Logitech G502 X & X Plus Take the Crown! | Review

[@Techtacula]

For everyone who has commented on my fingernails, I hear you guys loud and clear lmao and it has been addressed. But anyway, What do you think of these new mice? Will you be picking one of them up?

[@MSJChem]

Got one yesterday - a nice mouse overall but the switches have a very pingy sound.

[@feedtheagle6851]

I loved the G9x, the G502 caused my hand to cramp. No more logitech for me, that shape is way too steep. Viper Ultimate all the way.

[@depthcharge6215]

I will keep my Corsair Nightsword RGB.

[@Trifler500]

I absolutely love my wired G502. I will buy a G502 X wired if I find a legitimate improvement or if I simply need another mouse.

[@JathraDH]

If it fixes the horrible scroll wheel issues the G502 has then in an instant. Going to a plastic scroll wheel though seems pretty bad, it might fix the moment of inertia problem the G502 has but it also means less inertia for long flicks.

[@techwithrobbie]

The way you superimposed your hand on the mouse is a genius way to fully see how the mouse fits with your hand. Top production quality!

[@mortisusnoir3523]

the older G502 being heavy is actually one of my favorite features tbh

[@georgepierre3594]

heavy is terrible. Gave me tennis elbow when i play adc in league of legends. switch to a 60-70gram mouse, it went away. But then i played like 6 hours a day. Heavy is good, for precision, but is kinda bad for long periods of time.

[@Techtacula]

Reminder that gaming mice are based on preference :) If someone wants a heavy mouse, doesnt make it terrible, just terrible for someone who prefers a lighter mouse.

[@freedomballs69]

Most people who switch to a sub 60 gram mouse and make even half an hour of effort to get used to it love it and also noticeably improve in mechanical skill.

[@darksideofthemun3563]

Hey mate, a bit late, just bought one and wanted to thank you for the review. i have no doubt this channel will go far in the future!

[@Techtacula]

Aw that is so kind! Thank you! I've got many things cooking for the future :D

[@narwhal4304]

While I respect the G502 for it's legacy as a popular mouse for gaming, you *really* have to want the G502 shape, the extra buttons and/or USB C to buy the X/X Plus. On Amazon, the X Plus without RGB is 140USD, and with RGB it's 155USD. The G Pro Superlight is cheaper at 110USD while being a lighter mouse, and the only thing I don't like as someone who owns a G Pro Superlight is charging over Micro-USB. However, I'd be willing to bet that the existence of the G502 X Plus is the beginning of Logitech moving over to USB C on all their gaming mice.

[@Techtacula]

Yeah USB C is finally in that stage that we are seeing way more adoption for it. And absolutely, you will need to like the shape ofc, G pro superlight and this are completely different shapes, it just depends what you are looking for. Best thing to do though, wait for the powerplay to go on sale and grab that. Then no more needing to charge over micro haha

[@earthly_leopard6497]

i love the g502. in my opinion it is by far the best mouse. logitech is going to be stuck making it for a very long time. and in the event they drop production for whatever reason i have many more in boxes as backups lol

[@daDonn]

My double-click issue history: G9, G9x, (then I think it was a G403, but I forget the exact model), then a G502, and finally now another G502 Lightspeed. Why do I keep giving Logi my money?

[@Techtacula]

The X and X Plus use a brand new optical-mechanical switch so double clicking issues should be a thing of the past!

[@bgt2701]

You are the only reviewer I've watched on youtube that mentioned about the issue caused by making the center bridge flush. It was an issue I had to adjust for as well. Truely appreciate your review. Thank you.

[@Techtacula]

Thank you! I also agree, it was something I saw no one else mention either. Sometimes no matter how small something might be it's still going to come up for some. I try to take note of every little thing when I review something.

[@MrTheNickolas]

A a proud new owner of 2 white wireless ones, I can already confirm it's my favorite mouse I've had. It's replacing my g900 and my finances basilisk. Our only issue is lightning, it'll constantly revert back to whatever the out-of-box light setting is

[@Techtacula]

Nice! Hmm, if you have Ghub it shouldnt be reverting. Are you confusing the mouse using default start up lighting before ghub loads on your computers? There is an inactivity light setting that it goes to when the mouse isnt being used but you can change that.

[@twocent02]

Same I would love a mmo mouse but the look and wait of the g502

[@diGritz1]

Pretty sure that's the G700s. At least it is for me, even with the older sensor. I updated my switches years ago. Problem is they stopped making it and to buy new is anywhere from $200 to $400. Nice thing is there is a pretty good supply of rebuild parts.

