Our Verdict

Logitech G703 LIGHTSPEED with HERO Sensor

Logitech G705

The Logitech G703 LIGHTSPEED with HERO Sensor and the Logitech G705 are both wireless gaming mice, but they have some notable differences. The G705 is a fairly small mouse, so it's best suited for smaller hands, while the G703 is a larger and bulkier mouse that small hands may find too large in certain grip types. Also, the G705 offers Bluetooth connectivity, better feet, and more RGB zones, as it's a more premium mouse than the G703.
