The Logitech G502 is maybe the best, most popular gaming mouse ever, but that doesn’t mean there’s no room for improvement. The G502 Lightspeed is the new wireless version with the HERO sensor, but can it compete with the DeathAdder, Finalmouse, or even Logi’s own G Pro Wireless?

Linus Tech Tips cable mod for a video promoting wireless, good one Linus
For $150 why did they not use USB-C?!
😂🤣🤣🤣the end when you said well your wired to get the wireless was exactly what I was thinking
You did not take in account in the difference in the actual wire weight and drag between G502 Hero and Lightspeed (wireless version is much better).
i dont even ting in my country
Linus: *Give me ONE reason to NOT upgrade*
Me: I don't have any money.
Logitech is overpriced AF, my last logitech mouse were mx 518 that cost 1100czk, G502 cost about 1800-1900czk, but for what? Bought Bloody T5 for 400czk+- and im happy, best price/quality ratio imo.
rat1 is best mouse for us
I give you one reason: Wireless = Electrosmog = Cancer
@@danielstormy3660 Fuck off.
If you're not in the market for an expensive mouse with a ton of buttons, best sensor available and great software for control, don't look at expensive mice.
Logitech has cheap mice too.
And replacing batteries is annoying.
Gamers - "it's too heavy"
Me - "adds all extra weights"
got the g602, love its weight. its heavy af, all my fiends ask why do i use it. I just like it...
Really only matters for shooters.
Brad Huddleson csgo is a shooter. I play csgo. I have a lot of weight.Never the less i am very good. So lightweight mice aren't for shooters, it's just personal preference
Same.
I prefer weighty mice, they feel nicer to use in gaming and regular use IMO

“The price”
What wallet? Mine is lost!
A video about cutting cords.
A sponsor about fancy cables.
Seems legit.
Lmao
Seems like brilliant marketing, the top comments right now are pointing out that fact. An advert with that kind of engagement is priceless.
They did mention that the advertising/financial team is separate from creative/writers. I think it was on GN's video.
Damn you got it first
"Fancy cables" is an under statement. I added up a cable package for my psu and some other things like screws and other stuff from them and it was 160 dollars.
The ONE reason NOT to upgrade is PRICE.
Or simply being left-handed.
@@alexanderhill2569 In which case you probably wouldn't even have the 502 that would be upgraded from in the first place

@@Grempington fucking oath mate one of the boys is a lefty and he uses right handed mice.
same here, am a lefty and I use an mx master 2s... just adapt to a world of right handeds...
I was not aware that mice have weight issues. I personally like mice with a bit more weight to them. Especially when I was an FPS player...
The super lightweight has been such a gimmick.. but it does push companies like this mouse managed to get a tad bit lighter so it won’t be like a brick and you won’t think about weight.. there’s a reason why pros don’t really use those super light mice too
I use all of the weights in mine... that might be where some of my problems stem from
Edit: nope. I'm just bad at games lol
@@colbylynes You say that, but like 80% of valorant pros have switched to the G pro superlight.
@@cc-000 im a arm aimer with a lower sensitivity myself but love the heavier mice as well. I feel like its just easier to be precise with a heavier mouse. It also feels a lot better when I pick up the mouse. I feel like a lighter mouse will feel like a cheap plastic mouse.
@@larryxiang822 because they are sponsored. Look around at other fps games where people are not sponsored, such as tf2. Benny in tf2 still uses the g400 to my knowledge
"Give me ONE reason.."
"$150"
Found it.
@@00O3O1B It's what I tell people who ask me about computer builds. Depends if you want to "Build it and forget it" or spend a hundred here or there over 5 years.. lol
Invest in decent hardware and you will definitely spend less down the road. For instance, I binged and bought a Seasonic Ultra Prime Titanium 1000W power supply and it has a 12 year warranty. If that thing fails anytime between now and 2030 I get a free replacement, who knows how long that one would last. Even if I have to pay for shipping, I still get one helluva deal for $250.
i literally using a 15 years old office keyboard i bought with 10 bucks "i think" for about 10 years and it's working very fine.
Plasmaboo you can get a model o for 50$ which is one of the best mouses on the market way better then this junk
Cheaping out and buying an equal quality mouse that's at a better price point are two different things. You can definitely find equal or better mice at lower price points, especially if you're willing to go wired (I don't honestly know why you wouldn't - I've never felt the need to use my mouse 30 feet away from a USB port lmao)

