Our Verdict
Logitech MX Master 2S
Logitech G305 LIGHTSPEED
The Logitech MX Master 2S and the Logitech G305 LIGHTSPEED are designed with different uses in mind. The MX Master 2S is an office mouse, with a thumb rest and a side horizontal scroll wheel to help navigate big documents and spreadsheets. The G305 is designed for gaming, with two side buttons, a higher maximum polling rate, and much lower click latency. The MX Master 2S is a bit larger and may not be comfortable for small hands. The G305 is suitable for most hand sizes in any grip type, though those with larger hands may not find it comfortable with a palm grip.
