Logitech M170 Blue Grey
Score: 79/100Rankings
The Logitech M170 is a budget-friendly, ambidextrous wireless mouse with solid connectivity and a long-lasting AA battery. Its lightweight, compact form makes it ideal for portable use, though the fixed 1000 dpi sensor and lack of silent clicks limit its appeal for power users.
The Logitech G305 LIGHTSPEED is a budget-friendly gaming mouse delivering a high-end HERO 12K sensor, lag-free wireless performance, and impressive battery life in a lightweight ambidextrous shell. Its lack of RGB, small ergonomics, and absence of Bluetooth keep it focused on performance rather than premium features.
