A point worth mentioning, the wired version is 89 grams for $79. So if you don’t mind the wire, the weight and price comes down even more.

[@ethenjordan2010]

It’s the only mouse I’ll use. The button arrangement is perfect and no others do it quite like it. I used every button.

[@subywrex]

That’s exactly why I like the 502. I remap the sniper button for use with other short cuts. Also remap the dpi buttons when I launch games so I can use it for stuff like pinging. It’s just an all around great mouse. I’m happy and welcome the changes. I’m glad they didn’t make it a completely new mouse and upgraded some stuff like the switches and gave it a little extra customization.

[@kornkernel2232]

Yep, since I get my G502, I get why many people like this (or liked it until the lightweight gaming mice trend emerged). The problem I have with light weight mice, its just all about lightness anymore but they are basically just a normal mice. For most I guess that's fine, but I felt like I need a mice that allows me to actually do more since I don't use my PC only for gaming, I even do it for productivity and since pandemic, use for WFH use as well. G502 despite marketed as a gaming mice, is actually for me one of the best productivity mice out there, better than to even likes of well-regarded MX Master Mouse from the same company. The extra buttons are great for quick macro/shortcut functionality for different apps I used and for gaming as well, not needing to reach that certain function on the keyboard that is too far to reach with the fingers. I don't want to develop RSI in the long term, the buttons actually benefits ergonomics for me and makes me feel more efficient. I'm kinda disappointed that most mice and keyboards are indeed moved away from extra macro and dedicated keys for years. Felt like I'm paying more for less and very few options that offer one that now they became expensive because they became more niche.

[@razorwireclouds5708]

Same. Mapped everything on it in Doom Eternal.

[@Aturixios]

It's still not enough buttons for me, as an avid MMO player I need all the buttons I can get to assign macros and hotkeys to. Which is why I stuck to Razer's Naga Pro and its swappable sides, if I'm not playing an MMO, I can just use the 2- or 6-button layout.

[@kornkernel2232]

@@Aturixios Yeah for MMOs, those mice like Naga or even Logitech own G604 are better suited. I actually want to get those since those extra buttons would be sweet for productivity, but I'll wait for update of G604 assuming Logitech hasn't forgotten about it due to light mice trend we have these days. I want to have G604 but some RGB so I can assign it as profile indicator, and maybe same feel with G502. Idk how G604 feels though.

[@iXzenoS]

G502 is hands down the best mouse of all time. There's a reason why it's been the top seller for so long. Perfect weight distribution for stability and precision. Fits so ergonomically and works well for any use case including professional creative work as well as gaming. Having 3 customizable buttons just around the thumb is a god saver. Been using it since it was first released and can't wait to get my hands on my new G502 X Plus. Wish they'd shave off $50 or so from the price but I guess can live with that GOAT premium. Take my money Logitech!

[@kotapkfr]

It is the only mouse I will ever own, I’ve had 2 502 heros and just uprgraded to the white x. The lighter weight is nice and all but I do kinda miss the rgb. I will say though my palms do get a little sweaty on the shell material after a few hours

[@Chubzdoomer]

For me it's been the most durable, reliable mouse I've ever owned. I've had mine for 7 1/2 years now and even through very, VERRRYYY heavy usage it is still going supremely strong. Not once has the infamous "double click" issue ever reared its ugly head. Not once have I ever had tracking issues with it. Not once has its mouse wheel ever given me any issues. Really the only problem I've had is that over time, the rubber grip along the side has worn down significantly. Beyond that it still functions like a champ, which is incredible considering just how long I've had it and how much abuse it's taken.

[@M0n4rc]

I got this exact mouse and I agree that its very good. only thng I would change is to remove the thumb guard at the bottom (I play a lot fo fps games and i like to use my thumb agaisnt the mouse pad to stop my mouse)

I personally don't like lighter mice, so I'm glad they continue to make mice like these. I had the G502 Hero a couple years back and I loved it. I've since then switched to a Corsair Dark Core RGB Pro SE because I like the flanges in both sides, but seeing they updated it I'm considering giving the 502 another go.

