To follow up on our test of the collection of Aurora peripherals from Logitech, here comes the time to offer you the test of the G705 mouse that accompanies the pack.
After having offered you the test of the Logitech G715 Aurora keyboard, here is now the test of the G705 mouse which is made to accompany mechanics. This Aurora range aims to be inclusive, with a neat and particularly refined design. As for the keyboard, the bet is successful for the design of this mouse and its “angelic” appearance. Only the term “inclusive” is not really suitable since this basic model is mainly intended for small hands, in fact, if you have a big paw like yours truly, its use, although quite acceptable, is clearly not not made for you. In fact, and even if there are exceptions, this device is mainly intended for women or men with a small/medium build. If you are over 1m80, you have a good chance of having some gripping issues. Even less inclusive, it’s also aimed exclusively at right-handers. Its shape and the location of the side buttons are no doubt about that.
For small hands only
Very clearly its morphology makes it a perfect mouse for use in Claw and Fingertip. If you are a fan of the Palm grip, namely the mouse completely resting on the mouse… The size of the Logitech G705 will seriously complicate your task. We repeat, run away if you have big hands. Its dimensions are 105.8 mm x 68.1 mm x 39.4 mm for 85 grams.
Wireless, it offers in-house technology from Logitech Lightspeed, which has nothing more to prove, allowing instant reaction time and above all total and complete fluidity, far from the Bluetooth signal. On the belly of the mouse, you can also switch at your convenience between the two modes via a simple button. We obviously advise you to always use lightspeed for video games, even if this mode is more energy-consuming for the battery. Moreover, the autonomy is announced as being 50h with RGB lighting, which indeed seems the case after intensive use.
Good performance
The optical sensor is a HERO model a little below compared to the more high-end models of the manufacturer but which obviously does its job very well in game as in office automation. It was necessary to make concessions so that the mouse remains affordable, in this case below the symbolic bar of 100 euros on most retailers. 3 DPI modes are available, between 100 and 8200 DPI. In play, its use is quite convincing, even if once again, it’s difficult to appreciate all of its performance with big hands.
For the rest, the quality is also there with good click activation force and very good feedback under the fingers. The side flank buttons are thin but very pleasant to use.
