The Logitech G705 is a wireless gaming mouse that's part of the Logitech Aurora lineup. As a whole lineup, these products are intended to be more inclusive of gamers who may want a different style than the usual black and aggressive-looking gaming peripherals. Notably, the G705 is designed for use with small hands.

Our Verdict

0.0
Work 

Although not designed for this use, the Logitech G705 is a very good mouse for office use. It feels very comfortable to use thanks to its right-handed shape with a thumb rest, and it feels very well-built. You can connect it with up to two devices at once, one with Bluetooth and one with its USB receiver. Unfortunately, its scroll wheel doesn't unlock for free scrolling, and the scroll wheel doesn't have L/R tilt inputs.

Pros
  • Excellent build quality.
  • Internal storage for USB receiver.
  • Feels comfortable to use.
  • Can connect with both Bluetooth and USB receiver.
Cons
  • Scroll wheel doesn't have a free scrolling mode or L/R tilt inputs.
  • Size is best suited for small or medium hands.

Video Games (FPS) 

The Logitech G705 is an amazing mouse for FPS games. It feels well-built and comfortable to use thanks to its ergonomic, right-handed shape. Performance-wise, it offers great CPI customization that's accurate and consistent, and it has outstanding click latency, so games feel responsive. As its a wireless mouse, you don't have to worry about a cable causing drag, and its feet glide smoothly on mousepads and desks. Unfortunately, if you have hands on the larger side, you're limited to using this mouse with a fingertip grip as the mouse is best suited for smaller sized hands.

Pros
  • Excellent build quality.
  • Outstanding click latency.
  • Internal storage for USB receiver.
  • Feels comfortable to use.
Cons
  • Size is best suited for small or medium hands.

Video Games (MMO) 

The Logitech G705 is a great mouse for MMO gaming, though it isn't designed for this use. It has outstanding click latency, so games feel responsive, and its CPI range and accuracy are also excellent. Overall, it feels well-built and comfortable, and you can easily make adjustments using the companion software, which is available on both Windows and macOS. Unfortunately, it doesn't have nearly as many inputs as dedicated MMO mice, and it's best-suited for small or medium-sized hands.

Pros
  • Excellent build quality.
  • Outstanding click latency.
  • Internal storage for USB receiver.
  • Feels comfortable to use.
Cons
  • Size is best suited for small or medium hands.
  • Not as many programmable inputs as dedicated MMO mice.

    Popular Mouse Comparisons

    The Logitech G705 is a wireless gaming mouse designed for use with smaller hands. As it's part of Logitech's Aurora lineup, it's targeted toward a niche of gamers that don't want an aggressive "gamer aesthetic" consisting of sharp angles and black plastic materials. Instead, this mouse has a soft pastel aesthetic with frosted plastic accents, so the RGB backlighting also looks softer. The most notable aspect of this mouse is its small size. While many smaller mice are designed for travel and have a symmetrical shape, this mouse has an ergonomic, right-handed shape and is intended primarily as a gaming mouse, though its size and ability to store the USB receiver lend themselves nicely for travel.

    Logitech G305 LIGHTSPEED

    Track

    The Logitech G305 LIGHTSPEED is a wireless gaming mouse with an egg-like shape that's best suited for a fingertip grip with any hand size, while the Logitech G705's shape is better suited for right-handed users with smaller hands. Since the G705 is a more premium mouse, it has more features such as Bluetooth connectivity, a rechargeable battery, RGB lighting, and better quality feet. That said, performance-wise, both mice perform similarly well.

    Logitech G703 LIGHTSPEED with HERO Sensor

    Track

    The Logitech G703 LIGHTSPEED with HERO Sensor and the Logitech G705 are both wireless gaming mice, but they have some notable differences. The G705 is a fairly small mouse, so it's best suited for smaller hands, while the G703 is a larger and bulkier mouse that small hands may find too large in certain grip types. Also, the G705 offers Bluetooth connectivity, better feet, and more RGB zones, as it's a more premium mouse than the G703.

    Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT

    Track

    The Logitech G705 is a right-handed wireless gaming mouse designed for use with small hands, while the Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT is a symmetrical wireless gaming mouse designed for use with a wide range of hand sizes and grip types. The G PRO X SUPERLIGHT offers one of the best sensors currently on the market, so it performs remarkably well for gaming. The G705 is also an incredible gaming mouse, and it offers a more stylized aesthetic with pastel accents and RGB backlighting.

    GLORIOUS Model D- Wireless

    Track

    The GLORIOUS Model D- Wireless and the Logitech G705 are both right-handed wireless gaming mice designed for small hands, but they have some notable differences. The GLORIOUS has honeycomb cutouts on its body to further reduce the weight and a fairly aggressive gamer aesthetic. On the other hand, the Logitech falls squarely at a decent weight as it isn't ultra-light or very heavy, and its aesthetic consists of much softer edges with a pastel color scheme.
