The Logitech G502 is maybe the best, most popular gaming mouse ever, but that doesn’t mean there’s no room for improvement. The G502 Lightspeed is the new wireless version with the HERO sensor, but can it compete with the DeathAdder, Finalmouse, or even Logi’s own G Pro Wireless?

Loved my logitech G5 that worked perfectly for "over a decade" and I also love its replacement the G502 I bought it in early 2016. I only replaced the G5 because I wanted something newer. As for the G502 since purchase, there have been zero operational issues with thousands of hours well into the double digits for use. The G502 still works perfectly like the day I bought it. People say this is a heavy mouse and I honestly see no difference coming from the older version. In fact I will say the weight provides more traction to assist with stopping unlike a light mouse that will over extend slightly. (I use a black razor diamond coated hard mouse pad to aid in several tracking areas) I love everything about the G502 and the wireless version is neat. But it is not double the price neat and will only reduce performance if the bluetooth plug is far away. Which in these tests the bluetooth connection is always very close to the mouse. So either your tower is directly next to your mouse within inches or it's on a wire anyway. I will also say a wired mouse has no noticeable drag long as you give the cord some slack near the mouse. My only complaint over the design is the cloth braiding around the cord. Logitech just can't make a quality braid for their cables as several of their products have the same issues. Eventually there will be a hole and the wire will push out. You can tape the hope or just cut the braid otherwise the wire will kink there and eventually expose wire ruining it. This is a problem for any braided cords. Plus it collects a ton of dust. Hope you enjoyed my 2 cents on this quality product and I would definitely buy another wired G502 if this one ever breaks.

[@majorOst]

I'm from same place, same upgrade and same issue. You are right bro. Cheers

[@TheWtfnonamez]

The Logitech G502 in any form, is hands down, the best high performance mouse Ive ever used. Its got all the benefits of a high performance gaming mouse, but the durability of a workhorse. I use different grips depending on whether im gaming, surfing or working, and its good for all positions. Its got enough buttons to helpful, but not so many that you end up doing random stuff by accident. The best recommendation I can give is that I just bought my second one, and the old one is still working just fine after 6 years.

Well that's just insanely subjective. I have a gaming chair, a 144Hz g-sync monitor and a somewhat expensive gaming mouse (steelseries rival 600). I'd argue I'm not playing any better than when I had an IKEA chair, literally the cheapest 24" monitor I could get at that time and a 15 bucks "gaming mouse". Yet I don't regret any of those purchases because subjectively it just feels better. I sit comfortably, the smooth motion in games is a treat I am not able to ever give away again and my rgb puking mouse just looks nice on the desk. So was it "worth it"? It's like buying an expensive car: You really don't ever need a Porsche or Mustang or Model S but driving one still feels pretty damn nice.

[@Dynamic-Productions]

@@christophmayer3991 That's the point. Each thing has its own percs and the more you spend the more comfort but at the end of the day, if youre running at 60fps and 720p at least, it won't make you play any better. A headset? Yes. A mouse? Only if your current one is unusable. But then again I buy expensive stuff and replace it once every x years so it lasts. Also, warrenty is good with logitech.

[@silentKeys20]

@David Whitfield Honestly it's not even competing for the same demographic. Someone serious about FPS gaming will never look at a mouse over 90g, and they're already opiniated enough to choose the likes of Final Mouse, Odin O, or the GWP/g305 for wireless. It's even called a brick in the enthusiast community. The g503 is really more of a casual gaming mouse that's also great for productivity. I would never use it for FPS games, but I wouldn't mind using it for work.

I just bought a G502 SE and was disappointed, that it now has a rubber cord, and not the braided cord. I looked on Amazon, and apparently even the new regular G502 now has a rubber cord. I think it stinks, that Logitech makes changes like this the their products, and does not change the name to indicate it is no longer the same version. I have an older G502 (non-Hero), but at least it has a braided cord. My favorite mouse is my Logitech G303, which is crazily expensive on the used market now. So, it's pretty much irreplaceable.

