Logitech need to refresh a 403/703 with updated specs and without the rubber. It's the only mouse I want. Nothing else has ever come close to it's comfort.
I currently have my G703 on RMA because the mouse wheel stopped working. Assuming that I am given the option of a refund vs. a new one, I will choose a new one. I usually avoid doing that, for instance, I had an ussye Logitech G512 which seems to be pretty common (keycaps peeling off after a couple of months of use) so I ended up getting a refund and buying something else because I would probably end up with the same problem a couple of months later. However, in the case of the G703, I just don't know what else can I get that is at least as good (and the problem doesn't seem to be as prevalent as with the keycaps I mentioned). Especially since I bought it on sale for 40€ and it is virtually impossible to buy something on par with the G703 for that price these days. Even if I bump it up to 80~100€, I am not sure if there is something that is objectively better.
@@pedroalbuquerquebs I bought the outset ax, which is similar and objectively better in terms of specs, but I still can't get over the comfort of the 403 I had
Definitely agree. 2 of the best shapes ive tried are the 703 and Mamba (elite i think, the wired one). They could just use the 703 mold and remove the rubber sides and a lot of the internal plastic. And use the Gpx2 internals, Omron opticals and the same mousewheel. Add griptape for the sides and thats it. I just dont get it why they refuse to so nothing with the 703 variant
Madcatz RAT 8+ with all the weight here, been using a bunch of mouses over the years, (others rats, razers, logitech, glorious etc) but nothing compare to a RAT in terms of comfort in my hand. Also I believe that if people are bothered by having to move 50 more grams, they should try to fix their muscular atrophy instead of just buying a lighter mouse lmao
I find 3D printing mice from Printables gets you 90% of the mouse feel and if you are new to mice, gets you an idea of what mouse shapes feel comfortable.
I honestly think heavier mouse is more comfortable, I like the stopping force it gives. My hands shake alot and i can never get the mouse to stop where i want it to when using a lighter mouse
same I'm on my second g502, why second you might ask, well i had the wired version since 2021 and recently upgraded to wireless, the wired one is used by my sister.
to be completely honest, if you're comfortable enough with wired. Sensors nowadays are all very very good and the 4k and 8k implementations hardly have any impact besides 360hz monitors, especially in games where static clicking is the most common. Ended up time and time just going back to the xm1r, premium build and the best coating by far.
Xm1r is an incredible mouse. I paid like 50€ for it and its performance is amazing and zero flaws. Not like my RV2P which has the dreaded scroll wheel issues
I like the button layout of G502 and Im using swiftpoint Z now. I know it is too heavy for competitive gaming ,but hey ,these buttons really helps me out in various games and daily uses.
I was the type of guy that was changing his mouse every year because he got bored of it. Until... I found G502 X Plus. Man that's a beauty. The buttons, the design of the white version, the fast scrolling-wheel button, the RGB. The only thing that I would like to see in a new version is that exact mouse but being lighter. I bought my second one now because the old one started having rarely buggy wheel (had it for an year and a half, but man you can't expect new mice to live more than that).
Great video as always, but I would like to add one thing: polling stability. Sensor matters very very little ever since 3310 (yes, i know, i know all about the error calculation, response rate blah blah- frankly, even the Avago 3050 sensor is also good enough for competitive fps gaming). What matters way more is the polling stability, motion latency and click latency. Roccat, Steelseries, MSI Clutch series, and many lesser mice had been tested with horrendous polling stability and motion latency. Even the new released GPX2 was tested with some variation of polling instability. Lamzu, Coolermaster, Vaxee, Zowie, Razer, Logitech, Corsair and even some smaller Chinese companies has been releasing with very good performing specs.
I'm not sure how you can say polling stability and latency matter when sensors don't. All of them are good enough on modern mice that there isn't all that much difference in game.
G502 is objectively not a good mouse. The best mouse ever is the op1 8k in my opinion. Everyone has different taste for mice, but unless you don't need to move your mouse like if you only play geometry dash, i just can't see how a 127 grams mouse can compete in the realm of gaming mice. I've had the G502 hero for years now and i switched to the op1 8k which is the perfect mouse for me. The op1 8k is less expensive than the G502 (only $75) and it competes with mice over $150 in terms of performance.
