00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:06.799
while a casual gamer might not pay too much attention about their gaming mouse

00:00:03.840 --> 00:00:11.679
for a lot of people the accuracy weight and shape of the mouse is incredibly

00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:17.279
important so then logitech's gpro wireless is only 80 grams has 60 hours

00:00:14.799 --> 00:00:22.240
of battery life and a top notch sensor which is great if you want to spend 150

00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:26.720
us dollars on a mouse 150 us dollars

00:00:24.400 --> 00:00:31.760
for a mouse so today we're going to show you how you can get a mouse with nearly

00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:37.280
the same swagger what more than quadruple the battery life the

00:00:34.559 --> 00:00:41.120
at nearly just a third of the price do you love your pet but have a hard

00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:45.200
time finding local daycare for them well with rover you can find pet sitters

00:00:43.120 --> 00:00:50.470
walkers or even long-term boarding in your neighborhood get 10 off your first

00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:53.649
booking at the link below

00:00:56.559 --> 00:01:02.399
this here is logitech's g305 lightspeed i know it doesn't look special and to be

00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:07.200
honest aside from the lightspeed wireless and hero 12000 dpi sensor it

00:01:05.360 --> 00:01:10.640
really isn't there are clear places where corners have been cut and costs

00:01:08.720 --> 00:01:15.360
have been saved like there's no RGB there's only three extra buttons and it

00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:20.640
weighs nearly 100 grams which in a field with players like the final mouse airs

00:01:17.360 --> 00:01:23.119
58 at 62 grams is actually pretty

00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:27.119
freaking chunky but bear with me for a minute here because on the bright side

00:01:25.119 --> 00:01:32.560
the overall shape is a straight copy from logitech's much beloved g pro wired

00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:37.040
not the g pro wireless because they're completely different

00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:40.479
and it's cheap relatively coming in at just under 50

00:01:38.880 --> 00:01:44.320
but it's not a new mouse in fact it's been on the market for almost a year so

00:01:42.479 --> 00:01:47.920
why are we talking about it now well that year has given the enthusiast mouse

00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:52.240
community plenty of time to dream up little hacks and major mods to make it

00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:57.439
into a mouse that can really swing with the heavies or in this case

00:01:54.960 --> 00:02:01.200
the lights the the light hitters before trying these mods we need to

00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:05.200
establish a baseline between the stock g305 and the g pro we think it could

00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:08.800
beat okay so this is the first mouse i want

00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:14.319
you to let me know about the feel and the weight of it okay i usually use a

00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:18.239
g502 so i i am yeah i'm a chunky boy i mean how can i

00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:22.720
not love the g pro wireless it's light and wireless and it still has like a

00:02:20.480 --> 00:02:27.680
fantastic sensor it's so balanced it's great it's like like no part of it feels

00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:31.360
too heavy it feels like it's just like so easy to move so easy to carry and

00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:34.879
it's like it's pretty natural to move it like i don't know everything about the g

00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:38.400
pro is just good i think this is what a wireless mouse

00:02:36.640 --> 00:02:41.120
should be like that's the baseline that's the standard

00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:47.440
is this mouse heavier well this feels

00:02:46.160 --> 00:02:51.519
heavier i think the g305 is a bit heavy for my

00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:56.400
liking it is seems shorter i don't know if

00:02:54.640 --> 00:03:00.000
that's true but it seems like it's less longer yeah smaller the weight

00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:03.200
distribution feels fine it feels like it's definitely back heavy it almost

00:03:01.519 --> 00:03:08.400
feels like there's too much weight kind of back here there's it's not on the

00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:12.159
back end it's lower center so it's where my fingers are i think i like the shape

00:03:10.480 --> 00:03:17.440
of the other one a little bit better yeah it feels heavier in the back as

00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:20.400
well uh in the same kind of way if the

00:03:17.440 --> 00:03:26.720
gpro wireless is a 10 as a wireless mouse

00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:26.720
the g305 i would have to put

00:03:27.040 --> 00:03:31.280
seven seven yeah it's just like way too

00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:35.599
heavy so weight reduction is a priority there

00:03:33.920 --> 00:03:40.159
is actually a ton of support for the g305 on sites like thingiverse with full

00:03:38.239 --> 00:03:45.680
honeycomb shells ready to download and 3d print which can get this mouse down

00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:48.000
to obscene figures like 65 grams for

00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:51.280
this user set sadly that's not something many of you will be able to do at home

00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:56.000
if you don't have a 3d printer but don't worry there's still a bunch of room for

00:03:54.159 --> 00:04:00.480
improvement that is more accessible namely towards the back of the mouse

00:03:57.760 --> 00:04:04.560
where there is a 23 gram weight in the form of an alkaline double a battery

00:04:02.959 --> 00:04:08.319
there are several different choices with some benefits to each approach so we

00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:12.480
bought them all and weighed them for your viewing pleasure and if the

00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:16.799
pleasure of maintaining the 250 hour rated battery life is important to you

00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:20.880
then the natural choice is likely energizer's lithium double a's which

00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:25.759
bring the overall weight down 8 grams from 96 to 88.

