Our Verdict

Logitech G305 LIGHTSPEED

Corsair HARPOON RGB

The Logitech G305 LIGHTSPEED is better than the Corsair HARPOON RGB. The Logitech is a wireless mouse designed for a fingertip grip. It has a much better sensor with a wider CPI range, less CPI variation, and lower lift-off distance. However, the Corsair is a wired mouse designed for a claw grip, and it's lighter.