@@quads4407 look up the definition of "objective" please, just because you agree with the circlejerk it doesn't mean it's the actual truth. G502 is popular for a reason
Had a wired G502 for 7 years and just upgraded to the light speed version (My Corsair keyboard crapped out so replaced both). I didn't bother with the x or x Plus but I love it so much, plus I really need the extra buttons for gaming and I"ve not found a more comfortable mouse...
Shape really is the most important part of a mouse. The old MX500 - MX515 - MX518 and MX518 Legend fit my hand so *_perfectly_* .. and now they don't make them anymore. I am gnashing my teeth in such hopelessness and despair, that I might just buy a G502 !!
Yep, had a Teknet M009 mice which fit my hand like a glove. Fell for the hype and bought a G502 and the shape is terrible, there's no pinky rest so it doesn't fit right in my palm grip of my wide hand. Just ordered a Redragon M908, hopefully that is as comfy as it looks
average g502 enjoyer here. 7 years and still running. replace the mice feet and keep rolling. I might need some grip tape soon because the buttons are getting shiny and slick. I may pick up a g502x... I really like and use the extra buttons in every game I play.
I got G Pro Hero for over 5 years no issues, it has been discontinued Trying out G Pro Wireless but I will be connected. Hopefully the tradition continues.
There are a few topics i would like you to add to the decision to getting a good mouse. Quality Software, compatable features linked with other peripherals like the keyboard, in other words the ecosystem. Alternative buttons like multiple mouse wheels, button layouts and scroll wheel buttons. Programmability and customization. Design asthetic. And replacement stategy.
Bro, why is everyone hating on G502. I have the HERO model since 2019 and it's amazing. The build quality is good, it's sturdy, the buttons are working perfectly (all the 11), the software is also pretty great, and I also like the looks of it. It's also the most popular mouse as far as I know.
It’s big, heavy, and has a silly shape. It’s got a good price point but there’s so many other (better) mice with similar pricepoints. If you enjoy using it more power to you. It’s a fine mouse. It’s just an easy punching bag because it’s an extremely popular mouse and there’s better products that aren’t nearly as gaudy.
It comes down to Lightweight mice like the the G305 or the Razer Cobra/Viper Mini which are Objectivley better for gaming from a competitive standpoint being much cheaper. The G502 is pretty dated for gaming compared to modern standards, so while it's an amazing mouse, it's not a good gaming mouse.
One thing on the wireless mouse tip you mentioned the only issue you will have now is to remember to charge the battery, not true in my case and I can imagine others as well. I had a Ninjutso Sora 4k. Because these mice still use 2.4ghz, (should be switching to something different at this point.) You can have a potential issue if your using wifi bands on the same frequency. I have wifi 6e on one pc in my office and another hard wired. If al ot of data or traffic is passed through that band my wireless mice are practically worthless as they lag,skip and just flat out make for an unusable experience. Also tested this with a wireless Pulsar mouse, same issue. As soon as I plugged them into their cables, issue gone. I do have my router close by the mouse receiver as my current setup leaves me no choice but to put the eeros 6 pro on the computer desk with the 4k dongle close by. Perhaps proximity is the issue nonetheless its an issue with wireless.
There is only one point in high sensitivity (and don't forget about the response speed, at least the G502 setting). Take a brick, set it to 6000 Hz or 3600, and make minimal movements to move. And I also don't recommend the G502 (optical switches won't help if dust continues to clog the sensor)
One big downside to wireless mice is if you live in a house with a microwave that puts out enough interference to cause connection issues at 15feet. Just because you are outside that range doesn't mean that your mouse wont lag while its running. I wish I could replace that thing but I don't own it and its "still working" so I cant convince them to get rid of it for something better.
You know what's funny about heavy mice? The more you use them the more you get used to them. Also if you are taller I recommend heavier mice. The reason being you are just bigger as a person. I find myself at 6'3" kind of throwing the 502 around. When I clench I even don't realize that I have lifted it off the desk. Weight in my opinion is based on how big of a person you are and how easily you can use it. There is no right or wrong answer. I also think the 502 is in the spot of if it isn't broken, don't fix it. It's shaped well with good ergonomics and I can literally game all day with it. Personally I recommend a heavier mouse with higher sensitivity.
