lets go! was excited to watch after seeing the sneak peak from discord :)
😄
Btw felt like you are actually sharing my experiences... Except double click issue, 70% was exactly what I felt.. you are relatable man.. ❤️❤️
Hehe cool 😄
I've had G305 for almost exactly a year, with no issues. The form factor is a bit small, but the price was right and so I got three of them (two for my kids and one for me). Last Thursday the double-click issue started happening on my mouse, while I was working and it got to a ridiculous point today (I'll need to check my kids' mice now that I think about it). Contacted Logitech support and after a lengthy troubleshooting session, which I've already done anyways, they're sending me a replacement (I was actually watching this video, while waiting for them to process the request, heh). They just asked for the serial number, so that was convenient, since there's no way I'd keep a mouse receipt for this long. Hopefully I won't have the same issue with the replacement after a year, but we'll see. This is new for me, since I've never had issues with Logitech hardware before.
Their QA is deteriorating. But their service has been decent.
i got mine nov 23 2022 and it started double clicking in the last 2 days
@@Damian-ub4fc It's like clockwork on these... one year and it's breaking.
@@_B_K_I've had 2 and both of them double clicked, the first one double clicked after 1 year but I managed to fix it, exactly one year later, it double clicked again but this time I nicked the cable. So I bought a 2nd hand one from my friend who has been using it for 2 years with no double clicking, less than 1 year later, it double clicked. I am never buying this mouse again, Imma stick to the orochi v2 from now on
@@jeanclaudethedarklord6205 Yeah, that's what I ended buying for one of my kids in November. Orochi v2 seems like a good mouse so far, but time will tell.
You deserve more subscribers ❤
Nice video 👍🏻
Thanks!
I got this mouse in late 2019. It started showing double click issues in mid 2021. It got so bad that almost every click was a double click, so I got a replacement under warranty from their service center. However, to my surprise they told me that the replacement mouse will not extended warranty period even though it is a new one. So basically I had only around 3 months of warranty for the replacement.
Now the replacement mouse also has started double clicking randomly for past couple of months. I believe it will get worse as time progresses. And I am just a very casual gamer. I play for like couple of hours on weekends and during weekdays I don't even touch the mouse. It stays protected from dust.
I really liked this mouse. I initially thought maybe I was not careful with my first mouse and maybe that it why it is double clicking, but when the replacement one also started to show the same issue, I have to now believe that it is a common issue. I would not recommend anyone to buy this mouse. It is a really good mouse but it is not worth it if it just becomes an annoyance later on. There are already so many problems in life so why should anyone pay money to get more problems.
Hahahaha the last line is so true xD
bought used g304 on early 2021 with a half price on it. Came to me with a good condition, better than I thought before. Later in mid 2022, I've changed the switches by myself to kailh silent because the default switches was so loud. Until now, kailh silent didnt dissappointed me and recently changed the battery to AAA battery. So much enjoyed this mouse with just endurance mode, and I always forgot when the last time I changed the battery :D
That's brilliant!
How did you change the switches? Did you desolder them yourself?
@@HiveMynd I did. Didn't that hard tho. The hardest one on dpi button, tried much and still cant desolder it. So I left it alone with stock switch coz I dnt wanna broke my mouse
Been using mine for about 2 years now and still works like brand new, never experience the double click issue. I bought a custom comb back plate a year ago so it kinda feels different than normal. Anyway still love my g304.
From where did you buy the plate?
@@infamousftw9013 I bought mine from Lazada(Here in the Philippines)
Got double click on the left click button after 3 years of use. The side button double clicks after 1 year. Scroll mouse got stuck every 6 months, but some cleaning will fix it. Overall, it's worth it for the price.
What your view on hp pavillion x360 i5 11gen 16gb Ram 512gb storage should I buy or not and then your answer is not then which I should buy ,give me some same specifications laptop but in 75k 🙏🙏
Had bought one back in December 2018, unit developed double click issues in April 2020. Logitech's RMA is good, got a replacement unit within a week.
That being said, one can also use the mouse as a macro keypad by using the GHub software. :P
Haha true.
Mine was having rare double click issues lately. So was confused whether to buy a new mouse or not.
Smashing the mouse on the floor with full power fixed it for me. Getting a new one.
Lmaoooooo
your sense of humour and those little jokes in between fr sold me the mouse, logitech should pay u some commission.
Haha thanks!
I am unable to change the power mode in my mouse, it's greyed out. Can someone help?
woo superimposing the palm over actual mose was awesome way.. no more explanation required.. thanks .. wow 64 GB RAM.. uneven weight distribution on the body.. 😄.. awesome bro.. fun review
Thanks!
