Esports-grade gaming gear has a pricing problem: the good stuff usually costs as much as the GPU it’s plugged into. Logitech G is taking a swing at that with the **G3 Series**, a new mouse-and-keyboard lineup that borrows tech straight from its flagship pro gear — an 8 kHz report rate, a HERO 44K sensor — and prices it for everyday gamers instead of sponsored esports athletes.

## What’s Actually Launching

| Product | Price | Available |
| --- | --- | --- |
| G305 X SUPERLIGHT (mouse) | $79.99 | June 30, 2026 |
| G316 X 98 (keyboard) | $119.99 | June 30, 2026 |
| G325 LIGHTSPEED (headset) | $79.99 | Already available |

Together, these three complete what Logitech is calling its “Power Ecosystem” — a fully curated setup built to deliver flagship-feeling performance without flagship-tier pricing.

## G305 X SUPERLIGHT: The Classic Shape Gets a Speed Boost

The G305 has quietly been one of Logitech’s most beloved budget mice for years, and this update keeps that familiar shape while injecting genuinely high-end internals.

| Spec | Detail |
| --- | --- |
| Sensor | HERO, up to 44K DPI |
| Report rate | Up to 8 kHz (with PRO LIGHTSPEED Receiver) |
| Weight | ~59 grams |
| Battery | 130+ hours, 3.5 hrs playtime from a 2-min charge |
| Connectivity | LIGHTSPEED wireless, Bluetooth, wired |
| Sustainability | 51%+ recycled plastic, exposed screws for repairability |

That 8 kHz figure is worth pausing on — it’s the same polling-rate tier Logitech reserved for genuine esports-grade hardware until recently, like the **[G PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE](https://technosports.co.in/logitech-g-pro-x2-superstrike-review/)** built with input from teams like G2 Esports and NAVI. Seeing that trickle down to an $80 mouse is a real shift in what “budget gaming gear” means in 2026.

## G316 X 98: Custom-Keyboard Feel, Zero DIY Required

Building a “thocky” mechanical keyboard has traditionally meant hunting down gaskets, switches, and stabilizers separately. The G316 X 98 packages that boutique feel into something you just buy and plug in.

| Feature | What It Adds |
| --- | --- |
| Snap-fit gasket design | Screwless build, satisfying acoustic “thock” |
| Hot-swappable switches | Customize feel without soldering |
| 0.125ms response time | Genuinely competitive-grade latency |
| Dot-matrix display + dial | Quick report-rate, brightness, and media control |
| Per-key LIGHTSYNC RGB | 30 customizable lighting zones |

For comparison, this kind of acoustic customization used to live almost exclusively in premium peripherals like Logitech’s own **[MX Master 3S ecosystem](https://technosports.co.in/logitech-mx-master-3s-custom/)** — seeing gasket-mount construction land in a sub-$120 gaming keyboard signals just how quickly “boutique” features are becoming standard.

## Why This Pricing Strategy Matters

Logitech’s own framing for this launch is “Play for All” — democratizing pro-inspired tech rather than gatekeeping it behind premium pricing. That’s a meaningful shift in a category where budget options have historically meant real compromises, as we’ve tracked across **[entry-level gaming mice options in India](https://technosports.co.in/top-10-gaming-mouse-in-india-under-inr-2000/)** over the years. The G3 Series doesn’t eliminate the price gap entirely, but it does meaningfully narrow it.

## The Bottom Line

A sub-$80 mouse with an 8 kHz report rate and a sub-$120 keyboard with gasket-mount construction would have sounded like a fantasy spec sheet a few years ago. Whether the G3 Series holds up against real-world testing remains to be seen once it ships on June 30, but on paper, Logitech just made elite-tier responsiveness genuinely accessible.
