What moves with your hand

121g99g

22 g apart

Read each weight condition below: batteries and removable weights change the mass. This is not a comfort rating or a measure of cable drag.

Specification conditions

Logitech G502 HERO: Manufacturer specification · Mouse only, without cable or optional extra weights; up to 18 g can be added.

Logitech G305 LIGHTSPEED: Manufacturer specification · With one AA battery; mouse alone is 75 g. Battery type changes operating weight.

Controls at your fingertips

11controls6controls

5 controls apart

Programmable controls, including the wheel actions documented for each mouse. More controls are not automatically easier to reach.

Specification conditions

Logitech G502 HERO: Manufacturer specification · Programmable controls include both wheel-tilt directions; the wheel-mode selector is additional and not programmable.

Logitech G305 LIGHTSPEED: Manufacturer specification · Left, right, wheel click, forward, back and DPI cycle; excludes the underside power switch.

14.6 mm apart

Overall body length. Shape, grip style and hand size matter too; this number alone cannot predict fit.

Specification conditions

Logitech G502 HERO: Manufacturer specification · Length from current UK product specifications.

Choose the grip, then check the connection. Left-side thumb controls are not a mirrored left-handed layout. Check the receiver or USB connection, battery requirements and your preferred shape. DPI is tracking resolution, not an accuracy score; no gaming winner is inferred.

THE DECISION BEHIND THE NUMBERS

What each choice asks of you.

Logitech G502 HERO

What it brings

What to check

  • The mouse starts at 121 g before its optional weights; the wired connection needs a USB port.

Logitech G305 LIGHTSPEED

What it brings

What to check

  • Its LIGHTSPEED connection needs the USB receiver, and the 99 g operating weight includes an AA battery.
