Logitech G305 LIGHTSPEED Wireless Gaming Mouse: 12K DPI & 250-Hour Battery

The Logitech G305 LIGHTSPEED is a straightforward wireless gaming mouse for buyers who care more about low-latency performance and long battery life than Bluetooth, RGB lighting, or a rechargeable battery. This article covers Amazon US child ASIN B07CMS5Q6P, the black Logitech G305 with part number 910-005280.

Amazon’s exact-child page showed 4.6 stars from 40,001 ratings and 10K+ bought in the past month in the latest captured listing. Amazon did not show a featured offer in that snapshot, while Logitech’s U.S. store listed the exact black 910-005280 at $59.99 and in stock at fact-check time. That price can change, so the more durable buying question is whether the G305’s AA-powered LIGHTSPEED design fits the way you use a mouse.

The 99g body pairs HERO tracking with 1 ms LIGHTSPEED

Logitech specifies the G305 at 99 grams, or about 3.49 ounces, with a compact body measuring roughly 4.59 inches long, 2.45 inches wide, and 1.50 inches high. Inside is Logitech’s HERO optical sensor, adjustable from 200 to 12,000 DPI.

Logitech also documents a 1 ms / 1000 Hz wireless report rate and tracking above 400 IPS, with no smoothing, acceleration, or filtering across the stated DPI range. Those are manufacturer specifications rather than independent performance measurements, but they explain the product’s intended role: a responsive gaming mouse without a cable attached to the desk.

The compact shell is also easy to pack. Logitech and Amazon both note that the nano USB receiver can be stored inside the mouse, so the small dongle does not have to travel loose in a laptop bag.

One AA battery is the convenience—and the tradeoff

The G305 runs from one replaceable AA battery rather than an internal rechargeable pack. Logitech rates Performance mode for up to 250 hours of non-stop gaming and says Endurance mode can reach up to nine months of typical use. Battery life varies with settings, usage, and battery characteristics, so those figures are upper-bound manufacturer ratings rather than a guarantee for every user.

There is a real convenience to this design: when the battery is exhausted, you can replace it instead of plugging in the mouse and waiting for a charge. The tradeoff is equally clear. If you prefer USB-C charging or do not want to keep AA batteries around, a rechargeable wireless mouse is a better fit.

The G305 also uses Logitech’s 2.4 GHz LIGHTSPEED USB receiver. It is not a Bluetooth-first travel mouse, so a computer or dock needs an available USB connection for the receiver.

Six programmable buttons and onboard memory keep setup practical

Logitech lists six programmable controls: left and right click, the scroll-wheel click, two left-side buttons, and the DPI button behind the wheel. Advanced assignments and DPI settings are handled through Logitech G HUB.

The mouse also has one onboard hardware memory profile. That matters if you want to save a basic layout and move the mouse between systems without rebuilding every setting from scratch. At the same time, the G305 intentionally stays simple: Logitech’s technical specifications list no RGB lighting and no left/right scroll-wheel tilt.

That combination keeps the product focused on sensor performance, wireless response, battery life, and programmable basics rather than a large collection of extra controls.

Who should buy the Logitech G305?

The G305 is a strong match for someone who wants a compact wireless gaming mouse with a proven exact-child demand history, a 12,000-DPI HERO sensor, a 1 ms LIGHTSPEED connection, and unusually long battery life from a single AA cell. The receiver-storage compartment also makes it practical for a gaming laptop or a desk that gets packed away regularly.

Skip it if Bluetooth is essential, if you strongly prefer built-in USB charging, or if you want a heavier ergonomic shape with many extra buttons. Logitech now sells newer and more expensive wireless mice, but the G305 still has a very clear reason to exist: it keeps the feature set narrow and puts the budget into a responsive sensor, LIGHTSPEED wireless, and long runtime.

If those priorities match yours, the G305 remains easy to evaluate. You get the black 910-005280 model, 99-gram weight, six programmable buttons, onboard memory, receiver storage, and a replaceable-battery system that can run far longer between battery changes than many rechargeable mice run between charges.
