Our Verdict

Logitech G305 LIGHTSPEED

Logitech MX Anywhere 2S

The Logitech G305 LIGHTSPEED is a better wireless gaming mouse than the Logitech MX Anywhere 2S, but the Anywhere 2S is designed for office work and travel. The G305 LIGHTSPEED has a much wider CPI range and a lower click latency. However, the MX Anywhere 2S has Bluetooth support, which the G305 lacks.
