Our Verdict

Logitech G305 LIGHTSPEED

Logitech M510

The Logitech G305 LIGHTSPEED is a better overall mouse than the Logitech M510 when it comes to performance, but its low-profile design and egg-shaped body may not be for everyone working in an office. The M510 feels a bit cheaper but is suited for a wider variety of hand sizes and grips. The M510 is more office-oriented, while the G305 is geared towards gaming.
