The Logitech G 502 X Lightspeed is for sure an interesting mouse. Could 13 programable buttons make it the BEST gaming mouse? Is this wireless gaming mouse REALLY worth the $140.00 USD price tag?? Is there really any difference between the G502 X Lightspeed and the G502 X Plus? Let's find out if the Logitech G502 X Lightspeed can keep up with the competition.

Use any design software for 8+ hours a day, and trust me, you'll find a use for ALL OF THE THINGS.. I mean buttons.

[@TheRageAcademy]

Lol, it’s definitely nifty in programs like Adobe Premiere, Aftereffects, and Photoshop

[@tomasreomedia]

Then please do share some tips on what you use them for 😇 Personaly I found the "sniper" button great for DPI shift for more precise masking or retouching. But besides that, I never really put in the effort to fully utilize application profiles and create some custom button assignments 😅

[@christiantgolden]

Same for software development

[@arkaprabhachakravarty1697]

Awesome video... Although I'm running pretty late on viewership... How is it performing until now? I was thinking of getting one for myself....and in case of the basilisk v3 pro will it last longer?

[@dukkiegamer1733]

​@@tomasreomedia I a similar mouse for After Effects. I used the buttons to center anchor points, center/allign objects, cut layers, split layers, ctrl-z and probably more. I haven't used it in a long time. In Photoshop I would probably bind my 3-4 most used tools to the side buttons, then one for applying a mask, if possible maybe bind an action (I believe that's what Photoshop's macro's are called?) to a button if you use those often.

[@Re-InCarNation]

To me what makes the G502 so appealing is that it rides the line of productivity and gaming so well. It has most of the ergonomics, buttons and features of the MX master but the sensor and wireless latency of a G pro wireless. Kind of like a BMW M5, the comfort, features and usability or an executive car but the engine and steering of a sports car.

[@TheRageAcademy]

This is very true! I wish they kept the G502 mouse paddles the same on the new variant. It works out poorly for people with thick fingers like me. Also wish it was a little cheaper

Extremely underrated channel. Man just tells it as it is. No BS. Amazing job! It's exhausting to watch a 30 min video of people reading from the spec official website and call it a review. "Ffs just tell me why it sucks or why I should buy it!"

[@TheRageAcademy]

Thank you so much! I try my best to be objective with the equipment. I'm glad you noticed. Thanks for the kind words, friend. Comments like these keep me going. I should have more content coming soon!

[@youcantcatch]

13 buttons are great specially when editing videos and photos. Had the G502 Lightspeed and once i got used to it, my editing speed increased by a good amount

[@BW022]

Yes. It works extremely well for developers and web users -- browser back, forward, close tab, developer tools, refresh, etc. plus editing commands undo/redo, search, cut, paste, etc.

[@insertnickhere5022]

As a person who uses all the buttons for gaming and school work, at like 90$ this was the perfect upgrade from my old wired G502

[@TheRageAcademy]

$90 for the game g502x lightspeed is an insane deal.

[@varadvithalkj1716]

same

[@lewisdezoete416]

I do use most of the programmable buttons on the g502 Hero, which technically has 13 programmable buttons. When I'm editing videos, I'm using standard left and right clicks (2), DPI shift (3), play/pause (4), cut and select tools (6), fast forward (7), delete (8), scroll right and left (10), scroll up and down channels (12) and occasionally use middle mouse for saving (13), but usually do it with my keyboard. It is incredibly efficient for niche applications, but for most games or normal computer workflow 13 buttons is overkill.

[@TheRageAcademy]

Daang. That’s super efficient

[@drumsmoker731]

Although I agree that 13 buttons is overkill for gaming (except maybe some strategy games), but it's still nice to have more options for which button you want to use, based on feel & comfort.

[@adrianborinsky2989]

I'm using every single button on PUBG, sniper button for discord push to talk, G4 and G5 for crouch and hold aim, G8 and G7 for map and meds, G9 for ping, and scroll left and scroll right to switch weapons

[@insta_725]

I have the G502x it's an upgrade version of the G502. It beats the old G502 in reactivity, weight and switches.