I've been using G502 since it was first released, although I only use it for non-competitive games. So anywhere from casual games, rts, etc. I have a separate mouse for games pvp games like valorant, apex, etc.
Still rocking my G703 for around 5 years. Tried many other, but none gives me the comfort of it. So I continue to speak my Logitech Prayers to make a G703 superlight. Maybe I will see this happen before I die ^^
I'm using G502 LIGHTSPEED with wireless charging, because I got big hand, and I love heavyweight mouses. For me it's awesome mice I ever used, and it's feeling cool and useful at least for me
Just had this pop up after I got the g502 hero because it was on sale xD I mostly play emulator and slow paced games so having a slightly heavier mouse with a higher dpi really made a difference for me. Thanks for the vid though! I've been so busy thinking about the pc and it's components I never thought about my mouse/keyboard. Recently got a mechanical keyboard from a thrift shop and I can't go back now xD
I've owned the Logitech G402 since 2019 and absolutely love it, especially for its extra button. However, the double-click issue has become a nightmare. After three years, it started having double-click problems, and now it's so bad that I can't even close a single tab in Chrome or use a DMR in games. Despite the good five-year service time, I'm considering replacing it. I'm looking at the Logitech G502 X wired, but I'm not confident in this decision. I'd like to try a Razer mouse instead, but I'm unsure which one to pick.
I really don't understand the targeted hate on the G502. Anything bad about it could be said about all Logitech mice. But their latest have optical switches so the double click plague is probably over now. My current daily is a G502 Lightspeed and it's great, once you get used to hyperscroll I can't live without it. My receiver is plugged in directly and I get zero interference. The switches did start double clicking after 18 months but I replaced them with Kailh GM 2.0 Teals. I have esports Tiger ICE feet and BT.L grips. Sure, it's not the lightest mouse but it doesn't bother me at all. The only issue now is, and this applies to all mice, I am getting RSI from forearm pronation. So I'll be looking at modding the mouse to be more vertical with a 3D printer. Either replacing the bottom case or a wedge insert. Unless a decent vertical mouse comes with Hyperscroll. G Hub on the other hand is a flaming pile of rotten garbage and I'd LOVE to be rid of it ASAP! Same for pretty much all control software.
It seems that no one is addressing the switches. It's a very shit experience when your ~$100 mouse starts "auto clicking" by itself while also flipping a coin every time you use the scroll wheel to determine whether it will scroll up or down after not even 2 years of use.
I use the new auto-pilot AI mouse and mat. So, when you want to relax it auto moves and clicks in FPS games etc. Also, in Rocket league watching it move with a powered magnet surface to get into Champ 3 in 1s by doing perfect aerials was impressive. Eitherway, you can tone up or done the amount of assistance for any game. I am now trying the electrode edition. Which connects to the back of your skull to the pad. So, when you think and hold the mouse it does what you want to happen. Pretty amazing
I have a logitech g502 hero mouse, recently a few days ago I have cleaned it, including the bottom of the mouse and now 1 part of the mouse is rubbing against my table, so basically it is not smooth now. What do I do?
Turns out i didnt need a new mouse, i just needed to move the receiver because it was blocked by the case of my pc. You saved me at least 20$ so thank you!
I got my Logitech G Pro on a sale for 99 and it also came with their Mouse Pouch! I’ve tried multiple mice but every time I came back to the G Pro. I’d recommend it to anyone as it’s probably the last mouse you’ll ever buy.
Superlight2 is gpro but lighter and better in every way Literally no point buying any logitech mice other than superlight because all other logitech mice have double click issues (including superlight 1) which superlight 2 doesn't as it has optical switches
.. dunno when they made this version - but I just ordered a g502 X wired - that weighs 89g. The razer basilisk v3 pro weighs 112g, so it has become 23g better than what you recommend for work
Omg thank you for posting this I’m returning my g502 after two years this video made me realize how bad It is with all the evidence submitted I’m over it. :)
a g502 was my first mouse, the g502 lightspeed was my second mouse, and after it kicking ass for 5-7 years i might get the g502x now. since the rubber is starting to wear. no other mouse on the market has its layout in buttons and infinite scroll wheel. if there is, then please, link it. until then, g502 FTW.
