"Dont buy this" proceeds to point out tons of things i like in a mouse. You just made me more sure about the purchase, which i really appreciate! Really like your straight forward (and very honest, thankfully) style of review!

Never understand why people seem to care about the weight of a mouse, it doesn't really matter how heavy it is you get used to it over time. I've always liked heavier mouses more but I guess that's just me

Had mine for a day now, couple notables: - The DPI shift buttons are the main feature of the G502, second only to the grip style. Not for the ability to swap dpi on the fly, but for the button placement. Swap those buttons to keys that you can use in game. Ya'll not doing this are missing out, heavily. The G502 is the "best selling mouse ever made" and not the basilisk. What's the only difference? The DPI buttons. USE THEM. The larger size on the g7 also allows you to hit it with your thumb comfortably. This is great as I use it for push to mute and grenade/gadget depending on the game, and freeing up the pointer finger is useful. - The Scroll UP/DOWN is now customizable in GHUB. This is actually fairly huge. Bunny hopping and infinite scroll wheel shooting? I'm sure there are other uses. I've only made use of it in Warframe so far, but I'll be keeping an eye out for other uses. - The weight. I'm throwing this out there for the people not pretending to be "pro gamers" and actually value comfort over a .01 percent higher k/dr. The g502x is markedly lighter. To the point that is slightly uncomfortable. I have both the OG lightspeed and the X in front of me, and I'll definitely be taking up the advice of swapping the bottom weight plate. If you are in it for a lighter mouse, but want the comfort of the g502 layout, this is probably a huge plus for you. Not for me. If I didn't have the extra weight plate, I would be *weighing* (lol) the pros and cons as far as keeping the OG lightspeed around. - The RGB strip is awkward and noticeable in the palm. I don't like it. It's not a make it or break it for me, but it is unusual. - The thumb rest area feels shorter. I'm unsure if this is a pro or a con. - The lack of a gap at the front of the mouse between the left and right mb is annoying. I liked the gap. It's been a day and I've tried to click that area multiple times now when regrabbing the mouse because it sits in the same location as muscle memory puts my middle finger from the OG lightspeed. Not a huge thing, but it is weird. - It is talked about in the video, but the mouse wheel is a huge improvement. Like HUGE improvement. I have hated the g502 mouse wheel since I first picked up the OG in 2014, despite it becoming my favorite mouse for nearly a decade. This is significant, imo. The X fixed all the issues I've had with the 502, but added some others. So far I'm happy with my purchase.

I've had my G502 for 6 years and have no idea what you are talking about "sticky" rubber sides. They are worn, but perfectly contoured to my hand like a leather glove - not sticky for me at all. The heavy weight is the real problem, which the new G502x fixes (89g).

As a 502 hero user, you've given me everyreason why I should buy the new one. Thanks 👍

I bought mine (x plus) about 2 weeks ago, and upgraded from the 502 corded version. I like this one FAR better, and I thought the 502 was great. I like the rgb, it’s comfy, light, and highly responsive.

After using the og 502 I couldn’t imagine using any other mouse, I love the two side buttons next to the left click, hopefully getting this x upgrade for Christmas 🙏🏼

I bought the plus just to spite you and myself at the same time.

the fact that they made a swappable flat button for the side button is great, really one of the only complaints that i had with the previous version.

I just want the G203 to get this treatment and new switches.

The G502 X Plus is simply a more expensive option to push the price of the G502X up while making it seem cheaper at the same time. I forgot the marketing term for this practice, but many companies sadly do this

I have been using the foremost DPI switch on my g402 (g502x otw) for years. For basically any game that has a melee/fast melee, e.g. melee in Halo, switch to knife in CS etc. It has all been bound to that button, nothing has felt more natural for me. That and using the side "sniper" button to switch weapons.

My only complaint about the RGB on the X Plus is that the Logitech "G" logo isn't RGB as well, it should be

Funny thing is, I bought the G502 X the moment it was available and.. while the weight difference and new feet are excellent features... That "RGB strip line" is so annoying for my hand. It gnaws into the palm, making palm grip uncomfortable.

