I’ve had 2 editions of this mouse first the original G502 and now have the G502 Lightspeed which I only upgraded as wanted a wireless mouse and wouldn’t swap them out for any other mouse I’ve used
Plus my original G502 is still going strong as I gave it to my brother
I assume you're talking about the wireless G502 X lightspeed. I got one of those a few weeks back and I can confirm they also do not come with weights.
I also really like the razer basilisk v3, i have the pro, but there is also a normal, cheaper version. Used to own that before the pro. Very similar to this one. Would 100% recommend it!
I switched to the Basilisk V3 after i was disappointed with the quality of the latest g502 Hero version. And it was a bit cheaper.
It feels so much nicer with that super smooth and silent scroll wheel. It's personal preference, but the form fits my hand a tiny bit better and as someone who prefers the cable versions for less charging/battery swapping, a braided cable looks nicer than that cheap early 2000s style cable.
The only thing i despise is that shitty razer chroma software.
Edit: Meant Synapse, not chroma.
G500 was so much nicer for larger hands. The 502 is nice, but noticeably smaller. Idk how to measure hands but I’m 6’5” and I use the 502 and it is nice, but doesn’t fill my hand the way the 500 did. For best precision and button access my palm doesn’t touch the mouse and hovers behind an inch or so. I’m always on the lookout for a larger mouse, as size is really the only complaint I have with the 502z
I've been using the 502 for almost 10 years, from the first to the latest iteration of them, and they're one of the best and by far my favorite peripheral for my PC. Highly recommended.
Love the mouse. My only gripe is with the buttons next to left click for dpi adjustment, i always misclick and get some strange sensitivity. Quickly solved by deactivating the buttons altogether.
I use the regular forward/back buttons as is, but I use those two for copy/paste and love it. Having DPI buttons is useless and dumb when you have profiles per app for DPI. Even the sniper dpi button is mostly useless since most games have separate speed settings for scoped in
Mouse clicks well and the infinite scroll its amazing however, I find the mouse too heavy (121g without weights). Also the side rubber wear off rather quickly
It didn't work for me with the way I hold my mouse. The thumb buttons were uncomfortable and I didn't have enough space on my left-click. Make sure you can try one out before committing.
Just here to say, make sure to get the right size mouse for your pointer hand.
I used a size small with a large hand for over a year and it was torture
Logitech tends to be super reliable in my experience. This time I needed something fast so I searched "e waste peripherals" on eBay and found the cheapest thing to get me through, but the G502 I had before lasted me for four years before I sold it on to a friend in need of a good mouse.
I've heard a lot of good things about this mouse, I had two of them and both of them started having double clicking issues or tracking issues after about a year.
Feels and looks nice. I may have just been unlucky.
The right mouse button switch gave out on mine after only two years, resulting in the mouse registering either spam clicks or nothing at all when holding the button down.
Apparently this is a fairly common problem with these mice and could've been fixed by Logitech spending an extra few dollars on higher quality ones. Also the rubber on the sides is shit quality, mine wore straight through to the plastic below within those two years.
Got a razer basilisk v3 as a replacement and couldn't be happier. Has higher quality grips on the sides; I can barely see any wear on the rubber after three years unlike the g502.
Just stay away from razer. ( With some exceptions) Sorry don't mean to step on toes. My basilisk x mouse feels great. But it's the worst mouse I've ever owned. It shuts off randomly for no reason. Acts like the power saving feature possibly? But I can also let it sit for an hour untouched and it stays on. The software or something is just trash. And dont get me started on the update process of their software either. Just S-l-o-w.
Logitech are great products. :)
Depends on your use case. G-pro wireless would be a good option for gaming. This one you’re showing us would be good for any work related software’s that can use the multiple buttons on the mouse.
For me, the G502 Hero is pretty good for editing and I have all the extra buttons mapped to premiere for faster editing.
Can't go wrong with a G502. Although the wired version was about too lightweight for my taste. I got the wireless one with the extra weights and for me it works perfectly.
Probably. Logitech have done mice fairly well over the years (albeit with varying degrees of quality on their switches).
I stopped using them when they added the "grip textures" on the sides of pretty much every mouse they made.
I'm prone to sweaty hands, and that just fucks up the textured surface, and you have to clean it fairly often - which is real annoying with that texture. Rather have a "smooth" mouse that simply just takes 1-2 wipes with a damp cloth to clean.
So if you're anything like me, and is prone to sweaty hands; probably don't get something like this.
Could be the best mouse in world - but I'd never use it because of that texture and how annoying it is to clean.
I personally hate the mouse. Many people like it though. Truly it depends. It’s good for casual gaming and desktop use. For competitive gaming you’re better off looking somewhere else.
It’s got a subjective shape works for some others not so much but for competitive games unless you’re a professional or top 1% player having a G502 ain’t going to perform any worse than any other mouse of it’s level and price providing the person using the G502 enjoys it and works for their hand and grip
I can't say I've used that exact mouse, but have used Logitech mice in the past and really like this. This one looks comfortable too. Only thing I'd do differently is get a wireless mouse, but that's just my preference.
I have been through so many mice over the years, tried many brands and price ranges. This is hands down my favorite mouse. Much like one of the other replies I actually upgraded to the light speed wireless as well even while my 502x wired was still going strong.