[@TheRageAcademy]

On paper... It ticks all the boxes

[@WhosMathew]

here's my two cents. The g502 has defintely checked all the bars for me. I am a competitive FPS who has hit masters In Apex Legends. I used to use a g502 originally that was modded with better switches with removed post travel, the mouse was drilled for maximum weight reduction. I actually use the the dpi switch buttons. I use them to switch weapons, because on apex i am only going to be switching two weapons. and use the sniper button to loot. and one of the side buttons are for hold crouch and an ability. this works for me so I can switch weapons while aiming, crouch while moving, or use an ability. This allows me to focus on my movement with my keys with no important buttons being near my movement keys. I play with 3 fingers on my mouse, one to shoot, what to jump with scrollwheel, and one to aim. i use everything on my mouse so i can aim at you while i am changing, dodging, using an ability or jumping away. I just got a g502x without rgb and it weighs the same at my weight reduction moddeed g502 original. My movement in apex is above most players i go against, along with my aim. The weight is definitely managible and adds stopping power so i can use a high dpi and high sense to loot quick and move around fast as well. Its really working for me. Using a heavier bastilisc without certain features. would definitely put me at a disadvantage. The new 502 x is definitely an upgraded. I cant imagine this thing modded.

[@donlee4238]

I use the button on mouse button 1 to loot. It makes the game so much more fun. I really do like the g502. I wish it could be a little lighter. Im glad they got it down to almost sub 100g. But if the next version make its to around 70g or even lower. It will be the best mouse ever.

[@donlee4238]

Button on the top of mouse to loot*

[@WhosMathew]

@@donlee4238 agreed!

[@zsrp.]

Liked the review but it was funny when he said what are you doing if you are using all 13 buttons, and proceeds to name 9 of them he uses

[@TheRageAcademy]

Those extra four got scratching my head man

[@HolographicLotus]

Very good production quality in this channel. There is strong potential here. Keep up the good work man.

[@skeletony4718]

Can I use all 13 mouse buttons in games? Do games support those extra mouse buttons to be keybinded?

[@TheRageAcademy]

Yup! I haven’t come across a game yet that hasn’t supported all the buttons. I play CS, R6, Overwatch, PUBG, Apex, and others and haven’t had an issue yet. Hope this helps!

[@dtmusic819]

Sucks to hear you don't recommend it because I been keeping my eye on this one for Black Friday deal. I'm upgrading from my 15 year old mouse the G500 lol. I'm hoping on Black Friday it will push the price down to near $100 or less. I think that would be a great deal.

[@TheRageAcademy]

If anything, If you really wanted all the buttons, you can get the previous generation G502 wireless on sale for $70-80. That's waaaay more worth it. I'm trying to stay away from Logitech since their new CEO is trying to promote monthly subscription fees to use the features of your mouse. Greedy Logitech strikes again

[@osmium_fps6082]

yes i use all 13 buttons, for what,? go play escape from tarkov and you will understand.

[@TheRageAcademy]

I totally get that. I used to play Arma. Kinda the same feels

[@sciencepolitique6443]

When will they come back with a G604 upgrade that could be linked to G915 M1 M2 M3 profile buttons? I would like to choose and see the mouse profile with and on my keyboard G915 M1 M2 M3 profile buttons. A light indicating the selected profile on the next G604 could also be nice. G602 and G604 are the only one that uses since 2013. I count only 11 programmable button on the G502 when my G604 have 13. Now CORSAIR offers the DARKSTAR WIRELESS RGB MMO Gaming Mouse with 15 Programmable buttons. If LOGITECH doesn't come back with new G604 (I don't want the G502), I will probably have to change for the DARKSTAR which seems to be a logic and nice improvement.

[@moonabhinav]

Never going to get Logitech again I have ended 4 g103 coz of double click issue, then I got g604 again in 6 month double click issue. Then I tried g403 which lasted for a 1year and double click. I decided to mod g604 with optical micro switch, which was way difficult. Still double clicks in another year. For past 13 years I used Logitech and all ended in a year or 2. Logitech don't want you to repair you mouse it very difficult to repair them and all of them have double click issue. My frnd facit level 10 bought Logitech G Pro superlight and really liked it's shape it also start double click in a year. Good thing was Logitech gives warranty of 2 year so you can take your mouse to them and get a new one but again the new one they send gets faulty in a year. Is this planned or something. Why can't they allow user to replace switch easy like other brand are doing now. I think this is same case with all bigger brand Example Razer steel series, benQ etc. Where are newer companies like Asus, cosmic byte offer to remove and replace switch with innovative design but comes with very crappy software which some time feels like a malware. Only Logitech mouse i had good experience with was mx518 which has lasted me a dacade and still no double click although i replaced its keys many time just of experience.