[@yhiz4757]

My dream mouse is anything BUT a g502

[@cocopuffz604]

One thing to keep in mind... at around 40% battery life my scroll wheel became "inactive" to input. I though I broke it or it finally went bad. I ended up charging it to 60% and the scroll wheel went back to normal... Very odd. Either way, I've been using this for a few months. I'd rather get the wireless Shroud 303, but I like the options of buttons so this seems to be the only mouse that fills my current needs. I've got the 305 and the wired 303 and prefer the shape of those for claw grip, but they lack buttons. I like me some buttons.

[@Techtacula]

Buttons just open up a lot of options 100% Shrouds 303 is a great mouse in its own right absolutely. Although the issue with your scroll wheel and battery. sounds really weird. Maybe give ghub a reinstall and if it still persists reach out to support?

[@DrathVader]

I used a G402 way back in the day, then I switched to G603 and while it was good, it never felt right. Now I'm on G502 X Plus and it feels like home. Can't beat that shape and fuckton of buttons.

[@Techtacula]

They really did nail it so well didn't they.

[@sergie2822]

I like my new G502 X plus, it's super light and charges back up super fast with usb-c. But, after two weeks the rubber thumb rests started to show some wear and tear. It's a good mouse, just for 150+ you'd think it'd last a bit more.

Honestly, I got a g pro x superlight about 5 months ago- and I can't go back to a heavy mouse again. Like I absolutely love it, and feel my accuracy has been much more consistent with the lighter mouse. I have the g502 hero, then I went to the glorious model o wireless, then went to the superlight. I gave my mum the g502 just for a comfortable mouse for browsing the Internet etc, and my god everytime I use it I'm like holy crap this is heavy as hell!

[@Chris-cf1hs]

Same, I'm spoiled by the superlight. I would like a mouse with more buttons but now because of the superlight, weight is the biggest determining factor for me

[@droopx11]

Same. I can't use anything else for gaming anymore. I use a g604 for regular day to day stuff though for the buttons.

[@Djuntas]

To bad it does not have free scroll wheel g pro :(

[@Techtacula]

The G502 X and X plus do have the free scroll wheel :)

[@Techtacula]

Yeah totally understandable. I feel the difference too when I bring out the super light for any FPS game haha. End of the day it always comes down to preference

[@Revenant483]

Just got a 502 Hero a few months ago so I won't need to change anytime soon. That being said I am glad they continue to increase the quality and design of the original. I have a question, on the wired version do they still use a braded cable? Or did they switch to a soft plastic? I use my mouse a lot every day and the braded cable is much stronger than those plastic ones.

[@lesagraham3886]

It is now plastic not braided unfortunately, it feels cheaper than the 502 hero

[@nofearfam]

You know what makes it even better I bought a brand new one for $70 I took the wrapping off myself and yes it was the x plus wireless white version

[@ForourLord95]

One thing you didn’t mention is that the new one comes with a normal mouse cable. Whereas the old g502 came with a braided cable. I think for long term use the old g502 was actually better in this regard. I’d love to see a removable usbc for the wired versions. That way if the cable breaks at least you can replace it. Also all those buttons can be changed to whatever you’d like. It doesn’t have to remain dpi changing.

[@Techtacula]

I know that the buttons can be changed, I do mention it, but the fact remains that, no matter what the button was programmed to, I found myself accidentally hitting it a lot. I too would love to see detachable cables for wired only mouse though as well! Would add a slight premium but would be worth it for sure.

[@ForourLord95]

@@Techtacula I get that. It's personal preference. I don't have that issue. But I can see why that would be a turn off.

[@droopx11]

gpro superlight is my go to for gaming. Can't beat it. For regular use i still use my g604 which in my opinion is better than the g502 for the buttons and it's basically the same ergonomics as the g502

[@Techtacula]

I would LOVE for Logitech to reboot the G604 with the same treatment of the G502 X & X Plus

[@hellfrozen3678]

honestly with 12 buttons it has,I never assigned more than 1 layout for functions,so the button you usually use for switch I would use it for something else

[@Twisted_Biscuit]

I disabled the DPI profile switch even on my old G502. I have never found that I need different DPI profiles since you can change sensitivity in game as is, I still found that I could accidently switch profiles and never knowing if I was in the right profile. I also changed the DPI shift button to CTRL making it super easy for crouching in most games and zooming in and out of web pages with 1 hand. All the other buttons I mapped to keys on the keyboard which are easy to keybind in games for more complex moves.