[@Bruh-cj8pt]

Yea true , the click sounds quiet bad imo, and the redesigns take away what i love about the lightspeed that is the sharp curves , though the click is prone to double click but as someone who have been using the viper with the original optical switches for the past 2-3 years , im very confident to say that mechanical switches feels and sounds better than optical

[@vidya1856]

I agree. I don’t know what I was expecting but this feels like they just added new switches and changes up the bodywork to call it a day. Also, I prefer the look and feel of the old scroll wheel and I prefer the slightly heavier feel and the appearance of the old light speed

[@daizbid]

As much as I like lighter mice, I do a lot more than just gaming on my PC. G502 has always had the best balance imo between a productive mouse and a gaming mouse. The extra buttons, especially the 2 by the left click, plus the ability to scroll sideways, are super useful for things like photo editing. Light mice are amazing, but G502 will always be king for me.

[@PatrickBrophy]

I've owned every single iteration of the G502. It is the absolute perfect mouse for me. My current Lightspeed version with the charging pad is so damn good. It just needed to get a lighter version. It's a slight improvement, but not the drastic reduction I and everyone else was hoping. This new version will still be purchased by me very soon. I'm also old so IDGAF about RGB, so it'll just be the X version for me that doesn't have it.

[@spectrallmusic]

[@Asian_Import]

Really excited for the new switches. The only issues I’ve had with my G502s are switch failures. Double-clicking and ghost clicks are unfortunately very common after six months/year, and the culprit is the cheap switches. Hopefully this new model improves durability.

[@fetterchinese24]

These double click issue is a bit annoying. I mean, my second lightspeed doesn't have these problems (my first had Sensor and switch problems that randomly dissolved) I will wait several months that i can be shure that there are no problems with this mouse.

[@Speedkomodo]

i own mine since 2018 and had no issues since. Its the wired one though.

[@ericwindsor339]

I have the logitech g604 mouse which I'm pretty sure has the same switches as yours. It obviously sounds ridiculous, but try taking a deep breath and exhaling as hard as you can into the mouse underneath the primary and secondary buttons (left click and right click). Totally fixed my double clicking issues I'd been having for at least 6 months prior. Can't promise it'll work for you as well, but it's a fix that costs nothing and might potentially save you having to get a new mouse!

[@ahouat7913]

[@sanctus9857]

I've owned almost every iteration of the G502, when the lightspeed came out I was ecstatic. Still using the lightspeed now and love the weight. Not really into the super light mice, lightspeed with max weights is the way to go :). As for purchasing this new iteration of the mouse, I'm tempted but it does seem quite expensive (i waited till the lightspeed was on sale before i purchased it). And there is nothing currently wrong with my current g502 so I'm probably not going to buy it unless this mouse breaks down. I'd probably go for the non RGB version simply because its cheaper.

There's just so many good competitors that are the same shape that it's hard to justify it's price , Razer Rocat and Logitech themselves have that exact shape and the new one just doesn't have enough bells and whistles that would justify getting it instead of one of those mice especially at 160.

[@nikod615]

@@fillezzo It really depends. I don't feel like it's bad for a mouse to be in that price range especially when the mouse has a good sensor, really good build quality and other stuff like extra buttons and stuff like that. Right now I use the G Pro superlight for my setup and before that, I used the g502 lightspeed and the non-lightspeed variant before that and they are all solid mice. I think the pricepoint is justified by what you get and i would happily buy this mouse if I still preferred the g502 ergonomics over my G Pro superlight.

[@pure-genius]

I think the fact that we have a choice is very nice. For example if you don’t want a flashy black RGB mouse because you use it at work etc, you can get a clean looking white mouse that fits in.

