Our Verdict

Logitech G305 LIGHTSPEED

Logitech G403 Prodigy Wireless

The Logitech G403 Prodigy Wireless is better than the Logitech G305 LIGHTSPEED if you're looking for an ergo-shaped mouse for a palm grip. It feels a bit better built and is more comfortable to use during long periods. The G305 has a lower-profile design, which is better for people who like the fingertip grip. The G305 Wireless uses a single AA battery, while the G403 Wireless is rechargeable and can also be used wired.