Using the G502 Lightspeed with the charging Mousepad, great mouse for gaming and general use. MX Master 3 or 3S for productive work on my Mac, can do some casual RTS gaming, too. The low Bluetooth poling rate doesn't affect it that much in that case. Would never use a lightweight mouse again, those things are tiny and, when you have big hands, are very uncomfortable to use, especially over extended periods of use.
Just changed from Logitech G903 to a Death Adder V3 Hyperspeed. I can actually reach my mouse wheel with my fingers now and it doesn't feel Like I'm hauling a truck one handed. Going to take some getting used to. That cost 100 pounds. If the pain in my wrist stops, I'll call it an investment. I think this one is the slightly updated version of the Deathadder V3 pro but also is a bit smaller.
now i know i am leaving this after a month, but if you see this can you tell me if the model o is worth it? (i want a high end mouse with that shape and with a cord.)
@@je_mappelle_ProMichae1I had a model o for years, and now i am replacing it with a model o 2. I'd recommend u to get a model o 2, quality of those is incredibly epic from what i have heard, personal experience with the model o was also pretty good so far.
Anyone else going through the ''buy mice from Amazon, return them after using for an hour or two without even taking the plastic off or fully unboxing, and hope it's okay for a full refund and I don't get banned" situation? Tried like Pulsar xLite v3 mini and medium, mini felt slightly too small for a full palm/relaxed claw (and I only have baby 17.5cm/10cm hands), and the medium feels just a bit too big. Typical. Just sent the mini back today. Got the x2h delivered today, which is also small, but it has a bigger back hump, so I figured it may have the edge on xLite v3 mini with a bit more bulk...and that's forcing me into a more aggressive claw (which I just can't maintain) and if I try palm or relax claw, the larger rear hump is digging into my palm if I put my fingers down more. Nice. I picked up my old OG Zowie EC2A and it feels the most comfortable...despite me not being happy with its shape now which was the reason I'm starting to upgrade. Now I'm gonna just use the Zowie I guess to keep the others like new and stagger returning the xLite v3 medium and x2h. I wanna buy another but I just can't justify it, so I'll wait till next month I guess.
Running a G502se and really it's for the multitude of buttons any game might use. I wish I could streamline my mouse. Breakpoint has a use for just about every key on my board. And some games won't let you leave a function unbond even though you don't use it.
I had both G502 and G703 they updated the G502 with their new G502X version which I got for my sister but they still didn't update the G703 and I am asking WHY?
I've had the sharkoon shark force 1 for over 7 years now and its still such a good mouse, i really dont get why no one ever mentions it ever, even after the second version with a bunch of improvements came out 3 years ago!
My dad bought a razer naga trinity a few years back for his pc and my hand fit it perfectly. Now I have my own and I love the thing to death, wouldn't trade it for anything.
I don't know about that thumbnail, I've been using my G502 Hero since 7 years and only last couple of months it started a double clicking issue. I'm most likely going to buy a G502 again.
i have a few mouses that i use on my day to day, three of them being the logitech G pro X superlight2 (please give us a better name), the pulsar X2V2 mini with the 4Khz pulling rate adapter and also i have the logitech G309 and the razer viper V3 hyperspeed with the 8KHz pulling rate dongle, i love all of these mouses but i will be trying out some new ones because there are so many brands that just popped into the market in 2023-2024 and its just good to see it
i own a g502 and i recently discovered that the mouse weighs 120grams and most people who profesionally play cod has mice that weigh half that... i have big hands and long fingers but my mouse just feels bad when it comes to aiming and im about to upgrade to a razer viper pro v3 and im hoping this improves my aim.
This is currently my most recommended mouse, available on Amazon (this is an affiliate link): geni.us/qgVbc
My strategy is to buy all of them and get disappointed when none of them live up to my expectations.