[@skeletor_118]

One of the big reasons I've always loved the g502 is the number of individual buttons. Since I came from console, I was very used to doing a lot with a few fingers, and the g502 allowed me to still do that. That being said, I am disappointed in how little they did to the mouse this time around, though I'm happy they finally gave it USB-C

[@-........]

same, it's one of the only mouses with my preferred button layout along with the rival 500 (RIP), corsair nightsword, and asus spatha. however my personal gripe is still the scroll wheel. i hoped they would do one with the mechanism swapped out for another ordinary switch.

[@S0UPIE]

well for me, who has the powerplay mat, the imput change wont effect me

[@lalnuntluangachhakchhuak5767]

More durable click button is great. 502 is having a durability problem

[@TheUltimateDranzer]

I think the key here is the battery perfomance, Logitech page says "about 120 hours with RGB turned off" and "37 hours with RGB turned on" for the plus model and I think that's a massive difference, I'd be nice if you can test that battery time RGB vs no RGB, if the gap is that big then I don't think buying the RGB version is worth at all, but if the difference in lasting time is small, like 100 hours no RGB vs 80 hours RGB (to say something) then I think the plus version would the nice one to buy.

[@mvcfitz33]

I had no idea people memed on the G502. I absolutely love mine (I have one of the old wired versions). I don’t like when mice are super light, they just feel cheap to me. The shape always felt perfect for my hand and I also always loved the lighter click on all of the auxiliary buttons on it. Every other mouse that has extra buttons uses switches that require a good amount more force and always seem to have a thicker thunky feel that I don’t like. The ones on the G502 seem to be the same or similar to the regular right and left click.

[@FPSRayn]

Honestly, I wish I knew about this mouse back when I had purchased my first gaming mouse. It seems like I'd be treated better by the sheer quality that Logitech offers for such a cheap mouse, compared to other cheapo mice brands.

[@Root174]

People don't understand that a light mouse isn't the best for everyone. You also need to be able to handle it. The priority should be on what shape and weight works best for you. In randomfrankp's video on why he went back to the G502, he mentions how he was accused of hacking because he was doing that well.

[@MarksterC]

Honestly if you aren’t playing at the top level, finding the correct shape, good sensor, durable and with enough buttons for your need is way better than weight. 80g with a good shape vs 60g with a less fitting weight for me just isnt comparable.

[@jkm4505]

As a G502 user for 5 years now here are some of my opinions about this new upgrade: 1. USB C was long due 2. The new rubberized finger rest was really necessary because cleaning on the old one was terrbie. 3. I like that the mouse is not that glossy anymore, it will look even better! 4. Love the PTFE gliders 5. Apparently, the "PLUS" version only gives you RGB, which means at least for me that I will buy the non plus version. 6. The new switches are HYPING me up! 7.

I've been a fan of the G502 for a while now, and I'm excited to see Logitech continuing to refine and update this classic mouse. The new hybrid optical switches sound intriguing, and I'm definitely looking forward to trying them out for that unique tactile feel. Regarding the different versions, I'm a bit puzzled too. I appreciate having options, but the price and feature differences between the X and X Plus are somewhat perplexing. Personally, I lean towards performance and functionality, so I might opt for the lighter and cheaper version without RGB, but I'd love to hear what others think about this pricing strategy. Looking forward to your in-depth review and more gameplay experiences with the G502 Lightspeed! Keep up the great work, and as always, I'll be following your updates on Twitter. Cheers! 🎮🐭

Hoping that they don't make the g502 next editions much lighter. They need to bring the weights back as well, I like a thicc mouse.

[@teku0000]

I hate this new limpdick era of mice, trying to be as light as possible, I like the tanky/hefty feel of my G502, Ive been looking for getting this but it has no addable weights or anything to offset the weight reduction.

