Note: price and availability are subject to change without prior notice
Logitech G305 Lightspeed is now in stock at Mascom International for KSh 6,500, built around the HERO optical sensor with a 200 to 12,000 DPI range, a 1 ms report rate over Logitech's 2.4 GHz wireless link, and up to 250 hours of gameplay from a single AA battery. The Logitech G305 Lightspeed weighs 99 grams with the battery fitted and 75 grams without it. Six programmable buttons, a hardware DPI switch, and a nano receiver that stores inside the shell round out the package. Buy the Logitech G305 Lightspeed at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Built for competitive PC players across Kenya who cannot justify KSh 15,000 or more on a wireless mouse but refuse to accept cable drag. Most gamers in Nairobi cyber cafes and home setups face the same problem: cheap wireless mice add lag you can feel, while cable-tethered mice snag on desk edges during fast flicks. The Logitech G305 Lightspeed solves both. Its 1 ms report rate matches wired mice, and the HERO sensor tracks at 400 inches per second with zero smoothing. CS2, Valorant, Apex Legends, and FIFA players get identical response from a mouse that also travels in a laptop bag.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya selling unbranded wireless mice with unknown sensors, Mascom International stocks the Logitech G305 Lightspeed with published specifications you can verify on Logitech's own support pages. Users consistently report the AA battery lasting three to four months of daily play in Performance mode, and up to nine months in Endurance mode. Main buttons are rated for 10 million clicks. Visit our Kimathi Street store to test the shape and click feel before you buy, or order for pay-on-arrival delivery to any of Kenya's 47 counties.
Frequently Asked Questions About the Logitech G305 Lightspeed
Is the Logitech G305 Lightspeed actually as fast as a wired mouse?
Yes. The Logitech G305 Lightspeed reports your movement every 1 millisecond over a dedicated 2.4 GHz radio link, which is the same 1000 Hz polling rate most wired gaming mice use. This is not Bluetooth. The USB nano receiver plugs into your PC and holds its own channel, so it does not fight your Wi-Fi router for airtime. In blind testing, players cannot separate it from a cabled mouse. Competitive Valorant and CS2 players in Kenya use it in ranked matches without complaint.
How long does the Logitech G305 Lightspeed battery actually last?
Roughly 250 hours of non-stop gaming on one AA alkaline battery in Performance mode. If you play three hours a day, that works out to about 12 weeks per battery. Switching to Endurance mode through Logitech G HUB software drops the report rate to 8 ms and stretches a single AA up to nine months, which suits office work and casual play. An indicator light flashes red at 15 percent remaining, so you get warning before it dies mid-match. Any AA battery from a Nairobi supermarket works.
Does the Logitech G305 Lightspeed work without installing software?
Yes. Plug the nano receiver into a USB port and the Logitech G305 Lightspeed works immediately on Windows, macOS 10.13 or later, and ChromeOS. The DPI button under the scroll wheel cycles through preset sensitivity steps without any download. Logitech G HUB is optional and only needed if you want to remap the six buttons, set custom DPI values, or switch to Endurance mode. That matters in Kenya, where a full G HUB download over Safaricom or Airtel data is a one-time cost rather than a requirement.
Why choose the Logitech G305 Lightspeed over the Logitech G304?
They are the same mouse. Logitech sells the G305 name in most markets and the G304 name in others, with identical HERO sensor, identical 1 ms link, and identical 99-gram weight. Mascom International stocks the Logitech G305 Lightspeed. Against the wired G203 at a lower price, you pay the difference for cable-free movement and battery flexibility. Against the Razer Viper V3 HyperSpeed at roughly double the price, the G305 gives you the same practical latency for KSh 6,500.
Who should buy the Logitech G305 Lightspeed in Kenya?
Competitive shooter players, university students at Strathmore, USIU, and JKUAT who game between classes, and software developers who want one mouse for work and play. It suits palm and claw grips on small to medium hands, since the shell measures 116.6 mm long by 62.15 mm wide by 38.2 mm tall. Content creators editing in Premiere Pro also pick it for the free-scrolling wheel and side buttons. It is right-handed only, so left-handed players should look elsewhere.
Does the Logitech G305 Lightspeed have RGB lighting?
No. The Logitech G305 Lightspeed carries a single status LED and no RGB. That is deliberate: lighting is the biggest battery drain on wireless mice, and removing it is how Logitech reaches 250 hours from one AA. If you want colour on your desk, pair it with a Logitech G213 or G413 keyboard, both stocked at Mascom International. Players who game late into the night in Kilimani and Ruaka flats often prefer the dark shell anyway.
How accurate is the HERO sensor for fast flick shots?
The HERO sensor tracks up to 400 inches per second and 40 G of acceleration with no smoothing, filtering, or built-in acceleration. In practice, that means the fastest flick your arm can physically make will still register 1:1 on screen. DPI runs from 200 to 12,000 in fine steps. Most competitive players sit between 400 and 1,600 DPI. Users report zero cursor drift and no spin-out even on cheap cloth mousepads, which matters when a Logitech G240 pad is not in the budget.
What is the wireless range and will it work on a shared desk?
Up to 10 metres. That is far more than any desk needs, and the extra headroom means the Logitech G305 Lightspeed stays stable in crowded cyber cafes and offices where a dozen wireless devices compete on 2.4 GHz. The receiver clips into a storage slot inside the mouse under the battery door, so it does not get lost in transit. If you plug the receiver into a rear USB port on a metal tower, use a front port or a short USB extension instead.
Is the Logitech G305 Lightspeed worth KSh 6,500 in Kenya's market?
Yes, for anyone who games more than a few hours a week. At Mascom International, we're seeing generic wireless mice sell for KSh 2,000 to KSh 3,500 with unnamed sensors, 125 Hz polling, and no warranty backing. The Logitech G305 Lightspeed costs roughly double those and gives you a documented HERO sensor, a 1 ms link, 10-million-click button ratings, and a 6-month Mascom International warranty. Spread over two years of play, the difference works out to about KSh 8 per week.