“Give me ONE reason”
1. The price
Dont think money ever stopped me from buying something stupid.
Matthew Martin same 😂
not a good enough reason.
It is a good reason to not upgrade if you already have the original g502 or something equal. But if you dont already have a good mouse then I'd say this one is a damn good investment.
which is why ebay is your friend lol just got a g900 for 30 bucks has everything with it and its mint
"internal endoskeleton" so... a skeleton?
In fairness, they are specifically contrasting the endoskeleton with the pre-existing exoskeleton.
Skeletal inception
An endoskeleton is specifically an internal skeleton, so what they said was basically "an internal internal skeleton".

Anyone notice on the screen behind Linus going mad as he demonstrates the mouse hahaha.

It's because the wireless mouse is connected to the computer and his finger is on the part where the sensor is.

"Cable Mod" sponsor of a WIRELESS mouse. Lol
Thats a segway "ba dum tss"
They focus more on the internals of the computer in the end of the day.
I guess that's the most noticeable mod, cutting the cable off.
3-4 years ago, I could see reviewers hating lightweight mice and now its all the rage. How times change.
Before light weight mouses were made of cheap plastic with bad quality internals, hence lighter weight. Nowadays light mouses still retains good quality.
It was a big deal that my G602 could run off 1 battery at half the charge just so it was lighter
Yeah that never happened.
That's the beauty of culture changing over time.
more like there was a misconception that lightweight = low quality.
Building my first pc right now and I was torn between these two. Pretty sure I’m going to go with the wired version and put that extra money towards more SSD space or maybe a better power supply.
one reason: having the wired g502
That didn't stop me. The moment i heard a wireless G502 was thing, is also moment i went out, and bought one. Worth the upgrade.
@@Suiax But why?
@@franciscodeaguirre1754 Because fuck the wire.
fuck the wire, but fuck the price of the upgrade lol tf
@motmus mom But I already have a 144hz monitor, 3 SSDs, and my desk is good enough. And the mouse is not inferior. Nice to not have to worry about the wire getting in the way.
Advertises cable management on a video all about going wireless... seems legit to me
Pepe This channel is one giant advertisement.
buy this mouse for wireless connection. For everything else CableMod. :)
loloololollololololol
LTT should really do a tech version of "worth it". E.g. $15 mouse vs $60 mouse vs $150 mouse.
As someone who games a ton, its 100% worth it. Esp, if you're buying the mousepad. Endless charge on a wireless mouse is perfect for my set-up at least.
Yes please
Well that's just insanely subjective. I have a gaming chair, a 144Hz g-sync monitor and a somewhat expensive gaming mouse (steelseries rival 600). I'd argue I'm not playing any better than when I had an IKEA chair, literally the cheapest 24" monitor I could get at that time and a 15 bucks "gaming mouse".
Yet I don't regret any of those purchases because subjectively it just feels better. I sit comfortably, the smooth motion in games is a treat I am not able to ever give away again and my rgb puking mouse just looks nice on the desk. So was it "worth it"?
It's like buying an expensive car: You really don't ever need a Porsche or Mustang or Model S but driving one still feels pretty damn nice.
@@christophmayer3991 That's the point. Each thing has its own percs and the more you spend the more comfort but at the end of the day, if youre running at 60fps and 720p at least, it won't make you play any better. A headset? Yes. A mouse? Only if your current one is unusable. But then again I buy expensive stuff and replace it once every x years so it lasts. Also, warrenty is good with logitech. End of the day, unless you need wireless or just want it, its all personal preference
@@christophmayer3991 Hey, man. When you suck, you suck. Whatcha gonna do?
haha j/k
did logitech really have to specify that the mouses endoskeleton was internal?

