Verdict

The Logitech G309 LIGHTSPEED is a versatile, mid-range wireless gaming mouse featuring the high-precision HERO 25K sensor with a resolution up to 25,600 DPI, 400 IPS max speed, and 40G acceleration. It utilizes LIGHTFORCE hybrid optical-mechanical switches for rapid response and features 6 programmable buttons, dual-mode connectivity via low-latency LIGHTSPEED wireless or Bluetooth, and weighs 86g with a single AA battery (which can be reduced to 68g when used with the optional POWERPLAY wireless charging system). Its main pros include an exceptional battery life of over 300 hours on LIGHTSPEED (up to 600+ on Bluetooth), reliable tracking, and multi-device pairing. However, it lacks RGB lighting, does not support a wired connection or internal USB charging, and the scroll wheel does not offer a free-spin mode.
