I never understood that lol how is a mouse too heavy? Lol. Literally doesn't take much to move it around

@@jesseg94 I can explain it but try to keep an open mind

Skill issue

Facts Tom

​@@KeenScout. go on

😂yes i though the same thing 😂😂😂

Imagine how many takes he had to do to get the perfect one lol

im having so many connectivity issues like it starts "Skipping" like moving left to right can get delayed. I am going to reach out to logitech but we shall see

It is the only mouse I will ever own, I’ve had 2 502 heros and just uprgraded to the white x. The lighter weight is nice and all but I do kinda miss the rgb. I will say though my palms do get a little sweaty on the shell material after a few hours

For me it's been the most durable, reliable mouse I've ever owned. I've had mine for 7 1/2 years now and even through very, VERRRYYY heavy usage it is still going supremely strong. Not once has the infamous "double click" issue ever reared its ugly head. Not once have I ever had tracking issues with it. Not once has its mouse wheel ever given me any issues. Really the only problem I've had is that over time, the rubber grip along the side has worn down significantly. Beyond that it still functions like a champ, which is incredible considering just how long I've had it and how much abuse it's taken.

That’s exactly why I like the 502. I remap the sniper button for use with other short cuts. Also remap the dpi buttons when I launch games so I can use it for stuff like pinging. It’s just an all around great mouse. I’m happy and welcome the changes. I’m glad they didn’t make it a completely new mouse and upgraded some stuff like the switches and gave it a little extra customization.

Yep, since I get my G502, I get why many people like this (or liked it until the lightweight gaming mice trend emerged). The problem I have with light weight mice, its just all about lightness anymore but they are basically just a normal mice. For most I guess that's fine, but I felt like I need a mice that allows me to actually do more since I don't use my PC only for gaming, I even do it for productivity and since pandemic, use for WFH use as well. G502 despite marketed as a gaming mice, is actually for me one of the best productivity mice out there, better than to even likes of well-regarded MX Master Mouse from the same company. The extra buttons are great for quick macro/shortcut functionality for different apps I used and for gaming as well, not needing to reach that certain function on the keyboard that is too far to reach with the fingers. I don't want to develop RSI in the long term, the buttons actually benefits ergonomics for me and makes me feel more efficient. I'm kinda disappointed that most mice and keyboards are indeed moved away from extra macro and dedicated keys for years. Felt like I'm paying more for less and very few options that offer one that now they became expensive because they became more niche.

Same. Mapped everything on it in Doom Eternal.

It's still not enough buttons for me, as an avid MMO player I need all the buttons I can get to assign macros and hotkeys to. Which is why I stuck to Razer's Naga Pro and its swappable sides, if I'm not playing an MMO, I can just use the 2- or 6-button layout.

@@Aturixios Yeah for MMOs, those mice like Naga or even Logitech own G604 are better suited. I actually want to get those since those extra buttons would be sweet for productivity, but I'll wait for update of G604 assuming Logitech hasn't forgotten about it due to light mice trend we have these days. I want to have G604 but some RGB so I can assign it as profile indicator, and maybe same feel with G502. Idk how G604 feels though.

Yea true , the click sounds quiet bad imo, and the redesigns take away what i love about the lightspeed that is the sharp curves , though the click is prone to double click but as someone who have been using the viper with the original optical switches for the past 2-3 years , im very confident to say that mechanical switches feels and sounds better than optical

Same. And that plastic wheel looks scuffed.

@@Bruh-cj8pt The clicks sound like every other mechanical mouse switch out there. This is a hybrid mechanical optical switch and probably feels exactly like a mechanical one since it uses the same click mechanism a mechanical switch does.

@@Bruh-cj8pt are those gen1? I think gen3 opticals do feel much better than the earlier iterations. Should feel close to Razer's mechanical offerings.

I agree. I don’t know what I was expecting but this feels like they just added new switches and changes up the bodywork to call it a day. Also, I prefer the look and feel of the old scroll wheel and I prefer the slightly heavier feel and the appearance of the old light speed

The marketing is mixed but the technical spec section of the wired G502 X says it has RGB and some promotional videos and material have it lit up while some don’t. It is confusing of that is true or not

@@joshhalliday7903 can turn on and off obviously

Agreed my man

Another white mouse to buy, like Rival 5 Destiny, Logitech s502 KDA. I have Corsair m65, Roccat Kova aimo, Kone aimo, Razer lancehead.

