Logitech G502 X Wired Gaming Mouse LIGHTFORCE HERO 25K 13 Buttons 89g Black

From out of the box, this mouse had issues. Primarily being that the cord was wired in a downwards facing fashion, meaning it'd drag on the mousepad... making this seemingly light mouse feel heavy and inaccurate.I dealt with this over time, training the cord into a proper position while not in use till it became a non-issue. Mouse was otherwise working great till the left and right mouse buttons started to fail, sometimes for a few minutes, up to a few hours, to now totally not working at all.This failured occured after only a 3 month period and upon doing some research, it is a fairly common problem with the switches and humid climates. Additionally after only 3 months of moderate usage, the rubber thumb pad started to degrade quickly.Pretty sad all round - ... MoreFrom out of the box, this mouse had issues.

By the way, speaking of ghub, you can use this mouse without the software if you so choose, as there are preset DPI settings in the firmware. However, you will gain a lot of functionality, including the ability to change these presets if you use the ghub software.Outstanding product, great service, and rapid shipping.

Excellent mouse

Used a G500 for about a decade which I had to fix 3-4 times due to double click issues. It started happening again so I decided to try a new mouse with optical/mechanical switches. This should mean double clicks are now impossible. Ergonomically the G502 X is similar to the G500. I have very big hands (25cm span) and I have a finger grip style. The main buttons and wheel are easily accessible. Due to my finger grip, I can't naturally reach to forward trigger on the side nor the forward side button, but the back side button is fine. I like that you can store 5 profiles directly on the mouse (switched using a button in front of the wheel), so you can set with the GHub software and uninstall. The GHub software is pretty good though and you can set the underutilised ... MoreUsed a G500 for about a decade which I had to fix 3-4 times due to double click issues.

The GHub software is pretty good though and you can set the underutilised buttons to various Windows functions like copy/paste or Task Manager etc. Mouse clicks are very distinct with a solid click sound and feeling when depressed. I like the positive feedback that gives, others might not. The wheel notches are well defined and give a positive stop at each point. This does mean quite a grating sound when scrolling large pages, but I find it good when gaming and I only want to move one notch and not accidentally two. It also has free scroll which allows you to disengage the wheel notches and allow it to rotate freely. I like having a wired mouse, no need to faff about with batteries, absolutely no lag from bad signal, and the wire doesn't obstruct movement in any way. Bought this at a discount, about a third off RRP, I'd be happy to pay RRP for the non-RGB wired version. Hoping it will last me another decade.

Lochitech G502 X- gaming mouse

I bought this gaming mouse two weeks ago, to replace my mouse that had some technical problems in it. The reason I chose a gaming mouse I'm a professional animator and hobbyist gamer and I wanted the reliability of a USB traditional wired mouse.The mouse shape is surprisingly ergonomic, you can rest your thumb on the side of the mouse giving you a good grip and restful hand position. Its middle mouse button has a scroll wheel that can be toggled between smooth and controlled ticks. Handling is pretty light and because of its fast refresh rate, you can do cursor movements quite quickly.

This feature can be useful in a CAD environment to give the most common, commands at your fingertips.I'm not giving perfect scores because of the mouse's technical functionality but because its Macro programming button GUI is slightly hard to use. I have been satisfied with my purchase. I think this mouse is and this mouse is definitely worth your money.

[Rewarded Review] A great gaming mouse to use with a caveat

Overall I'm happy using this mouse as a daily driver. It's really nice to adjust the DPI with the buttons to the side of the left mouse button. Of course, any of the mouse buttons can be mapped to different mouse or keyboard actions using Logitech's G HUB software and be stored at the mouse's firmware level for portability. I changed the DPI Shift button on the left side of the mouse to be either the Win or Alt keys using different profiles depending on the OS I'm using. This is to be able to move and resize window apps with the left and right mouse respectively without needing to use the titlebar and window edges. For Windows, I use the AltSnap utility on GitHub to accomplish this feature. The only caveat I must mention is that it sort of requires using the top ... MoreOverall I'm happy using this mouse as a daily driver.

For Windows, I use the AltSnap utility on GitHub to accomplish this feature. The only caveat I must mention is that it sort of requires using the top 3-finger pose instead of 2 for gaming in long durations. The top-right side of the mouse has a bit of outward edge and when gripping it with the ring finger in the 2-finger pose can eventually create some pitched nerve damage there, even with large hands. Adjusting to 3-finger is something I need to get used to but would work well given the molding design of the mouse.