"Competitors like Final Mouse"
Final Mouse doesn't sell anything, you can't call them a competitor.
They do. They are just out of stock due to demands.
@@HenryTheBoilermaker3rdYear they've been out of stock for over 6 months and they've I think said they aren't replenishing. They then make their future drops private and their Twitter. Because they couldn't meet demand and deadlines they decided to become 'exclusive' instead.
I'm on their mail list for new stock and they sent me a false notification that they got stock because I clicked it within a minute and there was none and it's been 5 months since then an still nothing. They're not RMAing broken mice.
You can't compete if you don't sell anything.
Tenfootgiant they made a really small number of them and then used the Ninja hype to get instant namefame
@@PistolShrimpPimp Have you never heard of Supreme. Also MassDrop. There's an entire industry based on this sales model. It's legitimate, even if it's dumb.
@@vectoredwolf But that's not what final mouse is doing. They literally couldn't meet demands, crumbled under the pressure, and blamed it on the consumer.
The Glorious Model O just came out thats a good reason.
I thought the same thing as soon as I saw his clickbait title lol.
That mouse is so light :O.
I sometimes wonder if im the only one who loves heavy mouses with my g502 spectrum and master 2s.
Yeah I'm actually ditching my g502 for the model O. I guess I'm in the minority but I really didn't like the g502.
@David Whitfield Honestly it's not even competing for the same demographic. Someone serious about FPS gaming will never look at a mouse over 90g, and they're already opiniated enough to choose the likes of Final Mouse, Odin O, or the GWP/g305 for wireless. It's even called a brick in the enthusiast community. The g503 is really more of a casual gaming mouse that's also great for productivity. I would never use it for FPS games, but I wouldn't mind using it for work.
Lol glorious is 100x better g502 is maybe top 20
One good reason: My 2014 version works just fine still.
Another good reason: "Does it run Crisis?" - No, but it will create one financially if I buy one right now.

As a person who has tremors,(which gets worse as I age) heavy mice all the way.
People follow the hype
For smoothing your mouse inputs (whether for preference or due to tremors) I can heartily recommend SteadyMouse.
The developer is a pretty cool guy.
My g502 also has all of the weights in it. That's one of the reasons I love the thing so much. I'm very heavy-handed with my mouse, which is the same reason I have cherry mx Brown switches in my keyboard. Stands up to my brutish actions lol

I like the g502 because of the scroll wheel and the thumb button. both i use extremely regularly, because I've remapped the middle mouse button to the thumb, it just feels so natural.

No. A $5 dollar garbage bin mouse and a $150 high-end mouse deliver completely different experiences. How much you need is up to you.

Hub is the worst software I've entcountered. Great hardware, awful software.
The software is so easy to use to wdym I have a Logitech keyboard and a Logitech mouse and never had a problem
The only one thing to NOT buy it is the lightspeed increase of price.
I have a Logitech Proteus spectrum and I can say that even without the weights in it is too heavy to get an actual upperhand in competitive gaming. I would recommend getting the Glorious model O. Better than final mouse and only $49.99. You could compare it to final mouse but final mouse is only better by being 7g lighter, other than that the model O does everything else better such as Max Dpi, comforbility, variation of colors and rgb, and htz. Plus final mouse products are $240+ because ninja signed his name on it and they are milking it by being a low stock company.

150 is a little steep. especially since the g502 special edition is only 30 bucks on amazon. Literally the same mouse but the wire makes it 1/5 the price. I will stick with this until the g502 lightspeed is under 100.

@@IVismarried1974 Maybe. I dont really know what the price has to be for me to pull the trigger. I just know that 150 is way too much.
Is it 100% the same in all other aspects?
The Logitech G502 in any form, is hands down, the best high performance mouse Ive ever used. Its got all the benefits of a high performance gaming mouse, but the durability of a workhorse. I use different grips depending on whether im gaming, surfing or working, and its good for all positions. Its got enough buttons to helpful, but not so many that you end up doing random stuff by accident. The best recommendation I can give is that I just bought my second one, and the old one is still working just fine after 6 years.
I love it but the switch on the left click always wears out fast.

@@jackik1410 To be honest, I just fancy a change. Also want to try a lighter mouse out.
@@itIsI988 I though about that aswell, but i'm too lazy to move around, which is why i use higher dpi, which is only controlable for me with heavy mouses ^^
I have the OG G502Proteus Core. It is still awesome.
Glorious_LDR92 Same.