[@TheRageAcademy]

What’s the RMA process like? I’ve heard about double clicking issues but i think I ended up modding my analog mice before that happens. I actually emailed Logitech recently too asking about user repairability for the light force switches. It’s been 3 days and I haven’t heard back All the nice software out there is complete bloatware. Check out my video on the Wooting 60HE keyboard. Their solution is amazing. You don’t need software to run their keyboard. You just customize it through a webUI and write your changes to the device memory. 10/10 feature. I hope we see it come to mice

[@moonabhinav]

@@TheRageAcademy I my case I live in India, Bangalore service center here supports mail. I packed my mice when ever they failed with a application stating the the issue. And left the invoice. After 2 week they send me back a new mice. Although this was mostly done with G604 and Superlight. Never tried to claim warranty of g104 as they only came with a year of warranty.

[@clips5552]

im still using the original.... i use my superlight for fps games and swap back to g502 for everything else the weight is noticeable at first but not only is the shape perfect for my hand i absolutely love the all metal scroll wheel its perfect. Although i will admit i am tempted to get a basilisk v3 pro

[@TheRageAcademy]

Try the Basilisk. It’s great. The mouse wheel is light years ahead of anything else. Return it if it doesn’t meet expectations but at least try it

[@senokertonegoro4999]

Mapping of 13 buttons in Doom/Doom Eternal: DPI up: Heavy cannon DPI down: Plasma rifle Scroll up: Chaingun Scroll down: Rocket Launcher Sniper button: Ballista Mouse 5: Super Shotgun Mouse 4: Combat Shotgun Edit: Scroll side: Change Grenade type Scroll click: Chainsaw the fcukers Profile Change button: Map/Tac Primary/secondary clicks as usual Would I recommend anyone play like this ? Probably not for competitive play, but it's fun as hell just try having some intuitive keybinds on a single hand instead of fumbling with keyboard switches. Actions are also faster, sadly weight is one limiting factor for this mouse. It's fun to have it around every once in a while for casual gaming.

[@TheRageAcademy]

Daaangg. This is the response I was looking for. That's a pretty neat setup. I agree about the weight. When this mouse goes on sale, I think it's good value but overall I think Logitech could lower their prices a bit. Super cool you're able to do all of that on the mouse though

[@cristianlira9778]

I would use mappable buttons for MMOs, nice for quick access when you have a lot of skills and running out of reachable keys on your keyboard.

[@TheRageAcademy]

Would you worry about fat fingering? In the heat of the moment I seemed to be hitting them way too often.

[@GroteGlon]

​@TheRageAcademy I have very large hands because I'm a very large man and I didn't fat finger the buttons even once so far. It might just be a skill issue.

[@TheRageAcademy]

Could be

[@donlee4238]

@@TheRageAcademy I dont fat finger it on my old g502. but u said its even tighter mouse click space. So perhaps i should stick with old model. I use the top button (one on the left mouse button) to loot (use). it makes it very nice, i am able to loot while running in any direction, feels solid.

[@TheRageAcademy]

@@donlee4238 The older G502 is definitely more generous with the spacing. The new G502 lightspeed's M1 & M2 have a taper to them, so they get thinner at the ends.

[@mpauls85]

I love mice with many buttons even for shooters. Grenades, Fire Modes, Healthpacks, Abilities, Crouch, Prone, ... I put everything on the mouse. Only actions I keep on the keyboard are reload, jump and "use". I currently use a Roccat Tyon and it is very difficult to find a replacement for it. This might be an option.

[@TheRageAcademy]

Honestly, using grenade on mouse is where it’s at. You don’t lose the ability to move around trying to reach the “g” key

[@armand2900]

I'll give you two alternatives to the speed wheel that I find more useful (I do find the speed wheel very unnecessary) - Home/End keys on the keyboard: Take you to the top/bottom of any website. - Press & Hold Middle click (wheel click) and drag UP/DOWN, you will scroll very fast without the need of the wheel. I personally do use many buttons. I use things like Volume Up, Volume Down, Alt+Tab, Esc, Del, Backspace, Discord mute/unmute... + the usual ones.

