentioned before, so I was familiar with the shape and size that Logitech would go for this mouse. What attracted me to this particular mouse was the Logitech HERO sensor, that's the High Efficiency Rating Optical sensor, and is supposed to be the most efficient and accurate sensor to date, and it certainly does live up its name. I'll be writing this review solely focusing on the G305, and compare it to my G502 near the end for a clean, subjective mouse review. When I first saw the mouse, it was actually a lot smaller than I originally thought, and that's mostly due in part to its minimal, simplistic styling, particularly with its nice rounded backside. It comes with the basic left & right click and scroll wheel buttons, as well as two additional back & forward buttons, these two extra thumb buttons can be mapped to different keys in the Logitech Gaming Software should you wish. I would've liked to perhaps see some more buttons but for the price of the mouse, I can't complain, especially since it's such as nice looking mouse. From the top-down, the mouse looks slick indeed. The Logitech G logo in silvery white is a nice contrast to an otherwise all matte black mouse. I love that the symmetry of the mouse as well as the spacing between buttons. The scroll wheels feel nice and rigid, and doesn't rattle. The left & right buttons click a ton and make a fair bit of noise but it's nothing to complain about. My one gripe with the shape is that towards the back, it tends to feel a bit too cambered which makes it uncomfortable for long periods of time in my experience. Other than that, it's a solid shape which molds to hands nicely. The back piece of the mouse can be taken off through pulling off straight from behind to reveal the battery and the USB dongle. This is super convenient and I'm impressed at how Logitech managed to fit both the AA battery and the USB dongle in here, given the space and total volume of the mouse. This mouse fits a single AA battery, or if you're feeling freaky, you can fit a single AAA battery plus a conventer, to make the mouse even lighter than if you had used a standard AA battery. The dongle fits snuggly to the bottom left of the mouse, and to get it out, simply pull straight up. I also particularly like that the dongle has the Logitech G logo on it, nice attention to detail and will make distinguishing it from other wireless peripherals a step easier. The bottom of the mouse is where you'll find the power switch - blue for on; red for off - which nicely lies flush with the rest of the bottom as to not interfere with tracking. You shouldn't need to use this much unless you're taking the mouse away from your device, as Logitech claims the HERO sensor will make this mouse "delivers up to 250 hours run-to-die on just one AA battery" or a groundbreaking "9 months of typical use in Endurance mode, which can be selected via Logitech Gaming Software". Now that is some extreme battery life claims. On topic of the Logitech Gaming Software, here is where you will find all the controls and settings for this mouse. Simply navigate to Logitech's website to download the software, and you're good to go. I have mine set to 1000Hz polling rate, and two DPI levels, 650 and 1250, with the forward & back buttons default, and the DPI button set to cycling between my selected DPI levels. I have full trust that the HERO will allow my G305 to go the full 250 hours in performance mode, and so I don't feel the need for endurance mode. Battery can be monitored in the top-left of the application. Alternatively there is an option to set one button to battery level to indicate how much battery is left inside the G305. This mouse, is absolutey excellent for the price. You get a nice-looking mouse with a comfortable shape, high build quality, excellent wireless dongle and battery placement, as well as that HERO sensor, all for under £60 depending on where you shop, and what color you choose... The size itself still feels a bit small, and the weight took a bit of time to get used to, especially since I've been using my Logitech G502 for over a year, it's a heavy and large mouse which is super over-designed in the best possible way. The sensor is the best part of the mouse, it is supremely accurate at everything, and has not hiccuped in my time using it. I played games such as Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Overwatch, and Fallout 4 using this mouse, and on all three games, it felt equal to or smoother than my Logitech G502. This sensor is no joke. The wireless aspect is honestly mind-blowing how good it is, I had an existential crisis mid-way through an Overwatch match questioning why I had never tried a wireless Logitech mouse before. I felt so free and unrestricted by a cable. Wireless mice truly are the future and the Logitech HERO sensor is at the captain's wheel.