@SawL EatR nope, I play pc in the dark. Mouse rgb helps me see where it is.

Do provide a 2 month review here I will be waiting for you

@@cwbgaming8913 Mh, my G502 is now 7 years old. 0 problems. But yeah thanks.

@@cwbgaming8913 So what you are saying is that I should buy an objectively worse mouse with a shittier sensor and bad switches for more than a g502. Thanks for the input but unlike you, I won't choose my mouse based on how much RGB garbage they can put in it.

@@cwbgaming8913 lol. No sniper button. This mouse is simply a piece of plastic for those who use their thumb to aim instead of right button. There are almost no alternative to the G402/g502 if you want an efficient and ergonomic mouse for shooter. Can believe that in 2022 people use long press major finger on right button for aiming. As inefficient and dumb as non split keyboards

@chink exterminator While the G Pro is a good simple light mouse, you can’t map as many actions because of the lack of buttons

Been using the GPX Superlight for over a year now too, and I love how lightweight it is, but I’m gonna try this mouse out and maybe just hold onto both

I agree with this, for a long time usage I think G502 is better (probably because it's ergonomic), but from personal experience it's just meh for playing FPS (other games are fine)

The g pro x is a great fps mouse but im always switching games from fps to mmo to moba sometimes; thats why i think the g502x plus is my go-to-mouse its just does everything well.

@@ffac789 which one do you like more? im torn only between trhe gpx superlight and g502 x plus.

@@gausly1032 I hate being a lightweight snob but honestly after going to the heavier G502 X, I much prefer the Superlight, or in my case I switched to the Razer Deathadder V3 Pro. I like its switches more and the ergo feel is perfect. I would say my only complaint is lack of dedicated on/off slider switch for the mouse lmao, where the DPI button is also the power button (very minor gripe). Until Logi makes a SL with optical switches I’m sticking with this

Put off buying a new mouse for so long, saying the same thing about my OG g502. Sucker still refuses to give up the ghost, 9 years later. Oh well

ikr, mice that are too light often feel cheap and imprecise to me

ya nothin like a nice heavy mouse, I found the original razer deathadder perfect size and weight. any recommendations for a mouse today similar?

Agreed. I feel like I’m Gonna accidentally throw them across the room 😭

I was thinking the same exact thing!

sucks you got that unlucky, ive had my same first gen wired g502 for multiple years now with hours of use daily and none of the switches have failed :I

Seems like Logitech listened and released the Superlight 2!

Honestly, I wish I knew about this mouse back when I had purchased my first gaming mouse. It seems like I'd be treated better by the sheer quality that Logitech offers for such a cheap mouse, compared to other cheapo mice brands.

People don't understand that a light mouse isn't the best for everyone. You also need to be able to handle it. The priority should be on what shape and weight works best for you. In randomfrankp's video on why he went back to the G502, he mentions how he was accused of hacking because he was doing that well.

@@Root174 exactly. My friend loves the old Razer Lancehead TE for its silver look and shape and I pushed him a bit since he plays insanely low sensitivity to which he did try a v2 deathadder he had and went straight back. Personal preference people lol

It was memed because mice elitists think that all gamers should be competitive fps pro wannabes, they forget that casual/single player/PvE gamers are the majority

Honestly if you aren’t playing at the top level, finding the correct shape, good sensor, durable and with enough buttons for your need is way better than weight. 80g with a good shape vs 60g with a less fitting weight for me just isnt comparable.

same, it's one of the only mouses with my preferred button layout along with the rival 500 (RIP), corsair nightsword, and asus spatha. however my personal gripe is still the scroll wheel. i hoped they would do one with the mechanism swapped out for another ordinary switch.

well for me, who has the powerplay mat, the imput change wont effect me

More durable click button is great. 502 is having a durability problem

Then buy the non RGB one. It's 20 bucks cheaper

@@nikod615 160 is still way to much for a mouse.

give it a bit and it will go on sale. G502 Lightspeed retails for $200 CAD and goes on sale for $120 often

@@fillezzo It really depends. I don't feel like it's bad for a mouse to be in that price range especially when the mouse has a good sensor, really good build quality and other stuff like extra buttons and stuff like that. Right now I use the G Pro superlight for my setup and before that, I used the g502 lightspeed and the non-lightspeed variant before that and they are all solid mice. I think the pricepoint is justified by what you get and i would happily buy this mouse if I still preferred the g502 ergonomics over my G Pro superlight.