Got the G502X Lightspeed version in black (my first ever G502) and i'm freakin loving it. The only thing that stopped me buying a G502 before was the non-removable sniper&thumb button on the side. Absolutely hated it. Now that they've pulled a razer on that thing (on Basilisk Ultimate it is removable), got it ASAP. Using a Razer Basilisk Ultimate on the side and i must say that mouse has a very unstable scrolling experience. You cannot switch weapons in games only relying on the scroll wheel steps because it is not registering scrolls until you push the wheel a little bit further in order to complete its registering... When i opened it up i saw that it's using a cheap potentiometer system rather than an Optical encoder like Logi products. And that potentiometer is wiggling back and forth as you scroll the wheel causing those scroll skips. I've managed to tuck a toothpick (yes a freakin toothpick) in the enclosure in order to prevent it to wiggle, and it improved the scroll skips to a managable degree. If anyone is interested in it i can send photos of it. Anyway, stay away from Basilisk ultimate and V2. Stick to G502X.

Too late. Bought that already. And I thought I would just be able to turn the rgb off. In part, that’s true, you can just disable lightsync. But the rgb is not completely gone. Whenever I’m away from it, the rgb turns on again, just so it ruins the battery time… There’s one more thing I don’t get either… I own an MX Anywhere 2S, which also has the “infinite scroll” (hyper fast scrolling) feature, but it works on a different software. In that one I can enable a smooth scrolling option, and that’s absent on G Hub. WHY? WHY? WHY? I mean, this is a high end mouse! Why would you have “infinite scroll” on it if you don’t pack its full potential? Other than those two problems, though, it’s a great mouse.

the only difference to write home about the g502 x is the new optical switches which should _FINALLY_ be resilient to the double-clicking issues that have plagued their mice for years now. i've had an optical switch keyboard for about 3 years now and it finally solved chattering compared to normal mx cherry.

I prefer textured plastic for side grips. Rubber after wore out feels sticky and dirty. Holes and gaps also gets dirty over time and very time consuming when cleaning. I prefer this design but I hope it gets more minimalistic with less unnecessary gaps and holes around the body.

I have had my cabled G502 Proteus Core for almost 10 years now and I bought the G502X (with cable) but damn I really didn't get used to it. It's really lighter, what kinda gave me the impression that I was holding a cheap ass mouse, and the position of the DPI led indicator just seems like a design flaw to me because in the previous you could just look at the mouse and the light was right there between your thumb and index finger, but now you have to lift the mouse and rotate it to you just to be able to see that light since it's on the scroll wheel now. At least I'm glad they still make the older model, ended up returning my G502X and buying a G502 Lightspeed

Holy shit the sheer distance he has to move his mouse to get any sort of movement on his crosshair is painful to watch.

Man, no weights was a deal breaker for me since i use them on my g502.

If you’re coming from the G502 Lightspeed Edition you can change the bottom cover that holds the USB dongle on the G502X(+) (which is pure crap plastic compared to the rest of the mouse) with the one from the G502 Lightspeed that has the two weight slots in it (and is much better quality plastic) and you get a pretty good feeling mouse that isn’t so heavy that movement feels sluggish, but not so light to the point you feel like you could chuck the mouse off your desk.

Great review. Is there anything one can do to protect the rubber coating before ever starting to use the mouse? On my old lighspeed it's worn down all the way to the plastic. I'd be happy if there was something skin-safe that could turn the rubber into a hard, resilient surface.

I use the rgb on my 502 ONLY to have a visual representation of my current profile, so if my profile wasn't changed while starting a game I'd instantly know and will be able to turn it on manually. Other than that I also don't care for rgb. So if I want to have that feature I'd have to go for the rgb version, because the other ones have 0 lights to indicate that.

As someone who still uses controller to play games and is becoming an animator/3d artist, I'm totally satisfied 😌

Coming off a wired G502 Hero that’s a several year old tank, I purchased a wireless G502 X without the RGB. Love the hero, so I’m sure I’ll love this too. All of these mouse videos I’ve watched featuring lightweight mice, with two side buttons seem to be geared for the competitive shooter market. I tried that route, but I vastly prefer being able to load plenty of in game actions to my mouse.

i am on heavy mouse + high dpi team, i don't like getting carpet burn from franticly flailing feather light mouses on nylon mousepad. its genuinely concerns me the way Logitech going forward. Also their Keyboards more focused on aesthetic over utility which is big no for me, must have num lock, big enter/tab/caps key more is better.