[@1kevinkat]

I use Autocad, Revit and play WOW, ESO and New World, i need more buttons.

1.-2. L/R Click, 3. Middle Click (usually pan tool), 4.-5. Ctrl+C Ctrl+V, 6. Close Window, 7. Minimize Window, 8. Alt+Tab, 9. Enter, 10. Double Click, 11.-12. Back/Forward (or Next/Prev Image/Page or Wireless View / Maximize Window in Blender), 13. Software specific task, e.g. Isolate Mode in Blender. 14.-15. Mouse Wheel for scrolling/zooming. I could use much more, if my G700s has more buttons. More control in right hand you have, the better. It's a shame, that Logitech reduced number of buttons on his newer mouses. I don't know which one I will buy, after my G700s stop working.

[@djbshow1]

Pushing the scroll wheel to the left or right that’s another customizable option. I customized mine: left - minimize all windows, and right - lock screen

[@kodiod]

This is the best standalone productivity mouse for my needs. My company limits our programs, so any special functions need to be in the onboard memory. I use all programmable buttons. Sniper button is for G shift. Holding it lets me scroll horizontally on spreadsheets and tilt the scroll wheel to move through sheets in a workbook. Buttons on the left click paddle change the DPI for precise mouse work (writing, selecting thin objects). The other two thumb buttons are for navigating back and forward on browsers, file explorer, etc. Whenever I need to work on someone else's computer, I bring this mouse with me. The major downside is that you can't program any macro in the onboard memory. Some just don't work.

[@TheRageAcademy]

Daaanng. Thanks for the insight. I was curious about that. I can never get the macros or rebinding in the software to work correctly. What's weird is, on the G502x Lightspeed it lets me bind M4 to scroll up turbo but doesn't let me do the same on the Superlight. Weird.

[@simonmalmo7008]

Hello! Do you still have this mouse? Does your scroll wheel rattle when you shake the mouse or put your finger on the scroll wheel and moving it rapidly to the left and right without pressing the sideclick? I just got this mouse and that really bothers me, that my scroll whell is not "solid" in place. I made a video of my new mouse: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6W4ladrj9-liLM

[@TheRageAcademy]

Hey there bud! I still have this mouse and yes the mouse wheel rattles like a son of a gun. If you shake the mouse, you can hear it move. With your finger on the mouse, it is very loosy goosey. For some people this is a deal breaker. For me it is, for some of my friends it is not. If you don’t like this mouse wheel I would highly recommend checking out the Razer Basilisk V3 pro. I made a video about it and it’s mouse wheel is MILES ahead of anyone else. Similar shape to the g502x, 11g heavier, but it doesn’t have the extra buttons on m1. I hope this helps, pal!!

@@TheRageAcademy Thanks for the reply! I'm a bit divided as I really like the mouse...except the scroll wheel, sounds kind of bad to.

I looked into the razer mouse but I play Squad and kinda bought it for the extra buttons. Cheers!

@@simonmalmo7008 gotcha, the extra buttons can be nice to have. It looks like modding might be the only way. I can tell you mine brand new out of box acted the exact same way

[@simonmalmo7008]

@@TheRageAcademy I returned the mouse and got a basilisk v3 pro, super happy. The store I bought it from said all their g502 x sounded and felt the same. I do think there exist a good version of the g502 x as looking at these videos where there appears to be no rattle and the actuation of sideclicking appears to be immediate (the clear plastic base that holds the scroll wheel has to be tight) so I suspect there might be different factories or serial numbers that are of different quality floating around. No rattle: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mGbGlKyga7VsY8Usi=tOiAhCsPER0Vwe5l&t=162 Sidescroll actuation: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXSzc4SXip2ci9Esi=NcWmXfGEYbFDIb2-&t=260 In any case, even if the scroll wheel would be tight I think the Razer would sound and feel better anyways.

I USE ALL 13 buttons for editorial typesetting work (InDesign and Photoshop!)

