Linus: *Give me ONE reason to NOT upgrade* Me: I don't have any money.

Gamers - "it's too heavy" Me - "adds all extra weights"

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...

Don’t you just love how in the background, the mouse is moving like a mad boy on the monitor 😂

Cable management sponsor on a video about a wireless mouse... Genius

Give me one reason to upgrade Me : looks at wallet..

"internal endoskeleton" so... a skeleton?

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.

A video about cutting cords. A sponsor about fancy cables. Seems legit.

1:11 the monitor screen has the mouse moving in the back ground lol

its incredible how this pc setup with up to date high end equipment by the time of this video is after not even a year pretty much standard for most pc's

I literally love the G 502 hero so much, I’m never using another mouse again

The ONE reason NOT to upgrade is PRICE.

“Give me ONE reason” 1. The price

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.

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 thought thats ok 150$, then I remembered I live in Australia and thats UD$ and fell out of my chair.

"Give me ONE reason.." "$150" Found it.

When I got my first laptop, my cousin lent me his G502 Hero that he used to use (he currently using a G903) and I fell in love with it. A year later, I returned it because I bought my own 502 Lightspeed and just arrived about 30 minutes after it arrived in the mail. So far, so good.

did logitech really have to specify that the mouses endoskeleton was internal?

That missed cusser moving in the background cracked me up 🤣😂🤣😂

G502 LightSpeed: $150 G502 SE Hero: $30 It's literally 5 times the price on Amazon.

Lol love the test with the mock wire. Thanks for this video!

I was so surprised when my friend wanted the lightest mouse possible. I always played on my bed since I didn't have a table, and I used the G203 Prodigy (loved it). Once I got my own desk, I couldn't use the Prodigy anymore, it was way too light. So I looked around and found the G502 Wireless and it is the best mouse I have ever used. Weight is perfect, and the shape is amazing. Super comfortable and just all round a great mouse. I turn off the RGB and I usually get a few weeks of use out of it before having to charge it. Can't recommend it enough.

Linus: *talks about how people wanted mice without cables* Linus 10 seconds later: *Talks about a cable modding company*

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

I recently got mine as an upgrade to my Proteus Core so I can finally stop traveling with the cable. I just hope the middle click wouldn't die on me as quickly as it did for my old G502, their choice of using a small smd tact switch as opposed to a mechanical switch like every other button on the mouse definitely shortens this mouse's lifespan. I managed to solder on a new switch but all I could find were so heavy to press that I'd press the side scroll buttons too, good luck finding one that's as light to press on as the oem switch. As for the micro usb port, I can definitely live with carrying an extra cable around and I already trimmed down an old micro usb cable to fit the mouse so I never have to bring (and risk losing) the original cable. And as of the price, I got it brand new for ~$100, and I personally love this mouse from form factor to button options/placements so it's an investment that I'm happy to make, plus the inclusion of powerplay support definitely adds some futureproofing to this, assuming Logitech doesn't kill it by the time I can afford it. 'Cause unless/until it breaks, I don't plan on getting anything other mouse anytime soon. P.S. make the scroll wheel programmable

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.

3-4 years ago, I could see reviewers hating lightweight mice and now its all the rage. How times change.

Advertises cable management on a video all about going wireless... seems legit to me

I had 2 G500 back when they were around. I got 1 G502 Core Proteus when that came out. Then got a 2nd G502 for work, but this time the G502 Hero with RGB. Now it's time to buy this G502 Lightspeed!

‘One reason not to upgrade’ 1: The mouse is perfectly fine. 2: You save money 3: You’re probably getting it for free like that mouse there.

LTT should really do a tech version of "worth it". E.g. $15 mouse vs $60 mouse vs $150 mouse.

Reviews a wireless mouse, and our sponsor of the day is cablemod! Wait...

A friend of mine gave me his G502 wireless. Its an amazing mouse! Its true about not being able to tell the difference between it and a wired mouse.

Love the shape and buttons getting the wireless version today had the wired one

"Cable Mod" sponsor of a WIRELESS mouse. Lol

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.