You need Cables, why not keep it?
the most durable mouse I ever had, like it's already five years old with only some minor issues which are still acceptable seeing it's age
I have 2 brand new in the box back up RGB versions for when my main one dies
Same here since the launch, the only thing to report is the braiding on the cable starting to deteriorate, but they fixed it with the hero and this one I guess
I made it... Took me 1 year.. But i just get it today, and re-watching the review lol.. This mouse is definitely premium at least feels premium..
So how was the mouse still functioning well?

There's another reason to be wary of the G502: *the Omron switches fail prematurely.* The "mechanical life" specification for the switches is totally bogus because it is based on no-load testing which does not mimic real life. The Omron switches for the primary buttons in my G903 began to fail after 7 months. A single click would fire a double-click instead. And the primary switch would suddenly release in the middle of a drag. Logitech replaced my mouse with another new G903 and the same thing began to happen after only 6 months. I'm very careful with the mouse, I have a gentle touch and am never heavy-handed with the mouse. Doing research on the internet revealed that other G903 _and_ PRO users are having the same trouble. My concern with the G502 is that it will also have the problem.
Logitech offered to replace my G903 again, but my patience was gone. I discovered that Logitech uses the Chinese version of the Omron switches. I purchased the Japanese version from Digi-Key and replaced the switches, myself. This was a fairly detailed procedure. The disassembly of the mouse requires many steps. The two most difficult tasks were prying out the soft Li-Po battery without damaging it and removing the old switches. You must be extremely careful not to overheat or damage the tiny circuit boards when you de-solder the old switches -- and you must have a very good solder sucker. When installing the new switches, you must be extremely careful not to overheat them when you solder them -- the soldering iron cannot be too hot, you must be quick (less than 10 seconds) and each switch must be allowed to cool after each pin is soldered (before soldering the next pin).
Since replacing the switches with Japanese-made Omrons, the mouse has worked extremely well. The Japanese switches are made to a higher standard (better internal design, tighter tolerances, less dust can get into the switches, and the operating force is more consistent). But replacing the switches isn't a job for a novice -- you need serious mechanical and soldering skills. I also have a PowerPlay wireless charging mouse pad. If it weren't for the switch problem, this would be the nicest mouse I've ever used (I used a Sensei MLB for several years before switching to the G903).
Couldn't have summarized the issue better myself.
Logitech should be ashamed for trying to save a few cents on a cheaper switch on what is supposed to be a premium mouse!
My almost 3 year old G600 is now exhibiting this behavior. I admit this new mouse is very tempting, even more so with a mouse that's starting to fail. That being said, how would I go about looking for a different mouse with proper, well made switches?
still have the first G502 from 2014 and ist going strong
One good reason NOT to get this at all is the fact that the mouse's mechanical build has a double-click issue on it.

1 Reason: Im Broke...
Loved my logitech G5 that worked perfectly for "over a decade" and I also love its replacement the G502 I bought it in early 2016. I only replaced the G5 because I wanted something newer. As for the G502 since purchase, there have been zero operational issues with thousands of hours well into the double digits for use. The G502 still works perfectly like the day I bought it. People say this is a heavy mouse and I honestly see no difference coming from the older version. In fact I will say the weight provides more traction to assist with stopping unlike a light mouse that will over extend slightly. (I use a black razor diamond coated hard mouse pad to aid in several tracking areas) I love everything about the G502 and the wireless version is neat. But it is not double the price neat and will only reduce performance if the bluetooth plug is far away. Which in these tests the bluetooth connection is always very close to the mouse. So either your tower is directly next to your mouse within inches or it's on a wire anyway. I will also say a wired mouse has no noticeable drag long as you give the cord some slack near the mouse.
My only complaint over the design is the cloth braiding around the cord. Logitech just can't make a quality braid for their cables as several of their products have the same issues. Eventually there will be a hole and the wire will push out. You can tape the hope or just cut the braid otherwise the wire will kink there and eventually expose wire ruining it. This is a problem for any braided cords. Plus it collects a ton of dust.
Hope you enjoyed my 2 cents on this quality product and I would definitely buy another wired G502 if this one ever breaks.
I'm from same place, same upgrade and same issue. You are right bro. Cheers