If the cord on the wired version is light enough like the ones used on ultra light mice, then I feel that would be the best edition. 89 grams is definitely noticeably lighter than 100 grams and the price difference is huge too.

dude, clean youre mouse and hands

I use the rgb on the regular g502 to let me know if my per game profile did actually fire off. When my profile is in desktop mode I have the lights on the mouse set to red and when its running a custom profile for a game its green. Ghub is so trash and unreliable this became necessary to tell what profile the mouse is running. So rgb for looks is unnecessary but at least with my standard g502 and other peripherals like my keyboard rgb does a great job of communicating what color coded profile is running. So rgb can be practical. When it comes to my peripherals I couldn't live without it.

This Vs the new basilisk pro is a verrrrry close one. I adore having a DPI light, and a DPI scroll

the g502 was an amazing mouse. you could remap those keys to other buttons like numpad controls on caming profiles and change profiles for like editing or stuff. those dpi buttons are useless so i remapped them everywhere and now i use then all the time. feeling like the 502 x is just a refined version. also can't live with a mouse again now with less buttons hahaha

I've gone through 3 inside a year now, the mouse just randomly decides to stop working on both the right and left buttons.

i tried getting into light weight mice but i can’t do it. i don’t play shooters like that anymore too so i said to myself it’s to wrap it up and go back to what im comfortable with. i also really don’t like is any honey comb pattern mice too. i don’t like having holes on my mice. it gives me a heart attack when i have any kind of liquid near them. oh well. i’ll be sticking to this mouse for awhile.

I’ve been using Corsair mice all my pc life, i recently jumped to the Logitech g502 x plus and it’s a night and day difference, I don’t know about other Logitech mice but this mouse mops the floor with all the Corsair mice I’ve had and used. My personal favorite out of all the Corsair mice was the dark core pro rgb cause of the heft and reliability. But this mouse, just wow, guess I’m using Logitech mice from now on, idk about keyboards yet tho lol

RgB is more reasonable on wired version but it lacks one 😵‍💫

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.

Question for my fellow g502 enjoyers. What to upgrade to from g502? I mainly enjoy it for palm grip. I have small hands 16,5cm/9.5cm. I will keep g502x for work but want to try something lighter for gaming. Doesn't matter whether it is wired or wireless. Not interested in g502 clones since I have original. I need my pinkie supported by the mouse (g502 does this well).

Not a single reviewer mentions that it's wider. I have big hands and I didn't know about this mouse until I tried it the other day, it's not bad! Matter fact, I like it more than the Corsair Ironclaw which was the best for big hands a year ago, but the scroll wheel breaks easily on it.

I have large but above all thick hands due to work, this mouse is well made, I'm still using it, small and non-ergonomic (i.e. straight) mice led to absurd cramps on the back of my hand and my muscles and nerves were always tense during sessions gameplay longer than 2 hours. This mouse has many features. I mainly use it with the default desktop and play everything from CS to Rust to history games. If you want, you can tinker around and do more imaginative things but I don't currently need it. before this I had a logitech legendary MX518 which was very good and beautiful too but the wire was a bit fragile and the pins were small, they wore out quickly. I decided to get the Pro in the ether. It's absolutely not true that from a sticky sense or something else I usually wash my hands before touching the mouse and keyboard and eat at the table in the kitchen. If I really have to eat something, e.g. snacks, chips, sandwiches, ice cream or something else... while I'm watching a film, I avoid getting everything smeared with greasy and sticky hands by touching the mouse, keyboard, headphones and mat by simply going to wash them thoroughly with soap. I recommend the mouse, then you decide... last but not least, the sensor chip (not to be underestimated) is very good among other things. don't listen to this guy who makes the video, he doesn't understand anything.

Imagine being the guy at logitech when your boss comes up to you and tells you to program the lighting software to work with Anthem LMAO

Got mine and the right click doesn't work. If i turn it off and leave it alone for a few hours the right click starts to work for roughly 10 to 30 minutes.

