Logitech G304 LIGHTSPEED

Logitech G304 LIGHTSPEED Wireless Gaming Mouse — India Review 2026

The G304 is the mouse I recommend to almost every budget gamer in India asking about wireless options. At ₹2,600–3,000, it sits at a price point where the competition is mostly garbage, and Logitech has somehow shipped a mouse with their HERO sensor and LIGHTSPEED wireless at a cost that still feels slightly unreal in 2026.

How It Actually Performs

The HERO 12K sensor is what makes this mouse. It tracks up to 12,000 DPI, runs at 400 IPS, and — critically — does all of this at extremely low power consumption, which is why battery life is so absurd. In real use, playing CS2 or Valorant at 800 DPI, I've gone eight to nine weeks on a single Duracell AA before the low-battery indicator kicked in.

LIGHTSPEED runs at 1ms report rate over 2.4GHz. I've used this mouse on three different builds and never once had a dropout or latency spike I could attribute to the wireless connection. The USB dongle is small, stores in the battery compartment during travel, and works reliably even in the RF-noisy environment of a college hostel room with a dozen phones and routers nearby.

The click feel is the one area where the G304 shows its budget roots. The primary buttons are decent — not mushy, but not crisp like a Razer optical switch or a TTC Gold. The scroll wheel is light with shallow notches, which I personally like for productivity but some competitive players find imprecise. The side buttons are usable but placed slightly awkwardly for smaller hands.

Build quality is all plastic, and the top shell flexes slightly if you grip hard. The mouse weighs 99g with battery, which is fine but not impressive by 2026 standards. No RGB, which I consider a feature — it's one less thing draining the battery and one less reason to install Logitech G HUB, software I'd rather avoid.

India Pricing and Availability

In June 2026, the G304 retails between ₹2,600 and ₹3,000 depending on where you buy it. Amazon India and Flipkart both stock it regularly, and the price drops noticeably during sale events — I've seen it dip to ₹2,200 during the Amazon Great Indian Festival. MDComputers and PrimeABGB carry it too, usually at ₹2,700–2,800.

One thing worth knowing: Logitech distributes through Rashi Peripherals in India, which means warranty claims are generally handled smoothly. The 2-year warranty has been honoured without drama in my experience and from what I've seen in Indian Discord communities — no "this void if used in India" nonsense.

The USB dongle/AA battery model means zero charging cables, no charging anxiety, and full compatibility with power cuts. That last point matters more than people admit — in tier-2 cities where power cuts are still common, not having a mouse that needs charging is a genuine practical advantage.

GST at 18% is already baked into all the prices above. Import duty on peripherals has pushed Logitech's premium lineup higher over the years, but the G304's price has remained relatively stable — it's been manufactured with cost in mind from the start.

Who Should Buy the G304

Buy this if you're a student or early-career gamer who wants wireless without compromise. The sensor is genuinely competitive at any price, the wireless implementation is Logitech's best-in-class, and you'll spend more time gaming and less time charging. It also works fine for office use — plug the dongle into your work machine and you have a capable productivity mouse.

It pairs well with budget builds using B650 or B760 motherboards. See /builds/T03 for a ₹40,000 gaming build where the G304 fits naturally, or /builds/T01 for entry-level options.

Who Should Skip It

Skip the G304 if you have large hands. The mouse tops out at around 116mm long, which puts it in medium-small territory. If your hand length is above 19cm and you use palm grip, you'll feel cramped within an hour. Also skip it if you need onboard memory for DPI profiles — there's none. Every time you reconnect the dongle, you start at whatever DPI the HERO sensor remembers via firmware, but you can't store multiple profiles on the mouse itself without G HUB running.

If you game on a 4K display and need precise low-DPI tracking for large mousepad sweeps, the 12K cap is fine, but honestly at that point look at the Razer DeathAdder Essential if you want wired reliability, or save more for a Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2.
