Logitech - G502 x Wired Gaming Mouse - White

I've been using the Logitech G502X Lightspeed Plus for the last week and I haven't been able to stop using it. So much so that I can't decide if the Razer Viper Ultimate V2 Pro is still my favorite mouse of all time or if this Logitech G502X Plus has just taken it's place. After going through countless gaming mice over the years that boast all the latest tech and features, I've narrowed down three core components that matter the most to me: mouse shape and how it conforms to my hand, the sensor, and weight. While these three core components are of most significance to me, the additional components such as the scroll wheel, mouse skates, physical buttons, and software are the defining factors that complete the overall package.

So much so that I can't decide if the Razer Viper Ultimate V2 Pro is still my favorite mouse of all time or if this Logitech G502X Plus has just taken it's place. After going through countless gaming mice over the years that boast all the latest tech and features, I've narrowed down three core components that matter the most to me: mouse shape and how it conforms to my hand, the sensor, and weight. While these three core components are of most significance to me, the additional components such as the scroll wheel, mouse skates, physical buttons, and software are the defining factors that complete the overall package. They ultimately help aid my decision in whether I make a mouse my daily driver or not. After about a week's use, I'm convinced that Logitech has delivered a flagship product worthy of a daily driver.For someone with medium to large hands, I find the mouse shape of this Logitech G502X plus right on the cusp of absolute perfection. For context, my hand measures 7.5" height (from the base of my wrist to the tip of my middle finger) by 4.25" width (measuring across my palm including my thumb). While mouse shape and size ultimately comes down to personal preference, I find the shape of this G502X perfect for interchanging between my preferred palm and claw grip. It also has a more prominent hump than the smaller Viper Ultimate V2 which adds an ergonomic comfort that is not present in the Viper Ultimate. While in some scenarios (mainly competitive FPS short gaming sessions) I may still prefer the more low profile shape of the Viper Ultimate V2 Pro, I'm noticing that the more ergo shape of this G502X makes for a much more comfortable experience for long gaming sessions. It does so without compromising on my performance either as I've found the ability to maneuver the mouse to be about the same. While the weight of 104 grams is significantly heavier than a lot of today's popular gaming mice, for my medium to large hands, this was a non issue. I also found that the heavier weight of this mouse is easily counteracted by the stellar mouse shape and thumb rest which provided some of the best handling I've ever experienced. And if you were a big fan of the original G502 (which I certainly was back in the day!), you'll be happy to know that it's now lighter than the original 114 grams.In terms of the Hero 25k sensor, there's really not much to say other than it's a flawless sensor. I played countless hours of Overwatch, Counter-Strike GO, Vanguard, Warzone, Doom Eternal, etc., and was very impressed with it's insanely accurate tracking performance. I never experienced any sort of input lag, stutter, or delays when using it wirelessly. Another thing I really love is it's default lift off distance out of the box. When using AWPs or scouts in CS:GO, this is something that has always been immediately apparent to me. I either have to mess with LOD settings or scrap the mouse all together. This G502X is well balanced in this regard. Testing the sensor across a multitude of different screen sizes and resolutions with different DPI settings, the tracking always felt perfect.When it comes to the additional hardware components, this mouse is just well built. The pure PTFE feet glide effortlessly on practically any surface. I'm also a huge fan of the infinite scroll wheel. It's something I find myself using more and more for productivity work. It's also very sturdy with prominent clicks. In terms of the physical buttons, Logitech's new hybrid optical switches feel extremely satisfying. By far the best switches I've ever felt on a mouse. This is something that Logitech has always gotten right and now it's better than ever. They feel very crisp with great tactile actuation. This has always been a bit of a sore point on my Viper Ultimate V2 since the optical switches feel a bit mushy. Of course, this new G502X plus comes with a sniper button as was originally featured back when the G502 was first debuted. I love that Logitech now gives you the option to remove it altogether and replace it with an unobtrusive button that's included in the box. Another feature that I like is the additional G7 and G8 buttons which allow you to map them to whatever you want. By default, they function as DPI toggles (up/down) which is a feature that is being stripped on a lot of new flagship gaming mice in order to make them as light as possible (not a fan!). Lastly, the Logitech G Hub software is a joy to use. It's minimalistic and intuitive design interface accompanied by a plethora of different customization options, just helps to accent what is already a top notch product. G-Hub tells you exactly how much battery you have left (down to the power consumption of your mouse), allows you to set multiple profiles, map buttons, change RGB lighting, create macros, and customize DPI speeds. I love the "on-board memory mode" option. This is perfect for those who don't want to mess with software. Just set everything once and those changes will be saved onto the physical on-board memory of the mouse so your settings will just automatically load whenever you boot your PC.I was not expecting to like this mouse as much as I did. Although I was a big fan of the original G502, somewhere down the line I got caught up in the ultra light weight gaming mouse trend. So much so, that I had forgotten how iconic this mouse shape (and it's thumb rest) is and how well it conforms to my hand; an easy tradeoff for a slightly heavier mouse that most users can easily adapt to. Combine that with useful software, sleek PTFE feet, amazing hybrid optical switches, a flawless sensor, and an epic scroll wheel, and you have one of the best, if not THE best, flagship gaming mice currently out!

