    @victor38542 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Man, I absolutely love the detail and breadth of that review for a mouse, it's really, really cool! Subscribed ;-)
    Also I must say I've been a fan of Logitech's 500-series for a long time (I had two MX500's before getting a G502 in the 2010's), and I've rarely if ever wanted to buy a new one because of new features --- the shape, the general design is just good enough for me. I gamed on MX500's and then on 502's regardless of their version. I owned so many FPS with that mouse, lol. I'm actually happy with my O.G. Proteus G502 right now, for what little gaming I do (and I tend to revert to my office/programmer MX Master in slow games where speed isn't a concern). But I'll definitely buy the X Plus when I replace my 502 : )

    • @Techtacula
      @Techtacula  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      yeah I totally feel that. Hence why I used a G502 for so long as well. MX Master 3 is my editing mouse while the 502 handled everything else. I have enter and delete bound to the G7 and G8 buttons and man the amount you can do without moving your hands as much increases so much XD
      But yeah you will be incredibly happy with the upgrade.

    • @khoonkiatong7522
      @khoonkiatong7522 ปีที่แล้ว

      hey there, how does the shape of the MX500 compare to the G502? been thinking about moving to a G502 for ages but used to the G500 shape, which is very similar to the MX500.

  • @earthly_leopard6497
    @earthly_leopard6497 ปีที่แล้ว +18

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

  • @VladKilljoy
    @VladKilljoy ปีที่แล้ว

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

    @Sportiax_XCVII 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

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

    • @Techtacula
      @Techtacula  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

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

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

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

      I ordered it I came from an old g503 lightspeed. Went with the g503x plus. I got it today and the difference is amazingly much for me could never really reach the sniper button and I use it a lot I improved my gameplay by tons. I paid 135 this is a lot of money for me in these inflation times but for me it's deff worth it. I suggest everyone wondering if they should upgrade see if they can test it out at an local seller or if you have a 30day return policy as in the Netherlands to try it out. It's amazing and it feels like a big improvement in everyway.

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

    • @Techtacula

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

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

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

I have 2 different G5 mice (the og and the 2nd version with 2 thumb buttons), a G500, and a G502 Proteus that I'm currently using. I've tried friends' various Razer mice over the years, but the shape of the logitech G series stuff just seems to feel more comfortable to me, plus I am so spoiled by the Hyperscroll wheel that I don't think I can go back. I might grab one of the new designs after watching this, and yeah I also wondered if there is anyone out there that added more weight to the G502 😂???

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

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

    • @Techtacula
      @Techtacula  ปีที่แล้ว

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

    Nice review and video. I am a very LLLOOONNNGGG time Logitech user and supporter. Not sure if the MX series of mice or the G series was introduced first - but in the overall shape between the two series is very close to each other. The MX series does have a few buttons on the left hand side where the thumb goes and both series have that resting pad for the thumb. The MX Master 2s can be "Paired" with up to 3 computers - if that would be an option the G Series users might want or not but I have found it useful for me. The MX series is Optical and wireless mainly but can be used wired with a standard micro usb cable. I have done this when I forget to charge the battery and it SssLllOooWwwSss done to a crawl.

But if not or you don't play often, and want something that would be a little more comfortable due to being a bit bigger, then the G502 X Lightspeed or X Plus is the way to go. Hope that helps!

Ive been looking for a replacement to try but if its anything other than high end im gonna feel like its a downgrade. logitech in my mind is low end generic brand that over the years has grown into a pretty dope company. And the g502 x plus looks dope . i may have to give that a try..
    BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!
    What software does logitech use? because if i have to use ANOTHER software im gonna jump off a cliff.. Not wanting to add another rgb software has limited my options a ton.
    MSI Dragon center - msi meg z390 godlike/ msi gxt 3090ti/ case argb/ case rgb. case fans

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

    • @Techtacula
      @Techtacula  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah USB C is finally in that stage that we are seeing way more adoption for it. And absolutely, you will need to like the shape ofc, G pro superlight and this are completely different shapes, it just depends what you are looking for.

      Yeah its a pain that logitech didn't make a true replacement for the g700s when they retired it. I was using a g903 to make do for a while after my g700s died, and I have recently been using the g502 which has also been okay, but not a true replacement. The two giant dpi buttons next to the right click can be remapped so its close to the g700s experience but I wish they would just make another mouse with two rows of side buttons on one side. They already did it once, I don't understand why its so hard to do again.

      @Techtacula  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

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

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