Had a wired G502 for 7 years and just upgraded to the light speed version (My Corsair keyboard crapped out so replaced both). I didn't bother with the x or x Plus but I love it so much, plus I really need the extra buttons for gaming and I"ve not found a more comfortable mouse...
Shape really is the most important part of a mouse.
The old MX500 - MX515 - MX518 and MX518 Legend fit my hand so *_perfectly_* .. and now they don't make them anymore.
I am gnashing my teeth in such hopelessness and despair, that I might just buy a G502 !!
Yep, had a Teknet M009 mice which fit my hand like a glove.
Fell for the hype and bought a G502 and the shape is terrible, there's no pinky rest so it doesn't fit right in my palm grip of my wide hand.
Just ordered a Redragon M908, hopefully that is as comfy as it looks
I really like the G502 X Plus because the shape and easy acess to side button. One contra is his weight 😊
Unless you're playing FPS, it's optimally weighted. Although the shape is worse than the original.
@@VarjoPira Logitech G502 Hero High Performance Wired USB Gaming Mouse is this the original ?
Bought a G502 before watching this video
Great choice. enjoy
review ??
average g502 enjoyer here. 7 years and still running. replace the mice feet and keep rolling. I might need some grip tape soon because the buttons are getting shiny and slick. I may pick up a g502x... I really like and use the extra buttons in every game I play.
Same, but I'm unironically looking for a lighter version of the G502 hero. Plz lmk if any mouse has a similar amount of buttons.

I got G Pro Hero for over 5 years no issues, it has been discontinued
Trying out G Pro Wireless but I will be connected. Hopefully the tradition continues.

There are a few topics i would like you to add to the decision to getting a good mouse. Quality Software, compatable features linked with other peripherals like the keyboard, in other words the ecosystem. Alternative buttons like multiple mouse wheels, button layouts and scroll wheel buttons. Programmability and customization. Design asthetic. And replacement stategy.
Everybody talking about g703 superlight while I’m over here begging for a g903 reasonablylight with 4k polling and optical switches.
Bro, why is everyone hating on G502. I have the HERO model since 2019 and it's amazing. The build quality is good, it's sturdy, the buttons are working perfectly (all the 11), the software is also pretty great, and I also like the looks of it. It's also the most popular mouse as far as I know.
It’s big, heavy, and has a silly shape. It’s got a good price point but there’s so many other (better) mice with similar pricepoints.
If you enjoy using it more power to you. It’s a fine mouse. It’s just an easy punching bag because it’s an extremely popular mouse and there’s better products that aren’t nearly as gaudy.
@@sn0ipe333 You added "better" by mistake.
It comes down to Lightweight mice like the the G305 or the Razer Cobra/Viper Mini which are Objectivley better for gaming from a competitive standpoint being much cheaper. The G502 is pretty dated for gaming compared to modern standards, so while it's an amazing mouse, it's not a good gaming mouse.
lightweight mice are meta
One thing on the wireless mouse tip you mentioned the only issue you will have now is to remember to charge the battery, not true in my case and I can imagine others as well. I had a Ninjutso Sora 4k. Because these mice still use 2.4ghz, (should be switching to something different at this point.) You can have a potential issue if your using wifi bands on the same frequency. I have wifi 6e on one pc in my office and another hard wired. If al ot of data or traffic is passed through that band my wireless mice are practically worthless as they lag,skip and just flat out make for an unusable experience. Also tested this with a wireless Pulsar mouse, same issue. As soon as I plugged them into their cables, issue gone. I do have my router close by the mouse receiver as my current setup leaves me no choice but to put the eeros 6 pro on the computer desk with the 4k dongle close by. Perhaps proximity is the issue nonetheless its an issue with wireless.
3:23 Brought me straight back to Legolands's laser-raiders, man, good times
i had 2 different logitech g502 mice and they both broke within 2 months. i’m glad i’ve found someone who shares my hatred of them.
@bigcheefer You are a bloody bad man stay away from me g502 is the Nokia of mice
There is only one point in high sensitivity (and don't forget about the response speed, at least the G502 setting).
Take a brick, set it to 6000 Hz or 3600, and make minimal movements to move.