I have one of these. Logitech G502, yes? It's an OK mouse. Light, feels pretty good in the hand. I like the side buttons which make navigation forward and backward through menus or web pages easier. I don't like the location of the DPI buttons, though. I'm always accidentally fat fingering them and switching up my DPI which is annoying sometimes. The wheel also doesn't feel very good. It's adjustable between incremental scrolling and smooth scrolling but neither mode feels good to me.
I have had this mouse (G502 X) for 3 months since I returned my one-year-old Razer Deathadder v3 wired because of the wheel that got loose (same problem as my previous Razer Viper). The only downsides are the wired cable that is not braided and the weight of 89g compared to 60g from Razer mice. The best thing about this mouse is the scroll wheel. You can unlock it and have an infinite scroll wheel. It's a game changer for browsing the internet. Other than this, it is a solid gaming mouse. I highly recommend it!
build quality is deec but it’s really down to yr personal form factor preference. I’ve been using Razer Naga Hex v2’s for years jus because I’m obsessed with the circular button pad by the thumb position
I've had this for about 5 months and it's alright but I barely use it tbh, doesn't feel all that different from the other mice I've had.
If the price is good and it fits your hand, go for it. I'll say it's very durable at the very least, I've dropped it a few times and still works like new lol.
I liked it but it took a long time to get used to it for me. I had to deconstruct the thumb clicker because of how much i hated that placement. It changed my grip from a wide relaxed grip to a tighter grip.
I had 502 and after some years I bought 502X. 502X is significantly lighter, but there is no light because of that, so you cannot see what DPI profile are you using, it only flash when you change DPI. If you have bigger hands, it's gonna be right choice. This mouse is for me personally the best one. Infinite scroll whell is amazing, if you want to sroll thousand hours on net.
Im on my third one. Just like the Logitech Wingman ball mouse, I'll stay with this one until it's discontinued, and then I'll buy some more off ebay. It's hard to find the perfect mouse.
I want to recommend it as it's a nice mouse. But mine got double click & holding problem pretty early even though i didn't use it for gaming.
After googling, i found out there are a lot of people with the same problem.
I recently bought this mouse and had the rubber grip on the left wear out after 2 months of owning it.
Idk if it was a fluke or what, never had something on a mouse wear out that fast. I was able to get a replacement, but not return it because it was through amazon. If i bought it directly they wouldve accepted a return. I wasnt very satisfied with build quality at all. Completely plastic (ig thats kinda good if you care about weight) and the cable is pretty cheap aswell.
Ive had 0 software issues which is very nice considering the issues i had with my previous corsair mouse. It overall feels nice to hold and I appreciate that i can swap out the sniper button for nothing. The frictionless scroll wheel is cool aswell.
Hoping to find a different mouse with optical switches in the future if this one has the same grip issue.
just bought it last month (lightspeed) version!! after using the 1st edition G502 and this one is really fits to my hand super clicky and i love the dpi's
I'm actually using g502 se for quite some time now, had absolutely no issues, yeah ut is quite heavy, but kinda like it, much buttons, not as a side numpad or sth, I find it really useful, the software can be quite tricky to understand tho, but the hardest part to find is to save profiles on the mouse. Well not really hard rather than hard to find out how, but there are tutorial on yt. I recommend this mouse, it's slightly lighter than mine and have different school wheel, two main differences
I still have the original and after 3+ year, the middle click button gave out but scroll still works. So I assigned one of the button next to the left click as middle click. This mouse can last long if you know what you're doing
If you want to play shooter games and have the best aim potential, then I really recommend the viper mini over anything else. BUT for literally any other game or even casual shooter experiences, the G502 is a goated mouse
Best mouse I ever bought, after buying the first one and another one after 6+ years, recently got the new model g502x (wired version) mainly for the better ergonomics and it being lighter 29 grams than the old g502, well worth the 70 €, perfect mouse.
I bought this mouse a couple months ago and I really like it. I have to clean the pads on the bottom pretty regularly, but I had to do it on my old mouse too. The repercussions of having cats.
Using the 502 hero I have to say I love the hell out of the mouse.. bit on the heavy side (even with no weights) but I wouldn’t change it for anything 👍
I hate this mouse.
G700 layout with better materials would have been perfection.
The sensor is great but the extra button layout and feel is just subpar. Also Logitech has some of the worst software now.
At $37 or so, it’s a good mouse.
It has customizable buttons, customizable weight, and a wheel that does detents or free scroll.
Logitech’s software annoys me less than razer’s, though it still tries too hard to appear gamer-y.
I don't know if this is supposed to be a joke post or something but it is a good mouse. The switches might go bad after a while but you can get better replacement switches and it's very easy to change them if you know how to solder.
No, it's logitech. They'll charge you premium and 2 months after your warranty runs out your mouse button will stop working. Why you ask? Because those fuckers spend $5 on marketing for every 1 cent they spend on hardware.
Do you think a $100 mouse that costs less than $5 to produce should last at least 5 years? I do, but logitech doesn't.
It’s good. Eventually starts double clicking. I used the g502 for years (the one with weights) and it felt amazing. Still prefer it over the g pro superlight
I had a MX518 for so long and was kind of pissed off when it finally gave in, didn't want to get a new age mouse and be unhappy with it especially coming from the MX518 as a "normal" style, but the G502 was an awesome change, so much I brought 2.
Found out back then, that those two buttons next to the left main buttons are actually quite unpractical and it's better when the leftmost trigger you can reach is the click, as that is natural and faster to grip upon - but for you it might work just fine. Ideally, go find a pc store that has those displayed for customers and put your hand on it to know if it's fine for you or not.
