It's been two years since the debut of the Logitech G900 Chaos Spectrum($86.99 at Logitech G UK)(Opens in a new window), the wireless gaming mouse that made lower latency a spec that mice of its type should aspire to. In all but name, the Chaos Spectrum wielded the same Lightspeed wireless technology that now powers the all-new Logitech G305 Lightspeed Wireless Gaming Mouse ($59.99). Logitech claims it will take just 1 millisecond (ms) from the time you click a button to the time that that alien craft gets blown to smithereens in your favorite space shooter. We couldn't quite measure that, but our hand did tell us this is one snappy gaming mouse for a wireless model. It's also a fairly basic one. The Logitech G305 Lightspeed lacks many of the features you would expect from a high-end wireless gaming mouse like the Logitech G903 Lightspeed($86.99 at Logitech G UK)(Opens in a new window). The big strength of the G305: It migrates the same wireless functionality in that killer mouse...
Subdued in style, the Logitech G305 Lightspeed seems a basic gaming mouse at first blush. Get your hand on it, though, and you'll appreciate its high-end wireless tech at a modest price.