These double click issue is a bit annoying. I mean, my second lightspeed doesn't have these problems (my first had Sensor and switch problems that randomly dissolved) I will wait several months that i can be shure that there are no problems with this mouse.

i own mine since 2018 and had no issues since. Its the wired one though.

I have the logitech g604 mouse which I'm pretty sure has the same switches as yours. It obviously sounds ridiculous, but try taking a deep breath and exhaling as hard as you can into the mouse underneath the primary and secondary buttons (left click and right click). Totally fixed my double clicking issues I'd been having for at least 6 months prior. Can't promise it'll work for you as well, but it's a fix that costs nothing and might potentially save you having to get a new mouse!

Glad they swapped the switches... Ive had 2 g502 lightspeed, 1 g604 break within 2years........

I had two mouses from Logitech that had double-clicking issues, that's why I changed to viper last week, rip timing.

Although the Basilisk has better fit to my hand, I have to say that its build is crap. Its plastic thin and soft, gives me loose feeling. I return it after a night.

Same, I have the wired G502 Hero mouse and plan on getting the G502 X model for no RGB since I don't use it.

@chink exterminator Some really prefer the G502 over other mice, even with the added price of the Powerplay mat. For me it's the shape, the button placement, the infinite scroll wheel when I need it. You can also wait for the price of the G502 X Lightspeed or Plus to drop if you're not in a hurry. Though personally, I might not get Powerplay considering the 140 hour battery life.

I have also a g903, did you finally switch the g502x for the g903??

@@Villanes I never got to. I will try to get one for christams though!

Save for the g pro

Seriously. I’m never buying another mouse without the infinite scroll, I’ve been using the G502 and variants of it for 6 years and I’m only just now “upgrading” (we’ll see) to a G604, obviously still going to keep the 502 around as a backup.

42 that is a steal

i paid $25 for mine brand new in box

After having the same mouse for 5 or so years, mines finaly on the way out, so I bought another one for 30 dollars, I got the regular gloss black one tho, the scroll wheel tilt controls never worked on my SE edition

@@dreadfulbeef7653 I just bought the g502x plus in white for $70 brand new in box it's awesome but the lightness is gonna take some getting used to also ghub is confusing af to use smh

@@edwardwongliupepelutivrusk1262 i got my nephew one for 36 bucks before christmas as his first gaming mouse. he thought i was a god, lol. i love mine and just picked up the lightspeed plus and i hope its as good.

That is why there LIGHTFORCE hybrid switches provide reliable, ultralow latency optical actuation. There optical with like a MECHANICAL sound. any switch that is optical will never have that problem like other Logitech mice. They had all omron mouse switches that all will end in a double click death.

I mean you know.. If it double click then just change the switch.. It's just a lil bit of soldering and you get to pick what kind of switches suits you

You can just make em lighter yourself lol

@@amirulizzat2114 how.?

there’s the Razer Basilisk X Hyperspeed, which is basically a lighter G502

I was hoping the same thing, even 90g or less would been fine for me.

@@alexkwan3 it's like 90 sth grams, I know cuz I have one

its already out for quite some time (glorious model i)

@@wiitx26 I know the model I is out but I am waiting for the wireless version.

Model I is out for a while, its shit though

@@wiitx26 it's not a g502 without the hyperscroll and the two button beside LMB. I don't think Logitech would use a honeycomb shell. Heck they managed to make the g pro x sl without resorting to honeycombing.I don't understand the obsession with lightweight mouse lol.

@@7tqpbnvh7tqpbnvh77 You would have to use a lightweight mouse to understand. I just convinced my friend to convert from heavy g502 to a light mouse and he already can't go back after a day or 2.

