Logitech G502 X Wired Gaming Mouse – LIGHTFORCE hybrid optical-mechanical main switches, HERO 25K gaming sensor, suitable with PC – macOS/Home windows – Black

Love this mouse! Huge upgrade from my G402
Before buying this mouse, I was a G402 user since 2015 and as most button switches including the primary ones reached EOL. I was definitely sure that my next upgrade’s gonna be the renowned G502 series.I was very excited when Logitech announced the new G502X but due to the pricing, I wanted to try the older G502 Hero first when it went on sale at $35 recently. The G502 Hero felt pretty similar to G402 in terms of ergonomics with small improvements in accessibility of side buttons. But I felt the mouse was heavy even without the weights and didn’t like the metal scroll wheel. Even the RGB fun faded off just after a few hours and honestly found it distracting. (After 3 days of using).So I wanted to try the wired G502X as well and decided to return one of them at the end. After trying out the G502X, I felt the improvements addressed every shortcoming G502 Hero and G402 did for me.The new shape offers much better support to the left part of palm (Just below index finger) with some increased height there. The DPI shift button, the side buttons, especially the ones next to left click felt even more accessible and practical to use them more than ever before. The new switches feel more clicky, tactile and satisfying but needs a bit more effort to click. Should see how long these switch will last in the long run.The lightened scroll wheel with rubber grip feels more mature, the feel of ratcheted mode is lighter yet snappy and satisfying. Can assign custom scroll functions. And the overall aesthetic feels really mature and evolved, ready for the future.I usually have a mixture of palm and finger grip and the mouse perfectly fits in with the improvement in right part of the palm (Just below index finger) support and quickly got used to the feel of mouse (Usually a few minutes of break-in time). The skates are much larger and a huge step-up. The mouse glides much smoother which complements well with the lighter weight of mouse (Lighter than both G402 and G502 hero).But also, the wired G502X is expensive, no RGB but most notably the cable is a bit worrisome. I still would prefer the wired version just for the years of life one can squeeze out without worrying about battery wear.Finally, I returned the G502 Hero and am gonna use the G502X for the coming years. Despite the price, I don’t regret it. It’s an agile mouse with a ton of functionality. If you are upgrading from an older mouse like me or a lower-end/basic one, go directly for this. But if you’re already happy with the older G502/similar, need for this mouse is much weaker and it’s up to you.Thank you for reading so far. Happy holidays!

It’s sensitive!
Key features and my initial impressions:Powerful Sensor: The Hero 25K sensor provides exceptional tracking accuracy and precision, even at high DPI settings.Customizable Buttons: The G502 X offers a variety of programmable buttons, allowing you to tailor the mouse to your specific gaming preferences.Comfortable Design: The contoured shape and textured grips provide a comfortable and secure grip, even during extended gaming sessions.However, I’ve encountered one minor issue: the DPI setting switch is a bit too sensitive. I’ve received numerous notifications about the DPI setting changing accidentally while using the mouse. This can be distracting and interfere with gameplay.I’ll be updating this review in a few months to provide feedback on the mouse’s durability. Given my history of burning through mice, I’m curious to see how the G502 X holds up over time.Overall, the Logitech G502 X is a capable gaming mouse with a few minor quirks. If you can overlook the sensitivity of the DPI switch, it’s a solid choice for gamers seeking a high-performance mouse with customizable features.

I feel like I’ve been training in high gravity for years with my g502 hero. The weight difference between this newer model and the hero is night and day. I’ve seen some people complaining about the plastic scroll wheel but I was having issues with the older model scrolling randomly when I flicked the mouse too aggressively while gaming. Non-issue with the new model so far. I’m also a big fan of being able to remove the DPI shift button as I’ve never really utilized it. The rubber cord is very light and I think an upgrade from the braided version. Can’t even tell it’s there.TLDR;Long time g502 enjoyer and happy with the purchase.

It is lightweight and comfortable. It’s best for palm grip but only okay for claw grip. It looks amazing and the scroll wheel is the best I’ve ever used. There’s a button to toggle the scroll wheel between free scrolling and notchy. The free scrolling feature is great for scrolling quickly through websites and documents. The notchy scroll wheel setting is amazing for gaming. You’ll never accidentally scroll too far and select the wrong weapon or something.

This mouse is fantastic for a plethora of various uses. It fits in your hand just right and there is a weight to it that just adds to the comfort in using it. The chord itself is long enough to accommodate any desk set up, and the sensitivity can easily be controlled to suit your needs. This mouse is smooth and effortless to use. The programmable buttons on it are easy to assign and use. Overall, beautiful mouse!
