Maintenance

Battery Replacement

The G304/G305 uses one AA battery. To replace the battery, follow steps 1-3 of the "Setup Instructions" section. For a lighter mouse, a lithium AA battery (not included) can be used.

Optimizing Wireless Performance

To minimize environmental noise and ensure optimal wireless performance, especially in noisy 2.4GHz wireless environments:

  • Keep the mouse and receiver at least 2 meters (6.5 feet) away from wireless routers or other 2.4GHz wireless devices.
  • It is recommended to keep the receiver within 20 cm (8 inches) of the mouse.

Tips for optimizing wireless performance and receiver placement.

Troubleshooting

  • Mouse not recognized by G HUB:

    Ensure you have an original Logitech G304/G305 mouse. Counterfeit products may not be recognized by the official software. Reinstall G HUB software and ensure the USB receiver is properly connected.

  • DPI switch button not working:

    Check your G HUB software settings. Ensure the DPI cycle button is correctly assigned and that you have configured multiple DPI steps. Step 5 (6400 DPI) and Endurance Mode require activation via G HUB.

  • Intermittent connection or lag:

    Refer to the "Optimizing Wireless Performance" section under Maintenance. Ensure the receiver is close to the mouse and away from other 2.4GHz wireless devices.

  • Mouse feels heavy:

    Consider using a lithium AA battery (not included) instead of a standard alkaline AA battery to reduce the overall weight of the mouse.
