Verdict

The Logitech G705 is a compact, wireless gaming mouse from the Aurora Collection, specifically designed with a contoured shape for smaller hands. It weighs 85g and features a gaming-grade optical sensor with an adjustable resolution from 100 to 8,200 DPI, six programmable buttons, and a 1,000 Hz polling rate. Key characteristics include dual-mode connectivity via low-latency LIGHTSPEED wireless or Bluetooth and three-zone LIGHTSYNC RGB lighting. Main pros are its excellent ergonomic comfort for small-handed users, versatile connectivity, and reliable build quality; however, it has a relatively short battery life of approximately 40 hours with RGB enabled, a lower maximum DPI compared to flagship models, and a size that is uncomfortable for those with larger hands.
