Our Verdict

Logitech G203 Prodigy

Logitech G305 LIGHTSPEED

The Logitech G203 Prodigy and the Logitech G305 LIGHTSPEED are practically the same mice, but the G203 is wired-only while the G305 is wireless-only. You can set a higher CPI on the G305, but performance-wise, there isn't much difference between these two mice. That said, the G203 has an RGB lighting strip.