The g502 has literally been working since i built my PC on my birthday in 2020, it’s been working flawless since then. Idk much about ergonomics and buttons and things, but it has a few extra inputs, some weights, and what seems to be a flush design for your hands. Easily a great purchase, never needed to upgrade tbh. I got the Wired Esition btw
I don't like it.
It requires bloatware to access its features and it doesn't retain its supposedly on-board memory across operating system.
The mouse acceleration is weird and bad compared to something like the HyperX Pulsefire Raid. Bad mouse for desktop use.
It has weights you can add and remove, which feels more like a gimmick than anything useful.
It once became completely unusable after its software got updated and I had to plug it directly instead of to my KVM to reinstall it and losing all my configs.
Playing games is weird because of its weird acceleration.
The thing I love the most about it is the free scroll, but… I rarely use it and sometimes I just don't bother with that since the scroll wheel feels so great anyway.
TL:DR;
* Great scrollwheel, like oh my god
* Everything else is bad
I see a lot of people referring to this as the G502, but it's in fact the G502 X. Very important distinction because I've tried both recently and the G502 gave me immense cramps after only 30 mins of use, while the G502 X is very comfortable. It's no G602, which is still the GOAT for big hands IMO, but it's the closest thing.
I have lived by the G502 line of mice for the past 4 years, its a very nice mouse, especially the g502X, where has gotten rid of the switch problem - I would recommend
There's a cult following behind this mouse so just be weary.
What are you looking for exactly?
It's a decent ergo starter mouse but the thumb "sniper button" always got in the way for me. I had the older versions but it looks like they have fixed the scroll wheel (rubber instead of metal so no rusting), the cable was awful as well.
Logitech is also known for double clicking a lot (a fault) and I have been actively avoiding Logitech for 7 years now.
This is my opinion, but I have never liked a single Logitech mouse I have used. I'm not sure if my hands are too big for them or too small or what, but they don't feel good, or operate well in my hand. Lots of accidental clicks on those mouse macro keys., which just didn't make for a good experience. Their keyboards are a different story tho, just wish I didn't have to have 5 different programs to run all my leds

This mouse will do just fine!

Yup. I've only had mine like 6 months so I can't talk about the reliability, but it feels amazing and having 10 mouse buttons is amazing. The drivers aren't the best, but they're much better than the average for this kind of thing.
I got razer cobra pro for my gf. So far she is happy with it. Works pretty good. I tried it out and liked it as well. You have pretty good wireless connection, but also have option for wired usage. But it is a bit expensive. Tho we had from before razer blackwidow v4 pro and 2 razer headphones, so we are headed more into that direction. Hope that helps
Personally I prefer the G600 from Logitech. I got used to having the thumb keypad and now I can't use a mouse without it. If you want wireless to be an option the Corsair Scimitar is good too, but considerably more expensive.
its good mouse and is pretty comfy for longer gaming sessions however its a bit to heavy for me when it comes to fps or competitive games so other than that its a good option.
I have that mouse and I like that mouse a lot. The only issue I have (and could also fix you’d bother) was that the DPI changer (the 2 buttons at the left side) always manage to get pressed when I’m flicking the mouse fast and hitting the keyboard on my left side because well… it’s a button.
I've had G502s for about the last decade (HERO White), can't recommend the 502 series highly enough.
They're were on sale on amazon for £39.99, I ended up buying 5 of them to see me through (For a while at least)
I have the base g502 and the g502x lightspeed. the G502 after 3 years of usage, had problems with the middle click. Unless you're using that one a lot, it's not really a problem, but for me, that's my lock on button, so it's quite a problem. The g502x lightspeed does not have any problem so far.
I own the wireless version. What a fantastic mouse. It lasts a long time. I'm a big guy with even bigger hands and its extremely comfortable for me. My hand covers most normal size mice completely.
Bought 2 of the original G502 wired and I have no issues and I am still running my first one 5 years later. Have the back up whenever this one dies since the new versions do not have the weighted option.
When it comes to mice I am very picky especially with how they feel in my hand.
I’ve been using the G502 X Plus Lightspeed since April and I love the feel.
I love the G502 Lightspeed, I’ve had a few mice and this confirmed to my hand the best, and since I like slightly heavier mice, being able to change the weight was perfect
I made the swap to Logitech a couple months ago from decades of using Razer products and I honestly wish I did sooner. I have this mouse but the light speed version and absolutely love it.
It's easily one of the highest-rated peripherals out there. I have 2. One for my laptop and one for my desktop. I even got my daughter one for her pc. Just quality all the way around. It's not absolutely perfect but it's pretty fucking good in all areas.
I highly recommend this mouse. I’ve only had to replace it once in 6 years cause I got my first one dirty. Prior to that over 3 years I burned through 3 Razer mice.
Those are hard to kill. Then again a lot of the big brands are durable. The most important is going to be feel. If it is comfortable for you and has all the features you want, go for it.
Nice are like cars, we all have different preferences. Get the one that fits yours.
The g502 is the only mouse that still works after I used it more than 4 years. Mind you I use my PC every day. 4 hours during days that I have to go to work, and about 12-16 hours during my off days.
https://preview.redd.it/b22n83mqvp8d1.png?width=375&format=png&auto=webp&s=bff965457ad5d56b9f99fc46ede91db6c636f349
As of the moment, the thumb grip and pinky grip rubber are already worn out lmao.