[@DESTROY3R05]

wait holy crap sniper button to crouch is genius, im doing that

[@erikholum4772]

My sniper button is ALWAYS bound to push to talk for Discord. Might not be the best choice as it may affect my aim slightly, but I never seem to notice an issue.

[@AlphaBlue92]

Im considering this or the pro x superlight, thoughts?

[@Techtacula]

Different tier's of mice there. It's going to come down to whether you primarily play FPS or not. Because the Pro X Superlight will be better for that. But if not or you don't play often, and want something that would be a little more comfortable due to being a bit bigger, then the G502 X Lightspeed or X Plus is the way to go. Hope that helps!

Them changing the location of the sensitivity/DPI indicator was what I was worried about. Why on earth would they put it there? Looks like I'll be getting a replacement, not an upgrade to the "X" edition. I've had my original Proteus Core since 2014, and only just a few days ago did the switches finally start to act up/double click.

Damn thats a long lasting mouse! Good on ya!

[@shanemshort]

been using g502 mice since the proteus core was released, they have great support so while i have owned 3 of them i have only bought 2. an extension on the "sniper" button sounds great, i can't reach it at all so it just doesn't get used. i literally have weights in my mouse from an older mouse (including the weights that came with the mouse) because i like having a heavy mouse. but with the g502 hero maybe i am missing something, but i miss saving profiles onto the mouse. my proteus core and proteus spectrum both saved the profile to the mouse itself, but my g502 hero doesn't seem to.

[@gearsfan6669]

you call it the DPI Button, I call it Aim Button purely because I rebind right click to it for almost every game because when I first got an actual gaming mouse it was my dad's old Razer Naga and the right click was going out so I rebound it to 1 on the side buttons and now I can't aim any other way, it must be on my thumb same with whatever the crouch key is (varies by game) and whatever the inventory/journal key is plus I found the DPI I like and have gotten good with (1600 due to having a small mouse area which is what I always assumed DPI was actually meant for)

[@jty9631]

I like these mouses that have a lower thumb "Sniper" button, I use those thumb buttons heavily. The thumb button is actually the main point that makes me want to buy them, because I bind the thumb button to crouch which is used a lot in shooter games. The thing is, no one else really uses it as much as I do, so the reviews don't mention if there's any troubles with them. I switched from a G402 to a Razer Basilisk V3 and I was happy at first but the thumb button became loose. And with this new G502 having a removable adjustable button thingy, I question the durability of it. But if it ever became cheaper, I'd probably try this at some point. :P

[@Techtacula]

Yeah while many may use it as a dpi shift button, others like yourself will use it for common actions that frees up a key on the keyboard. As fas as duribility goes, all I can say is that the switch feels really solid and the cap is held on with a strong magnet so I dont think you would have any issues long term. It's benen 6 months so far for me and 0 issues.

[@Averagebloxfruitsplayer-mp6qu]

Do u guys recommend the G502 hero wireless? Because as a person who can easily lift smth as light as 110 grams and has hands that are 7 inches big, i see this as a good option but ive never used a gaming mouse before. (I dont like the position of the rgb lights on the G502x plus cuz i think it would be uncomfortable for my palm)

[@Techtacula]

Given those details then yeah I'd say so! Or the G502 Lightspeed instead, if you want to have the wireless functionality which is honestly really nice to have.

I saw a bit of an improvement over the lightspeed due to all the modern advancements of this. But then again there are more LED's on the X Plus for RGB, so it all comes down to how you like your lighting.

[@MrSagranda]

About the weight discussion. I'm probably one of those odd ones out, but I simply can't deal with those "lightweight" mice. It's why I put in all the extra weights into my current G502 and even after very long gaming sessions I am having no issues with my hands, wrists or arms. It also doesn't really feel "heavy" imho and I am far from being a physical fit person. I also always play way better on "heavier" mice. Be it for shooters (more in the past than today as I rarely play them anymore) or other games. It's more about the feel/how comfortable they are for a user than the actual weight imho. Moving "the weight" is also a kind of feedback. It feels sturdier, I am feeling more of the mouse and of my hand. Meanwhile the "lightweight" mice just feel...flimsy. They are just overall way more comfortable to me. One of my favorite mice in the past was the MX1000 which weighs 200 grams IIRC. It's also one reason why I dislike playing with the Nintendo Switch Pro controllers by now. My X-Box and the PS5 controllers just feel way better, partly due to the heavier weight.