[@Justlegos]

I’m particularly interested in the mouse as someone that streams and needs a a few push to talk, mute, and other buttons for streaming. I also am coming from the Mx master where I use the heck out of the horizontal scroll for both programming and rendering / photoshop and video editing. Logitech’s warranties have been amazing to me in the past (I have a 7 year old Mx master that got replaced free of charge after a superglue incident haha). I don’t want a super “gamery” or loud sounding mouse as I don’t want it to get picked up on stream and seems like I could also potentially bring it into the office (although Mx master just might get moved into the laptop bag)

Top 2 side buttons will be for 7 slot inventory items(most of time that item will be an action item) and the other one is for teleportation.the middle scrolling button will be used for heroes truant action. And left and right buttons on middle scroller will be used for hero voice chat and other chats. And the left solo button will be for the dagger. small 2 buttons used for hero selection specifically for illusions heroes like pl ck and naga and the other is for focusing camera when playing tinker .

[@ThePashaplaybug]

As someone who does utilize all the buttons on the 502 and (waiting on arrival for 502X). I can tell you I use them mostly bound as function keys above F12 (F13-F24). Additionally I can use the wireless powerplaymatt. Whilst it is expensive it is a worth it for me as a long term investment and I’ve been using a lot of different mice including the razer basilisk X. The side buttons I use for siege stuff usually the others I use for discord mute and deafen. (I change it up sometimes) also playing games like arma and Tarkov I have plenty of binding options

[@randomesteven3935]

Same, even in games, I can find a reason to use just about at least 6-7 of the buttons and that allows me to fully focus on just movement on my left hand. When my G502 light speed died due to a mishap, my cheapo replacement wireless just couldn’t satisfy what I needed it to do, so I got a G502X lightspeed

My G402 which i got for 4000Pkr ( 14 Dollars~) is pretty similar and very bang for the buck. same shape and love the extra buttons. Its 10x cheaper and yet the same

[@TheRageAcademy]

The real tip is always in the comments

[@Ihtifad98]

Which wireless mouse is better, Logitech G502 X Lightspeed or Razer Basilisk V3 Pro?

[@TheRageAcademy]

It’s all about the shape preference but I think the V3 pro offers more value for the cost. Don’t get me wrong I think both are overpriced but at least on the v3 pro they’re making innovative changes with the mouse wheel

[@mimxxz]

I had this mouse for some time. Everything was okay, but the scroll wheel sound was actually too much for me to handle. After office hours, I like to relax by reading something on my PC and the scroll wheel sounds so bad, I feel like chucking the mouse away. I am finally giving it away to someone who will appreciate it more.

[@TheRageAcademy]

I agree. The mouse wheel works like a loose wheel. There’s a lot of noise with it. Definitely not a “tight” feeling mouse wheel

[@andyye7858]

From where I live the 502 x lightspeed is half the price of the razer. No brainer for me😂my problem with the 502X tho is that the programmable buttons have a big delay of input.. still trying to figure it out…

[@TheRageAcademy]

Whattt?? No way, that’s crazy. What part of the world are you in because in the US they’re priced neck and neck (minus the old version still for sale) Are you experience the lag when you’re using wireless and wired modes?

[@deadraque]

I have a g604 and the only reason that this mouse stops me is because it has so little buttons, yes I use them all the time so that so said 13 is way too short. on most games i play (rpg's) i really need them and only having those 2 on the side is really lacking.

[@moonabhinav]

I can co-relate g604 is my work and daily use mouse, the side 6 butting are cut copy paste and play/pause next track and previous track , even I can map my volume to above 2 keys 😂.

[@Beefy1K]

try the logitech g600. has like 12 buttons on one side of it

[@jerome5969]

I bought g502x plus and after opening and as I tried the scroll wheel, I know I have to return it back. I will use the mouse for work and gaming but the scroll wheel doesn’t have travel on rachet mode, and in freescroll I can’t feel it is scrolling due to light material used. Maybe I’ll try thr razer basilisk one, thanks!

[@TheRageAcademy]

No problem! If you don’t mind the additional weight, the Razer Basilisk V3 pro mouse wheel is a work of art. It’s honestly perfect imo. Glad my review helped!

