Logitech Expands G3 Line With Pro‑Level Mouse and Hot‑Swap Keyboard

Arriving June 30, the G305 X Superlight and G316 X 98 pack flagship sensors, 8 kHz polling, USB-C charging, repairable designs, recycled plastics to lower the cost of esports‑grade gear.

Overview

  • Logitech announced the additions to its G3 Series on June 16, revealing the G305 X Superlight mouse at $79.99 and the G316 X 98 keyboard at $119.99 with both set to go on sale June 30.
  • The G305 X Superlight is a roughly 59‑gram wireless mouse that uses an updated HERO 44K sensor, offers LIGHTSPEED, Bluetooth and wired modes, and can reach up to 8 kHz polling when paired with the optional PRO LIGHTSPEED receiver.
  • Logitech rates the G305 X battery at 130+ hours, says USB‑C fast charging gives about 3.5 hours of play from two minutes of charging, and notes the mouse is built with at least 51% recycled plastic and exposed screws to support repairability.
  • The G316 X 98 is a wired 98‑key mechanical keyboard tuned for 8 kHz performance with a 0.125 ms response, hot‑swappable switches, a multi‑layer snap‑fit gasket for a ‘thocky’ sound, a dot‑matrix status display and a control dial for onboard adjustments.
  • Both products integrate with Logitech G HUB for lighting and macro control, complete the G3 desktop ecosystem that began with the G325 headset earlier this year, and will face independent hands‑on reviews and real‑world latency and battery tests after launch.