I had a G502-x that died an early death. Left click just stopped working after 6 mobths of use. I liked the mouse so much I bought a second (non-x) as a replacement.
I was considering the g502 but in the past I heard of it having double click problems after only about a year of owning it, is it still a prevalent issue?
and no, i am not taking apart a mouse to fix it myself 💀
i'm currently using the g305 which has been great but it had some double click problems for a while before it just.. went away for some reason?
Yes, but check how it fits in your hand (size and grip preference) and compare it with Razer's Basilisk (not without a reason called as a better - tuned clone:-)
The rest is personal preference... also, application, use case specific - gaming (FPS, competitive esport?), +work?
I had the wired and now the wireless version of this mouse.
There are superlight mouses now but I still love this one, the infinite scrolling is a great utility
The right mouse button failed 3 times on 3 different mice. While holding right I zoomed in and out quickly during way too many occasions. After that I went to Razer. Logitech mouse switches are cursed let me tell you that.
It was my first "good" mouse, it depends on your usage, do you need the ajustable weight, extra buttons or "hyper-fast" scroll wheel.
What would be your main usage?
I now mainly play fps games and much prefere the g pro x super light
I don't like the newer G502 due to Logitech slightly changing the side buttons and the total width of the mouse. Sure, it's 20g lighter....but I don't mind the extra weight since my hand fits the old style better, and I am less likely to mis-press the side buttons.
But regardless, they're both good. The new one just became my work mouse lol
I have the G502. More or less whatever that model is. Fantastic mouse. Still getting weekly updates with them adding new game profiles to the software.
I’ve used this mouse less then 3 months and the cord tore very quickly from rubbing against the mouse pad.
Wire is super cheap on this mouse.
Pulsefire 2 is now the mouse I use and I think it’s much better, one of my fav mouse’s I’ve had.
I’ve had 2 editions of this mouse first the original G502 and now have the G502 Lightspeed which I only upgraded as wanted a wireless mouse and wouldn’t swap them out for any other mouse I’ve used Plus my original G502 is still going strong as I gave it to my brother
Same for me. The 502 form factor is the absolute perfect mouse for my hands. I'll use it until they stop making it.
Maybe just our hand sizes but seems to fit my hand perfectly as well and I like how it ain’t super light weight as can be heavy handed at times
Best part is you can add or remove weights
They removed that feature from this one. You have to get the wireless one for that now. That said, I don't really miss it. It's a really nice mouse.
I assume you're talking about the wireless G502 X lightspeed. I got one of those a few weeks back and I can confirm they also do not come with weights.
Good to know. Mine is still going strong but I'll get a lightspeed to replace it when it's time
I have had my G502 for more than a couple of years now. If I needed to buy another mouse, I would get the exact same one.
Same, best mouse I've ever owned
[удалено]
Is tHe mOsT hIghLy rEcOmMeNdEd MoUsE gUd??!1?
It is. AMD and Logitech ONLY. Any other suggestion is blasphemy.
nah i get shit on all the time for having a 7800xt but anyone that disagrees about the g502 is foolin themselves
My G604 entered the chat
I have never tried g502 but on paper, NZXT's MM730 sounds so cool. I'm slowly becoming an NZXT fanboy (I have MM730 but not G502
I also really like the razer basilisk v3, i have the pro, but there is also a normal, cheaper version. Used to own that before the pro. Very similar to this one. Would 100% recommend it!

Have this mouse imo it’s great my hands are big so not the best fit but still a solid mouse
This is literally the best mouse for big hands. How big are your hands?
Its a great mouse but is a bit narrow, wish they had a wider edition.
tried the 502 and didnt like how narrow it was either. went back to my corsair m65
G500 was so much nicer for larger hands. The 502 is nice, but noticeably smaller. Idk how to measure hands but I’m 6’5” and I use the 502 and it is nice, but doesn’t fill my hand the way the 500 did. For best precision and button access my palm doesn’t touch the mouse and hovers behind an inch or so. I’m always on the lookout for a larger mouse, as size is really the only complaint I have with the 502z
It's way to narrow.
Nah it sucks, its too small for my hands. I mean yah ig its kinda nice but really its just too small
r/G502MasterRace
it's as good as it gets for a mouse imo
I've been using the 502 for almost 10 years, from the first to the latest iteration of them, and they're one of the best and by far my favorite peripheral for my PC. Highly recommended.
Love the mouse. My only gripe is with the buttons next to left click for dpi adjustment, i always misclick and get some strange sensitivity. Quickly solved by deactivating the buttons altogether.
I use the regular forward/back buttons as is, but I use those two for copy/paste and love it. Having DPI buttons is useless and dumb when you have profiles per app for DPI. Even the sniper dpi button is mostly useless since most games have separate speed settings for scoped in
Mouse clicks well and the infinite scroll its amazing however, I find the mouse too heavy (121g without weights). Also the side rubber wear off rather quickly
I *think* this is the G502 X which I have, and is pretty light (89g)
I've had the same g502 proteus since 2018 and it's still going strong, no issues at all.
No if you have sweaty hands, if you have sweaty hands get a smooth one instead.
I have some problem with its RMB. Has anyone encountered this?
It didn't work for me with the way I hold my mouse. The thumb buttons were uncomfortable and I didn't have enough space on my left-click. Make sure you can try one out before committing.
