The G502 Lightspeed Wireless is the latest iteration of a long-standing favorite among Logitech fans, the G502 Proteus Spectrum. Initially upgraded to use its Hero 16K DPI sensor, Logitech then took the next logical step by pairing this beast of a gaming mouse with its PowerPlay technology, allowing it to remain charged continuously when using the PowerPlay mat. Even without the mat though, it still packs plenty of stamina, offering more than 40 hours on a single charge.
Our previous wireless mouse of choice, the Logitech G903, remains an excellent option, especially for southpaw shooters, but the added customizability and macros set the G502 ahead of the competition. This wireless version is the spitting image of its ancestors and the pinnacle of uncompromising performance in wireless gaming rodents.

Razer has unleashed a trinity of wireless gaming peripherals this year, building upon the V2 editions of its most popular products. The BlackWidow V2 Pro wasn't a huge success, but the Razer BlackShark V2 in both wired and wireless Pro iterations is one of the best gaming headsets around.
The wireless V2 Pro has the exact same super-comfortable, stylish design, and the Focus+ sensor is as swift and as accurate as any wired rodent you could find. With the HyperSpeed wireless tech connecting you to your gaming PC practically latency-free, and with around 70 hours of gaming battery life too, the DeathAdder V2 Pro is now the ultimate version of this long-lived rodent.
It still just about sits in the shade of the Logitech G502 Lightspeed wireless, largely because the infinite scroll wheel of that mouse is so awesome. Even so, the DeathAdder V2 Pro is so good, that it's a very close call.

With the Logitech G305 Lightspeed, Logitech has tried to create a high-performance wireless gaming mouse that doesn't cost the earth. Its mid-range price has it competing against some great wired mice, but there's no compromise here in terms of performance or design.
The G305 uses Logitech's Hero sensor, an iteration of the fantastic sensor in the G502. It can last more than 200 hours on a single AA battery (which helps keep the cost down vs. being rechargeable). The small wireless dongle can be stored inside the body of the mouse, but critically, the left- and right-click buttons are separate pieces from the removable palm rest, ensuring a reliable and satisfying click.
The shape of the G305 is based on a small, ambidextrous design Logitech has been using for years. While components like the scroll wheel and buttons don't feel quite as premium as the ones in the G502, they're still far better than anything you'll find in a cheap gaming mouse. The quality and performance of the G305 are killer features for its price.