I am shaving everything and going with the OG g502 hero , yes with the wire ... For the premium price of lightspeed honestly wire is not an big issue

[@NorthernLaw_]

I've owned every iteration of the G502. It is my favorite mouse by far and I am very glad to see them refreshing it, the king has returned. The amount of crap this mouse gets is ridiculous, I've recommended this to so many people, people that bought it and now love it. For each of them I am open to other peoples thoughts so I did say "a lot of people say it's on the heavier side just so you know" and they all said that's ridiculous, it's not heavy at all it's perfectly fine. I agree completely, this mouse gets meme'd for no reason, it's not a part of the "superlight" train but it's not by definition "heavy". It's just heavier than the ridiculous

[@JHero]

hey frank, love your reviews, can you make a playlist of JUST your gaming mice reviews? would love to just binge watch those :)

[@everchangingworld11]

After having my G903 for over five yrs. it's finally starting to consistently double-click on me. I use the infinity scroll 90% of the time in my games and daily browsing so I can't part with it. I'll do with the extra weight, it really doesn't bother me. So this may be a worthy upgrade.

[@vmpere2637]

Seriously. I’m never buying another mouse without the infinite scroll, I’ve been using the G502 and variants of it for 6 years and I’m only just now “upgrading” (we’ll see) to a G604, obviously still going to keep the 502 around as a backup.

[@SL4PSH0CK]

the X plus is literally an additional improvement form the previous. think id be getting one if ever my G502 wear off

[@PlayinWithMahWii]

Frank! Hope you see this comment as it's a response to your question at the end. This video is the first I've heard of this mouse, and it actually caused me to look up some other reviews for the mouse. I've been using a Logitech G900 for 3-4+ years now, which replaced my G502 Proteus Core. When the G502 Lightspeed came out, I went to Best Buy and bought one. I love the shape of the G502, did not like the Logitech G Hub software, and the increased weight over the G900, so I returned it, not to mention the $149.99 price. I was able to get my G900 for practically free, so despite my preference for the shape, I could not pay that much for a mouse. The 502 X Plus is incredibly attractive to me, with a lighter body than my G900 (106g vs 107g, plus PTFE feet) but with heavier, tighter right and left click switches, as well as tightened up scroll wheel. There has always been tons of side to side slop in my scroll wheel, both on my G502 and my G900, so this is a very welcome change to me. Not sure how I feel about the new sniper button with the flap. However, due the price difference between the X Plus and X Lightspeed, I will not be buying the X Plus for months into its lifecycle, or until I see a sale price below $120, especially when the original G502 Proteus Core I fell in love with launched at a far more reasonable $50. I find this artificial price segmenting incredibly distasteful, and affront to the most loyal consumers of the brand, who will be buying their products directly at launch. I have a Logitech G810 keyboard, and if it were ever to become irreparable, it's doubtful my new keyboard would be a Logitech one.

[@Jeffmorgan1991]

The price is insane, when the old G502 Lightspeed went on sale for less than £60 at times.

[@nataku411]

The wired G502 Hero is only $40 now. Kinda feels like a ripoff even at $80 for the wired G502 X. I'd have been much more receptive to the price if they had reduced the weight more than they did.

[@dosko9980]

@@nataku411 the g502 had an MSRP of 130€ in my country. They weren't that cheap either. This new iteration will fall in price too with time

[@daylarfarshot523]

I've used a corded 502 for ever and absolutely love it but I've been running into a problem the past 2 years I've just been dealing with: My scroll button. I have a feeling its cat/dog hair as we have 6 pets, but the scroller half the time doesn't respond anymore. I believe there's hair on the sensors. I've tried to use canned air and sometimes it starts to work fine but give it a couple weeks and back to where I left off. As far as weight is concerned, personally I add 1 or 2 of the additional weights in my mice. I've always preferred a corded mouse for response times as I've always been hesitant with wireless and gaming in general but it's come a long way. Thank you for your insight on this mouse as I've been kinda pondering it for a while.

