Manufacturer description

The Logitech M305 Wireless Mouse in silver is a compact, travel-friendly pointer built around Logitech's Plug-and-Forget Nano receiver, so you connect once and leave the transceiver in your laptop port indefinitely. At roughly 1.5 x 2.4 x 4.5 inches (H x W x D), it sits between a full-size desktop mouse and a cramped notebook mouse, and the contoured shell with soft rubber side grips keeps your thumb and ring finger anchored during long sessions. Optical tracking drives the cursor, while a three-button layout plus a scroll wheel covers the essentials without burying functions in software…

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the battery last on the Logitech M305?

Logitech rates the M305 for up to two years of battery life on a single AA cell. The battery is not included, so plan on supplying your own AA at setup.

How big is the Logitech M305 mouse?

Approximately 1.5 x 2.4 x 4.5 inches (H x W x D). That is a compact, travel-sized profile rather than a full-size desktop mouse.
