while a casual gamer might not pay too much attention about their gaming mouse
for a lot of people the accuracy weight and shape of the mouse is incredibly
important so then logitech's gpro wireless is only 80 grams has 60 hours
of battery life and a top notch sensor which is great if you want to spend 150
us dollars on a mouse 150 us dollars
for a mouse so today we're going to show you how you can get a mouse with nearly
the same swagger what more than quadruple the battery life the
at nearly just a third of the price do you love your pet but have a hard
time finding local daycare for them well with rover you can find pet sitters
walkers or even long-term boarding in your neighborhood get 10 off your first

this here is logitech's g305 lightspeed i know it doesn't look special and to be
honest aside from the lightspeed wireless and hero 12000 dpi sensor it
really isn't there are clear places where corners have been cut and costs
have been saved like there's no rgb there's only three extra buttons and it
weighs nearly 100 grams which in a field with players like the final mouse airs
58 at 62 grams is actually pretty
freaking chunky but bear with me for a minute here because on the bright side
the overall shape is a straight copy from logitech's much beloved g pro wired
not the g pro wireless because they're completely different
and it's cheap relatively coming in at just under 50
but it's not a new mouse in fact it's been on the market for almost a year so
why are we talking about it now well that year has given the enthusiast mouse
community plenty of time to dream up little hacks and major mods to make it
into a mouse that can really swing with the heavies or in this case
the lights the the light hitters before trying these mods we need to
establish a baseline between the stock g305 and the g pro we think it could
beat okay so this is the first mouse i want
you to let me know about the feel and the weight of it okay i usually use a
g502 so i i am yeah i'm a chunky boy i mean how can i
not love the g pro wireless it's light and wireless and it still has like a
fantastic sensor it's so balanced it's great it's like like no part of it feels
too heavy it feels like it's just like so easy to move so easy to carry and
it's like it's pretty natural to move it like i don't know everything about the g
pro is just good i think this is what a wireless mouse
should be like that's the baseline that's the standard
is this mouse heavier well this feels
heavier i think the g305 is a bit heavy for my
liking it is seems shorter i don't know if
that's true but it seems like it's less longer yeah smaller the weight
distribution feels fine it feels like it's definitely back heavy it almost
feels like there's too much weight kind of back here there's it's not on the
back end it's lower center so it's where my fingers are i think i like the shape
of the other one a little bit better yeah it feels heavier in the back as
well uh in the same kind of way if the
gpro wireless is a 10 as a wireless mouse
the g305 i would have to put
seven seven yeah it's just like way too
heavy so weight reduction is a priority there
is actually a ton of support for the g305 on sites like thingiverse with full
honeycomb shells ready to download and 3d print which can get this mouse down
to obscene figures like 65 grams for
this user set sadly that's not something many of you will be able to do at home
if you don't have a 3d printer but don't worry there's still a bunch of room for
improvement that is more accessible namely towards the back of the mouse
where there is a 23 gram weight in the form of an alkaline double a battery
there are several different choices with some benefits to each approach so we
bought them all and weighed them for your viewing pleasure and if the
pleasure of maintaining the 250 hour rated battery life is important to you
then the natural choice is likely energizer's lithium double a's which
bring the overall weight down 8 grams from 96 to 88.
that's a sizeable jump but the lack of recharging is a bit of a bummer so if
that matters to you we'd recommend some rechargeable lithium double a's like
this pair from 10 volts that we picked up for a admittedly rough 26
on amazon they have an advertised 1 000 discharge cycles and they only have a 2
gram weight premium over their non rechargeable counterparts but for me the
stupid long 250 hour battery life is honestly a bit unnecessary i'm
personally a fan of using a standard rechargeable nickel metal hydride aaa
battery with an adapter this should give us about 100 hours of rechargeable life
at about 86 grams not too shabby along
with being better for the environment than a disposable and a hell of a lot
more convenient however the lightest option is actually a a lithium cell at
just seven and a half grams for the battery and an additional two grams for
an adapter we bought on amazon that we cut up to save weight
although you can also just use a small tin foil ball and some tape to make it
even lighter this setup brings our total weight down to just 82 grams only two
grams heavier than the g pro wireless at nearly a third of the price let's see
what our testers think now wow looks like the other one
interesting so what do you think now about the weight distribution and the overall weight feel yeah it feels really
light that's awesome this one does not feel as back heavy bottom heavy yeah all
the weight that was in the back is just gone it's not like it like shifted it's just gone there's less weight back here
and it makes it easier to move around when you're gripping it kind of like in
the center it doesn't have as much junk in the trunk you might say do you see
that kill this feels like a much more like balanced mouse it feels great it's like
light definitely feels more balanced than
the one i tried earlier uh more ammo
yeah 305 with a lighter battery is basically just the best most in the
world the modified g305 is not a 10 yet
i think it's eight eight and a half this is a hundred
what how much is it 50 usd why is this worth 90 more dollars yeah this is
pretty amazing and if i'm saving a hundred dollars u.s i would probably
pick this up okay not bad but overall it seems like
there is still something to be said for the engineering put into logitech's
flagship gpro wireless with its near perfect weight distribution excellent
feature set modularity and no fuss functionality hell we actually love both
mice and if the g305 isn't quite the right shape for you and or you have the
money to shell out the g pro wireless should definitely be in the running for
your next mouse but so should the g305
that's the end of the video go out and get this thing it's gonna be
good it's gonna be good enough unless you just have mitts
and maybe get two it's working for me though the mass drop
vast curved gaming monitor is 35 inches of gaming goodness from corner to corner
it features an ultra wide 3440 by 1440
resolution it's got two millisecond response times it's freesync enabled and
it's got a 100hz refresh rate it's 2500
to 1 contrast ratio means that blacks look nice and deep and it's basically a
seamless visual experience whether you're gaming working watching a movie
or just browsing the web check it out at drop.com at the link in the video