"The Logitech G502 X Plus hopes to continue on from it's earlier legacy" from its* earlier legacy Also, I'm a little disappointed that you didn't mention the removal of the DPI indicator light, which is IMO a very significant feature and probably the biggest downside of the newer model

If you liked the 502 (which is the best id ever used) you will like this one. Its a bit overpriced but is great overall and i would buy it again.

Not only rgb is difference. Also G502 lightspeed has micro usb instead of type c like 502plus has.

It's absolute trash, two months after I bought mine the left click stops working if it gets to hot, logitech wants to make a subscription mouse, while their mouse doesn't even work half the time.

aint now way people actually care about a mouse weight like what the flip 🤣 its a MOUSE!!!!!

Still gonna buy it.

So far, I'm loving this mouse! I've been using a POS mouse for years and this has been a pleasure to use so far, haven't run into any issues yet. I just feel like there's a lot of haters out there about this. People these days are being way too picky and complain about stupid little things. Yes, this mouse is a little pricey cause it just came out. So, if you're looking to get this but unsure, I'd say go for it.

I was gifted this from my wife... and honestly i hate it. This is a mouse made for palm grip, if you are claw or finger grip just dont even bother. Why i hate it though is how hard the click buttons are. Im not looking to destroy my hand for a slightly faster response mouse. Id pick a 10$ mouse with soft clicks over this every single day of the year. Needless to say i returned it in the nicest way possible. Edit: On a palm grip the clicks arent that hard. You are clearly meant to cup the whole mouse in your hand and click the buttons at the very tip, which is the opposite to how i hold a mouse.

The weight is fine tbh, I recently got one as a replacement for my broken superlight under warranty. Not sure I would be happy with the 150$ price tag 🤷‍♂🤷‍♂

I’ve had mine for a while now, main complain is the scroll wheel, dpi buttons. The free scroll wheel is something I don’t enjoy purely because I do play shooters, can’t be y-y 360 no scoping everybody ya know? I also find myself accidentally changing dpi and I have yet to change it in the profile (postal employee, sorry sometimes just wanna game) so I know it’s more of my fault than the mouse, but unlucky I have to change it. Overall though, I do enjoy the mouse, I wish I would have invested in the death adder v3 purely because I loved the v2 so much. But the mouse after I disable the scroll wheel, the mouse feels great in my hand as I have larger hands than most, the clocks feel great for my bigger palm grip, because I push towards the end of the buttons, the battery lasts me hours and I charge maybe weekly. I did have a lot of customization to it as we, so it does feel very Personal when you make a profile. It does have add-able weights to make heavier but although I find it fine. Overall I would say 7-10. Overall great feel besides scroll wheel, and goddamn was it expensive lol

Weight doesn't matter in the long run. Building muscle memory is what's important. What I've experienced is that heavy mice allow for better micro adjustments while gaming. I am a global elite faceit 10 at CSGO and i own both this and a super light. With a g502 i have more buttons at my disposals which give me more effective control management, an advantage over light mouse gamers as it saves time, AND stability

Diamond Lobby like the grip texture on the OG 502 so much that he had it tattooed on his left hand.

Thanks for the review! I've got this one with the g915 on black friday for a dime and as a casual gaming gardener, the weight is completely unnoticeable for me. My skills wouldn't be any less clumsy with a full fletched gaming mouse. Where did you get the triangular mousepad btw.?!?! I love it!

Save yourself money and just get the g502 lightspeed.

I just bought x version after 3 years of original and what is problem for me, not mentioned anywhere, left main button is smaller than use to be approx 0.5cm at the front edge. When I click on the left main button, I am touching side button!!! Did not happen with original one.

Ive had an old G502 Lightspeed for years now, its been my main mouse for a long time, and it needs to be retired, poor thing has some clicks not register, while other clicks double, and the rubber on the sides has been wearing off that all the original triangle patterns are just gone, and parts of the rubber are just falling off. I think its time for a replacement.