How Is this the top comment for me lol
I swear I feel like I'm the only gamer out there who likes a heavy mouse. I've never wanted to take any of the weights out of my G502, G9x or G5.
Ever since I built my rig and had enough money for peripherals. I immidietly begun looking for heavy mice bcs I thought they're like very cool, very nice to use and just feel much more heavy duty and the overall feel is better. Playing nearly any game where you are the one moving aroudn the camera or tank turret.. Warthunder/Fallout even OSU! has been a much more fun experience than with a mouse that jumps around and I can barelly tell I'm holding something.
I can't without the weights on g502
same, a light mouse feels cheap to me
I had weights strategically placed in my G5 towards the front, and I initially placed every given weight in my G502 Spectrum as well. For some reason, no matter how deep I pressed in the weights, the cover wouldn't close properly and would scrape along my mouse pad, so I ditched the weights altogether (after months of just ditching the cover instead). I have a Lightspeed on its way and I look forward to seeing what a slight weight decrease is going to be like (aided by a lack of drag from the cord as well) as I think I'm starting to really shift towards a lighter feel. My weightless G502 already feels really heavy to me now (although a weightless G5 feels like paper by comparison, as if it's going to fly through my finger tips just from pulling a 180 in-game. I can't go that light).

I can't be the only one who likes a heavy mouse.
No
Yes

you see the curser moving on the moniter when he is talking : )
I prefer my G602. It's heavy, has a lot of buttons and the battery lasts around a year for me. And It's cheap.
I just bought the Logitech G502 wired mouse from amazon for $32.99 with free shipping during their limited time sale. I love it. It's a really a great mouse for under $35.
i love the mouse to and the scroll wheel is fun to play with
Been using the G602 for years and I love it.
The only way I'd replace this one is to buy another.
Same, it was a little heavy at first, but it feels perfect with only one battery in. Charge still lasts forever.
Ive been using G602 years now, and while i love it im gonna buy this new wireless G502. Its better in almost every way and wireless always has that premium price.
Mee too... And I will not settle for anything with a lower battery life. Though I wish they would upgrade it with the sensor from the G603
I've also used G602 for years now and I love it so much. But I do want a lighter and better latency mouse.... Only issue is that the wireless G502 doesn't have as many programmable buttons.
Edit: it does have the same amount of buttons if you count the mouse wheel as 3 (mouse wheel left, right and down are all programmable). I will therefore think a bit more on this
the switches. If they are anything like the g900 or g903 they will start double clicking in about 2 years time
me after 2 years using this mouse. This is exactly what happened, after 2 years this mouse started double clicking and stop holding RMB ADS. just avoid thise mouse.
@@NicerChile that happened to me also (the not holding RMB thing)
My wired G502 is the best mouse I've ever owned. PERIOD.
Bought the original 502 around its launch, still no need to upgrade.
Yep, still using my Proteus Core. Fucking love that thing.
So heavy tho
1:10 I love how the cursor zips across the screen as he picks up the mouse
I just bought a G502 SE and was disappointed, that it now has a rubber cord, and not the braided cord. I looked on Amazon, and apparently even the new regular G502 now has a rubber cord. I think it stinks, that Logitech makes changes like this the their products, and does not change the name to indicate it is no longer the same version. I have an older G502 (non-Hero), but at least it has a braided cord. My favorite mouse is my Logitech G303, which is crazily expensive on the used market now. So, it's pretty much irreplaceable.
After recently within the past 6 months switching to a g602 I actually find the 502 too light. And I always had every weight in my 502.
Me too
its more for fps gamers honestly.
I thought G903 would be the last mouse to buy for me. I was wrong :( Double clicking piss of s###
You have to clean the contacts
it works for me it was just a bit of a pain in the but to assemble it again...
@@josef2748 I will try that. It was really the best G.M I had up to date. Missing it, lol
I love my G502 and I like heavy mice. I have all of the weights in mine because it make it feel more "steady" if you know what I mean. I also have big, heavy hands so that's probably another reason. If the wireless version wasn't close to $90 over what I paid for this one (sale many years ago) I'd absolutely switch though.
How big are your hands? Because I'm looking for a mouse but don't wanna buy one and then have it be to small for my hands (20cm by 10cm).