[Rewarded Review] Ghub makes no sense but this is a nice mouse

If you like the other G502 mice, I'm sure you'll like this one just as much and more. It's ridiculously lightweight compared to the OG HERO. The one thing annoys me is that, and supposedly this is a fix, they made the thumb buttons easier to press. I never once had problems hitting my thumbs buttons on the OG HERO but now I certainly have problems with hitting them all the time! I almost have to consider leaving them unbinded because of how detrimental to my gaming experience they've become. I play a lot of Battlefield 1 still and I use my thumb buttons for my gas mask so, quite frequently, I'm shooting an enemy and then my guy randomly puts his gas mask on and I die. Never had that happen with my old mouse. On the flip side, my hands are fairly large so I always ... MoreIf you like the other G502 mice, I'm sure you'll like this one just as much and more.

Never had that happen with my old mouse. On the flip side, my hands are fairly large so I always had a problem with having to keep my ring finger and pinky finger curled so that I could move my mouse freely on the OG HERO. This one is arched up higher so I don't have to do much acrobatics to keep my hand out of its own way anymore. Overall, decent mouse but Ghub is still a brain-dead application. On a sidenote, the materials they used feel way cheaper. The plastic probably saved a lot of weight but I feel like I'm using a mouse off Temu sometimes.

[Rewarded Review] Great Mouse For Everything!

I've been a long time user of the G602 and G604, but both were heavy, and the 604 replaced the 602, and has since been discontinued and not replaced. So after searching for mice with extra buttons near the thumb but also comfortable with a lot of the features I've loved in the 604. While the G502 X didn't fill all those needs, it's been a great choice.Pros:- Ergonomic - It just fits my (rather large) hand well in a few different positions, and is so light I've found my wrist fatigue has been reduced significantly. Unlike the 604, I can press every button easily without looking for them, particularly the scroll wheel, DPI adjustments, and 3 easy to find thumb buttons is great. It also feels comfortable, which is hard to describe, but the material feel is what I ... MoreI've been a long time user of the G602 and G604, but both were heavy, and the 604 replaced the 602, and has since been discontinued and not replaced.

Unlike the 604, I can press every button easily without looking for them, particularly the scroll wheel, DPI adjustments, and 3 easy to find thumb buttons is great. It also feels comfortable, which is hard to describe, but the material feel is what I want in a mouse.- Light - I mentioned this in the ergonomic part, but its super light. Apparently it's around 105 grams, which can be heavy for an ultra-competitive mouse, but for most gamers or folks just looking for a light wireless mouse, it's great.- Great button feel - The older Logitech mice used to have a weird mushy click and my old 602 and 604 both had issues where the button would stop working well. The new G502 X models have a new mechanical click that feels amazing. Very much like a mechanical keyboard as far as consistancy and feedback. Not every button has the same feel, but they all feel very tactile and reliable.- Great battery life - I can get 3 weeks on a full charge at 1000 hz poling rate. Don't bother with smaller polling rates, as when the mouse isn't being used it's not a power issue, and when it is in use, it's still not a huge power issue. You might get a few extra days at best, but if 3 weeks isn't enough charge time for you, I'd be shocked.- USB-C charging - Sad that this is still a plus, but USB-C cables are so much better. Glad we're finally starting to no longer see Micro-USB cables.- Works Wired - Forgot to charge it? You can use it wired, or use it while charging (Either works).- Great sensitivity - The mouse is so adjustable, I found I could turn it down from my usual DPI and get both great responsiveness and accuracy with a near default config.- Customizable - Logitech G software has flaws, but it does allow some pretty good versatile configurations. Every button can be remapped and remapping can be done on a per-app basis.- Logitech Support - I've had multiple issues with Logitech mice long into their service but under warranty, and Logitech has always been easy to work with to get a replacement or help. This sounds like I'm saying Logitech has a quality issue, and I'm not, I know stuff happens, particularly with high use products, so it's good they stand by them.Cons:- Large - It's not a small mouse, so if you have small hands, it could be a little large for you. It also means it's not easily portable, though honestly mice aren't that large in general, so portability isn't a major concern, and you can always get a mouse case if you travel a lot and want to protect it.- Logitech G Software sucks - I mean, it does OK, it can auto-sense games, you can copy profiles, but it has several general flaws, including if it detects a new game it generates that game's default setting that you CAN NOT CUSTOMIZE ahead of time. If I have a known default mapping/DPI setting I know I like in most games, why can't I make that the default? Also, making button changes and navigation of the US is very unintuitive. Like one of the worst UIs I've worked with on a major brand's software. It also by default likes to spam notifications that is harder to turn off than I would have liked (Otherwise, every time the mouse gets touched, you get a windows notification or 3 about the mouse and DPI changes). Their old software (pre 2015) was easy to use, and worked in the UI was nearly the exact opposite of this. Fix your software Logitech!- No backup gliders - Not a deal breaker, as I know I've not had a mouse with glider issues in the past 10-15 years, but it would be nice, particularly on a gaming mouse where if the pads wear it could be noticeable for some. I don't need stickers Logitech, I'd rather have a replacement pad set.- No pinkie rest - Some mice have a nice pinkie rest that helps you relax your hand a bit. This mouse does not. That's definitely a personal thing, and honestly most gaming mice have moved away from this due to weight, but with a large hand, I like mice with them.Overall, it's a great mouse with a lot going for it. I'm enjoying using it, have found my hand/arm feel better after a day of using it vs my old mouse, and love all the features it offers that I can look past any small shortcomings.Who do I recommend this mouse for? Artists who need finite DPI control. Office workers who want a bigger mouse (there are cheaper options, but it's a solid productivity mouse). People who use their computer for a significant time. Casual gamers. Competitive gamers who want an all in one mouse. It's a good mouse for a lot of use cases, which is why I'm giving it a 5 star review. It's not perfect, but very few products are, and it's strong where it needs to be.