No one should be using the DPI switches as actual DPI switches. Unless youre playing some shooter and need to change DPI on the fly (who does that anyway?). Bind them as normal mouse switches, switch off the RGB to make it last longer, store all the mouse setting on the mouse itself and never open the logitech-g-experience-center-headquarters whatever it is software again (dont let it autostart). I think with this in mind, this might be one of the best mice out there. I just wish it had a BT mode as well, so I wouldnt always have to have the fucking dongle plugged into one of my few usb ports on my laptop. just waiting for it to go on sale now.

I feel like I am the only one that doesnt remap the DPI buttons to something else like CTRL+V and Enter. I set it to 1 DPI and use that for everything else, I barely every "shift" DPI. Even when Sniping I just use like 3000 for desktop and Max DPI in-game and set in-game sens to 1 or as low as possible. I've never really needed to "shift" dpi whilst in a game.

I bought this to replace my g502 light speed and realized that it doesn’t have wireless charging so my power play mouse pad is basically useless now so that kinda sucks

The dpi you can disable, and rebind for custom macros

I didn't listen to you and I bought the RGB. Coming from a G502 wireless, this is a healthy upgrade. Note: dont post click bait titles. I already knew what you were gonna say.

best review ive watched, i feel like the non rgb is even better as its 7g lighter! mine comes on thursday :)

sadly they don't sell the G502 x lightspeed, to the x plus is the only option for me if i want a good performance G502

- Not a huge fan of the rubber. -/- I like the new sniper button. -/- The old index buttons were not great, and they are still not good. I much prefer how they are on the Corsair Ironclaw. Pokey and grippy. -/- Don't care about RGB unless it is a DPI indicator that is visible while holding. -/- - Speaking of Corsair, never buy Corsair mice. Two M65 and one Ironclaw broke down on me at around 2 or 3 months of use each. Would not recommend. Will always recommend Logitech for reliability and build quality.

The rubber is the worse part of it. Just give us a plastic only mouse!

Thanks for this video, I bought the G502X Plus yesterday, it arrived today. Best purchase in a long time. Thanks

if u are working with AutoCAD or some other software where u need to use a middle click don't buy this series of the mouse... The middle click is tough to press and it can go right and left so u can make a mistake very easily... also coz of the hardness to press it, it is not precise and when u are working fast middle-click doesn't hold the whole time so u are drop view very often

The led strip is legit the stupidest most uncomfortable thing I've ever had the displeasure of grazing against my palm. Returned due to that stupid stupid STUPID led strip.

how's the rattle/wobble on the scroll wheel when moving side to side ?

I don't like the side buttons that are on rightclick... why would they do that? Sticking to Razer....

I just bought this mouse and I dropped the new lightspeed and gave it to my brother. After this I don’t think I’ll go to another, it’s amazing… aim and 3 buttons for my thumb is the best

I don t understand why on Amazon Italy cost 30 euros more the version without led than the plus x?! WTF

I just can’t understand the pricing. $160 for a mouse when I got my Razer Orochi v2 for $30. Obviously this has some more features, the sensor and switch quality are ultimately the same so the FPS performance is the same. I think this mouse should be $100, and I hate how Logitech is charging more for RGB just like Razer used to do with Chroma versions. Razer got better and Logitech got worse.

why is the big deal about the damn weight everybody become weak some how ? i have the original G502 (still using it ) and the G502 hero and never say oh a need a super ultra light mouse

Acquistato quasi un mese fa ,ma faccio il reso. Considerando il costo dello stesso dico: Bellezza sulla scrivania : 10 Durata della batteria : 6 ( la 1' carica durato 2 sett intense , la seconda sembri stia durando la metà ) Illuminazione : 10 + Velocità di risposta 10+ Comodità : 6 ( il tasto laterale da cecchino nonostante la prolunga , per utilizzarlo comodamente bisogna avere un pollice lungo 10 cm. Nuovi piedini PTTF :4 molto scorrevoli ma ( utilizzandoli con pad rigido logitech , si consumano come un wafer su carta brasiva da 120 ) Feedbach switch : 3 ( motivo della restituzione ) NUOVI SWITCH IBRIDI CON TECNOLOGIA LASER , dire pessimi , é fare un complimento. Appena sballato già il feedback era 🤔...a distanza di quasi un mese ..per carità ! Switch sx si é irrigidito gravando sensibilmente sul rate di fuoco ( ovviamente utilizzato click to click ). Gioco su sparatutto dal 96 , credo che dopo 27 anni di esperienza, posso garantire che questo SUPERMOUSE non é assolutamente adatto a gli sparatutto e soprattutto il prezzo ragazzi..attenzione ai vostri soldini 😉. Grazie del video molto bello,ma pessimo scherzetto di logitech

