Our Verdict
Logitech G305 LIGHTSPEED
Logitech G403 HERO
The Logitech G403 HERO is a better gaming mouse than the Logitech G305 LIGHTSPEED. The G403 is lighter, and it feels better built. It's very well-suited for a palm grip, though people with medium and large hands can also use it with a claw grip. It also has a wider CPI range. That said, the G305 is smaller and connects wirelessly with its USB receiver, making it a better choice if you plan to bring it with you on the go.