Have been using logtech mouse since the g602 came out, i rma-ed that mouse once in its 2 year cycle and it broke again then i bought another g602 and used it for another two years with 1 rma in between. Then i 'upgraded' to the G603 with lesser buttons, did not show any issue during next 2 years that i was using it. Then i figured that g604 was the successor for g602 then i bought that as a replacement. I rma-ed that last july as it was double clicking and now i gonna rma it again in this june as it showing the double clicking issues as well....
I took out my g603 recently for my work then out of a suddenly double click, triple clicking on all the button wow....
love logitech form factor hate the reliability of it but still cant let go of it. what a love-hate relationship.
I live in a very humid country which is in Singapore, maybe that's the reason why that it broke almost every year.
TDLR:
Bought 4 logitech mice, RMA 4 times in 8 years , double clicked issue appeared yearly, Fun fact: Average 1 mice used per year. :)
Haha this was really interesting as I can relate to it to some extent 😄
I'm using logitech G305 for already 2 years and 6 months, the best mouse I have used. Recently right click started to double or triple click. I have a temporary fix for this. I lift the right click little bit up and blow air after that it is ok for few days.
You got a good piece. Mine has been already RMA'd twice in 14 months.
@@MrMuBot Damn, hopefully in next models they fix this.
dude wtf you just stopped me from buying a new mouse
@@MrMuBot wow, did you really RMA twice in single invoice? how it possible?
@@banija8147 Why isn't it possible? I've RMA'd a couple of mice thrice even.
I like this for my mobile gaming but would like a 2nd as multi connect for Bluetooth Wireless & USB -C wired (if so) What is the upgrade? I want a gaming version of my Logitech MX Anywhere 3.
This only connects to its dongle.
This mouse is nice. Its narrowing downward shape made me comfortable to grasp it.
Personally I prefer wired mice but this Logitech G304 is quite good. Logitech should really do something about their double clicking issues though tbh
They gain natural respect from me for that 2 years warranty period. If it was a year then my conclusion would've changed about it.
Nice Review brother!!
Thanks!
I will go for a mid range steelseries/razer mouse anyday over logitech as my experience with them was incredible. the last steelseries mouse I had, ran without any problems for around 7-8 years and it still works but I am using a steelseries rival 3 recently.
Woaaah!
@@MrMuBot thanks for recognizing my comment.
Don't mention it.
We cant compare to old product since old product was made for durability while new product focus on comfort and accuracy.
Why can’t we have both?
mine was double clicking after half a year but it suddenly disappeared. it's been working fine now for 2 years.
Great.
Hmm, now I think I overspent on the G502 ! TBH, I barely use the potential of that mouse.
Yeah one needs a bit of getting used to and planning with that many buttons on a mouse. Many moba players mostly make good use of such mice.
502 is center weight distributed, while 304/5 is back heavy, if im not mistaken, 502 comes with extra weight or weight shift function. Sorry for my memory, long time since my friend told these and i even checked over internet.
Do you know what can I do if the usb receiver stopped working or should I just get a new one?
Yeah you'd need a new one.
Been using the G304 for a little over an year now, and I haven't faced double click issue. Though initially, I had some problems with the mouse not registering the clicks (kinda uncommon), but now it works fine.
About the battery life, it depends on what cells you use too. The Duracell ones last for 3 months, I used to get Panasonic ones and they'd last me exactly 1 month, no more, no less.
Ah good to know.
Duracell ones are more heavy too isn't it? I believe it's like 1.5 times as much heavy as usual cells
@@adityadivine9750 Yes, depending upon the capacity the weight is more. Currently using 2,500 mAh cells from Duracell, they're a bit heavy (but you can get used to it).
its bound to happen.. I have used 3 logitech mouse - G403 hyperion twice and G304 wireless and I faced the left double click issue in all the three mouse approximately after 1 year but the service center for replacement happens to be near my office in Bangalore so I had all the 3 mouse replaced all between the span of 5 years at different times. Hope that u face the issue before 2 years so that u can get it replaced within warranty. Peace
Any other suggestions under 2k a good mice for large hands and I don't want to go to service centre as it's 200km far from my location (Logitech specially) 💀..... And i like your style
Sadly most mice will give you a problem eventually in this budget. Check razer viper.
Also I think Logitech takes shipping RMA now. Check with their support team.
@@MrMuBot ok so 203 is a good option?
@@MrMuBot too costly dude it's 4k not worth for a normal man
How did you get it to work with G-Hub? I just got mine and it's not showing up in G-Hub. I went to Logitech's website and came up empty as well.
a few hours later: Actually... Nevermind I found out it's a fake.... no wonder it was so cheap....
oh damn. This sucks.
when i switch between endurance and high performance mode. I can feel the dpi change while dpi unchanged. Does it happen normally?
Yes. Endurance mode reduces the polling rate drastically.
@@MrMuBot it's like in endurance mode i feel right increase in dpi as compared to high performance mode while actually dpi value shows same on screen
Yeah I know what you mean.