[@audguy]

Just bought one three days ago, and have had to charge it twice. I started with the powerplay, but it couldn't make headway on charging it, plugged in the cable and let it charge while I slept. unplugged the USB cable and within half an hour it had lost 10%. I think I might need to take it back and swap it out. I am coming from the 502 lightspeed which I have had 2 with the double click issue.

I remember when you were mentioning this video during the Stream Room podcast, at the time my G604 was working great, though now it's having the double click issue. Really glad you mentioned this new G502 has different click switches and won't have the same issue. I'll keep the G502 X Lightspeed Wireless in mind as a possibility for my new mouse. (I overthink and spend so much time researching, not sure if I'll pick this up just yet) Though, I do wonder if they would re-release the older mouse models with the new optical-mechanical switches.

[@Techtacula]

Aw thanks for coming over to check it out Sport! Yeah due to how opti-mechanical switches work, you will only get possible double clicking if A. You are unfortunate enough to get a faulty unit which is uncommon but it happens and you just get a replacement, or B. You've had the mouse for 6/7+ years and the switches are getting close to the end of their rated life haha. As for other older models being refreshed, quite possibly! There are only 2 mice that they would give this treatment for. The G604 and possibly the G903 since that one was a true ambidextrous mouse. Some love for the left handers out there haha.

Hi, does qi charging work with any wireless charging base?

[@Techtacula]

Um so given you commented this on a video about gaming mice, I will start by saying that, your phone will not charge on the Logitech Power Play Charging Mouse Pad. It ONLY charges Logitech mice that have the power puck underneath. Regardless of whether your phone has Qi charging or not is irrelevant, the mouse But for regular wireless chargers, the short answer is yes. Qi charging is a standard that can be supported. So for example, if your phone supports Qi charging, then it can take advantage of wireless chargers that support Qi charging too. If its just a basic wireless charger, it will still work ofc, it just wont have the fast charging speed that Qi charging brings.

[@greenbow7888]

I have an original 502. I always found the side buttons hard to use. The first one is easy to reach. The second one I have to move my hand forward for, which makes it hard to use, and I barely use it. The sniper button I have never used because it's too far away. I thik it's down to how I hold the mouse. Have heard it described as like a claw, by a tech channel talking about mice. Whereas you lay your hand flat over the mouse in this vid.

[@Techtacula]

The reversible sniper button on the new one, makes it a lot easier to accommodate. But yeah, the grip varies from person to person on top of hand size and can really affect what your preferred shape will be.

I love the side button, they used to have a slogan, 'Never miss a headshot', i renamed it and use it to this day ''Never miss a screen shot'' lol Oh and btw you dont need to keep the Logitec software open, you can simply save it to onboard and close the APP, it will remember your saved preset.

[@Techtacula]

I've got some digital measuring calipers coming in so that I can accurately comment on stuff like this so ty for pointing it out! Yes with saving it to onboard, its designed to work like that but in actuality, its hit and miss when it wants to work. Just read some of the other comments here to see haha.

[@arkz7509]

it's hard for me to reach the sniper botton, because it stays too far ahead for me. In this new one, by changing its position, is it easier to reach???

[@Techtacula]

Yep thats the point of the new design. the extra lip on the button helps it accomodate way more hand sizes to make it much easier to reach.

[@VladKilljoy]

So this video popped up on my recommended without even searching previously for mice. I still have the original G502 that you could get for like 20$ before inflation so I thought to myself “why not.”. I really enjoy the g502 mice, even though I still use a controller for gaming, but these mice have always looked and felt great. I got to the end of the video and was about to click off when I heard you mention you wanted to hit 300 subscribers by the end of the year. This statement had me very confused and I was certain I had misheard what you said, so I stopped scrolling and clicked back on the video (mobile) to see if I heard correctly. To my disbelief , you do have less than 500 subs. You delivered some very high quality videos and as a CC myself in that 300-400 subscriber range, I noticed the hard work you’ve put into this video. Let’s get you to 1k subs, starting with this one from me!

[@LucaDePazzi]

Coming from the stream room podcast! Loved the video! Very well put together and informative

[@Techtacula]

Thank you so much! Appreciate you coming over Luca!

[@GalenCrayn]

What an awesome high quality video. I was so impressed I subscribed

[@nyg41909]

Wonder if this will have the same double clicking problem in the switches, which I had to swap out with the Razer Basilisk Ultimate hate the scroll wheel on it but zero double clicking!

