The mouse is an essential peripheral for us to use computers every day. A comfortable and durable mouse can greatly improve work efficiency and conquer thousands of people in games. As computer peripherals become wireless, more and more wired mice have lost their “tails”. Getting rid of the wire system not only makes the desktop clearer, but also allows for more freedom of use, and has been welcomed by more and more users. Logitech, as a traditional peripheral manufacturer, has also launched a variety of classic and easy-to-use peripherals. The logitech G304 LIGHTSPEED wireless gaming mouse is Logitech’s cost-effective product. It can be used not only for games, but also for daily office work. It can be said to be a All-rounder, let’s take a look at this product together.
The outer packaging box of the Logitech G304 LIGHTSPEED wireless gaming mouse uses a simple and stylish sky blue color. The environmentally friendly packaging also reduces the environmental burden. The characteristics and technical specifications of the mouse are printed around the packaging, allowing people to have an intuitive impression of the G304 wireless mouse at the first time.
USB wireless receiver
In addition to the mouse body, the accessories include a Duracell AA dry battery, USB wireless receiver, extension cord, user instructions, warranty card and a toxic and hazardous substances information sheet. In addition, the mouse uses cushioning packaging, which can provide good protection during transportation.
The free extension cord is a highlight in Luobo’s opinion. In addition to being able to plug into a mouse receiver, if the computer is under the desktop, this extension cord can also be plugged into a USB device such as a USB flash drive, which is more convenient.
This G304 wireless mouse is made of ABS material, and its measurements are 116.6x 62.15x 38.2mm, which is a medium size. The black surface is not only resistant to dirt, but also looks cool. Logitech uses a fine frosting process on the left and right mouse buttons and the back shell, which brings a delicate and comfortable touch. It is anti-fingerprint and easy to care for, and also adds a certain degree of durability. The coefficient of friction can reduce palm slippage during use. It also has a certain degree of anti-sweat and anti-slip properties, so users with sweaty hands are not afraid of scratching the surface of the mouse.
The lightweight symmetrical structure design can meet the needs of left- and right-handed players. The back curve of the mouse is rounded and smooth. Although it does not use lighting effects, it allows users to use the mouse more focused. Viewed from the side, the curve narrows from the middle. The advantage of this design is that in actual experience, users can find support points whether they are grasped or lying down, which brings a comfortable holding experience for a long time.

The main buttons of the Logitech G304 wireless gaming mouse adopt a split design, and the micro-motion uses Omron white dot 7N, and retains the button tension system used on the G PRO. When using it, users can press the left and right mouse buttons through metal springs. It is in the ready-to-click state to reduce the pressing force required for clicking, enhance the consistency of the left and right mouse buttons, and reduce the intensity required for clicking. This can extend the life of the mouse to a certain extent and ensure quick response and long-term stability.
The mouse wheel is made of rubber material, which is light and comfortable when turned, has a strong sense of scale and moderate damping. It will not produce the usual feeling of fat or loose feedback from the mouse wheel, which is in line with Logitech’s consistent rigorous style of mouse.
Behind the scroll wheel are DPI keys and indicator lights. The G304 mouse supports 5-level DPI cycle adjustment. When in use, the working status of the mouse can be judged by the color change of the indicator light. The color of each level is different. In addition, the indicator light will automatically flash when the battery power is less than 15% to remind the user to replace the battery.

It should be noted that although the Logitech G304 LIGHTSPEED wireless gaming mouse has a symmetrical design, its side buttons are placed on the left side of the mouse. For left-handed users, it is not completely symmetrical. Right-handed users can more fully experience all the functional details of this mouse when using the mouse. The G304 side keys have moderate key travel and low pressure. The default function is forward and backward, which is more convenient when browsing the web. Of course, users can also define the required functions in the driver to make the mouse more convenient to use.
The G304 detachable back cover has a built-in receiver and battery compartment. When opening, just push outward along the anti-slip bumps to open. The battery compartment is set in the middle of the mouse. Installing the battery can play a certain counterweight role, so the center of gravity of the mouse will not shift when in use.
G304 bottom cover
The G304 bottom cover and side skirts adopt an integrated design. The bald head is in the center of the bottom. There are six Teflon foot patches. I personally feel that it is a bit much, but the smoothness of use is still acceptable. The power switch adopts a toggle design to turn off the switch when not in use to save power.
G304 uses HERO sensors and has a long battery life. In high-performance mode, one AA dry battery can last for 250 hours of continuous use. In low-performance mode, you can use it for 8 hours a day, which can also reach 9 months of use. If you turn off the power when not in use, the battery life can be greatly extended. Paired with a compact receiver, it is suitable for carrying around and using with a notebook.
In terms of driver, G304 still uses the familiar LGS aggregate driver, which is plug and play. Users can set button functions or adjust mouse performance parameters through the driver to make the mouse more convenient to use.
Driver setting
The driver setting interface is simple and elegant. When the user enters the first interface, the most basic settings of the mouse can be displayed, such as power display, selecting the position priority of the configuration file that the mouse needs to run, etc. The user can click the pointer button on the right to enter the key function setting interface. , there is no difficulty in getting started. For daily office work, you can choose low-power mode, at which time the mouse’s return rate is limited to 125Hz. When gaming, you can enter high-power mode. At this time, the mouse can switch the return rate between 125Hz, 250Hz, 500Hz and 1000Hz to adapt to different types of games.
The six buttons of the Logitech G304 LIGHTSPEED wireless gaming mouse are programmable. After the user enters the button adjustment interface. The adjustable functions are divide into three major sections, namely mouse button function, keyboard key combination function and key macro recording function. These functions are easy to understand at a glance. Users can enter their commonly used functions into the mouse button positions, or record game operation macros to simplify their game operations. These functions can be apply in games and daily office operations, which are convenient and powerful.
Logitech’s HERO engine can achieve 0 straight line correction, which is very practical for players in games. With it, you can position yourself more accurately in the game. Move faster, and reduce frame loss, coupled with Logitech’s mature wireless technology , when used, the zero-latency performance is not inferior to that of a wired mouse.
G304 mouse
In terms of games, I used popular games like Chicken and LOL to test the G304. Under a good network environment, there was basically no delay when the G304 mouse was performing operations such as fast movement in the game. Whether it was aiming or viewing the nearby environment. They all responded so quickly to keep up with my intentions. That sometimes I almost thought I was using a wired mouse.
Needless to say, the G304 performs well in the office. It is position accurately and moves briskly. Couple with its stylish appearance, it will not look out of place when paired with a business computer in the office. Or a thin and light notebook when going out.
As an affordable wireless gaming mouse, the Logitech G304 inherits the appearance of the classic wired G Pro. It adopts an ergonomic shape, comfortable grip, accurate positioning, light movement, and easy portability. It has great potential to become a new generation of wireless gaming mouse.  With LIGHTSPEED technology and HERO sensor and super long battery life, coupled with feature-rich and easy-to-use drivers. G304 can perform as well as mid-to-high-end wired gaming mice in games. It is also more worry-free and labor-saving for office use, and is ideal for those pursuing cost-effectiveness. For gamers and office users, this mouse is worth owning.