Thanks. I'm rating this review 10/10
Hey there! I know this is irrelevant but how is Iqoo Z5 for long term usage(Maybe like 2-3 or 3-4 years?). Also is there any lag in gaming? Thanks!
Didn't face any lag for the 2 hours I played on it for the review. The phone will be good for 2-3 years. So far it's behaving as smooth as the first day.
@@MrMuBot Thanks!
dude, my SteelSeries rival 100 lasted me for well over 6 years. bout this mouse yesterday. hopefully it would last more than 2years that is covered in its warranty period.
They don't make them like that anymore.
any updates on your mouse?
@@ajvicente505 less than a year, still ok. just replaced the battery that came with the mouse.
And me, that just just changed my 10 years old wireless hp mouse that still worked perfectly and no shinny spots and printed logos still good, now worried that this new g305 will fail so quickly (hopefully not).
Sucks how most products this days come with an expiration date from the day they’re designed.
Yeah it's pretty sad now.
So how is it after 6 month(since this comment) have you developed it yet?
@@kiriyama_uwu Still working great 👍
mine double clicks after 5 years, ordered $5 part with connector, no need for soldering
i have used the G305 for a year and a half now. the default switches stopped working and i needed to replace them with a new switch
Ah that sucks.
Thanks, fixed my double click issue just by banging it hard!
Hello is the mouse rechargeable? Just like a smartphone?
No. It takes an AA battery inside.
Amazing hai bro. 🤟
Thanks bro!
i got it for 2000 only, nice review
la calidad con la que has hecho el vídeo es genial
Thanks!
@@MrMuBot
It is a great wireless mouse and works perfectly for competitive games and offline games in the given budget. But after 11 months of use it suddenly stopped working in middle of the game 😢. Getting it replaced now under warranty.
Yeah same old story from everyone. Sigh.
Double clicking is very common and self-solvable problem. It requires to open mouse, reach the switches and take out the switch of defective button, fix it by straightening them, reassemble.
Initially it might look impossible, but with help of videos over youtube, it is possible .
I had been repairing my g300, g300s, g402 many times.
Yup I know it's feasible. And other option is to replace the faulty switch too. But I believe not many will be willing to do that. But solutions like these exist.
@@MrMuBot Its a headache for sure, i purchased new mouse because of that.
Time consuming self repairing process. I fixed myself few times because of enthusiasm, then gave up.
I believe those switches are very old design for 2022. Almost 10+ yesrs old design, might not be used in new mouses anymore, need to check.
Your review looked like the mouse is being used daily, otherwise other channels have brand new looking products, yet claiming long term reviews.
True, self repairing is a time consuming stuff. Sometimes one has to weigh in, if investing time in repairing is worth more than buying something new. And yeah, it's my primary mouse.
@@MrMuBot I don't know why but I get a weird joy from self repairing elextronics.
Is there any indicator for battery life?
yes
Ive been using it for 1 year too but then now its a total waste because the reciever has spoiled. & i am not finding usb recievers for the mouse anywhere
You can't find it.
had to change the switch coz my 1 of 2 clicks are double click and i can’t long press the buttons
Yeah these tend to get bad overtime.
G 304 OR G102 WHICH 1 TO BUY?
G304
ive had my g305 for 8 months and it wont stop double clicking lately. its super frustrating
Sigh. Get it replaced.
6:50 GENIUS
I'm watching this to buy the mouse because my old basic mouse got the double clicking issue,
but that bumping it hard on the surface (6:52), does fix the double clicking for my old mouse LOL
Haha
The double click started happening to me as well. It's so annoying when your IDE editor starts to select code randomly. I loved this mouse, but now, after only a year, it's going into trash. Logitech, you disappointed me. 😞
If it's under 2 years then you can get it RMA'd.
My right click starts to double click after 3 months. I will just replace it with kailh switch
Yeah wise call.
I am using this mouse for almost 1.5years... clean mouse regularly so the mouse doesn't get shiny that quickly... Haven't seen the double click issue... Also, don't use Logitech software since I switch between office MacBook and personal pc quite a some time in a day, and cannot install these apps on office system without company approvals.. it works fine with 4 default dpi modes...
I love this mice so much that ready to buy the out of warranty mouse with double click issue just to practice mod... 😜😜
Haha. Yeah that's a good idea.
7:46 🤣 Violence
XD
I start play valorant with this mouse 304 I'm platinum and still growing..
my fucking g305 hero sensor keeps stopping / polling rate drops to zero every now and then, the clicking still works anyone has any idea
just bought it a month ago
Just try and get it replaced if it's sill in warranty.
nah. Having used it I can vouch that I will never buy a logitech product ever again. the sheer amount of frustration this mouse has caused me is unimaginable
The mouse started double clicking not even 6 months in from a new purchase. It was impossible to draw or drag anything with the left click. even playing games was unbearable since it would double click when holding down left click thus canceling your hold. The first G304 I had even started to not register my clicks and it felt the mouse had insane levels of delay on the clicks.