And I also don't recommend the G502 (optical switches won't help if dust continues to clog the sensor)
One big downside to wireless mice is if you live in a house with a microwave that puts out enough interference to cause connection issues at 15feet. Just because you are outside that range doesn't mean that your mouse wont lag while its running. I wish I could replace that thing but I don't own it and its "still working" so I cant convince them to get rid of it for something better.
You know what's funny about heavy mice? The more you use them the more you get used to them. Also if you are taller I recommend heavier mice. The reason being you are just bigger as a person. I find myself at 6'3" kind of throwing the 502 around. When I clench I even don't realize that I have lifted it off the desk. Weight in my opinion is based on how big of a person you are and how easily you can use it. There is no right or wrong answer. I also think the 502 is in the spot of if it isn't broken, don't fix it. It's shaped well with good ergonomics and I can literally game all day with it. Personally I recommend a heavier mouse with higher sensitivity.
I've been using G502 since it was first released, although I only use it for non-competitive games. So anywhere from casual games, rts, etc. I have a separate mouse for games pvp games like valorant, apex, etc.
I love the humour of this video. Thanks for the guide
0:06 I slightly panicked as a quake player
Those were quite a few hits, lol.
Speak for yourself!! G502 is the best mouse I have used worth every penny i pay for it!
Still rocking my G703 for around 5 years. Tried many other, but none gives me the comfort of it. So I continue to speak my Logitech Prayers to make a G703 superlight. Maybe I will see this happen before I die ^^
I'm using G502 LIGHTSPEED with wireless charging, because I got big hand, and I love heavyweight mouses. For me it's awesome mice I ever used, and it's feeling cool and useful at least for me
I have the model o and i want the viper, is it a worthy purchase
Just had this pop up after I got the g502 hero because it was on sale xD I mostly play emulator and slow paced games so having a slightly heavier mouse with a higher dpi really made a difference for me. Thanks for the vid though! I've been so busy thinking about the pc and it's components I never thought about my mouse/keyboard. Recently got a mechanical keyboard from a thrift shop and I can't go back now xD
I've owned the Logitech G402 since 2019 and absolutely love it, especially for its extra button. However, the double-click issue has become a nightmare. After three years, it started having double-click problems, and now it's so bad that I can't even close a single tab in Chrome or use a DMR in games. Despite the good five-year service time, I'm considering replacing it. I'm looking at the Logitech G502 X wired, but I'm not confident in this decision. I'd like to try a Razer mouse instead, but I'm unsure which one to pick.
Yes but the G502 you can find for around 50$
I really don't understand the targeted hate on the G502. Anything bad about it could be said about all Logitech mice. But their latest have optical switches so the double click plague is probably over now.
My current daily is a G502 Lightspeed and it's great, once you get used to hyperscroll I can't live without it. My receiver is plugged in directly and I get zero interference.
The switches did start double clicking after 18 months but I replaced them with Kailh GM 2.0 Teals. I have esports Tiger ICE feet and BT.L grips.
Sure, it's not the lightest mouse but it doesn't bother me at all.
The only issue now is, and this applies to all mice, I am getting RSI from forearm pronation. So I'll be looking at modding the mouse to be more vertical with a 3D printer. Either replacing the bottom case or a wedge insert. Unless a decent vertical mouse comes with Hyperscroll.
G Hub on the other hand is a flaming pile of rotten garbage and I'd LOVE to be rid of it ASAP! Same for pretty much all control software.
The hate for it is the weight, the shape, and the price.
You could get rid of G Hub with the Logitech Onboard Memory Manager if I‘m not mistaken. Most if not all settings can be changed in there as well.
Logitech G502 X Lightspeed Plus Wireless v/s Razer deathadder v3 pro
It's basically just "popular = bad" elitist nonsense. Let them sniff their own farts while you keep enjoying your G502.
@@TheACTIONZwhy the price? I got mine for €40 and that doesn't seem so bad?
It seems that no one is addressing the switches. It's a very shit experience when your ~$100 mouse starts "auto clicking" by itself while also flipping a coin every time you use the scroll wheel to determine whether it will scroll up or down after not even 2 years of use.
