The Logitech G502 Hero offers everything that the first two mice do, but with a wired connection and an affordable price point. With a 25,000 DPI sensor and a dedicated sniping button, this is one of those mice that make it hard to blame anything besides yourself when missing a headshot.

Logitech G305 Lightspeed Gaming Mouse

One of the more affordable Logitech mice, the G305 offers the best bang for the buck option. To be able to pick up a wireless mouse for under $50 that works well and doesn't feel like it was made out of thin plastic is not something you see every day. Plus, it comes in a large variety of colorways to make up for its lack of RGB lighting.
Using 1 AA battery, this mouse can last up to 250 hours and connects with Logitech's excellent Lightspeed wireless USB dongle. The G305 is relatively small, so for people with larger hands, it might feel too small to hold comfortably, but for most palm grip users, this mouse is a delight to use. Fair warning for cheesy snack lovers the white color does pick up stains reasonably easily.
Logitech G Pro Gaming Mouse

In addition, the ambidextrous design and overall size make it easy for people of any hand shape to use this mouse, even for those marathon gaming sessions.

Logitech does not make an exclusive MMO-style mouse, but the G604 Lightspeed is still a perfect option for most MMO fans. There are only 6 buttons on the side, which is much fewer than most MMO mice, but 12 buttons on the side can be too much. With 15 total programmable buttons, the G604 is a great mouse, especially if you don't have 20 macros in your favorite MMO.
Like most Logitech wireless mice, this mouse uses the Hero 25K sensor, giving any MMO player incredibly accurate 1:1 movement. Unfortunately, there is no way to use this mouse outside of wireless mode, but with 240 hours of use time off of 1 AA battery, there is not much need for that wire.
Logitech G Pro X Superlight

If you are looking for an ultra-lightweight mouse but can't stand the honeycomb design most lightweight mice have, there are not many options out there. Luckily the Logitech G Pro X Superlight is here to save the day. Weighing in at 63 grams, this is easily the lightest mouse that Logitech manufactures and pretty light compared to competitors. This is especially impressive, considering it is a wireless mouse that has to house a battery.
That battery can last up to 70 hours, and while it is recharging, the mouse can still be connected via a USB-C cable and used at the same time. One thing that can cause an issue for some gamers with smaller hands that use more of a claw grip, it can be hard to reach the side buttons at times. Not a dealbreaker, but if you are a fan of using those buttons, we recommend trying it out in a store before making the purchase.
Logitech G705
G705 Wireless Gaming Mouse is contoured for comfort and control with an intentional design to be inclusive of smaller hands. With a 40-hour battery life, take the G705 anywhere and be ready to game. Plus it can pair with the G715 wireless keyboard to use both with only one receiver.
Weighing in at just 85 grams this is a very lightweight mouse, and the RGB ring around the back connects to G Hub to light up your space.

- Size Is Best Suited For Smaller Hands
The Logitech G705 is part of one of the newest lineups from Logitech called the Aurora line. This whole line is designed to be inclusive to all gamers and appeals to people who don't want the traditional black gaming mouse. With its frosted RGB plastic, this will light up your desk but not bombard your eyes with aggressive LEDs.
The G705 is specifically designed for gamers with smaller hands, and it is fantastic to see Logitech branching out of the norms. Not only is the mouse made to be inclusive, but it is also a fantastic mouse. The click latency is amazing, and although the DPI only goes up to 8,200 DPI, movements feel responsive and never lag behind.
Logitech Lift Vertical Ergonomic Mouse
The Lift Vertical Ergonomic mouse was not originally designed for gamers, but the unusual design is both more ergonomic and more ideal for left-handed players. The maximum DPI is just 4,000, but that’s actually better than Logitech’s G300s! Plus, since this mouse was designed for use commercially, the battery life is absolutely insane: 24 months of power with regular use. This charge will likely last less time when paired with an avid gamer, but it was designed to support an 8-hour workday, which is no small task. It looks a bit strange and asks players to use an unusual grip, but this ultimately results in one of the most comfortable mice on the market and has long-term benefits for those who struggle with wrist pain. For left-handed gamers that need a solution for work and play, the Lift Vertical Ergonomic Mouse may be the answer they’ve been waiting for.