First of all. Two main downsides to this mouse over the previous model: The battery life is shorter, and there is no weight system anymore, but that was a feature that I never used, and I always left out the weights so my mouse was as light as possible.The shorter battery life is likely because of the large addressable RGB strip running across the back of the mouse. Though I don't have a problem plugging the mouse in once a week or so to give it a charge.Everything else is better though. From the feel, to the really nice snappy switches on the two main clicks.And while you can blank out the "DPI shift" button where your thumb rests with a little rubber piece, there is no point because that's one of the main features I buy these G502 mice for. I always have ... MoreFirst of all.

I always have that button bound to G for grenades or anything else that I might like to have easy access to. I do like that you can flip around the button piece to suit the way you grip the mouse or your thumb length.And finally we're using USB C for the cable. And it will fit other cables if you happen to break the one that comes with the mouse.Only thing I'm not sure on is longevity. The previous G502 Lightspeed had some plastic quality issues where the mouse buttons became shiny much quicker than my G502 Proteus Spectrum.The plastic on this mouse hasn't shown any sign of wear so far, but only time will tell. So far it's been a month and the mouse still feels new.Also I don't have any comment on the sensor because they've been so good over the last decade that improving them literally makes no difference at all and if you swapped the sensor for a G502 Proteus Core's you wouldn't even notice.

My brother has had this mouse for almost 5 years now and with a little bit of cleaning it can still look like it's brand new. Over the same period of time I've gotten through many mice which are all at least $100 dollars each, so about a month ago I finally decided to get the G502 wired. Before I talk about the mouse's different aspects, keep in mind I play mostly roguelike and fps games and NEVER smash or damage my peripherals from anger.To start, the design of the mouse is great if you want something a bit more on the flashy side. Personally I love the addition of metal features like the scroll wheel and the DPI lights, and even the parts that aren't metal doesn't feel like cheap plastic like most other mice I've owned.The features of the mouse are what you'd ... MoreMy brother has had this mouse for almost 5 years now and with a little bit of cleaning it can still look like it's brand new.

Personally I love the addition of metal features like the scroll wheel and the DPI lights, and even the parts that aren't metal doesn't feel like cheap plastic like most other mice I've owned.The features of the mouse are what you'd expect from a good gaming mouse, like the DPI switch on the side for sniping in fps games, the two other DPI buttons on the top of the mouse for long-term changes in sensitivity, and two bindable buttons on the side of the mouse. The buttons all feel responsive and make a satisfying click sound, but one of the main features of the mouse is the scroll wheel, which can be toggled from a regular scroll wheel to an almost frictionless mode where it continues spinning in the direction you scroll. I thought I wouldn't use this much at first but it's become more and more convenient when scrolling down long websites or even text documents when working. The mouse also has additional weights that can be added, but the mouse already feels a bit too heavy for things like fps games even without added weight. This is my only complaint so far, so if you like using really light mice this probably isn't for you. The software is also easy to use and lets you change the DPI settings, RGB and even the functions for each button on the mouse.TLDROverall this is a great mouse with lots of features. I like everything about it except for it being a bit too heavy even without any of the additional weights, and the scroll wheel is convenient mostly for productivity.