[@robertstimmel1100]

I have a wired G502 and I really like it. Granted, it's also the only good gaming mouse that I've ever owned. My only complaint is that it's a little larger than I would like.

[@tecategpt1959]

Save for the g pro

[@Villanes]

comparing the logitech 903 vs the rgb g502 x plus which one do you think is better???

[@Niels_f2704]

The white ones look so clean! I’m glad that Logitech is back on the top with their new switches and the still good old reliable HERO sensor. I was getting kinda worried about Logitech falling behind other companies. All they need to make is a new G Pro with these switches, USB-C and a new Opto mechanical low profile keyboard like Razer did and I’m sold.

[@Paulcutler96]

I use the G502 Lightspeed mouse and I love it, when paired with the wireless charge mouse pad it's the best I've found, the weight of it doesn't bother me at all, in fact I like the weight of it over other mouse's that are lighter. Seriously thinking about upgrading to this new one

[@Alttabbins]

I love the G502. I am in the same boat as you where I have been using it since it came out. There's no way I am paying $160 for an updated version of it. I'll happily pay half that for a wired version, but its a hard no from me for $160.

[@lennchadful]

that added panel between the buttons helps stop dust from entering the switches. i had 2 warranty replaced because dust was wearing the switches down

[@halfblood_drag0n]

the weight and size of the g502 is the reason i use it, i have big ass hands and im used to cheap rechargebale mice, i litteraly dont get why someone wants a mouse that was made with a feather

[@hanksterthagangster]

I use a g903 daily and I can safely say its the best mouse I've ever used. The length and weight are perfect for me. I know they are different, ut I'm really excited to get the g502 x

[@Villanes]

I have also a g903, did you finally switch the g502x for the g903??

[@hanksterthagangster]

@@Villanes I never got to. I will try to get one for christams though!

[@luong02]

I own many variant of the G502 mouse, but I am finally happy they address the sniper button as it is a struggle for me to use and thus I never use it. My favourite reason why I like the mouse is the fact that I can tilt the wheel as I use that for my Push-to-Talk key as it's very comfortable for me to use. The only complaint for me is the fact that the mouse scroll up/down can't be remap to a keystroke.

[@benitokok4756]

Call me old school but I just dont understand how they just did away with the weights. 100grams so light. Or how about a version which supports weights. Honestly considering just another g502. Any thoughts?

[@EvanNeedsTherapy]

I like heavier mice too, I'm just used to it and it feels more comfortable to me. Wish it supported weights

[@XFauni]

Just bought my G502 X Plus yesterday, white. Just set it up and I absolutely love it over the base G502, only gripe is I'm not a fan of wireless but it seems to have no lag at all, still have to charge it though wish I could just toss some batteries in it instead /:

[@jaybird7471]

So coming from the pro x superlight, I thought I already had the best mouse possible. Wireless, 62g, yk the drill. Before the super light, I had the wired model O-. So i've been a lightweight mouse guy for sometime, switching to a heavier mouse felt different at first and im still getting used to. But this mouse is amazing. I switched mainly because I wanted to try and ergo build and I love it. Everything from the build quality, to the overall look of the mouse. AND IT'S USB-C! About time logitech g starts to get with the program.

[@Venoxium]

My biggest concern is if it starts double clicking. EVERY G502 mouse I've owned has eventually start double clicking. Sometimes its within 3 months and others 6-9 months but it ALWAYS happens. I've had to Warranty a couple of times and I don't really play any FPS games or any type of game that you would consider to be "heavy use" on the mouse.

[@kaku8976]

While everyone is chasing for the lightest mouse in the market, I'm struggling to find heavier mouse. Loving my G604, and I hope Logitech won't abandon the heavy mouse market like other companies do😢

[@kornkernel2232]

Sadly, it is a current trend now, so the heavier gaming mice will be a niche and expensive thing to have these days. Normal productivity mice are not suited for gaming due to Bluetooth latency and other connectivity issues. There might be still heavier ones, but from lesser known brands that the quality may be hit and miss, and software might be bad.

