Everyone's favorite egg-shaped rodent might be getting the Superlight treatment, meaning Logitech could once again snatch the budget gaming mouse crown
Only recently did we swap out the internet's most beloved egg-shaped mouse, the Logitech G305, as our pick for the best budget wireless gaming mouse, with the Mchose G3 V2 Pro. Although the G3 V2 Pro shares the same eggy shape—it's a G305 'clone'—the Logi mouse is simply a little dated compared to the G3 V2 Pro which is much lighter and has a better sensor. But now Logi could strike back to steal the crown once again.
That's because, if some packaging that was recently leaked on a Korean forum is legit—and it seems so to my ageing eyes, at least—then it looks like there exists a Logitech G305 X Superlight (via r/MouseReview subreddit). Hopefully coming soon to the Western market, too? We'll see.

The 'Superlight' designator, of course, means that the weight is shaved down, and here it looks like—one moment,'computer, enhance'—nope, I still can't see what weight that says on the packaging. But hold up, a Facebook Marketplace listing (also via r/MouseReview subreddit) seems to list the weight at 59 g, which does look like what I see on the packaging if I squint very hard. That would make sense, as it would weigh roughly the same as the Superlight 2 and Superstrike.
It also seems the new G305 will receive an upgraded 44,000 DPI sensor, which is a far cry from the 12,000 max DPI sensor of the original. And it's even faster than the 26,000 DPI PAW 3395 sensor in the Mchose G3 V2 Pro.
To be clear, though, much will still depend on pricing. What made our original eggy friend so appealing was its price, and the same goes for the Mchose clone, the 26K DPI Pro version of which you can pick up for $40.
Logitech also recently launched a G304 X, which seems to essentially be a lightweight G305 just like this new Superlight, but that one seems to only be for the Chinese market. It also has a 25,600 DPI HERO 25K sensor, so more in line with the Mchose mouse.
If Logi releases this G305 X Superlight and can actually keep its price tag low, we might have a new budget gaming mouse in town. It does all depend on that price tag, though, as that's what makes any G305 or G305 clone so appealing in the face of more premium and less egg-shaped competition.
