6.6/10verdict: buy

The G305 is for people who want a small, symmetrical wireless mouse with a fast sensor and very long battery life. It suits gamers and desk users who connect through a USB receiver and don't need Bluetooth. Buyers who want a light mouse or a rechargeable battery should look at the weight and AA notes first.

6.0/10verdict: good, not the best

This is a quiet, no-fuss wireless mouse for anyone who wants clicks that don't disturb a shared or quiet room. It suits office desks, laptop bags and general desktop use where a USB receiver and one AA battery are fine. It doesn't suit buyers who want Bluetooth, multi-device switching or a rechargeable battery.