[@catha86]

i have the wireless lightspeed and the wire first one when it came out. Its truly one of the best buy I have ever made. Since day one I have not been disappointed and and is truly happy with something I have. It´s been like 10+ years now and still so happy with it every day. I will buy a new one once mine breaks down.

[@mrblurleighton]

I love my wired g502, and it fits perfectly. I wouldn't buy the og lightspeed because it's not type C, but now I want to upgrade. The rgb will look good with my setup, and I spend way more time working than gaming anyways, so a few grams don't scare me.

[@Seas0nedChef]

I am using the g502x now. The weight doesn't bother me, and those 2 extra buttons come in handy.

[@FireStarJutsu]

Considering that you can get a G502 Lightspeed for a pretty good price a lot of the times nowadays, I can't really justify these. Thanks for the review! As always!

[@shlonger420]

yo no way. havent seen ur channel in years... i watched u years ago when I was building my PC. lovee your content glad i found it again :D

[@jesusnieves2170]

I like my g502 with full weights.

[@johntowle]

Just got the G502 X Plus , very happy with it. Very responsive. Fits my hand perfectly.

[@ZiaMcFia]

I would say that the g502 has always been that mouse that tries to pack as much as possible, So I would go for the g502 x plus but... The g502 x wired only weights 89g which may be heavy to others but for a person who has used every single g502 (Except for these ones), is bloody light! I do hope to see a wired rgb one only weighing around 93g. I would love to see that!

[@nofearfam]

i know im the same i love my heavy fully weighted g502 se bt these new mice looks so good i picked up the wired black version and a white plus version and was very shocked just how light they are, cant wait to see the difference from going from one extreme to the other.

[@SpeedingWheelbarrow]

as a 502 lightspeed user as soon as I can justify the upgrade I'm going for it they actually solved one of my biggest issues with the mouse so when I first saw the differences I was like no brainer non rgb model is the way to go but after seeing it in a couple reviews now that rgb looks really nice and I think I'm gonna shell out the extra 20 for it

[@chanceForNotBeingRapper]

it might not be the best mouse i have used, but it still has great customization options make g502 series great again!

[@MafiaMan1]

Again..? It always has been.

[@jafarabbas9785]

Does this mouse also wobble and rattle when shaken/moved quickly side to side ?

[@Ultima64]

The g502 will always be useful for me because the extra buttons on the mouse and infinite scroll are really useful features to have for someone who uses their setup for both gaming and productivity.

[@bregonwebb8921]

Put glass feet over an artisan pad. Heavier mice work well with glass feet due to surface contact. Try it

[@stevealan2289]

I love my 502. I'm a mechanic, I also do body work and various odds and ends. I'm used to handling tools and a light mouse feels overreactive to me. I have all the weights in my 502 and couldn't be happier.

[@karmakh]

Nice review. I typically just disable all the lights, so I will be getting the black non-RGB Lightspeed variant.

[@brainbox9219]

Ordered the black non-rgb version, rgb on mice is arbitrary, not needed, everything else about the mouse is what I truly care about and this mouse might be my new main over GPX super light, can’t wait

[@MrMastermind790]

Great review! I am getting my first PC pretty soon and have been trying to find a good mouse for my big hands. I prefer a mouse to have some weight to it so I am looking forward to purchasing this mouse thanks for the info!

[@beanwithbacon]

Used every model of the G500 for years and then every model of the 502 for years after that. Last year I decided to give the ultralight thing a try and I did notice a reasonable improvement in my movement and aim (playing mostly Quake and Diabotical) but missed the thumb button and thumb rest of the 502. Recently bought the Model I, been liking it a lot actually, but this is really making me want to switch back to the true king. I could always dremel out the shell to shave weight if I really wanted anyways...

