Why is EVERYONE Buying This Gaming Mouse? - Logitech G502 HERO

[@BlueJayYT]

I used this mouse for a while until I unfortunately experienced those mentioned switch problems, however I can vouch for Logitech's customer support as they sent me a free replacement in no time!

[@ario984]

@Lukja Ya 8 shut up

[@hoodygold8900]

I am using it right now and I’m yet to experience the issues

[@dcumbo]

Yeah but i had the replacement do the same (g pro). I gave up on logitech tbh :/

[@YannickBo]

I don't have problems with the switches but sometimes the scroll wheel scrolls in between the bumps so I have to scroll up and down a bit to fix it

[@mrmoosetachio]

I've used 3 in the past decade. Used the first 2 for 3-4 years each until the double click popped up. But considering the amount of use each went through I was very satisfied and decided to get another

[@theuseraccountname]

I own a G502, and I like how easy it is to scroll on "free scroll" mode. The only problem I have with it is lately it tends to "double-scroll" until I cycle the DPI back to what I have it on somewhat often, and there's no driver updates, so it's not that.

[@vlycop7404]

some here with the double scroll from time to time... But i really hate that mouse for the simple fact that i wanted the none rgb one, and 2 day before i had the money to buy it they discontinued it, and forced a 30$ price for a rgb led ... was so mad

[@mh87351]

Once you get used to smooth scroll you don't want to go back is my experience.

[@ommsterlitz1805]

Damn i owned this mouse in 2016 to 2019 i always hated it

[@ZuriPOL]

because it requires the mouse to be heavier than usual. But, razer's basilisk lineup also have this feature

Probably dirty.

Hi Linus and team. Great video. However, be careful about showing Amazon pages (especially reviews) on-screen. I was almost banned by the Amazon affiliate program for using exactly those things in videos on my channel. It apparently breaches their terms of service. Wouldn't want you guys to get chucked out.

[@ROVictiM]

I looked through hundreds of listings before buying this one and after a couple years with it, I find it obvious why that model got so popular, even with competition on the specs. When you looked at most models you immediately started to find crazy patterns. The ones that are solely focused on flashiness and lights but fails easily or has poor sensor registering, the ones skimped on quality for the sake of specs on paper, but you regret it the moment you unpack and connect it, the minimalistic ones to the point you really wouldn't call it gaming mouse any more, and the miniatures designed for hobbit hands or people that move the mouse entirely with their fingertips without palm contact.

[@MakersMuse]

Original G502 owner here, I don't want it to ever die. You can even buy after market skids for when they wear out. 👌

[@jedivader20]

I bought new skids for my OG G502, still going strong!

[@florence9231]

Love my original. Gone through several sets of skids. Only problem with mine is the finger pads are dissolving - Kind of vouches for its reliability though as functionally it is still perfect.

[@eXoguti094]

The G604's buttons are much better placed for productivity, and I'd say even gaming. That one really doesn't get any attention, it's the only mouse I ever want.

[@GandolphTheGreyBeard]

Same. I've had mine for 6(?) years now and have zero desire to change to anything different. I have mine set up to go edge-to-edge on my 32" 1440p monitor in 3" of lateral movement and it is absolutely perfect for both my gaming and business use.

[@DaBoomDude]

My proteus core still going strong since the day i bought it from EB Games.(its the model with the good switches) It works beautifully with Linux (Piper for DPI/RGB and its compatible with OpenRGB) and I'm gonna run it till it dies... then maybe fix it and keep running it.

[@ASilverNMeep886]

Honestly, I think people underestimate how impactful the free-spinning (or Hyper-scrolling) mouse wheel is for experience as you are scrolling through spreadsheets, code, or documents. You can scroll slowly like a touch pad and then go fast as heck and then slow back down with minute control. Sure you could probably use the scroll bar or keyboard shortcuts, but it's right there in your hand. Cannot go back to another mouse without it. Bought my G502 from Best Buy and I will use it until it dies and probably buy another one.