[@javvian]

I’m using all 13 for fortnite ngl. I pound with multiple. Take out guns with left and right on the wheel. Pick axe with top left buttons and more

[@TheRageAcademy]

I can totally see this mouse being abused for Fortnite

[@Outcast_VR]

I feel like this is a better choice for me than something like the superlight even if i never use the 13 programable buttons cos of the ergonomic design. I have big hands and feel like this would be very comfortable

[@TheRageAcademy]

I certainly feel like you get more value out of this than the superlight. The GPX has been overpriced for yeeaaarrrsss

[@DexTheMenace]

13 buttons for lost arc and for league and roblox

[@snookamusss]

I got mine for 60 bucks on sale, hopefully that value is a better fit for this one, I feel like after this I got a good deal, not the best mouse ever, but for 60 seems like a decent bargain

[@TheRageAcademy]

$60 for the Lightspeed is the deal of the century

[@alicethegrinsecatz6011]

I had a Razor mouse ones, it was the most expensive mouse I ever had and I hate the wheel. It felt so cheep like a cheap China plastic toy from the carnival. Just awful. Since this mouse, I consistently refuse to buy Razor, not just because of the wheel but the openRazor driver was so difficult to install and never worked. Logitech official software is awful in design but at least both, the official Windows software as well as the unofficial Linux drivers, just work and Piper is so much better than the most bullshit configuration software of the manufacturers. Same applied to Corsair. OpenRazor is in my opinion the biggest mistake Razor did in the last years. Don't do this. Just do enough that the mouse barely works without problems and let do everything else by random guy from the internet. These people know how to make free software for Linux, you, Razor & Co, not. I buy him or her a coffee from time to time and everyone is happy. Making official Linux drivers instead means nobody cares about getting the job done right.

[@TheRageAcademy]

That sucks man. Mouse manufacturers should really do what Wooting is doing and just remove software and have the mouse programmable by a webUI. That what you can just write everything to the mouse. Sucks that the driver support is trash too. Here’s to hoping it gets better. Maybe I’ll add a portion to my reviews on official OS support….

[@zombieimpact2790]

Honestly, I feel like I do better in first-person shooters with a heavier mouse. When using a lighter mouse, my hand comes off the mouse pad more often than with a heavier one, so I feel like most of the time, a heavier one is more accurate.

[@TheRageAcademy]

I’m a big believer in the “what ever works best for you” mentality. I honestly think a lot of the “lighter mouse = better” is just marketing. I remember a time where heavier mice were considered better quality but times have changed

[@jinxPad]

if they took off the additional buttons on left click, it'd be an instabuy for me.

[@TheRageAcademy]

My thoughts exactly pretty much. Everything was great about the mouse except cost and usability for my fat fingers

[@BlackRay313]

I used many mice , like the finalmouse poseidom m+s , tenz medium , superlight , viper v2 , Dav2/3 , zowie ec1-3cw , ninjutso sora and many more Today i just felt like getting my old g502 hero on the desk , i hate wired mice but man did it felt good on valorant , just ordered the lightspeed x cause it's on sale rn I started getting into the fps scene like valorant , cs , apex with the g502 hero and loved it many years in my league of legends time And now the circle closes , maybe i found my endgame mouse , with the upgraded version i always loved and started it all

[@TheRageAcademy]

The OG g502 was awesome. One thing to be careful of is how large the m1 and m2 paddles are on the lightspeed variant. I wish they did a 1:1 modeling on the old chassis and the new but they didn’t :(

[@pondwaterjr]

i use all of them in tarkov, "VOIP, cange optic, zero+ -, change zoom, reload, grenade, ads, shoot, free look," all on the mouse lol

[@TheRageAcademy]

Is the Tarkov button mapping similar to Arma? If so you need as many shortcuts as you can get

[@dylanholland3687]

Fortnite, mouse wheel push left for pickaxe. Push right for weapon slot 5. Scroll up reset build. sniper and back side button stair and wall. Mid side button edit. Front mouse click button ping back map

[@TheRageAcademy]

Dang. Well there it is

[@BeardedGinger]

My trick to fat fingering the mouse with the G8 being right there is I rest my finger against the scroll wheel and keeps my finger away from the two side buttons. I use them for nades myself. I had a baslisik v3 for a while but i cannot stand razer software as there is NO onboard memory need to be connected to the interent all the time and they have really shitty protection for information leaking.