Give me ONE reason not to UPGRADE All South America: Money

[@FinnDarius]

I recently got mine as an upgrade to my Proteus Core so I can finally stop traveling with the cable. I just hope the middle click wouldn't die on me as quickly as it did for my old G502, their choice of using a small smd tact switch as opposed to a mechanical switch like every other button on the mouse definitely shortens this mouse's lifespan. I managed to solder on a new switch but all I could find were so heavy to press that I'd press the side scroll buttons too, good luck finding one that's as light to press on as the oem switch. As for the micro usb port, I can definitely live with carrying an extra cable around and I already trimmed down an old micro usb cable to fit the mouse so I never have to bring (and risk losing) the original cable. And as of the price, I got it brand new for ~$100, and I personally love this mouse from form factor to button options/placements so it's an investment that I'm happy to make, plus the inclusion of powerplay support definitely adds some futureproofing to this, assuming Logitech doesn't kill it by the time I can afford it. 'Cause unless/until it breaks, I don't plan on getting anything other mouse anytime soon. P.S. make the scroll wheel programmable

G502 Hero: Hey, I'm newer, faster, and cheaper than the other one. G502 Lightspeed: I'm x5 more expensive and perform the exact same as the G502 Hero, but I'm only as useful if you buy the $120 charging pad otherwise you will never use my RGB lighting. But hey, go team wireless! Even though I've got money to throw around, I just can't justify spending that much more. Maybe when the price comes down in a year or two then maybe, maybe the technology will become more widely available and cheaper, but $120 for essentially a wireless charger is far too much.

I have a Logitech Proteus spectrum and I can say that even without the weights in it is too heavy to get an actual upperhand in competitive gaming. I would recommend getting the Glorious model O. Better than final mouse and only $49.99. You could compare it to final mouse but final mouse is only better by being 7g lighter, other than that the model O does everything else better such as Max Dpi, comforbility, variation of colors and rgb, and htz. Plus final mouse products are $240+ because ninja signed his name on it and they are milking it by being a low stock company.

[@D.Eldon_]

There's another reason to be wary of the G502: *the Omron switches fail prematurely.* The "mechanical life" specification for the switches is totally bogus because it is based on no-load testing which does not mimic real life. The Omron switches for the primary buttons in my G903 began to fail after 7 months. A single click would fire a double-click instead. And the primary switch would suddenly release in the middle of a drag. Logitech replaced my mouse with another new G903 and the same thing began to happen after only 6 months. I'm very careful with the mouse, I have a gentle touch and am never heavy-handed with the mouse. Doing research on the internet revealed that other G903 _and_ PRO users are having the same trouble. My concern with the G502 is that it will also have the problem. Logitech offered to replace my G903 again, but my patience was gone. I discovered that Logitech uses the Chinese version of the Omron switches. I purchased the Japanese version from Digi-Key and replaced the switches, myself. This was a fairly detailed procedure. The disassembly of the mouse requires many steps. The two most difficult tasks were prying out the soft Li-Po battery without damaging it and removing the old switches. You must be extremely careful not to overheat or damage the tiny circuit boards when you de-solder the old switches -- and you must have a very good solder sucker. When installing the new switches, you must be extremely careful not to overheat them when you solder them -- the soldering iron cannot be too hot, you must be quick (less than 10 seconds) and each switch must be allowed to cool after each pin is soldered (before soldering the next pin). Since replacing the switches with Japanese-made Omrons, the mouse has worked extremely well. The Japanese switches are made to a higher standard (better internal design, tighter tolerances, less dust can get into the switches, and the operating force is more consistent). But replacing the switches isn't a job for a novice -- you need serious mechanical and soldering skills. I also have a PowerPlay wireless charging mouse pad. If it weren't for the switch problem, this would be the nicest mouse I've ever used (I used a Sensei MLB for several years before switching to the G903).

[@avluis86]

Couldn't have summarized the issue better myself. Logitech should be ashamed for trying to save a few cents on a cheaper switch on what is supposed to be a premium mouse!

[@AdmiralXyes]

My almost 3 year old G600 is now exhibiting this behavior. I admit this new mouse is very tempting, even more so with a mouse that's starting to fail. That being said, how would I go about looking for a different mouse with proper, well made switches?
