Our Verdict

Logitech G305 LIGHTSPEED

DELUX M700

The Logitech G305 LIGHTSPEED is a wireless gaming mouse, while the DELUX M700 is a wired ultra-light gaming mouse. The DELUX is lighter and has smoother-gliding mouse feet. It also has a much wider CPI range. However, its click latency is disappointingly high, which may be a deal-breaker for some gamers. On the other hand, the Logitech feels significantly more responsive and has a lower minimum lift-off distance, so the sensor shouldn't track your movements when you reposition your mouse. Also, its customization software is available on both Windows and macOS, while the software for the DELUX is only compatible with Windows.
