The gaming mouse world moves fast, yet it often feels like we are seeing the same endless iterations: faster sensors, hyper-inflated polling rates, and price tags pushing past the S$200 mark. But every now and then, a gaming mouse comes along that focuses entirely on what actually matters – shape, weight, and pure practicality. Enter the Logitech G304 X SUPERLIGHT.

Previously, I reviewed the Logitech G309 LIGHTSPEED, which I thought was the “perfect” wireless gaming mouse for the masses back then. But the G304 X might just take over the throne.
Like the G309, this gaming mouse comes in a symmetrical “egg” shape. So it doesn’t matter whether you are a claw or fingertip gripper. Or if you simply prefer a smaller, agile mouse that you can easily toss into a laptop bag, you will feel right at home.
The big news is the weight distribution. By swapping out an AA battery compartment for a built-in rechargeable internal battery and trimming the fat on the chassis, Logitech dropped the weight down to a stunning 59g. The “lightweight-ness” allows the G304 X to be snappy, effortless, and much less fatiguing during long sessions.
In addition, the G304 X has a translucent patch on top where a minimalist splash of RGB shines through, giving it a clean, modern minimalistic aesthetic without screaming “hardcore gamer”. It supports Logitech’s LIGHTSYNC RGB via G Hub, so you can ensure your entire Logitech suite of devices “flashes” in the same way.
Under the hood, Logitech packed their updated HERO 44K sensor, pushing specs up to 44,000 DPI and 678 IPS tracking. Let’s be completely honest: no one actually plays at 44,000 DPI. It is a massive spec-sheet number meant for marketing, but what it does mean in practice is that the sensor is incredibly efficient, pixel-precise, and perfectly stable. Whether I was working through precise photo editing or playing fast-paced Diablo 4 dungeon runs, tracking was flawless. Crucially, the mouse now features three options of connectivity:
- LIGHTSPEED Wireless: The lag-free 2.4GHz connection using the included dongle. (It supports an upgrade to an 8,000 Hz polling rate if you buy the separate PRO Wireless Receiver, though the stock 1,000 Hz is more than enough for 99% of users.)
- Bluetooth: A massive addition for productivity. You can toggle over to Bluetooth to save battery while replying to emails on a laptop, saving the LIGHTSPEED connection for your gaming PC setup.
- USB-C: If you prefer, you can use the mouse the wired way via a USB-C cable. It also charges the mouse, offering up to 130 hours of battery life (on a full charge).
No mid-range mouse is without its quirks, and the G304 X has two specific areas that feel like a missed opportunity: the clicks and the skates. The main mouse buttons are clean and tactical, though they sound a bit hollow. The side buttons, however, feel slightly mushy with a bit too much pre-travel. They are serviceable, but they lack that premium, crisp snap found on Logitech’s pricier flagship models.
The bigger culprit is the stock PTFE feet (skates). Out of the box, they have a tendency to catch slightly against cloth mouse pads, creating a faint scratching sound and adding unnecessary resistance. Given that this is supposed to be a “SUPERLIGHT” mouse meant to glide effortlessly, the friction from the skates holds it back. If you are serious about a breezy glide, you will likely find yourself wanting to swap them out for third-party aftermarket dot skates.
VERDICT: If you already love the classic “egg” shape and want a lighter, wire-free desktop setup without breaking the bank, the Logitech G304 X SUPERLIGHT is a no-brainer upgrade. Priced at S$119, it has everything for a mid-range gaming mouse: superb performance, featherweight build, USB-C charging, Bluetooth flexibility, and a stellar battery life. Just be prepared to potentially buy a cheap pair of aftermarket skates if you want that perfect, friction-free glide.
