Logitech G305 Lightspeed Wireless Gaming Mouse

Technical Features

• Generic Optical Sensor: Unlike the real HERO sensor (which has no visible light), clones usually use a budget optical sensor that emits a visible red light from the bottom.

• Fixed DPI Presets: Instead of the 12,000 DPI range, copies usually offer 3–4 fixed steps (e.g., 800 / 1200 / 1600 / 2400 DPI).

• Standard 2.4GHz Wireless: Uses a generic wireless chip rather than Logitech’s “Lightspeed” technology. This results in higher latency (typically 8ms–15ms vs. the 1ms of the original).

• Button Configuration: Usually retains the 6-button layout (Left, Right, Scroll, DPI, and two Side buttons), but the switches are often generic rather than Omron.