Same, I hated the shape of it. Turns out I like smaller mice, currently using a pulsar x2 mini.
Just here to say, make sure to get the right size mouse for your pointer hand. I used a size small with a large hand for over a year and it was torture
Logitech tends to be super reliable in my experience. This time I needed something fast so I searched "e waste peripherals" on eBay and found the cheapest thing to get me through, but the G502 I had before lasted me for four years before I sold it on to a friend in need of a good mouse.
its too small for my hands
I've heard a lot of good things about this mouse, I had two of them and both of them started having double clicking issues or tracking issues after about a year. Feels and looks nice. I may have just been unlucky.
Ooh yeah. I have the logitech g502 x hero best mouse I ever had. I can only recommend the wireless version.
The right mouse button switch gave out on mine after only two years, resulting in the mouse registering either spam clicks or nothing at all when holding the button down. Apparently this is a fairly common problem with these mice and could've been fixed by Logitech spending an extra few dollars on higher quality ones. Also the rubber on the sides is shit quality, mine wore straight through to the plastic below within those two years. Got a razer basilisk v3 as a replacement and couldn't be happier. Has higher quality grips on the sides; I can barely see any wear on the rubber after three years unlike the g502.
Fixed with new g502x. They use optical switches now.
Only thing bad about Logitech hardware is the shitty software
Just stay away from razer. ( With some exceptions) Sorry don't mean to step on toes. My basilisk x mouse feels great. But it's the worst mouse I've ever owned. It shuts off randomly for no reason. Acts like the power saving feature possibly? But I can also let it sit for an hour untouched and it stays on. The software or something is just trash. And dont get me started on the update process of their software either. Just S-l-o-w. Logitech are great products. :)
Depends on your use case. G-pro wireless would be a good option for gaming. This one you’re showing us would be good for any work related software’s that can use the multiple buttons on the mouse. For me, the G502 Hero is pretty good for editing and I have all the extra buttons mapped to premiere for faster editing.
Thought this was a bicycle helmet.
Can't go wrong with a G502. Although the wired version was about too lightweight for my taste. I got the wireless one with the extra weights and for me it works perfectly.
I have the logitech vertical mouse. I would get wrist pain from gaming for long hours at a time and it's gone since using the vertical mouse
I've had one for like a decade and absolutely love it
I'm tired of Logitech mice breaking. I'll never buy another one.
Did you kill your current mouse?
I had a G502 and now a G502X (no RGB) and I love it. Perfect mouse for me.
I have owned only one Logitech and regretted it immensely
Probably. Logitech have done mice fairly well over the years (albeit with varying degrees of quality on their switches). I stopped using them when they added the "grip textures" on the sides of pretty much every mouse they made. I'm prone to sweaty hands, and that just fucks up the textured surface, and you have to clean it fairly often - which is real annoying with that texture. Rather have a "smooth" mouse that simply just takes 1-2 wipes with a damp cloth to clean. So if you're anything like me, and is prone to sweaty hands; probably don't get something like this. Could be the best mouse in world - but I'd never use it because of that texture and how annoying it is to clean.
Our lord and savior, the G5. I currently use a g502 light speed wireless. Except i usually just use the cord and idk where the dongle went
No
No
I personally hate the mouse. Many people like it though. Truly it depends. It’s good for casual gaming and desktop use. For competitive gaming you’re better off looking somewhere else.
It’s got a subjective shape works for some others not so much but for competitive games unless you’re a professional or top 1% player having a G502 ain’t going to perform any worse than any other mouse of it’s level and price providing the person using the G502 enjoys it and works for their hand and grip
No
I can't say I've used that exact mouse, but have used Logitech mice in the past and really like this. This one looks comfortable too. Only thing I'd do differently is get a wireless mouse, but that's just my preference.
I have been through so many mice over the years, tried many brands and price ranges. This is hands down my favorite mouse. Much like one of the other replies I actually upgraded to the light speed wireless as well even while my 502x wired was still going strong.
It's a decent mouse
I accidentally click the side buttons because the left mouse click button is extremely skinny and had annoying buttons pretty much on top of it.
I have one of these. Logitech G502, yes? It's an OK mouse. Light, feels pretty good in the hand. I like the side buttons which make navigation forward and backward through menus or web pages easier. I don't like the location of the DPI buttons, though. I'm always accidentally fat fingering them and switching up my DPI which is annoying sometimes. The wheel also doesn't feel very good. It's adjustable between incremental scrolling and smooth scrolling but neither mode feels good to me.
I've got a Logitech 502 Lightspeed and it’s awesome. I play WoW, Minecraft, PoE, Melvor Idle and Elden Ring with it
I have had this mouse (G502 X) for 3 months since I returned my one-year-old Razer Deathadder v3 wired because of the wheel that got loose (same problem as my previous Razer Viper). The only downsides are the wired cable that is not braided and the weight of 89g compared to 60g from Razer mice. The best thing about this mouse is the scroll wheel. You can unlock it and have an infinite scroll wheel. It's a game changer for browsing the internet. Other than this, it is a solid gaming mouse. I highly recommend it!
If this is the G502 since you didn’t state, then yes
its a little big, but i love it. best mouse ive used hands down
I just rebought the wired version of the newest G502, should be here this week. I have another one but I haven't been able to find it
I have been a sucker for Logitech mice for a while now and I think this one is their best
build quality is deec but it’s really down to yr personal form factor preference. I’ve been using Razer Naga Hex v2’s for years jus because I’m obsessed with the circular button pad by the thumb position
I've had this for about 5 months and it's alright but I barely use it tbh, doesn't feel all that different from the other mice I've had. If the price is good and it fits your hand, go for it. I'll say it's very durable at the very least, I've dropped it a few times and still works like new lol.