Seriously ha. I'm waiting for optical switches too!

go with the razer basilisk 3, it is basically a much better G502

@@perceptivity_ Worse switches, less side buttons, and it's heavier. How is it better?

Exactly. The cheap black rubber literally melts after a few months of use. If they change the materical and solve double-clicking issues I will buy it even if it costs over 200.

I keep buying a new G502 every 2-3 years because the rubber just disintegrates and becomes gross. But this is the best mouse for me.

@Antares 8001 is it still holding up good?

@@theblackbro69 the rubber still wears out fairly quickly, but so far it hasn't become oily and gross like it tended to do on the older 502 models. Then again the older models were also not too bad for me until after the 1 year mark or so, but so far I'd say it's an improvement.

@@Antares-dw9iv oh thanks for the reply and opinion

I hate this new limpdick era of mice, trying to be as light as possible, I like the tanky/hefty feel of my G502, Ive been looking for getting this but it has no addable weights or anything to offset the weight reduction.

​@@teku0000cry harder, heavy weight mice are completely useless for gaming

@@re4796 Maybe if youre a limp wristed and limp dicked, then maybe yes, or if you are geriatric sure

i know im the same i love my heavy fully weighted g502 se bt these new mice looks so good i picked up the wired black version and a white plus version and was very shocked just how light they are, cant wait to see the difference from going from one extreme to the other.

I like heavier mice too, I'm just used to it and it feels more comfortable to me. Wish it supported weights

Well also rgb on a wireless mouse wastes a lot of battery

But what if the RGB version has a bigger battery? You turn the RGB off and you get more juice.

I read on the plus the RGB turns off when your hand is on the mouse. Saves battery while using is nice

@@corydebate4043 at the same time, wasting battery while not using isn't nice. xD

The wired G502 Hero is only $40 now. Kinda feels like a ripoff even at $80 for the wired G502 X. I'd have been much more receptive to the price if they had reduced the weight more than they did.

@@nataku411 the g502 had an MSRP of 130€ in my country. They weren't that cheap either. This new iteration will fall in price too with time

Sadly, it is a current trend now, so the heavier gaming mice will be a niche and expensive thing to have these days. Normal productivity mice are not suited for gaming due to Bluetooth latency and other connectivity issues. There might be still heavier ones, but from lesser known brands that the quality may be hit and miss, and software might be bad.

They are regular optical switches, they're just calling them hybrid switches for some very weird marketing reasons.

@@Antares-dw9iv ah I see

isnt the OG wireless 502 up there in price. What i cant understand is they offer the AA powered G604 with the same sensor and its always on sale for 60-70$....yet they wont even offer a AA powered 502 as a "cheap" option when weight is clearly not a remote factor as far as that specific mouse/model when theres aspects like "ADDING WEIGHT" to the 150$ mouse. They really need to put the G305 setup in other mice....call it "wireless" and sell it on the cheap like the g305....and call it a day...150$ mouse is really not practical in the landscape of pc gaming when we just got passed a "SEASON" of mark ups and GPU scarcity....to think anyone would get their 150$ worth out of a mouse outside of ppl that are "well to do" that already have a flagship system/monitor etc setup....Its like logitech doesnt realize a lot of ppl DONT like the G305 shape etc...and weight is a non factor to them....Or they arent PURE FPS gamers....Also the battery life of a lithium ion AA energizer in the G305 is like 3 months+ depending on use....the G604 bc of the hero sensor is like 1m max. With the caveat of remembering to turn polling rate/user profile to a non gamer profile aka "daily driver mode" to 125hz polling to save battery.....than "gamer mode" e.g 500-1000hz.....for mmo/arpg/moba etc. Meanwhile The feet wont last remotely a year of use on a hard pad.

Again..? It always has been.

Does this mouse also wobble and rattle when shaken/moved quickly side to side ?

The g502 will always be useful for me because the extra buttons on the mouse and infinite scroll are really useful features to have for someone who uses their setup for both gaming and productivity.

I have the MX Master 3 at work and my only complain switching between it and my good old G502 Hero is the wheel. I was looking forward to buying the G502 X but now I'm wondering if it will feel like an upgrade at all...