[@TheRageAcademy]

My fingers are too fat or I’m too unskilled to pull it off. I gave it a shot in apex specifically for using grenades and it kept stopping me in a firefight to pull up the grenade wheel. Razer synapse is horrible. It’s 100% bloatware and it will just update even when you disable auto updates. The logi software is better. Wish everything ran on memory though. Would much rather write any changes to device with a webui

[@sethcampbell6523]

For the work I do outside of gaming it’s a good mouse I got it for a hundred bucks recently and it’s been great. Grew up using cheap mice so the scroll wheel doesn’t bother me and feels natural in my mind. Razor does sound better

[@TheRageAcademy]

A $100 is an insanely good deal for this mouse. If it were at that price all the time I would be recommending it. All in all it’s a super nice mouse, I’m just tired of Logitech and other companies price gouging mice 😅

[@RubySapior]

I macroed everything for browsing use. Sniper button to change audio sources. 2 new side buttons for macro to speed youtube up or down. Not too sure what to use the side to side on the scroll wheel tho.

[@TheRageAcademy]

That’s what I’m stuck on too!

[@Growla]

I did not like the coarse scroll wheel detent graduations on the G604. Can anyone comment on how the G502 X compares?

[@TheRageAcademy]

The G502 x doesn’t have much grit to it but you can feel every bump. It’s more loosey goosey then other mouse wheels. Infinity mouse scroll is nice but there is some wobble. Overall decent mouse wheel but not the best

[@cau8777]

Its bad for fat fingers and even worst for long fingers, the mouse fells super small

I use all the buttons in starfield except for the scrollwheel side buttons and middle button. I have -map -quest -grenade/missile -heal(ship and on foot) I once in a while use the sniper button. I think this mouse is amazing. Also as a newcomer to the g-hub I really like this software. I also like the g-shift. In windows I often misclicked some buttons when putting away the mouse and when picking it up when booting windows also I sometimes pressed the mouse wheel side buttons when scrolling and I just bound them to g-shift and now I never misclick in windows. Buttons are all in good locations on the mouse. I would definitely recommend the G502x lightspeed.

[@jvmusicph]

i used g04 for 7years. good thing its battery operated. Im worried in the long run for non battery operated wireless logitech. thoughts?

[@TheRageAcademy]

[@IGreyfoxxI]

I loved the pedecessor, the "G502 Proteus Core". It felt valueable, and the wheel was made of metal. Clicks had clear haptical clicks, but gave no harsh feedback whatsoever. The "G502 X Lightspeed" as the descendant appears to be a shadow of its "mother". It's extreme lightweight, it's plastic, clicks feel "hollowish"...

[@pritamraha4369]

mouse button 7 : Shift Left-> mouse button 8 : Shift Right-> mouse button 4 : Ctrl - mouse button 5 : Ctrl + i got this(lightspeed x) from logitech during promotional discount under 90$, in indian rupees 7080/- I ditched the Razer mouse because of their poor after sale services in India.

Are you using those mouse buttons as hot keys for coding? What’s the Razer India support. In the US, I’d say it’s mediocre. Sometimes their website doesn’t function correctly

bought one of these as an upgrade to the g502 lightspeed wireless, after a couple of months the right and left mouse buttons would intermittently stop working... then stop working altogether, never had a logi mouse fail in this way in over 30 years of using logi products

[@TheRageAcademy]

Dang, that’s rough. One of the drawbacks of the lightspeed switches in the ease of repair. If they were still the analog switches, you could just swap them 😞. Did you RMA the mouse? What was that process like?

[@moonabhinav]

2year of waranty is good service they have is good as well. But durability is not so good double click issue and mouse becoming dead is common if you see community page.

The switches prevent double clicking, you forgot to add

[@BatmanNinja420]

They might do that, but i think they've compromised on the quality of the switches. I'm receiving my 3rd g502x anytime this week. The problem has always been the switches.

[@TheRageAcademy]

WHAT?? I had no clue people had issues like that. Keep me posted on how it goes with the mouse. Did they have you send the mouse back for repair or just give you a new one?