I was a big Razer fan last year I bought myself my first set of peripherals mouse keyboard and speakers all Razer and just after a year my mouse Basilisk v3 gave up I was really disappointed just purchased this g502 x plus hopefully it doesn’t disappoint lol

Appearance: G502 Delta Zero > G502 Hero > G502X RGB: G502 Delta Zero = Hero > G502X Plus G502 Delta Zero is the best and LGS is better than G Hub for me

I actually got x plus just because it's on sales and cheaper than X. The video title scare the shit out of me

lightspeed only gang ftw, I don't like rgb

I agree, If you don't care about a light that will drain battery go buy a lightspeed version insteed. And that's going to be my choice in the future.

On the logitechg website it says it has 13 programable buttons, but I only count 11, the same number as the original g502 lightspeed?

So my issue with this mouse is unwanted inputs from the scroll wheel. Playing apex I have my forward movement and jump bound to the scroll wheel for wall jumps and tap strife which is great for the free spin wheel but it get annoying when I go to lift up my mouse to reset center the mouse wheel is so sensitive that it causes me to jump at unwanted times and gets me kill more times than not. Is there a way to decrease the sensitivity or stop this without having the wheel locked. Any input from anyone would be helpful.

'Shapewise there is no difference between old and new'... except that is rubbish. Just looking at them side by side I can see a bunch of differences, most notably the front right side curves in more making it more suitable for claw grip. The upper back is slimmer, the thumb support flairs out more and the top left buttons are larger. That is what I can see, I would probably be able to find more if I had the mouse.

Good review, recently making the switch from Cougar to Logitech mice and you've helped a lot, thanks a lot man

Please turn down the music, It makes it quite hard for my poor mushy brain to follow the video

I got the G502 X with Logitech Powerplay mouse pad but i forgot to put the battery in. I just thought it was a 2nd battery in the box. After 18 days the mouse stopped working despite i got it always on the charging pad....and i use my PC 8+ hours every day. So i hope it will be 18 days *2 with the battery inserted xD

interesting my wired none rgb 502x cost about £55 and I bought for the single function it has that no other Logitech mouse has, and that is the mouse wheel scroll can be bound to buttons, It was possible to do with other Logitech mice but only through script. But.. although I have NEVER had a problem with any Logitech mouse double clicking, the 502X is the only mouse I have ever owned that fails to click on a very regular occurrence

this guy thinks everything is heavy cuz he's 600 pounds

Question: does it work with the powerplay mousepad? I am assume I will, but I have found an answer to this question. Thank you!

I took the weight out of my g703 and it fits into it perfectly.

This is a temporary fix, which is why I got the ASUS ROG Spatha X Wireless Gaming Mouse. Replaceable switches and battery with NO sodering! Making ASUS ROG Spatha X Wireless Gaming Mouse an investment for many years of useage.

must be nice having one that works. bought mine 12 hours ago, it worked for the first 3 hours. now when i click nothing happens x) well worth the $$

Lets just hope logitech finally fixed their crappy double clic issue. Specially since their mouses cost much more now.

Rubber Triangles on the old G502? I've had mine for so long its a completely smooth surface by now

Do you have any kailh 8.0 switches to compare with the new logitech opticals? How is the weight between the two?

Man I hate those fucking "weight"-kiddos, who think they will be FPS-Pro's, just because they have a light mouse. I loved the heavy mouses and now all companies make these shitty light mouses because if those kiddos. As if ANYONE would play better because the mouse is 20g lighter!!

I put some lubricant oil on the front wheel because it was squeeking and now it doesn't scroll up or down consistently. At least it doesn't squeak as much but now I'm sad I can't scroll t.t