I use the new auto-pilot AI mouse and mat. So, when you want to relax it auto moves and clicks in FPS games etc. Also, in Rocket league watching it move with a powered magnet surface to get into Champ 3 in 1s by doing perfect aerials was impressive. Eitherway, you can tone up or done the amount of assistance for any game. I am now trying the electrode edition. Which connects to the back of your skull to the pad. So, when you think and hold the mouse it does what you want to happen. Pretty amazing
I have a logitech g502 hero mouse, recently a few days ago I have cleaned it, including the bottom of the mouse and now 1 part of the mouse is rubbing against my table, so basically it is not smooth now. What do I do?
I got a Razer DeathAdder V2 X awhile back and it disconnects for about 0.4 secs rarely ever sense I got it. Inference I take it? Anyway to fix?
Hot take, Making G703 Superlight version will not improve the mouse. Its weight is its strenght
Turns out i didnt need a new mouse, i just needed to move the receiver because it was blocked by the case of my pc. You saved me at least 20$ so thank you!
I got my Logitech G Pro on a sale for 99 and it also came with their Mouse Pouch!
I’ve tried multiple mice but every time I came back to the G Pro.
I’d recommend it to anyone as it’s probably the last mouse you’ll ever buy.
hey man you should’ve just gotten a superlight
@@JancarlosHernandez10 feature-wise, the G Pro is much superior. When I bought it I initially wanted to go with the superlight, until comparing the 2
Superlight2 is gpro but lighter and better in every way
Literally no point buying any logitech mice other than superlight because all other logitech mice have double click issues (including superlight 1) which superlight 2 doesn't as it has optical switches
.. dunno when they made this version - but I just ordered a g502 X wired - that weighs 89g. The razer basilisk v3 pro weighs 112g, so it has become 23g better than what you recommend for work
Omg thank you for posting this I’m returning my g502 after two years this video made me realize how bad It is with all the evidence submitted I’m over it. :)
I have used the deathadder elite for 7 years and now currently on the deathadder v3 pro.
I just bought a thorn
Arriving in a few days
Hope it feels better then my g502
sry to break it to you but G502 is better.
Me in the first 25 seconds who just bought a g502 hero
a g502 was my first mouse, the g502 lightspeed was my second mouse, and after it kicking ass for 5-7 years i might get the g502x now. since the rubber is starting to wear.
no other mouse on the market has its layout in buttons and infinite scroll wheel. if there is, then please, link it. until then, g502 FTW.
Using the G502 Lightspeed with the charging Mousepad, great mouse for gaming and general use.
MX Master 3 or 3S for productive work on my Mac, can do some casual RTS gaming, too. The low Bluetooth poling rate doesn't affect it that much in that case.
Would never use a lightweight mouse again, those things are tiny and, when you have big hands, are very uncomfortable to use, especially over extended periods of use.
Just changed from Logitech G903 to a Death Adder V3 Hyperspeed. I can actually reach my mouse wheel with my fingers now and it doesn't feel Like I'm hauling a truck one handed. Going to take some getting used to. That cost 100 pounds. If the pain in my wrist stops, I'll call it an investment. I think this one is the slightly updated version of the Deathadder V3 pro but also is a bit smaller.
Own 2 502s, an old hero and a new x lightspeed, hands down my favorite mouse.
I bought a new mouse without watching this video.
now i know i am leaving this after a month, but if you see this can you tell me if the model o is worth it? (i want a high end mouse with that shape and with a cord.)
It's risky as the quality of those can be poor. If it's cheap and easy to return if it's a faulty one then go for it
@@DiamondLobbyReviews ok so what mouse should i get i have a $12 puck mouse and it can be a bit laggy so i want to fix that
@@je_mappelle_ProMichae1I had a model o for years, and now i am replacing it with a model o 2. I'd recommend u to get a model o 2, quality of those is incredibly epic from what i have heard, personal experience with the model o was also pretty good so far.
most mice are honestly really good, but the 502g is just perfect
I'm still planning to get a G502 X to replace my old G700 from 2015 that's dying.
