I have been using G304 for about 2.5 years now, no gaming. I had to RMA it four times as double-clicking and sensor acting out issues would pop-up every 6-7 months, the average time to get a replacement was 10 days, the last time I did get the replacemnet instantly though. See when G304/305 works, it works amazingly but be ready to visit service centre at least once a year. This is the case with every Logitech mouse, before this I was using a G502 since 2016. Logitech should just increase the warranty, for the premium it charges the products don't last, heck even a clone brand like Rapoo offer 3 years warranty.
They don't last long. That's why you should pay more. Do yourself a favor and don't splurge on a "gaming mouse". None of them will last 10+ years. A lot of gaming mice have delicate triggers and switches and are just as vulnerable in a $200 mouse as they are in a $30 mouse.
I loved mine. Can fully vouch for this mouse. It kicks some ass for its value. Very accurate too & the buttons feel good for a very long time until they finally quit. I used this mouse for a very long time until it finally broke on its buttons from just pure clicking & use. Were talking hundreds of hours of hard gaming on Resident Evil 4 Remake for example plus other games as well. Battery life is excellent & i literally never really needed to change batteries that often only in a eventual rarity, rechargeables do work.
@@1Octane1 The battery since it is just simple double AA you can easily get them cheap in bulk or big packs. I their rated for over 300 hours? Like they last a very long time! Great battery conservation even at max polling etc.
@@jimskeuh I don't notice it as a headphone user no. I totally phase it out. It's not extremely quiet but it's nice & positive to know you clicked it, not mushy nor is it really loud or annoying. I never noticed the click audibly while gaming cause I'm typically not really listening for it anyway especially with my headphones on. Without headphones? You will hear a small positive click, nothing obnoxious.
@@jimskeuh it's high quality parts & nice sensors etc for a cheap price. Id say it's worth it especially if you don't have big hands. Small hand friendly mouse.
I upgraded to G305, after the sidebuttons on my original G303 stopped working. Unfortunately for me the weight was too much. I ended up switching to a Warehouse Deal G303 Shroud edition for around 40 Euro, which was a perfect fit for me. Another thing is that at least in my country, the G Pro Superlights can be had for under 40 Euro used, and they are much better than the G305 in terms of ergonomics.
Mine recently just went out on me due to the usb receiver and can't seem to get it going again, so I'll either get a new usb or a completely new mouse.
My 2 year old daughter chewed my scroll wheel rubber and it won't scroll now so I need a replacement lol. I'll tell you now the cover does get loose over time. I may get a razer mouse instead of another logitech.
Did you by any chance get it from AliExpress? Because I've seen some G304/G305s there for way cheaper than they should be, and I'm pretty sure they're fake. I would suggest you try it on another computer and see if it gets detected by G-Hub. If it doesn't, there is a high chance that it's not really a G305.

Hey buddy, how's it going? Does this mouse need Bluetooth on the PC to work?
$37 brand new from Best Buy in the US right now.
I was wondering how it would do on Linux. Thx for mentioning. How freely does the scroll wheel move?
it is a bit stiff but i think thats a good thing sice accidental inputs are a non issue thasnks to that.

i got question which use port i should to plug my receiver into? some ppl say its good to plug it into USB 2.0?
i use a AAA battery whit a small ball of aluminum foil to make up the size difference, that cuts the weight down
Crafty
How exactly do you configure that?
@@dF_fallz just roll a small ball of foil and drop it in the mouse before you insert the battery
Which side of the battery does the tinfoil go@@heino090285

U got scammed
are the g304 and g305 same?
Yeah different names in different regions i guess 😊
Yes
super
60 bucks for a AAA battery powered mouse? no thank you
If you actually pay $60 (Canadian) sure. For $30-40? I think it's a decent deal.
How long battery lasts@@WhatNowTech
It runs on AAs for over 250 hours and you pay for the sensor not the batteries used…
You are a fuckin genius
you can get a REDRAGON VAMPIRE ELITE M686 RGB for 40usd which is much better
👍👍
