Logitech is one of the oldest and best-known brands in the world, but until relatively recently, their main focus was home and office computer peripherals. Now, nearly a decade since they first launched their G Line, Logitech has a wide variety of gaming mice available.

The G502 lineup is currently one of the best-selling mice on the market, and each variation brings something new to the table. For example, the G502 X Plus has rounded off some of the more angular looks and upgraded the feet so that they slide better. Also, instead of sticking with the mechanical switches like most of Logitech's mice, this mouse has hybrid optical-mechanical switches for left and right clicks. This gives the click incredibly low response times without compromising on the touch experience.

The G502 X Plus has everything a gamer could want in a mouse. Overall it has excellent build quality, and its versatility makes it a great daily driver that has very few weaknesses.

It turns out it is hard to beat Logitech's G502 lineup, seeing as best wireless mouse on this list is the G502 Lightspeed. This mouse offers everything a wired mouse can in a wireless package. For how big the frame is, this mouse is incredibly lightweight as well, weighing in at just 89 grams. Plus, it is compatible with Logitech's PowerPlay wireless charging mouse pads.

With 11 programmable buttons and an incredibly accurate sensor, you will be hard-pressed to find a wireless mouse that offers this much versatility. Unfortunately, due to its bigger size, people with smaller hands might have trouble getting a comfortable grip on this mouse, especially for long gaming sessions.

This is the last G502 mouse on this list, and is also one of the best-known ones. It has certainly been around the longest. 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.

The Hero is a lot heavier than the other G502, but for people that want a little bit more weight, it feels nice in hand. Plus, it comes with 5 removable weights to customize it to your preference. Finally, don't let the wire scare you off. This mouse is a great tool to have on a desk, especially for a macro user.

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.

The Logitech G Pro Wireless is an excellent option for any FPS fan or fans of lightweight mice. Weighing in at 80 grams, this is not the lightest mouse on this list, but it is incredibly light compared to other wireless mice. 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.

The battery on this mouse is rated for 60 hours with no lights on, but it is compatible with Logitech PowerPlay, which will charge the mouse just as it sits on the mousepad. So you cannot go wrong with this mouse, especially if you are looking for a leg up in FPS games.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Logitech G903 might not initially be the most obvious choice for left-handed gamers. However, the side buttons' positions can be changed to best fit the user at the time, so anyone can be accommodated.

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. This is not the most affordable mouse by any means, but if a left-handed user is looking for a fantastic mouse that will last for years to come, the Logitech G903 is a perfect fit. If you are in the market for a left-handed mouse, be sure to check our complete list here.

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.