[@shadowsbane171091]

Yeah, I bought it as an Gaming mouse, ended up using it as a productivity mouse, it’s quite good.

[@dalzy25]

I dunno, middle mouse button to scroll works pretty well for this function.

[@noba4696]

Definitely, thats why I really don't regard Linus' "alternatives" as alternatives. They just aren't. Mouse doesn't have free-spinning wheel? NEXT!

[@__-fm5qv]

Same, I use the free-scroll feature of my G903 so much its frustrating to use any other mouse at this point, makes quickly flicking through documents and spreasheets so much easier.

[@beck4715]

True. I have a G305 myself and I love it to bits, but the free spinning scroll wheel still makes me a little jealous of my friends who got G502s. The mouse itself would be a bit much for me but I still think about it any time I try to scroll through a document, spreadsheet, web page, code, and anything else similar haha

[@mctown972]

This mouse is the definition of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" 🤷‍♂️ it feels great in the hand and it isn't that heavy as some people like to complain about it

[@Pendarr]

For me that mouse has been the MS Intellimouse. I'm using the more recent "Pro" revision and it's my favorite simple mouse.

[@sword_racer185]

@@Pendarr I recently upgraded from the g502 hero to the corsair scimitar because I play lots of mmo's and it fits my hand a lot better

[@imnota]

Heavy is good tho.

[@AlphaHorst]

well it certainly needs some fixing. The skates/feet are really substandart at that price range and you get far better feel from aftermarket ones, even cheap ones. Grinding away the checkered designe along one edge also improves the glide, as the design is at the same hight as the feet and gets stuck on your mousepad.

[@trentthemediocre7596]

I agree, I think it's less that the 502 is "heavy" and more that other options are extremely light.

[@tsubasawolfy]

I have two of G502, and both serve well. The first one with wire that I bought in 2015, and the second one w/o wire bought in 2019. I LOVE the free-spinning mechanism which help A LOT, either in reading PDF or codes.

[@BooglePoots]

That's ironic because I literally did the same thing lol. I loved the wired so I bought the wireless. I just upgraded my keyboard too, from the Logitech G Pro to the Logitech G915 but I'm still not sure how I feel about the low-profile keys at this point. I really loved the Pro keyboard but having wires is just too messy for me since I'm working with a laptop on a lap desk on my bed (no room for a desk). I just watched a video Linus did on the keyboard but he seemed to like the keys like that so maybe it's just me. It just feels a lot like laptop chicklets compared to regular mechanical keyboards

[@dovydas4036]

Mine is double clicking

[@ChrisThomasBone]

I use it in music production. There's so many Ctrl-click/Alt-click/Ctrl-Alt-Shift-Windows-click shortcuts in Pro Tools, having the modifier keys mapped to the thumb buttons is such a workflow boost. I also like the weights, not because it's heavier though, but because placing weights in the front shifts the center of gravity to actually make it feel lighter, at least for my grip. On top of that, I've had it for nearly 5 years now and I can't tell a difference from when it was new. Those factors, plus the ergonomic layout, has me a very happy customer. When/if this wears out, I'm getting another one.

[@LV_223]

My only complaint is the overall durability of it. I've had 3 since 2019, all due to the Mouse 2 switch dying on me. Regardless, I still don't think I'll ever have another mouse. My hand size is perfect for it, I actually love the heavier weight, and the DPI switch being right next to Mouse 1 is extremely convenient for me. Since I game at a low sens, but work and browse at a higher sens, switching between them is just super fast and fluid. I actually just moved onto the G502 Lightspeed and I don't think I will ever get another mouse again.

[@lobsangwhite]

I used to use the weights to do the same until I switch to the wireless so the lack of cable change the center of gravity.