Anyone else going through the ''buy mice from Amazon, return them after using for an hour or two without even taking the plastic off or fully unboxing, and hope it's okay for a full refund and I don't get banned" situation?
Tried like Pulsar xLite v3 mini and medium, mini felt slightly too small for a full palm/relaxed claw (and I only have baby 17.5cm/10cm hands), and the medium feels just a bit too big. Typical. Just sent the mini back today. Got the x2h delivered today, which is also small, but it has a bigger back hump, so I figured it may have the edge on xLite v3 mini with a bit more bulk...and that's forcing me into a more aggressive claw (which I just can't maintain) and if I try palm or relax claw, the larger rear hump is digging into my palm if I put my fingers down more. Nice.
I picked up my old OG Zowie EC2A and it feels the most comfortable...despite me not being happy with its shape now which was the reason I'm starting to upgrade. Now I'm gonna just use the Zowie I guess to keep the others like new and stagger returning the xLite v3 medium and x2h. I wanna buy another but I just can't justify it, so I'll wait till next month I guess.
Running a G502se and really it's for the multitude of buttons any game might use. I wish I could streamline my mouse. Breakpoint has a use for just about every key on my board. And some games won't let you leave a function unbond even though you don't use it.
Hi the current price is 40€, do you honestly think the classic Hero with wired cable is worth that amount?
Watching this video after I've bought a new mouse
Times when wireless mouse were not precise above few centimeters seems like yesterday x')
I had both G502 and G703 they updated the G502 with their new G502X version which I got for my sister but they still didn't update the G703 and I am asking WHY?
I've had the sharkoon shark force 1 for over 7 years now and its still such a good mouse, i really dont get why no one ever mentions it ever, even after the second version with a bunch of improvements came out 3 years ago!
My dad bought a razer naga trinity a few years back for his pc and my hand fit it perfectly. Now I have my own and I love the thing to death, wouldn't trade it for anything.
35$ Wired Razor Death adder... Used it for 15 years. im on my second one.... Simply, effective, comfy and fast enough with less gadgets buttons.
WELL DONE... i was looking for mice for big hands... very informative THX from EU
which one did u get?
Get the Logitech G502 Hero. Best mouse all around.
after thorough analysis, I've decided my perfect mouse is a wired g502! thank you!
I don't know about that thumbnail, I've been using my G502 Hero since 7 years and only last couple of months it started a double clicking issue.
I'm most likely going to buy a G502 again.
4:15 the sudden cut to a bee to the joke got me good
3:23 why is Gordon Freeman hitting a metal object with crowbar?
i have a few mouses that i use on my day to day, three of them being the logitech G pro X superlight2 (please give us a better name), the pulsar X2V2 mini with the 4Khz pulling rate adapter and also i have the logitech G309 and the razer viper V3 hyperspeed with the 8KHz pulling rate dongle, i love all of these mouses but i will be trying out some new ones because there are so many brands that just popped into the market in 2023-2024 and its just good to see it
I think we now know who is keeping the well deserved 5 star rating from the g502.
Gotcha! Switching my hero g502 and going for a g502x plus. Hopefully it also comes with weights.
Just bought a buch of old G5, G5 Refresh, G500and fixed them. I am fine for the next decades :)
My first mouse was g502 and for me its pretty cool mouse with no problem i have been using for 5 years and i changed for a another g502
Wait what's wrong with the g502
Nothing, this dude is just an elitist who agrees with the Reddit circlejerk.
so my 121 gram G502 hero is not a good mouse? i beg to differ. Plus my amazing mother bought me this so i am NOT changing mice any time soon.
is a Logitech G G502 HERO good mouse?
Is Glorious series good? I want to get Glorious Model O2
The weight issue: Less weight is better for FPS games, more weight is better for MMORPG.
Where can I get the adapter for the wireless dongle?
what's wrong with G502 😥
Nothing. It's the best mouse ever made.
i own a g502 and i recently discovered that the mouse weighs 120grams and most people who profesionally play cod has mice that weigh half that... i have big hands and long fingers but my mouse just feels bad when it comes to aiming and im about to upgrade to a razer viper pro v3 and im hoping this improves my aim.