[@Re-InCarNation]

The G502 with the light-speed chip is the BMW M5 of mouses. It’s got the (big engine) fast sensor, and low latency Bluetooth chip (dual clutch automatic). But at the end of the day it’s still weighing over a double most light weight gaming mouses (M5 weight 1930kg, MX5 weight 961kg). The G502 is a productivity mouse (luxury car) dressed up to be a gaming mouse (sports car). It’s got the comfortable palm grip (comfortable soft seats), 9 programmable buttons (storage space & back seats), the infinite scroll wheel (cruise control). The G502 is the mouse you get when you want the functionality of the MX Master ( Mercedes S-class) but the response of a gaming mouse (sports car).

[@spiritnxmad]

Frank! You NEED to do a review on the Corsair mice like the M65 Ultra Wireless, Ironclaw Wireless, Dark Core Wireless and the Sabre Wireless. Also their headsets like the HS80 and others. You seem to stick to Logitech and Razer quite a bit when Corsair is really competitive in that market, for example Corsair is all in on USB-C something Logitech is yet to do fully.

[@facu_eze_peralta]

I have a G305 and i love it! Now im thinking to buy this one in the white version looks so cool ♥

[@66racer]

Happy to see the refresh, want to pick up the non-rgb one to try out. LONG time g502 wired user, latest one is the Pro X Superlight

[@folkengames]

09:35 you answer a question logitechs website could not. It's 20$ and 4 grams extra for RGB. 502 X Lightspeed is the best version of this mouse for me. Thanks!

[@Root174]

I'm more likely to get the Lightspeed model. I honestly don't care much for RGB, so if I can save some money, then why not? I will wait until they drop in price which seems to happen 1-2 months after release if I look at the price history of other G502 models. My G502 Proteus Spectrum has developed a shine, the left side is pretty worn (bits of it even come off every now and then) and sometimes there's a slight scratchy feel when I click and drag with LMB as it moves a little. Really love the shape and the placement of most buttons. Perhaps I can finally map the DPI shift as an extra button with this redesign, because it's actually a little too far forward on my current model.

[@Til_What]

Ah well. Just ordered a Basilisk V3 Pro to replace my old cable 502. If that doesn't do it for me and I send it back to amazon, I know what to get next. Great review.

[@ethanlongface]

@randomfrankp 1:57 Teflon is just the trade name for PTFE, they are the same material. Only difference in this case is the colour additives used.

[@imkirbyz8993]

I have the bestbuy 2 year protection plan and also a lover of the G502 like you said. Ill be taking the upgrade because of 2 reasons. The mouse will only cost me $70 max to an other 2 year plan and give it a try. If i dont like it ill swap it out for an old model. two, Looks nice and sleek we will see how it fit in the hand since the shape is almost the same. nice review man !

[@p20gdnofficial]

I used every generation of the g502, and cant see myself using a different shape mouse ever again. Loved it since they launched the wired version

[@ghdude150]

I have a custom painted G502, and I'm still considering getting the new one just because of the USB Type-C port lol but I don't like that it's lighter. I already feel like the G502 Lightspeed is too light as it is. If I do pick it up though, I'll definitely be getting the X. The RGB is covered up by my hand when I'm using the mouse, and RGB isn't worth $20 to me, especially on a mouse.

[@tambulee]

in ended up buy a couple G502 lightspeed as they started feeling like they were hard to get. I love them! now i can grab these soon.

[@CallmeRoth]

I think it's pretty clear why there are 3 versions and you explained it - Wired, Wireless and NO-RGB/RGB versions. There are people who will pay for RGB because they'd rather look at their computer than use it and then use their phone to "flex" in reddit setup threads. Logitech knows this and has capitalized on the financial opportunity.

[@Sc0repn]

I’m almost sure the difference in the 2 wireless options are also the fact the plus does wireless charging and the other has to used the cord.

[@bregonwebb8921]

Also sensor=/= driver =/= board connections in that tiny little mouse. There are other things at play than the sensor alone.