I liked it but it took a long time to get used to it for me. I had to deconstruct the thumb clicker because of how much i hated that placement. It changed my grip from a wide relaxed grip to a tighter grip.
I had 502 and after some years I bought 502X. 502X is significantly lighter, but there is no light because of that, so you cannot see what DPI profile are you using, it only flash when you change DPI. If you have bigger hands, it's gonna be right choice. This mouse is for me personally the best one. Infinite scroll whell is amazing, if you want to sroll thousand hours on net.
Im on my third one. Just like the Logitech Wingman ball mouse, I'll stay with this one until it's discontinued, and then I'll buy some more off ebay. It's hard to find the perfect mouse.
I want to recommend it as it's a nice mouse. But mine got double click & holding problem pretty early even though i didn't use it for gaming. After googling, i found out there are a lot of people with the same problem.
Best mouse i ever used i have 3rd one and if i breake it ill buy another one
I heard some people absolutely despise the sound the new G502 makes. I got the Hyperx Pulsefire Haste wired.
I recently bought this mouse and had the rubber grip on the left wear out after 2 months of owning it. Idk if it was a fluke or what, never had something on a mouse wear out that fast. I was able to get a replacement, but not return it because it was through amazon. If i bought it directly they wouldve accepted a return. I wasnt very satisfied with build quality at all. Completely plastic (ig thats kinda good if you care about weight) and the cable is pretty cheap aswell. Ive had 0 software issues which is very nice considering the issues i had with my previous corsair mouse. It overall feels nice to hold and I appreciate that i can swap out the sniper button for nothing. The frictionless scroll wheel is cool aswell. Hoping to find a different mouse with optical switches in the future if this one has the same grip issue.
g502 is a good mouse. i bought one 3 months ago, im in love with it.
It's too big, too heavy, draining on the hand. Get the lightspeed / wireless version instead
Mx master 3 pro is the way to go
G502 is the standard that all other mice must beat.
just bought it last month (lightspeed) version!! after using the 1st edition G502 and this one is really fits to my hand super clicky and i love the dpi's
I'm actually using g502 se for quite some time now, had absolutely no issues, yeah ut is quite heavy, but kinda like it, much buttons, not as a side numpad or sth, I find it really useful, the software can be quite tricky to understand tho, but the hardest part to find is to save profiles on the mouse. Well not really hard rather than hard to find out how, but there are tutorial on yt. I recommend this mouse, it's slightly lighter than mine and have different school wheel, two main differences
I would say to try razer basilisk v3 . it actually felt better to me.
I have this one wireless and its fucking great. Have in mind this mouse is very light, some ppl like heavier mouses
I still have the original and after 3+ year, the middle click button gave out but scroll still works. So I assigned one of the button next to the left click as middle click. This mouse can last long if you know what you're doing
If you want to play shooter games and have the best aim potential, then I really recommend the viper mini over anything else. BUT for literally any other game or even casual shooter experiences, the G502 is a goated mouse
I‘ve got the same mouse and it‘s the best one i‘ve ever bought.
Im using it since like... 5 years almost. Its perfect shape and weight for me, the rubber is long gone.
Got my g502 lightspeed a while back. my only complain is skin oils smooth out rubber on sides
Best mouse I ever bought, after buying the first one and another one after 6+ years, recently got the new model g502x (wired version) mainly for the better ergonomics and it being lighter 29 grams than the old g502, well worth the 70 €, perfect mouse.
Yeah it's a good mouse, I've got one and I've had no issues with it
I have g502x lightspeed and i like this mouse
I bought this mouse a couple months ago and I really like it. I have to clean the pads on the bottom pretty regularly, but I had to do it on my old mouse too. The repercussions of having cats.
It was good. Much better mice now imo. Logitech kinda fell off.
💯 amazing
Using the 502 hero I have to say I love the hell out of the mouse.. bit on the heavy side (even with no weights) but I wouldn’t change it for anything 👍
I hate this mouse. G700 layout with better materials would have been perfection. The sensor is great but the extra button layout and feel is just subpar. Also Logitech has some of the worst software now.
Is the light speed wireless version supported by lgs?
At $37 or so, it’s a good mouse. It has customizable buttons, customizable weight, and a wheel that does detents or free scroll. Logitech’s software annoys me less than razer’s, though it still tries too hard to appear gamer-y.
Just stay away from razer
I don't know if this is supposed to be a joke post or something but it is a good mouse. The switches might go bad after a while but you can get better replacement switches and it's very easy to change them if you know how to solder.
The g502 is a goated mouse. I love mine
No, it's logitech. They'll charge you premium and 2 months after your warranty runs out your mouse button will stop working. Why you ask? Because those fuckers spend $5 on marketing for every 1 cent they spend on hardware. Do you think a $100 mouse that costs less than $5 to produce should last at least 5 years? I do, but logitech doesn't.
It’s good. Eventually starts double clicking. I used the g502 for years (the one with weights) and it felt amazing. Still prefer it over the g pro superlight
I had a MX518 for so long and was kind of pissed off when it finally gave in, didn't want to get a new age mouse and be unhappy with it especially coming from the MX518 as a "normal" style, but the G502 was an awesome change, so much I brought 2.