I had a g502 for about 2 years and went and tried the razer viper ultimate and I’m in love.

i like how when linus was comparing the wired and the wireless mice, the wireless one was connected to the pc on the background and whenever the wirless one moved the cursor on the pc also moved

I'm a G502 user and I really cannot live without it's scroll wheel decouple feature anymore, I use it so frequently. I could give up everything else about this mouse except that, I didn't realise it would become so integral to the way I feel about mice.

6:36 - 6:56 *Sighs. *Opens wishlist. Edit : *Sees €149 price. *Closes wishlist

Got one last year, its really really good, does feel a bit heavy at the beginning but once you get used to its amazing, the only thing missing for me is the thumb rest for the other side because my fingers sometiems drag on the mousepad and it can get annoying at certain times

One year later... and my co-worker pointed out my tweet is in this video. Happy my purchase of the G903...but my woes of not getting a wireless G502 are forever immortalized in this video.

Did anyone else watch the curser in the background move too

Because my (O)G502 still works perfectly fine?

I love my wired version so much I’m now considering upgrading after 3 years. I have big hands and the slightly expanded mouse buttons awesome.

Im still having the non RGB G502 and it's still fine after around 10.000 hours of using. Just the ruber is a bit warn i think, i even got new sliders somewhere in a box ^^. I like this mouse relay much all the buttons are on the right spot and its realy comfy fit perfectly for my hand. And weight - i like it when its more heavy - all included weights are inside of the mouse.

one reason: having the wired g502

The Glorious Model O just came out thats a good reason.

Past Linus - "We don't have a whole warehouse to test mouse sensitivity" Future Linus - "Are you sure about that?"

just bought one for £59.90 bargain, love it. Had Proteous Spectrum, Hero, Basilisk v2, now back to the g502 but wireless. Happy days.

7:56 shout out to AI Machine for editing this video. Keep up the good work ma dude

"Competitors like Final Mouse" Final Mouse doesn't sell anything, you can't call them a competitor.

I really love the concept of those reviews, really funny...

Just ordered it and now watching the video (afterwards). First time not regretting an order. *satisfaction*

1:20 that mouse cursor do be vibin doe

Review the Glorious Model O, please!

I made the 502 mistake once, when the sensor was being hyped. Went back to Kone Pures after that. Ive never had a mouse become physically painful to use as fast as the 502.

I wasn’t sure if I should buy it because I read about the wheel breaking after a while but I got it anyway (2 years warranty) AND I LOVE IT. Don’t understand why weight would even be an issue, I put in the maximum amount of weights and would love it even more if it was heavier!

Wish they'd refresh the G700 someday, that one still has the best button layout

Rest of the hardware reviewers: Model O Linus: G502!!!

I've been using the original proteus core for years and love it. I guess I'm in the minority in liking a touch extra weight in my mouse. I use 2 of the weights myself. If mine dies on me or I just really want wireless and RGB, I'll probably grab this one.

In my case I sometimes have wireless mouse stuttering in certain games, probably related to high CPU usage. Now I am looking for a wired mouse to use in gaming and continue using the wireless one for work.

Review the Model O please, and props for showing the list of R6 pros (and beaulo/skittlz) at 2:51.

>"you can recoup the cost by selling the wired version that you're probably already using" it shouldn't creep me out that he knows but it does

cutting the mouse coord was honestly the best upgrade i've ever done, its so freeing after a while when you get used to it and start taking it for granted you don't really realize how amazingly free it is to not have that darn cable until you have to plug it in for charing once or twice a month. gpro wireless owner here

I have my g502 2014 model for like almost 7 years now and it still slaps on my fps games

you have no idea how often i sit and see how long i can spin the scroll wheel for on my Proteus spectrum its a genuine distraction

Reason: The Glorious Model O mouse! EDIT: Come to the reviews, I'm glad to see everyone else hyped up about this mouse.

Still using my 502 Proteus Core. Still my favourite mouse. Much prefer the extra weight. Design and construction is spot on.

When you were talking about weight, I noticed the 602. I love my 602, tbh. Still upgraded to the 502 LS, but the 602 is great.