With more and more people spending all day at the computer, more ergonomic devices are becoming readily available. Logitech actually offers quite a few ergonomic mouse options, but the Lift Vertical Mouse is the best all-around option for most people. Of course, this mouse won't be able to keep up with the other gaming mice on this list, but for office work or daily computer tasks, this mouse will be a massive help to your wrists.
The mouse makes your wrist fall into more of a natural position, causing less RSI and strain than a traditional mouse that makes your hand lay flat. Coming from a conventional mouse to this one might have a bit of a learning curve, but with a respectable 4,000 DPI, some gamers out there might find this a good option for less competitive games.
Logitech G903 LIGHTSPEED Wireless Gaming Mouse
Logitech’s G903 wireless gaming mouse takes customization to another level. This unique gaming mouse includes an additional weight that can be easily added or removed and, most notably, the G903 can be used as either an ambidextrous mouse or a fully left-handed mouse. Players can handle this mouse through all types of games, but with a max DPI of 25,600, competitive shooters will benefit the most from the G903’s specs. This wireless gaming mouse also has an impressive battery life of up to 180 hours, and when that starts to wane, the charging cord can provide power even while the mouse is still in use.

Whether this mouse is used wireless or wired, gamers will experience a top-tier mouse that houses Logitech's tried-and-true optical sensor that goes up to 12,000 DPI.

How to choose a good Logitech gaming mouse
Wading through all the Logitech mice can be difficult, especially if you're looking for a mouse suitable for an experienced gamer. Luckily, there are a few key things to look for that can help you sort the wheat from the... well, the mice not decent for gaming. Here are the essential questions to ask yourself when choosing the very best Logitech gaming mouse for you:
- Logitech produces a countless number of products, including mice, but not all of them are made for gaming. Is it truly a Logitech gaming mouse?
- Does the mouse have Lightspeed technology?
- If not, does it connect via USB or Bluetooth?
A bit lost or need clarification? That's okay. In the following sections we'll explain each of these questions, how to find the answers to them, and how those answers should affect your buying choices.
Is it really a Logitech gaming mouse?
When we discussed picking the best Logitech gaming headsets, one of the first things that needy to be discussed was simply the vast amount of Logitech headsets available. Their uses ranged from call center headsets with inline mics to cheaper products meant to fill cubicles. There are absolutely amazing Logitech headsets made for gaming. But, given any random headset, you won't necessarily have a gaming headset.
Back in the world of the best Logitech gaming mice, there's good news and bad news here. The good news is that Logitech makes some fantastic, top-tier gaming mice. The bad news? Just like with headsets, Logitech has created a wide variety of mice, with some focusing on average computer usage and mass sales.
To make sure what you're getting is a Logitech mouse fit for gaming look for one or more of the following characteristics:
- It appears on a list of Logitech gaming mice, such as what we've provided above.
- The word "gaming" appears in the mouse's title; Logitech clearly labels mice that are intended for gaming.
- The mouse has a DPI button and/or customizable buttons.
- While not a necessity, Logitech gaming mice often have an RGB Logitech logo on their palm rest.
Once you know what you're looking for, you should be able to distinguish a Logitech gaming mouse from its non-gaming peers in seconds!
Does it have Lightspeed?
Lightspeed is a special Logitech technology that is designed to improve wireless communication. It's a tech you'll find in a growing number of products on this list, as well as within several of the best wireless gaming mice.
So, what is Lightspeed and what does it do? Without getting into too many technical details, Lightspeed technology provides an ~1ms response time. This is enough to compete with the best wired gaming mice. It also provides a superior connection through the usage of a frequency agility mechanism. This is a fancy way to say that Logitech Lightspeed devices "scan" their surroundings, looking for frequencies similar to the ones they emit. When they find something that might interfere with your gaming session, they quickly change frequencies to something else to practically eliminate interference.
All Logitech products with Lightspeed, at least at this point, clearly indicate they are Lightspeed in the product's name.
When all other aspects are equal, Logitech gaming mice with Lightspeed are better than Logitech gaming mice without the tech. That doesn't mean that a mouse with it is automatically expensive, however, as there are budget gaming mice that use Lightspeed.
Does it use USB or Bluetooth?
While Lightspeed, a USB feature, is very exciting there are still tons of Logitech gaming mice that use more traditional connection methods. These usually come in the form of a wired USB connection, direct Bluetooth, or a Logitech dongle.
Logitech gaming mice with wired connectivity will be labeled as wired in their specs. The product image will usually (but not always) show a wire coming out of the front of the mouse. This connection style uses up a USB port and reduces maneuverability of the mouse but is typically cheaper than the equivalent wired mouse would be.
If the Logitech gaming mouse is labeled as wireless, it may either be through a direct Bluetooth connection or via a USB dongle. When the product specs don't mention Bluetooth, the wireless connectivity is likely via a USB dongle. Bluetooth is typically preferred in this situation due to it not taking up a USB slot. That being said, the Logitech's wireless USB dongles are improving with advancements such as Logitech Unifying Software and are great if your custom PC build excluded Bluetooth for some reason.
