The short version
- G305 X SUPERLIGHT wireless mouse: $79.99, ~59g, HERO 44K sensor, 8kHz report rate, LIGHTSPEED wireless/Bluetooth/wired, 130+ hours of battery life, USB-C charging
- G316 X 98 wired mechanical keyboard: $119.99, 8kHz polling (0.125ms response), hot-swappable switches, screwless snap-fit gasket design, dot-matrix LED display with control dial, 30 RGB light bar zones
- Both launched June 30, 2026 in Black and White, joining the existing G325 LIGHTSPEED wireless headset ($79.99) to complete the G3 lineup
- Both use a minimum of 51% recycled plastic in their construction
Logitech has finished building out its G3 series, adding the G305 X SUPERLIGHT wireless mouse and G316 X 98 wired mechanical keyboard alongside the already-available G325 headset — a full mouse-keyboard-headset desk setup that Logitech is pitching as “elite tech” at an “accessible price.”
What’s actually in the box
The G305 X SUPERLIGHT is the lighter of the two announcements at roughly 59 grams, built around Logitech’s HERO 44K sensor with an 8,000Hz report rate — specs that were exclusive to Logitech’s much pricier flagship mice not long ago. It switches between LIGHTSPEED wireless, Bluetooth, and a wired connection, and Logitech is claiming over 130 hours of battery life per charge over USB-C.
The G316 X 98 keyboard matches the mouse’s 8,000Hz performance (0.125ms response time) and drops the screws in favor of a snap-fit gasket build — a construction style usually reserved for enthusiast custom keyboards, not a $119.99 pre-built option. It also ships with hot-swappable switches, cross-hatch stem keycaps, 30 individually customizable RGB light bar zones, and a small dot-matrix LED display paired with a control dial for adjusting settings without leaving the keyboard.
Why it matters
High polling rates, hot-swappable switches, and screwless gasket construction have all been premium or boutique features until fairly recently — seeing them land in a sub-$120 keyboard and a sub-$80 mouse from one of the biggest peripheral makers is a sign of how quickly that gear has become table stakes rather than a luxury tier. For anyone gearing up for competitive play without wanting to spend flagship money, the completed G3 lineup is worth a look.