[@Techtacula]

Given that they are optical-mechanical, its pretty much a non-existent issue anymore, given the only way for the switch to actuate is via the laser inside the switch. Razer has had quality issues for quite a while now so I've always had more faith in Logi. But only time will tell.

[@nyg41909]

@@Techtacula good to know they improved the switches. I dont like Razer and the reliance of having to have all their software installed, other than that ive had no issues where as with my 502 i did.

[@jimberry7865]

Can you make custom profiles for different games / applications?

[@ChinchillaByte]

Just switched to a G502 X Plus after 2 years of using a G Pro X Superlight with several different mouse feet. I love the way it feels in my hand, yes, it's heavy but don't be weak? 😂😂 All jokes aside this thing helps me track better so far in my games, I need to improve my flicking, but my aim is more consistent for sure with this one. I'm using it weird though... Index on G8 (Primary Click - Fire/Attack) Middle on Left Click (Secondary Click - ADS) Ring on Right Click (Left CTRL - Crouch/Change Stance/Slide/Dive) Pink on the right grip Thumb touching all 3 side buttons which are ( `~ - Push to talk for Discord for me, Forward - Lethal Throwables, Backward - Melee Attack or Tactical depends on the game)

[@Techtacula]

Honestly so awesome to hear! And yeah sometimes just having a more comfortable grip can make the difference and everyone has a preference for weight so I'm honestly so glad to hear its working out way better for ya! Top those leader boards ya legend

[@pantherb25]

dang bro you new more subs for how good you are keep up the good work :)

[@Techtacula]

Thank you so much! After years of consuming tech videos, I've made sure to pick up a thing or to XD

[@ploxarino2981]

Another thing to note: The grips on the G502 X are far easier to clean, you had to either scrub the G502's grips with a wetwipe for a few minutes to get any grime out, compared to a few clean swipes on the newer model.

[@Techtacula]

Absolutely! Given the timeframe of the review, I didn't get to a point of needing to clean the X but since then, 100% agree with this haha

[@sra6728]

Shouldn’t I just take the g502 with no rgb cz it consumes more battery

[@Techtacula]

The G502 X Lightspeed had not released at the time of me making the video and therefore was not considered in the review, but yeah if you want wireless but don't care for RGB, 502 X Lightspeed is the way to go.

[@loki76]

7:55 that would be even worse, lol. You would always hit it every time you'd want to press the side buttons or even just flicking the mouse with your thumb. Also, I don't hit that button at all when holding or using the mouse. That said, it can be disabled. You don't need to have all the 4 DPI settings either if you only use 1-2, or even one DPI setting. You can delete the other ones and just keep one. I always just put my mice to my preferred DPI setting, if I also use if for desktop apps, then I set a second preferred one.

[@Techtacula]

It's just my experience with the mouse that other people have also echoed in their experience too. But being raised higher than the previous model means more hand shapes & sizes will hit it. The solution isn't "Just disable it" because its a button I want to use that is available to me. I want it to change DPI because the other buttons are used for more frequent hotkeys/macros.

[@ganeryhyperion8386]

only one i dont like is the internal memory shift to all five memory, it blink the rgb by color it is easy to miss unlike the G502 hero it uses the three side led to incicate which internal memory profile

[@Omili]

Seems good mouse but I cannot move away from "mmo" mouses however Razer made the removable/changeable side panel which is absolutely perfect for me. using 6 button panel for FPS games and 12 button for MMO games and 3D-modelling etc. Definetly will try logitech mouses again if they ever make something like that and wireless.

[@Corpppse]

why do people complain about accidentally clicking buttons when you can simply disable any button in the software?

[@Techtacula]

Because if theres an available button to use, you would want to use it!

[@peterbejune9433]

You can delete all the additional dpi you don’t want in the software or just disable the button…I only run 800 or 1200

[@Techtacula]

You can but it doesnt change the core issue.

[@xiongh2001]

I don't know how your scroll wheel works but mine is practically inaudible in free scroll and you cant have tactile mode without something clicking into place.

[@TheFina1e]

I hope the rubber grips can last long on these. My old g502 lightspeed’s rubber started peeling after 1 year of use 😢

[@Seas0nedChef]

Would you take this over the Basilisk V3 pro?

[@Techtacula]

Hard to give a proper answer since I haven't used the Basilisk V3 Pro, however as far as build quality goes, Logitech has always had the leg up over Razer there.

[@Ervinnd]

Wonder if they'll ever fix their range problem my Razor mouses never stutter when its 7 feet away.

