The Logitech G305 X Superlight Black is the upgrade many owners of the original G305 have been waiting for: the same compact shape, now at about 60 g instead of 99 g, with a HERO 44K sensor, a USB-C rechargeable battery and Bluetooth next to LIGHTSPEED wireless. The black finish keeps it low-key on a dark gaming desk and hides daily wear, which makes it the practical pick for long ranked sessions.

Upgrading From the Old G305 to the Logitech G305 X Superlight Black
If you already own a G305, your hand knows this mouse. Logitech built the G305 X on the classic G305 shape, so the grip, the two thumb buttons and the DPI button behind the wheel sit where you expect them. What changes is underneath. Logitech’s pages give 99 g and a single AA battery for the G305, and about 60 g with a built-in rechargeable battery for the G305 X (61 g on the UAE and UK pages, 59 g on the US page). Losing roughly 40 g is the difference you feel in the first minute, especially with low sensitivity and big arm swipes.
The sensor ceiling also jumps from 12,000 DPI to 44,000 DPI, the rated speed from 400 IPS to more than 678 IPS, and onboard memory from 1 profile to 5. The length grows slightly from 116.6 mm to 117.3 mm and the width from 62.1 mm to 63.9 mm, so the feel is close but not identical.
Tracking on the Logitech G305 X Superlight Black for Shooters
Logitech rates the HERO 44K sensor at more than 678 IPS and more than 40 G, measured on its G640 cloth pad. That is well above the speed of real flicks, so the sensor will not be the limit in Valorant, CS2 or Apex. The default report rate is 1 kHz on wireless and on cable; Logitech says up to 8 kHz is possible with the PRO Wireless Receiver, sold separately. Most players can stay at 1 kHz, which also keeps CPU load and battery use lower.
In practice, set two or three DPI steps on the Logitech G305 X Superlight Black (for example 400, 800 and 1600) in G HUB, save them to a profile on the mouse, and it carries those settings to any PC, even one without G HUB.
Six Buttons and Five Onboard Profiles
For the Logitech G305 X Superlight Black, Logitech lists six programmable buttons: left, right, wheel click, the DPI button and two side buttons on the left. The onboard memory holds 5 profiles, so you can keep one for shooters, one for MOBA or strategy games, and one for desktop work. G HUB handles macros, button remaps and the LIGHTSYNC RGB lighting that Logitech lists in the specifications.
No More AA Cells: Battery and Charging
The original G305 ran up to 250 hours on one AA battery. The Logitech G305 X Superlight Black uses a rechargeable battery instead, rated by Logitech at 130 hours of constant motion, with the note that real life varies with use and conditions. The Logitech G305 X Superlight Black charges through USB-C, and Logitech says 2 minutes of charge gives up to 3.5 hours of play. You trade some runtime for about 40 g less weight and no batteries to buy. Logitech does not publish the battery capacity in mAh.
Three Connection Modes
On the Logitech G305 X Superlight Black, LIGHTSPEED is the mode for gaming: Logitech describes it as a professional-grade, low-latency link through the USB receiver. Bluetooth lets you pair the mouse with a laptop or another device when the receiver is not with you, and the USB-A to USB-C cable gives a wired connection while charging. The old G305 offered LIGHTSPEED only.
Logitech G305 X Superlight Black Compared With PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2 SE
Logitech’s figures for the PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2 SE are 60 g, HERO 2 at 100 to 44,000 DPI, more than 888 IPS and more than 88 G, LIGHTFORCE switches, 5 buttons, LIGHTSPEED only and 88 hours of battery, in a 125 x 63.5 x 40 mm body. So at the same weight, the SE has higher published tracking limits and a longer shell for larger hands, while the G305 X gives you Bluetooth, an extra button, RGB lighting and 130 hours of battery in a smaller body. Pick the SE for pure esports; pick the G305 X if you want one black mouse for gaming, work and travel.
Who This Is Not For
The Logitech G305 X Superlight Black is not for left-handed players who rely on thumb buttons, because both side buttons are on the left. It is not the best fit for large hands with a full palm grip, since the body is 117.3 mm long. If you need 8 kHz polling now, budget for the PRO Wireless Receiver. Logitech does not publish the main switch type, so buyers who want a named optical or mechanical switch will not find it. If you prefer a battery you can swap in seconds, the old AA-powered G305 still does that. Finally, the receiver is USB-A, so a USB-C-only laptop needs an adapter unless you use Bluetooth.
