Logitech G is pushing its pro-style gaming features further down the price ladder. The newest additions to its G3 Series, the G305 X SUPERLIGHT wireless mouse and the G316 X 98 wired mechanical keyboard, are aimed at players who want fast, light, customisable gear without paying flagship money.
The pair joins the G325 LIGHTSPEED headset that launched earlier this year, rounding out the G3 Series as a full desktop kit. Logitech Malaysia shared the launch with local media, so the gear is headed for the Malaysian market, though ringgit pricing has not been confirmed yet.

A 59-gram mouse built on the HERO 44K sensor
The G305 X SUPERLIGHT keeps the familiar G305 shape but drops to roughly 59 grams, around 39 grams lighter than the original G305 LIGHTSPEED. It moves to Logitech’s HERO 44K sensor, which tracks up to 44,000 DPI with 40G of acceleration and no smoothing. You can connect over LIGHTSPEED wireless, Bluetooth, or USB-C wired, and battery life runs past 130 hours, with a two-minute charge good for about 3.5 hours of play. It polls at standard rates out of the box and can be pushed to an 8 kHz report rate using the separate PRO LIGHTSPEED receiver. Logitech also says the mouse uses at least 51 percent recycled plastic and exposes its screws so it is easier to repair.
The G316 X 98 chases a custom-keyboard feel
The G316 X 98 is a wired board in a compact 98-key layout. It runs at an 8 kHz polling rate with a 0.125ms response time, and it ships with hot-swappable Linear or Tactile switches plus a screwless, snap-fit gasket build that Logitech says delivers a softer, “thocky” sound. A dot-matrix LED screen and a control dial handle report rate, brightness, volume, and media, while a LIGHTSYNC RGB light bar offers 30 zones alongside per-key lighting. Both the mouse and keyboard are configured through Logitech’s G HUB software, where you can save profiles, macros, and lighting.
Why the Logitech G3 Series matters
Logitech already sells faster and lighter gear in its PRO line, but those carry premium prices. The G3 Series is the company’s attempt to bring the same headline features, an 8 kHz ceiling, a sub-60-gram mouse, and a gasket-mounted hot-swap keyboard, to a more accessible tier. Logitech G’s PC gaming lead, Arnaud Perret-Gentil, described the range as a “strategic evolution” of the brand’s “Play for All” goal. For first-time buyers building a competitive setup, that means less compromise on the specs that affect aim and input feel.
Price and availability
The G305 X SUPERLIGHT carries a US$79.99 price and the G316 X 98 is US$119.99, both in black and white, with sales starting 30 June 2026. The G325 headset that completes the series is already on sale at US$79.99. Malaysian ringgit pricing and a local on-sale date had not been confirmed at the time of writing, so the US figures are the best guide for now.
For Malaysian players, the takeaway is simple: Logitech is betting that pro-style speed and a boutique keyboard feel no longer need a flagship budget.