[@kornkernel2232]

@@lobsangwhite How is the wireless version? Is there any slight difference or improvements other than being wireless? I also suffered from this super sensitive tilt wheel in G502 Hero wired, I wonder if they fixed that on wireless version.

@@kornkernel2232 well, I jump from proteus to wireless so to me it was a big difference, but the last 502 wired and the wireless one seems to be the same mouse tbh. EDIT: Battery and portability is a huge advantage, I can go anywhere with my mouse and keep my shortcuts with me (only one profile on memory) and battery life is about 70H even when I akeep my RGB on all the time (only logo)

Logitech has the best customer support I've ever had the pleasure of dealing with. They send out replacements with expedited shipping. It's so refreshing in a world where companies with shockingly terrible customer support like Razer exists.

[@ChrisHendrickson]

They've replaced several trackballs and slip mats off the bottom of them for me over the years. Unparalleled customer support from them. I just wish they'd give us 'exotic' input device users a bit more love.

[@thetranya3589]

The customer support is excellent. Unfortunately, you're likely going to need it.

[@LemonRush7777]

Logitech is my favorite company by far, only had great experiences and their prices are fair. Razer, on the other hand... overpriced garbage that always breaks down fast right agter the warranty died. Tailor made to fail and terrible support, never again.

[@intdawg]

Logitech, Corsair, and EVGA have always had INCREDIBLE customer support for me. I had a Logitech KB that was having an issue with double presses, and they said it had recently been discontinued, so they told me to pick a replacement from their store that was a similar price. Wound up giving me a new keyboard that was more expensive, and told me to just keep the old one. With Corsair and EVGA, I once had to RMA some ram and a gpu, respectively. Both of them sent me replacements with a pre-paid label to send my old stuff back. I buy those brands as much as possible for that reason. Even if it costs more sometimes.

[@NickyNiclas]

@@thetranya3589 Yes, Logitech has had failing microswitches just like *every other mouse brand.*

[@DiniduPerera]

I know most mice with a generous amount of macro buttons are usually labeled “MMO” or “gaming” but I can’t tell you how awesome those things are from a professional productivity standpoint. I spend a lot of time in Outlook at work and have multiple quick actions programmed to the macro g-keys on my G604. At home, they’re great for quickly swapping between tools in Photoshop, Lightroom, etc.

[@curtishickerson2646]

100 agreed. I used to use Excel a lot for a job I had for a large tech company. Using all of those buttons for various macros and functions and having multiple profiles to use within various different spreadsheets blew my productivity through the roof when I was using a Corsair Scimitar Pro.

[@enderan647]

agree. those buttons are great for shortcut and hotkeys. I have so many configuration for almost every software that I use.

[@SianaGearz]

I do think gaming mice are just better for any productivity and graphics relayed work, even without extra buttons, though those help as well. You can feel the faster response and less angle snapping, better hand eye coordination. Though you don't care that much about maximum tracking speed which is another feature. Also my left hand has a few damaged fingers so having extra buttons on my right hand helps taking the load off it. But I do wish they made much, much smaller variants, they're kind of gargantuan for me.

[@Tappettava]

I use my old G502 with a loose scroll wheel at work. Its perfect since I get a much bigger mouse than what they provide me and I got copy/paste, enter and deletes keys bound on it.

[@follar00]

I use a 602 for the same reasons.

[@BloodTideGaming]

For anyone that thinks the 502 has just too much for you... try the 402. I still think its a great mouse with not so much of all the bells and whistles but still enough features to make it a great gaming mouse.

[@ZebronZee]

I have been using G502 Proteus Core since late 2014. Everyday I wait for it to show any faults so that I can finally replace it, but this thing is so well made that even in 2022 my G502 is still going strong. Looks like the Logitech reliability is helping me save money since my older mouse was a Razer Mamba 2012 which started showing severe tracking and clicking issues within the first year and just died in the following months.