[Rewarded Review] Great mouse hardware, annoying required software

Logitech has a theme: they make great hardware that on its own is an excellent value and could be best in the industry, but gaming hardware requires software as part of its intended use, and Logitech G HUB is not the same quality as their hardware.This mouse on its own is an excellent piece of hardware. Logitech managed to make a high performance wireless gaming mouse that is actually noticeably lighter than their previous generation wired mouse. I can't say if that affects the battery life because I've used it with a charging mat and never charged it. They got the balance perfect. The scroll wheel is an improvement over the old metal scroll wheel, and I prefer the physical release button to switch between click and free scroll over Razer's electronic ... MoreLogitech has a theme: they make great hardware that on its own is an excellent value and could be best in the industry, but gaming hardware requires software as part of its intended use, and Logitech G HUB is not the same quality as their hardware.This mouse on its own is an excellent piece of hardware.

G Hub is just a pain to use, unless you only ever play one game. But if you're like me and you like to play new games somewhat regularly, you will have to set up a new game profile EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. As much flack as Razer gets for Synapse, they did this right. You can set up a few profiles and add as many games as you want to those few profiles, and they sync across computers, so if you have a desktop and a laptop, they both work the same way. G HUB requires you to create an individual profile for each game. Technically, you can copy a profile from one game to another, but it isn't a straightforward process, and there is nothing in G HUB to indicate that it is even possible. I had to find someone on the internet to describe the process.PLEASE Logitech, invest some more of your resources in making G HUB the gaming software worthy of your hardware, and you'll have a loyal customer for life.

[Rewarded Review] Worthy Successor

The OG G502 and the G502 Lightspeed are my favorite mice of all time. They performed well for most games in my experience and for general use. Extremely comfortable, conformed to my grip and hand size perfectly, and durable for the most part. I really loved the free scrolling wheel as well as it was useful for many things. The main flaw with those mice however, was that they were prone to double clicking due to the switches Logitech used at the time.For this mouse, Logitech changed the switches being used in M1 and M2, so double clicking should no longer be an issue. Though compared to the G502/LS, the mouse clicks feel a bit hollow and have slightly more travel. It's also a bit lighter which I definitely appreciate, but feels a little wider which could either be ... MoreThe OG G502 and the G502 Lightspeed are my favorite mice of all time.

It retains the free scroll wheel and the overall performance of this mouse is great. The new sensor is very accurate and the battery life is great especially with this being the non-rgb version.Overall, this is a worthy successor to the G502/LS. Improvements have been made while retaining the qualities that made the G502/LS awesome mice in the first place.