Fast forward to me getting a warranty claim and a new g304. Would you look at that the same thing is happening again 6-7 months later and this time i was very conscious not to overly use the left click like a maniac in any games(e.g minecraft).
At this pricepoint i'd suggest getting a viper mini or the new cobra. It's wired but performs way better and supposedly doesn't show this godforsaken behaviour.
for people who are stuck with this mouse and the double clicking issue. Know that there is a way around the issue I found. Install logitech g hub and bind your primary click to your dpi button. It's not perfect but it works.
My mouse quadruple click I got in November 2021
Must still be in warranty. Get it RMA'd.
Can u tell us what's the difference between 304 and 305
They are the same.
I've never had a mouse that hasn't eventually developed a double clicking issue. I think it's just an issue that all mouse are prone to have no matter the brand.
That's almost completely true. But there are a few exceptions to that. But I rarely spend that much on a mouse.
All three of my most recent Logitech mice (mouses?) had the double click / click and drag issues fairly early their lives, within the one year mark. These are the G305, G502, and the the older G300s. What each of these had in common were that their primary left and right buttons used the Chinese Omron switches. Thankfully, it's not that difficult the desolder and replace them with something like the Japanese Omron or Kailh 8.0 switches. I stick with Logitech because they provide "portable" versions of their software that allow things like firmware updates, and editing the onboard profiles without having to run G-Hub, and their sensors are good. Razer makes some nice mice (mouses?) too, but Razer Synapse software is horrible, so I avoid their peripherals due to that fact alone. Anyway, nice video. The only thing I'd add to it, if you ever revisit a Logitech mouse, is that you could mention that replacing the crappy Chinese Omron switches is an option for those who might be out of warranty.
Thanks. Yes I'll try to add that next time :)
where can i get new omron switches? two switches on ebay cost $12 plus postage. you can buy a new mouse for that money.
@@guguigugu They're a little cheaper through Ali Express, if you don't mind the longer shipping times.
Had mine for about 8 months and it started double clicking.
crap
Whats the difference between g304 wireless and g305 wireless?
Just the colour mainly
G402 still running great after 5 years
This piece should get an award.
Dont have double click but double up-scroll before scrolling down issue. Not buying Logitech again, only 3 months old -.-
You know what? I faced it afterwards. Which I shared in another video.
best mouse i had and now its broke and it makes me cry caus i want this mouse again but now i have to pay for it again ;_; doesnt even feel good to buy sth u already have :/
Haha true.
1:30 thats what she said 😭
Lmao
got double click issue after a year
It's crap
Wow 3 months on high performance wirelessly. I always thought we need to refill every two-three weeks. My whole life was a lie.
Hahaha
Get the adapter mentioned in video or just crumple aluminium foil, and use it with energizer lithium battery... Even lower weight and works easily for 5months...
@@Abhizit I'm still into wired mouse haha
my G102 developed a doubleclick problem within two years, its very annoying. i have a 12 year old Genius mouse that is still good. my cousin has a 20 year old PS/2 mouse that is still good. we should not accept this planned obsolescence, technology is supposed to advance, not become worse.
I totally agree. You're lucky if it died within 2 years and not after just a few months of use.
mine its double clicking randomly :(
RMA time if it's in warranty.
@@MrMuBot out of warranty its more than 2 years sadly... sigh
😔
Logitech mouse quality has gone down
That's why I switch to Corsair (harpoon) and SteelSeries (rival 100 when it was less than Rs. 3000). Both mouse are going strong after more than 4 years
when I hear your accent it's like someone is hitting me in the head with a sledgehammer
Hope the sledgehammer worked then.
Logitech g304 g304 alga alag hai bro ek hai Amazon me alag alag price bata raha hai g304 g304

Hi does this work well on Xbox series x with no noticeable delay?
Not sure of that.
yep, it still useless they need to improve their switches quality.. imagine expensive mouse that double clicks within 3 months plus the scroll wheel is gonna be messed up. Warranty is useless if they can't ship international. I really love their design, shape and etc. but the quality is crap.
I agree.
Having issues?
BANG IT! Works everytime! 😂👍
xD
Mine double clicks I EFFIN HATE IT
Sigh
The double click issue will eventually happen regardless of the brand.
Except for very less failure rate with optical switches.
Dude you need more subs. Have mine.
Thanks!
I own this mouse 2 years and condition like new. Maybe you should wash your hands after food…
No, I won't. My hands, my rules.

Happy Birthday bro 🎉
@@MrMuBot thank you 🥳

Mouses have 1 fucking mission and it is to point and click and this cheap piece of crap cannot even do that.