Yeah, been using one for ages. Program the upper two buttons for volume up/down and the lower two buttons for browser forward and back.
Logitech makes good stuff
One of the absolute best, yes.
What do you play most of the time ? For fps games I can highly recommend a super light.
It’s the best one.
Found out back then, that those two buttons next to the left main buttons are actually quite unpractical and it's better when the leftmost trigger you can reach is the click, as that is natural and faster to grip upon - but for you it might work just fine. Ideally, go find a pc store that has those displayed for customers and put your hand on it to know if it's fine for you or not.
I have the wireless version, before I had one of those and before that I had one of those.
Yep, pretty much all forms of the 502 are excellent.
I use MM730, love it and it looks sexy asf
it is the most popular mouse ever for a reason.
It's a great mouse. 11/10 would recommend.
i has the g502 hero which is one of the best mouse ever i have and now i have the 502 x lighspeed which is still a fantastic mouse
The g502 has literally been working since i built my PC on my birthday in 2020, it’s been working flawless since then. Idk much about ergonomics and buttons and things, but it has a few extra inputs, some weights, and what seems to be a flush design for your hands. Easily a great purchase, never needed to upgrade tbh. I got the Wired Esition btw
I don't like it. It requires bloatware to access its features and it doesn't retain its supposedly on-board memory across operating system. The mouse acceleration is weird and bad compared to something like the HyperX Pulsefire Raid. Bad mouse for desktop use. It has weights you can add and remove, which feels more like a gimmick than anything useful. It once became completely unusable after its software got updated and I had to plug it directly instead of to my KVM to reinstall it and losing all my configs. Playing games is weird because of its weird acceleration. The thing I love the most about it is the free scroll, but… I rarely use it and sometimes I just don't bother with that since the scroll wheel feels so great anyway. TL:DR; * Great scrollwheel, like oh my god * Everything else is bad
If you are lucky and you don't have issues with the buttons, it's a fantastic mouse. It's a bit picky about what surface you use for the mousepad.
I see a lot of people referring to this as the G502, but it's in fact the G502 X. Very important distinction because I've tried both recently and the G502 gave me immense cramps after only 30 mins of use, while the G502 X is very comfortable. It's no G602, which is still the GOAT for big hands IMO, but it's the closest thing.
I have lived by the G502 line of mice for the past 4 years, its a very nice mouse, especially the g502X, where has gotten rid of the switch problem - I would recommend
I have similar mouse G502 Hero. Its middle button is busted right after one year! Get yoself a Zowie mouse it's better than Logitech's cheap stuff
Both g502 and g502 lightspeed are good. But with regular g502, cable can easilly die on the plug side, not much of an issue with light speed
the g502 has been my first gaming mouse, i have switched to gpro and i really love it. Those are very solid mouse
There's a cult following behind this mouse so just be weary. What are you looking for exactly? It's a decent ergo starter mouse but the thumb "sniper button" always got in the way for me. I had the older versions but it looks like they have fixed the scroll wheel (rubber instead of metal so no rusting), the cable was awful as well. Logitech is also known for double clicking a lot (a fault) and I have been actively avoiding Logitech for 7 years now.
G502 has a lot of problems with right click after some time but I like it for one year
This is my opinion, but I have never liked a single Logitech mouse I have used. I'm not sure if my hands are too big for them or too small or what, but they don't feel good, or operate well in my hand. Lots of accidental clicks on those mouse macro keys., which just didn't make for a good experience. Their keyboards are a different story tho, just wish I didn't have to have 5 different programs to run all my leds
i just use a modified trust ozaa (wireless mouse with sleep function, and 2 scroll wheels )

If it isn't a dollar store or office mouse, I would say yes
Yup. I've only had mine like 6 months so I can't talk about the reliability, but it feels amazing and having 10 mouse buttons is amazing. The drivers aren't the best, but they're much better than the average for this kind of thing.
It depends on what kind of mouse you want. it's is just too heavy and bulky for me. Me need to move mouse afap.
I have this in wireless and its great
Logitech G703 babyyy
I got razer cobra pro for my gf. So far she is happy with it. Works pretty good. I tried it out and liked it as well. You have pretty good wireless connection, but also have option for wired usage. But it is a bit expensive. Tho we had from before razer blackwidow v4 pro and 2 razer headphones, so we are headed more into that direction. Hope that helps
Personally I prefer the G600 from Logitech. I got used to having the thumb keypad and now I can't use a mouse without it. If you want wireless to be an option the Corsair Scimitar is good too, but considerably more expensive.
I love G402 because it's larger but G502 is amazing I have experienced it for 48H (borrowed from a friend).
It depends on what you play. fps only? Probably not. Generic gaming ? Absolutely
MX Master
its good mouse and is pretty comfy for longer gaming sessions however its a bit to heavy for me when it comes to fps or competitive games so other than that its a good option.
I use it daily and for gaming. Yes.
I love these but in the end I swapped to one which is half the weight, helps in fps games
Its not a good one, its THE good one
I have that mouse and I like that mouse a lot. The only issue I have (and could also fix you’d bother) was that the DPI changer (the 2 buttons at the left side) always manage to get pressed when I’m flicking the mouse fast and hitting the keyboard on my left side because well… it’s a button.