@@TheRageAcademyHonestly, the Basilisk v3 is the best feeling mouse I've ever owned. But the software is so insufferable that I've bought the g502. I'm hoping the software treats me better lol.

[@savydaniel]

I use 6 on my g502 lightspeed wireless, for productivity and gaming. Today I'm getting the 502X lightspeed and I will map the same macros and functions, on the same buttons. As examples (since you said "please"): the "sniper" button it's handy to be used as "use" key (whatever that might be in your game of choice, it's usually E). G5 is always used for in-game voice chat. In productivity, sniper is prntscr, G5 is copy, in the general profile. G8 is F12 in firefox/chrome. Sniper is ripple cut, G5 is "end", g4 is comma key, in premiere pro. All I hope is that the issue with the double click (and drag&drop) which I experienced with my 502 is no longer present in the X variant, because I already changed the left microswitch once and I don't wanna do it again (tedious work). Good thing I have 2 PCs and I can have the same config for mouse on both. But damn, you have a ton of mice, my dude. Do you ever use all of them?

[@TheRageAcademy]

Hahaha, I did say please. Thanks 😊 The double click issue should be fixed with optical switches, so I wouldn’t fret too much about that. I do manage to cycle the mice pretty frequently. It really depends on my mood. Sometimes I just want to use a superlight, other times I may want to use a deathadder. I bring some to work during the day to use so I’m not stuck with normie Dell mice all day, but I manage to put a good amount of hours on them before I put out a review. Sometimes I get too use to the shape on one (like the deathadder) and it can be weird using anything else for a bit. I got a really really freaking weird mouse coming in soon that uses keyboard switches instead of mouse switches. That will be fun

[@enricobononi8655]

you didnt mention that logitech has 2 buttons more than razer which makes a significant difference

I use the g502 lightspeed and use 11 buttons on it. So much easier to switch between guns, grenades, inventory, map. Rather than having to worry about moving during game play and have to switch guns on keyboard during a gun fight. I can move and switch on the fly. I just tested the Asus Spatha, complete trash. side buttons are terrible placement, no thumb grip besides the button itself which you will press when moving your mouse during a gun fight. Buttons are also confusing due to their size difference.

[@TheRageAcademy]

My buddies who put all their FPS bindings on the mouse have said the same about the side button placements

[@Evoxyoutube]

@logitech is the best mouse on the market. I just bought a asus spatha by far the worst mouse. Buttons on left are terrible, with no thumb grip

Everyone chooses equipment according to their preferences. If someone has thick fingers, then he does not buy the G502X. One person prefers Razer another Logitech. Between these mice G502X / Razer V3 there is no difference for the average person, am I wrong?

[@TheRageAcademy]

I agree but I think there’s plenty of difference between the G502x and the Basilisk V3 pro. I think the basilisk V3 Pro is the overall better built mouse and has far more engineering put into it. It has the best mouse wheel on the market right now imo. It does weigh about 11g more though. Razer certainly copied the design of the G502x but I think they have a better execution on the design/engineering

[@dzielnymaytoster]

@@TheRageAcademy I use the G502 X (cabled version) and it weighs 79g. I don't think it's a perfect mouse, the scroll is audible. I guess its competition is Basilik V3 and from what I noticed, they differ in the grip of the hand? I know for sure that the G502 X is not a mouse for people with large hands. It seems to me that the G502 X is rather for people who have a fingertip grip? It's just my thought. Of course Razer also makes great gear. I will be grateful for correcting me :)

[@TheRageAcademy]

@@dzielnymaytoster I'd say the grip matters only because of the additional buttons on M1 on the Logitech G502x. So, for me you're kind of forced to use finger tip grip. My fingers are too big to use the G502 X. My pointer finger is wider than M1 is narrow. (on the newer models) Otherwise, I find both of the mice very comfortable. The biggest part to me is that the Basilisk v3 feels like a better constructed mouse. I think more time went into developing the Razer scroll wheel over Logitech. I also think both companies ask a little too much $ for either mouse

[@dzielnymaytoster]

@@TheRageAcademy Got it, thanks for the feedback :) I agree that scrolling in Razer is better and mouse is great. Do you know maybe, how plastic behaves in white mice? Will it retain its white, bright color over time? Will there be discoloration over time and it is better to replace it with the black version?
