Because the G305 Lightspeed foregoes all forms of LED frippery, customization is limited to the pair of buttons on its left side. Toward the rear of the mouse is the Logitech "G" logo, which naturally stands for "Gaming." Gamers accustomed to more ostentatious mice will notice the absence of colorful lights beaming through that emblem. Note that the USB receiver (which you can tuck inside an included USB extender cable, if needed) is the G305 Lightspeed's only means of wireless transmission. You access both items by pressing down on the rear half of the mouse shell and sliding it off. Speaking of which: If you can't find the 2.4GHz USB dongle at first, that's because it's stored inside the mouse proper, to the left of the battery for safekeeping. It's notable that the G305 doesn't feel heavy despite having a AA alkaline battery tucked inside its shell as its power source. The Razer Mamba, a pricier, Editors' Choice-winning wireless competitor to the G305 Lightspeed, on the other hand, weighs a comparatively "whopping" 4.32 ounces.

The Logitech G305 Lightspeed lacks many of the features you would expect from a high-end wireless gaming mouse like the Logitech G903 Lightspeed ($90.98 at Amazon) (Opens in a new window). We couldn't quite measure that, but our hand did tell us this is one snappy gaming mouse for a wireless model. 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. 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).