Watching this while looking at my G502 proteus spectrum... i honestly still feel content...

1:10 I love how the cursor zips across the screen as he picks up the mouse

Friend thank you for your good advise and good explanation about the 2 g502 wired and wireless.gid bless you.

I like how the cursor is bugging out in the background lol

1:I like cables 2:My wallet

Still enjoying my original G502 Proteus Core

Was looking to upgrade from my 502 proteus. Thought about the G Pro, but I'm sold on the light speed because I really like the feel of the 502.

Bought the G903 Hero Wireless, initially wanted to test and to return it...I cannot return it, I fell in love with it. Bought after 2 weeks the G502 Wireless Hero based on same idea, hmmm it is absolutely superb mouse, looks better than G903 but for some reason it is not comfortable to me making it feel not so responsive, even though they are using exactly the same sensor (16k hero).

I have the OG G502Proteus Core. It is still awesome.

that's really weird that people want lighter mice, I've always preferred heavier ones

I had a super light mouse that felt cheap and plasticky. I bought the G502 Wired today and it feels great so far much smoother it’s like butter I swear I loaded it up and made it as heavy as possible with the weights just to see how it felt and it’s nice not feeling like air it’s hard to be accurate for me with those tiny mice because I’m jumpy

Well just got a G305 a couple months ago and i cannot praise no cable enough. Besides is pretty much one of the best mice ive ever used and its easily modable, there is NO WAY i will go back to cable. Its insane how much more comfortable it is to use, no cable on desk, freedom of your arm to move however he wants, the micro drag you experience here and there by a cable scratching your mousepad. Its actually night day difference. Its one of those things you dont even know you need until you have one and you re like: ''damn'' And with a 3d printed battery cover and an AA to AAA Converter, it getsthe G305 from 99 grams down to 78grams and surpassing Gpro Wireless in stock configuration while costing a third of its price

Linus: Give me ONE reason NOT to upgrade Me: I already have a G502...

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).

I would love a G700's version of this stuff, love how it feels, not sure if this one or the 903 would be better, cant find a test sales version here where I live.

Does the programmble button on this G502 support shortcuts on PyCharm or any other programming IDE?

The only one thing to NOT buy it is the lightspeed increase of price.

everyone making model O videos. Linus is like 3 weeks behind lmao

I prefer a lighter mouse, but i dont mind a heavy one as long as the weight is evenly distributed across the mouse. I have a cheaper wireless one and the battery shifts the weight back, so when i lift the mouse i have to squeeze it harder to prevent it from rotating backwards in my hand. It can be annoying if you need to use the side buttons often because of the way you need to hold the mouse to be able to press the buttons and be able to lift it.

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..

Love how you segue into sponsors. I've come to expect it and look forward to it.

Ending Credits...Editor: An AI Machine (>'O')>

Just got the hero g502 wired version, its very nice and comfortable for my hand, people may say its heavy and stuff, bruh? This is a heavy mouse for heavy customers, For me personally i lift weights, and i need a solid mice which is well build and can smash clicks, so light weighted mouse wont cut it, and the game your playing plays and important role, Things to consider when buying a mouse: 1. How does it feel in your hands, try it, feel the click, how it moves. 2. What is offered for this its price, is it worth it. 3. Warranty. i choose Logitech G502 hero for its monstrous size, and very minimal led, honestly, i feel mouse with led wont improve your gameplay. Talk about the mouse scroll, the best feature i liked, the scrolling in this mouse is absolutely amazing. I payed for performance not a light show, this is my honest personal preference

I still have the Proteus Core. It just doesn't want to give up. I have treated it very rough during gaming and mad episodes, but it goes on and on and on. This thing is just fantastic. I have been thinking of upgrading to the Hero, but I am not sure it is worth it. Wireless I don't like at all, and the Lightspeed is ridiculously expensive anyway. I could easily afford it, but I don't think it is worth it.

1:10 lol u can see the mouse moving on the screen in the background

Where my OG Proteus core/spectrum bois at

great review, all i needed to know before buy ;)