Introduction many know me as a PSU guy, motherboard nerd, PCPP list creator and many other things, a mouse would be a far cry for me. but today i'll try to see if i can review a mouse. after buying a white G305 for €40,67 (MSRP €59,99) on 21'st of August, and the black one on the 6th of November, I've had my time with both in various situations, and feel like I can leave some thoughts on it from my experience so far. My configuration I put my mouse in 1000hz polling rate, performance mode, the first, second, third and top as they are on default, and the sidebuttons for a temporary dpi switch to 500 dpi. On DPI settings of 500, 1500, 2200 and 3500 for various situations and games. I'm mostly using the 500 for precision stuff like simple drawing, the 1500 for shooters and browsing. the 2200 if i feel like it's going a touch too hard and the 3500 when i have little space to move my mouse somewhere, but still want to use if for browsing or games like minecraft. the surfaces i use it on are tables, my armchair, my Roccat Taito and sometimes even my bed. the mouse itself is surprisingly highly responsive on all of these surfaces, though it still has tracking issues on transparant things, like i noticed on my kitchen table's transparant mat. Design/shape the mouse is small. this is something you either love or hate. as i personally don't have big hands and take my grip at the back and sides, sometimes using fingers for a touch more pressision it's very confortable for me. the thumb buttons are more like ring finger buttons for me, but for what i use them for it's fine. the white version gets quite quickly a touch gray on the bottom and a bit on the sides, but is rather easy to clean off. this is something to mostly keep in mind with the white version, but i can't judge about the black version in that regard, as i've had it too short for that the receiver and battery are a bit switched up compared to most mice, being at the top rather than the button. it never felt off for me during gaming, and it's for me easier to reach than the bottom, so i really don't mind. the rubbers below make it nice and smooth on other surfaces, but looks a bit scratchy after it's short use on a table, as i didn't have a mouse mat at the time for it. i still use the black one mostly on tables, but that one hasn't really shown any wear on that regard yet the mouses are black/gray/blue and white/gray/blue. to start with the white one: it's mostly white, being glossy up top and more matte on the bottom and sides. it has black rubbers on the bottom, located two up top, 3 on the lower and a circle around the sensor. it has a blue logo up top from logitech g, with g305 below the sensor. just below the g305 naming there's a red-blue switch with a grippy profile to turn the mouse on and off. this blends in rather nicely with the logo and everything when turned on. on top there's another logitech G logo, in light-gray colour. the black version shares a lot of the design, but has some changes to my feel. the black feels a little more grippy for me, and has the blue better blend in with the rest. i like the look of both, but prefer to take the black with me so far, as it looks less gray-ish after taking it with me for a while, one of the reasons i bought another g305. the dongle itself looks the same on both, but different from Logitech's other lines as Logi, as it has the G logo on it, making it easier to separate from my old mk270, which had a logi logo on it. it's something small, but a nice touch software the g305 can be configured with the Logitech Gaming software, where it will show up in the colour you have, and as offline if the dongle is plugged in, but the mouse is turned off. i like this small touch a lot myself, and it would be nice to have if i accidentally switched around the dongles. you can configure the DPI, polling rate, power mode and buttons, it also shows battery percentage and has a special feature to check your button use or your pressing time, to record it while you're using it, something i personally haven't used, nor plan to use any time soon. all the settings can be saved on the on-board memory or on the pc itself battery i don't have any numbers on this myself, except for that both are still fully charged according to logitech. but from @sowon's numbers it lasted around 6 months on a single battery on high performance mode, not that far off Logitech's claim of 9 months on the lower power mode. weight the weight of the whole device is in total a reported 99g. quite impressive as that includes an aa battery, the dongle and a wireless receiver with high end sensor. if you're freaky enough you could do an aaa battery and a converter, but i'm personally satisfied with it's current weight. verdict + left hand approved + high end sensor + cheap + light + configurable buttons + good battery life reported - white gets dirty quickly, even if easy to clean off - left hand approved, but not designed for - not meant for people with bigger hands full gallery link to mouse: https://www.logitechg.com/nl-nl/products/gaming-mice/g305-lightspeed-wireless-gaming-mouse.html#product-tech-specs