00:04:23.440 --> 00:04:30.080
that's a sizeable jump but the lack of recharging is a bit of a bummer so if

00:04:28.320 --> 00:04:33.759
that matters to you we'd recommend some rechargeable lithium double a's like

00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:39.120
this pair from 10 volts that we picked up for a admittedly rough 26

00:04:36.880 --> 00:04:42.800
on amazon they have an advertised 1 000 discharge cycles and they only have a 2

00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:47.040
gram weight premium over their non rechargeable counterparts but for me the

00:04:44.880 --> 00:04:50.880
stupid long 250 hour battery life is honestly a bit unnecessary i'm

00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:55.520
personally a fan of using a standard rechargeable nickel metal hydride aaa

00:04:53.360 --> 00:05:01.040
battery with an adapter this should give us about 100 hours of rechargeable life

00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:02.560
at about 86 grams not too shabby along

00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:07.680
with being better for the environment than a disposable and a hell of a lot

00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:12.160
more convenient however the lightest option is actually a a lithium cell at

00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:16.720
just seven and a half grams for the battery and an additional two grams for

00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:20.479
an adapter we bought on amazon that we cut up to save weight

00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:25.039
although you can also just use a small tin foil ball and some tape to make it

00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:30.320
even lighter this setup brings our total weight down to just 82 grams only two

00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:34.800
grams heavier than the g pro wireless at nearly a third of the price let's see

00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:39.720
what our testers think now wow looks like the other one

00:05:40.320 --> 00:05:47.280
interesting so what do you think now about the weight distribution and the overall weight feel yeah it feels really

00:05:45.280 --> 00:05:51.680
light that's awesome this one does not feel as back heavy bottom heavy yeah all

00:05:50.400 --> 00:05:58.720
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

00:05:56.400 --> 00:06:02.000
and it makes it easier to move around when you're gripping it kind of like in

00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:04.880
the center it doesn't have as much junk in the trunk you might say do you see

00:06:03.919 --> 00:06:11.039
that kill this feels like a much more like balanced mouse it feels great it's like

00:06:08.080 --> 00:06:15.120
light definitely feels more balanced than

00:06:11.919 --> 00:06:17.600
the one i tried earlier uh more ammo

00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:22.479
yeah 305 with a lighter battery is basically just the best most in the

00:06:18.880 --> 00:06:23.840
world the modified g305 is not a 10 yet

00:06:22.479 --> 00:06:28.639
i think it's eight eight and a half this is a hundred

00:06:26.080 --> 00:06:32.800
what how much is it 50 usd why is this worth 90 more dollars yeah this is

00:06:31.440 --> 00:06:36.240
pretty amazing and if i'm saving a hundred dollars u.s i would probably

00:06:35.039 --> 00:06:39.600
pick this up okay not bad but overall it seems like

00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:43.840
there is still something to be said for the engineering put into logitech's

00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:48.560
flagship gpro wireless with its near perfect weight distribution excellent

00:06:46.080 --> 00:06:52.960
feature set modularity and no fuss functionality hell we actually love both

00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:56.800
mice and if the g305 isn't quite the right shape for you and or you have the

00:06:54.960 --> 00:07:02.639
money to shell out the g pro wireless should definitely be in the running for

00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:04.960
your next mouse but so should the g305

00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:09.120
that's the end of the video go out and get this thing it's gonna be

00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:12.000
good it's gonna be good enough unless you just have mitts

00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:20.000
and maybe get two it's working for me though the mass drop

00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:26.000
vast curved gaming monitor is 35 inches of gaming goodness from corner to corner

00:07:22.080 --> 00:07:27.840
it features an ultra wide 3440 by 1440

00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:34.160
resolution it's got two millisecond response times it's freesync enabled and

00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:36.240
it's got a 100hz refresh rate it's 2500

00:07:34.160 --> 00:07:40.319
to 1 contrast ratio means that blacks look nice and deep and it's basically a

00:07:38.800 --> 00:07:44.560
seamless visual experience whether you're gaming working watching a movie