[@Feuerspalter]

With me it’s the same I had the mamba tournament edition but after a sensor error I send it back and got me the g502. Since I have it all my friends Switches there mouses for a few times (spending lots of money) and ending up with the g502 ever since after they tried my mouse On a lan.

[@techgoggles]

U have to use the mouse for it to go bad

[@goodrhythms5320]

I (ab)used my G502 for about 6 Years now. A year ago i bought the 502 SE as a replacement just in case anything starts failing on my current one. The only thing failing by now is the rubber coating and the led starts to dim a bit, but on the functional side everything is fine. (The mouse is in heavy use btw. atleast 8 hours for work, and another 2-3 hours for gaming daily) Maybe it is the best selling mouse because it's reliable, feature-rich and priced reasonably. And yeah, im also one of the guys that absolutely love the weight of the mouse (fully packed with all the weights), for me it feels like i can move the mouse more precisely.

[@jojoenathan]

I was a die-hard G502 user since 2014 for a LONG time. We own like 4. I've personally switched to the Glorious Model O/Wireless. The G502 is great, but I've found while I preferred heavy weight before, lightweight is nicer for me. While it seems like "higher quality" materials up front, the plastic shines like crazy over time and the rubber on the thumb side just outright... melts under daily use. I run into similar issues with the MX Master line, but on a far lower level. G502 is a great mouse, but I don't really recommend it anymore.

[@coreyroberts3342]

Recently switch over to Glorious's keyboard and I'm still shocked at just how good they are for the criminally low price. The Model 0/Wireless mouse looks phenomenal, does it have the same sort of declicked scroll wheel as the Logictech?

[@ytdlder]

That's why I bought the G402 for work; the thumb area still has a rubbery feel to it, but is WAY different. I'd love a G502 with NO rubber, as the textured rubber just "melts & gets grimy"

[@MrSolLeks]

I used to use the 502 for the longest time, then the wireless version, however they both developed the double click issue and I switched to a razer wirless mouse. I still prefer the shape of the 502 though.

[@stryker0ae]

Well what would you recommend then. I've only had this mouse for about a year, but it's by far the nicest one I've ever used. For me it works amazingly, but I can't attest to how the materials hold up over time. I have the wireless one and I absolutely love it. The 100$ price was imo totally worth it.

[@MrSolLeks]

@@stryker0ae use it until it breaks, it may not die, it may get the double click like mine did after a year and a half. My first one lasted a good 4 years without problem and I only changed because I wanted wireless. When yours breaks, start looking around and see what is good at that time. no point in not using it if you already have it.

[@nelsonparra3797]

As a non-gamer I don’t care much about the performance. I just love the design and feel with all the weights in it. I own 3 (2 wired & 1 wireless). Also love the feeling and function of the scroll wheel. I dry bushed the edges of the panels with silver paint and it looks like its made of metal. I think visually the design is perfect & looks badass on my desk.

[@Zer0ducksgiven]

Had my G502 since 2015, has survived over 1000 hours of overwatch, over 700 of CS GO and hundreds in other games. I love the shape, love the feel and it still works just as well as it did when I bought it 7 years ago. I have owned 3 razer mice since in an attempt to upgrade from the G502 and all failed within 6 months. I always go back to the old G502.

For me I fell in love with the button layout and the amount. It was the first mouse where I could program all the numbers on it for toolbelts in games, which allowed me to select quickly even in shooter games while on the move. The double clicking issue early on took a while to happen, I think the shortest time for me was 6 months, but I was gaming 8-12 hours a day. I remember I tried to give an off brand who's design was similar a chance and something else failed on that one I don't remember so I went back to the G502. The only major complaint I have ever had is I have pretty good sized hands and gaming with this thing for 8 hours makes my hand feel cramped. Its very narrow.