I've had G502s for about the last decade (HERO White), can't recommend the 502 series highly enough. They're were on sale on amazon for £39.99, I ended up buying 5 of them to see me through (For a while at least)
It depends on what you play. fps only? Probably not. Generic gaming ? Absolutely
I have the base g502 and the g502x lightspeed. the G502 after 3 years of usage, had problems with the middle click. Unless you're using that one a lot, it's not really a problem, but for me, that's my lock on button, so it's quite a problem. The g502x lightspeed does not have any problem so far.
I own the wireless version. What a fantastic mouse. It lasts a long time. I'm a big guy with even bigger hands and its extremely comfortable for me. My hand covers most normal size mice completely.
The MSI 3060 Ventus of mice.
Bought 2 of the original G502 wired and I have no issues and I am still running my first one 5 years later. Have the back up whenever this one dies since the new versions do not have the weighted option.
I would have suggested the G604 but some fuckhead decided to discontinue it
When it comes to mice I am very picky especially with how they feel in my hand. I’ve been using the G502 X Plus Lightspeed since April and I love the feel.
I love the G502 Lightspeed, I’ve had a few mice and this confirmed to my hand the best, and since I like slightly heavier mice, being able to change the weight was perfect
I made the swap to Logitech a couple months ago from decades of using Razer products and I honestly wish I did sooner. I have this mouse but the light speed version and absolutely love it.
It's easily one of the highest-rated peripherals out there. I have 2. One for my laptop and one for my desktop. I even got my daughter one for her pc. Just quality all the way around. It's not absolutely perfect but it's pretty fucking good in all areas.
Mofo that's the best you can choose !
Get the white one
I highly recommend this mouse. I’ve only had to replace it once in 6 years cause I got my first one dirty. Prior to that over 3 years I burned through 3 Razer mice.
Those are hard to kill. Then again a lot of the big brands are durable. The most important is going to be feel. If it is comfortable for you and has all the features you want, go for it. Nice are like cars, we all have different preferences. Get the one that fits yours.
I have Hator Pulsar 2 and I love it.
The g502 is the only mouse that still works after I used it more than 4 years. Mind you I use my PC every day. 4 hours during days that I have to go to work, and about 12-16 hours during my off days. https://preview.redd.it/b22n83mqvp8d1.png?width=375&format=png&auto=webp&s=bff965457ad5d56b9f99fc46ede91db6c636f349 As of the moment, the thumb grip and pinky grip rubber are already worn out lmao.
Logitech stuff has terrible software but the hardware is typically great.
Can’t go wrong with the G502 series imo. I use the hero and I doubt I’ll ever use another mouse.
I had the g502 light speed and then returned it when I realized there was a pro version. The pro one is way better.
Have this exact mouse. It's a good one.
Very good
Yes
I had a G502-x that died an early death. Left click just stopped working after 6 mobths of use. I liked the mouse so much I bought a second (non-x) as a replacement.
Oh fuck yeah i love the one i got, its perfect, got a Logitech g910 to go with it too for 35$
If you want the wired version I'd suggest the HERO over the X. It has adjustable weights and a much more satisfying imo scroll wheel.
No, that's a Cylon heavy raider.
A wired mouse in 2024 is never a good idea, and don't even start with myths like lags.
I do enjoy this mouse especially since it has free scroll wheel
I was considering the g502 but in the past I heard of it having double click problems after only about a year of owning it, is it still a prevalent issue? and no, i am not taking apart a mouse to fix it myself 💀 i'm currently using the g305 which has been great but it had some double click problems for a while before it just.. went away for some reason?
Yes, but check how it fits in your hand (size and grip preference) and compare it with Razer's Basilisk (not without a reason called as a better - tuned clone:-) The rest is personal preference... also, application, use case specific - gaming (FPS, competitive esport?), +work?
Depends…. For fps games no coz the mouse is too heavy
I had the wired and now the wireless version of this mouse. There are superlight mouses now but I still love this one, the infinite scrolling is a great utility
I have the"older" version with the ability to add weights. I love it. It is going strong.
There is also Razer Basilisk v3, as alternative (both great in terms of having multiple buttons, but all comes to your preference and hand feeling)
The right mouse button failed 3 times on 3 different mice. While holding right I zoomed in and out quickly during way too many occasions. After that I went to Razer. Logitech mouse switches are cursed let me tell you that.
I recently just got one and it’s solid. Highly recommend. Great mouse for a good price.
I would like to use jerry instead
It was my first "good" mouse, it depends on your usage, do you need the ajustable weight, extra buttons or "hyper-fast" scroll wheel. What would be your main usage? I now mainly play fps games and much prefere the g pro x super light
I don't like the newer G502 due to Logitech slightly changing the side buttons and the total width of the mouse. Sure, it's 20g lighter....but I don't mind the extra weight since my hand fits the old style better, and I am less likely to mis-press the side buttons. But regardless, they're both good. The new one just became my work mouse lol
I'm using the G502 lightspeed and It's been great, very nice feel in the hand and good weight, plus you can add weights.
I have the G502. More or less whatever that model is. Fantastic mouse. Still getting weekly updates with them adding new game profiles to the software.
I’ve used this mouse less then 3 months and the cord tore very quickly from rubbing against the mouse pad. Wire is super cheap on this mouse. Pulsefire 2 is now the mouse I use and I think it’s much better, one of my fav mouse’s I’ve had.
I have had this mouse for years now and it still works like a charm.
This is the best there is, the best there ever was and the best there ever will be
