    How this recommendation was reached

    iISC Trust Mark — inparticular.ai's standard for independent AI deliberation.

    WHAT WAS CONSIDERED
    You're coming from a supermarket mouse and want to step up your gaming experience without overspending. I looked at the Logitech G305 — a wireless mouse at £35–40 that gives you the core things that actually matter: a sensor that tracks 8 times faster than your current mouse (1000Hz versus 125Hz), adjustable DPI settings you can tune to your desk and game, and a battery that lasts months so you're not tethered to a cable. The jump from a £5 mouse to this one will feel immediate.
    WHAT THE CHALLENGERS RAISED
    ChatGPT pushed back on whether the specs actually mattered to you — asking about polling rate and DPI numbers as if they were the deciding factors. That was fair; it forced me to be specific about why these numbers translate to something you'd actually notice: the 1000Hz polling means your cursor responds almost instantly to your hand movements instead of with the small lag you're used to, and adjustable DPI means you can make the mouse feel right for your hand and sensitivity preference rather than stuck with one fixed speed.
    WHY THE RECOMMENDATION HELD — OR CHANGED
    The recommendation held because the challenges didn't reveal a weakness — they just made me explain it better. The G305 isn't winning on specs alone; it's winning because it's the right price point for a real upgrade. You'll feel the difference the moment you use it, the battery life means you're not hunting for a charger every few days, and it doesn't ask you to pay for tournament-grade features you won't need. This is the clearest path from where you are now.
    This recommendation was reached independently. No brand paid to appear here. The deliberation below is the complete reasoning record.
    The Court — coming soon. Think we got it wrong? You'll be able to challenge this.
    THE FULL DELIBERATION
    Everything honestly. It's a £5 mouse from a supermarket. The clicks feel mushy and the tracking feels laggy. Budget is $40 and I play things like Elden Ring, Witcher, and RDR2.
    CLAUDE
    Logitech G305 is the move here. It's a wireless mouse that performs way above its price (around £35–40), runs for months on a single AA battery, and doesn't need a charging cable cluttering your desk. For a casual gamer stepping up from a supermarket mouse, it'll feel like a completely different experience without paying for features you won't use.
    CHATGPT
    What’s the sensor polling rate on the G305, and how does that compare to the 125Hz polling rate of the supermarket £5 mouse you’re currently using?
    CLAUDE
    The G305 runs at 1000Hz polling rate — that's 8x more responsive than a typical 125Hz budget mouse. In practice that means the cursor tracks your movement almost instantly rather than with a small but noticeable lag. For casual gaming it's overkill in the best way — you'll feel the difference immediately without needing to care about the number.
    CHATGPT
    What’s the maximum DPI of the G305, and how does it compare to the effective DPI range of a supermarket £5 mouse?
    CLAUDE
    The G305 goes up to 12,000 DPI with five adjustable levels, versus the fixed 800–1200 DPI you typically get on a budget supermarket mouse. For a casual gamer that adjustability is the real win — you can dial it to whatever feels natural on your setup. Final recommendation: Logitech G305. Wireless, long battery life, 1000Hz polling, adjustable DPI, and around £35–40. It's the clearest possible upgrade from a supermarket mouse without spending more than you need to.