[@dsandoval9396]

The previous iteration of the app that I used with my Proteus was perfect, then they sacrificed user friendly functionality for "looks" in the new G-Hub app (I use with my Lightspeed) and it's a HUGE pain in the butt. It doesn't switch profiles when it should, so I have to set it to "persistent" before starting a game, I have to go into settings with a bunch of relegated settings like the red-headed stepchildren kept out of sight, but anything else you can lock for inside the operation menu with the rest of the settings as there's a 🔒 icon in those menus you can click (when "persistent" is off) but there's a 🔒 icon on the window that has the app profile (in the SAME page) but you CAN'T click it. The app was SUPER easy to read and understand in the old app as on startup everything was basically on the front page. Everything was, and it was easy to understand and operate. The G-Hub app you have to change menus/windows constantly when setting up new profiles. The mouse image (to see the key binds) you have to switch between side and top when the previous app had the image at an angle so you could easily see all key binds. Functions that did NOT need to be implemented, but they wanted it to look "bare and clean".😒 The previous app was easy to understand, easy to use, wasn't complicated, and it was neat and clean (as in not cluttered with options and overwhelming with functions). But it seems they wanted the new G-Hub to "look great" first and everything else is second. Now you have a useless "front page" of sorts that serves no purpose other than to have a cover letter presentation. Literally the few bits of information on the "front page" is literally presented to you on 2 or 3 other pages. Functions that you'd think would be grouped together but are separated by exiting entire windows/menus, just to have to go back to a setting the menu/window before to adjust when setting up a profile for the first time for the app/game. It's like they kept information presented at an absolute minimum, even presenting a couple of them in OTHER menus/windows, just to present the multiple menus/windows as minimalistic as possible as a "clean looking app" when all they've done is make it an app you have to switch back and forth and then find out sometimes it's just SHOWING you the info but you can't actually change that setting unless you go to another menu/window. Whatever. I HATE G-Hub with a raging hellfire passion only the heat from the center of a white dwarf can compare. So yeah.

[@KoeSeer]

i bought 502 as upgrade from 402, and the layout is far nicer than 402. the G7 and G9 buttons are comfortable to hold for long as part of "repeat click" macro (so you don't wear mouse 1 faster) and the free scrolling button really helps when the game contains long ass inventory or menu.

The trouble with going with other brands is the lack of hyperscroll. When you work with long documents or code, or even webpages, suddenly switching back to a non-hyperscroll mouse wheel feels like going down a road covered in speed bumps to get to the right place. Hyperscroll is so effortless and precise at getting you vertically right where you need to be that it's a non-negotiable feature once you start using it. Not sure if Logitech patented it or something, but it's what's kept me from buying any other brand for over half a decade.

The side buttons look like they are held in there with paper thin plastic toothpicks. Total junk and won't last. Steel Series is the closest I have found to that G500 feel.

So far, that mouse is still gaming hard with no signs of weakening anytime soon, maybe I got lucky with Logitech so far but I think It's just that overall they make solid quality products.

The theoretical lower bound on latency is probably better for wired, but in practice it's going to come down to how optimized a particular mouse is and also the degree to which these tiny deltas between tiny latency numbers actually affect gaming performance. Logitech wireless mice have great reputations, and the consensus seems to be that their latency is even lower than a lot of wired mice. AFAIK pros use them in high level play at 240Hz+ with no complaints.

It's ridiculous that they don't add an anti-doubleclick option in the software. Just have a benchmark for how fast you can click. If significantly faster clicks come in, discard and assume bug click. This exists as a separate piece of software you can apply system wide (windows only, "clickfix". It's just autohotkey!), but there's no practical reason they can't do it on the mouse itself. It's not like debouncing isn't already a thing! They just need to stretch its limits!

@CREEZ_sinner I meant the extra buttons when you move the wheel left or right. However I have used the unlocked scroll wheel for a couple things where I'm too lazy to scroll to the bottom. For example, scrolling through the GTA clothes, scrolling to the bottom of Terms and Services, or even the bottom of the page in seconds. Sometimes I like to just flick it and feel it spin.