[@akira_asahi]

Thank you for the video. I am grateful for your time and contribution. Kind regards, Akira.

[@sordmasta6646]

i prefer heavy mice. and a cushy mousepad. else my aim is shaky. also, when will logitech relaunch the G9x ? preferably with a couple index buttons like this one. never had a more comfortable mouse for claw grip.

[@joshuakersman637]

the sharp edges on the original g502 hero were in fact so sharp that I once hit my hand on the button and it sliced me right open.

[@burgerbait]

After having various Logitech products fail, including 3 G502s which all broke in the exact same way (switch failure). I vowed to never buy another Logitech product again. Seeing those new switches almost swayed me until I remembered I'd have to deal with G-Hub again. I have a Corsair Ironclaw now and I think the bigger size is more comfortable for me, plus it has more programmable buttons. I just wish it had the options for wireless charging like the G502 has.

[@Techtacula]

Logitech absolutely nails convenience factor. (still waiting for wireless charging keyboards though XD) Switch quality has come A LONG way since the days of the first few G502's. I completely understand the hesitency given your experience. Also end of the day, all Peripheral software is never going to be perfect. Idk what everyone else's experience with G hub has been but the way it is rn is the best its been and absolutely better than a lot of others. Plus its not as intrusive either.

[@burgerbait]

@@Techtacula Wireless charging keyboards would be super nice. The last G502 I had where the switches failed was the G502 Lightspeed around 3 years ago so no doubt there's improvements. It's just hard to trust a company again after having so many products fail (I've had a lot of Logitech stuff besides my G502s). All my peripherals are corsair now and while I wouldn't say the iCue software is any better than G-Hub it is nice to just have everything controlled by one app and only have to deal with the issues of one app.

[@Techtacula]

@@burgerbait Absolutely. Can't fault your experiences there with constant faulty products. tbh you sound really unlucky hahahaha. But 100% agree its better and more convenient to have the 1 app for everything and Corsair is great in their own right for peripherals as well.

[@burgerbait]

@@Techtacula Yeah I think bad luck has definitely played a part. I know people that swear by Logitech and have had no issues but at the end of the day I have to go off my own experiences. I'm sure I'll try some Logitech products again in the future.

[@bwest0179]

You deserve way more subscribers than you have. I love the B-Roll and everything! Your channel is absolutely amazing! :)

[@Techtacula]

That is so kind! Thank you so much!

[@jstagzsr]

i use a corsair k95 platinum and a corsair nightsword mouse. I love em both but my 0 key has a bad green led which annoys me and im just overall bored of them. Ive been looking for a replacement to try but if its anything other than high end im gonna feel like its a downgrade. logitech in my mind is low end generic brand that over the years has grown into a pretty dope company. And the g502 x plus looks dope . i may have to give that a try.. BUT!!!!!!!!!!!! What software does logitech use? because if i have to use ANOTHER software im gonna jump off a cliff.. Not wanting to add another rgb software has limited my options a ton. MSI Dragon center - msi meg z390 godlike/ msi gxt 3090ti/ case argb/ case rgb. case fans asus aura - ryujin ii 360/ asus xg438Q corsair Icue - dominator platinum/ k95 plat/ nightsword The next pc i build will be ONLY 100% all from the same company (at least the things with argb/rgb) because it is a nightmare trying to make all these softwares work with each other. always has been.

[@gmnightfox]

What about left handed options?

[@Calquon]

I returned my G502X Plus. The mouse is great except for the scroll wheel/middle click which I use A LOT.

[@Techtacula]

Interesting. Scroll has felt good to me, 0 issues.

[@MegaTBlaster]

Definately have to try it in person first. The wired version may be too light and not nice to use. Does it still have the braided cable and ablity to add weights to it. Dropping those two things would definely be a downgrade. May have to go out and buy the older vesion before they stop making them.

[@Techtacula]

No braided cable sadly. Just a super lightweight rubber cable. No weight addition. Weight is always going to be preference but IMO I don't think you would need to go heavier than what it is.

[@innovance3788]

You know changing the dpi affects latency right? Why are changing the dpi instead of the in game sens??

[@Aonexia]

Can I use this on a Mac laptop computer? I’m curious…

[@Techtacula]

Absolutely!

[@brokenlava518]

I prefer heavier mice so I'll be sticking with my G502 Hero until I can get a ROG Spatha X... as for why I prefer the heavy ones it's cause they stay put better.(I have a heavy palm grip)
