Logitech - G502 X PLUS LIGHTSPEED Wireless Optical Gaming Mouse with HERO 25K Sensor - Wireless - White

The original G502 was, and still is, a great mouse. However, it's design is quite familiar by now. Also, while I haven't had this issue, the G502 seems to have lower quality switches which can fail prematurely. While this can be fixed, it's an involved process which requires taking the mouse apart and soldering new switches. It's relatively high weight is also worth noting, especially with today's super lightweight mice. Also, huge props to Logitech for not putting "Pro" anywhere in the name, that's a silly trend that needs to go away. This newer model addresses most of these issues. It has an updated design, new switches, and it sheds quite some weight too. As for comfort, the new 502 is a little bit lower, and a little bit longer. I've always felt that the old 502 was a tad too small, and while the G502 X isn't significantly larger, the tiny bit of extra length (settle down) makes it feel a bit nicer, a small but very welcome improvement. Tracking is the same, which means it's really good. The buttons also feel great to me. The new switches are an optical switch, so they should last way longer than the old switches. All the buttons feel very similar in terms of placement, and they're all about as easy to hit as on the old design. The large button on the thumb rest can also be customized. You can flip it one way or the other. On one orientation its about as easy to hit as on the old design, and the other orientation is much easier to hit. You can also just block it off with a little rubber piece if you don't want it. The only thing I really don't like much is the scroll wheel. It just feels a bit cheap and rattly and reminds me of the scroll wheel on crappy e-waste grade mice. To be clear, it's not awful or anything, but its definitely not nice. I wish they would've used the scroll wheel from the MX Master, but that'd probably be pretty heavy. Speaking of weight, I was never bothered by the 121 gram weight of the old design. At 106 grams, the G502 X Plus is lighter than the old one, but not by much, and it's still not light. If you want a super light mouse, maybe get the corded version (89 g) or just get another mouse. If you're not too bothered, this is an excellent choice. From an aesthetic perspective, the mouse looks very good, it's a modern design that's not bland, but not overly aggressive either. The RGB strip has 8 zones so you can really customize it, you can even crate your own animations. Sadly, it's only available on the top tier G502 X Plus. The wired version doesn't have any RGB, which is a missed opportunity in my opinion. Also, while you can get up to 120 hrs of use on a single charge, it goes down to about 40 with RGB on, which is actually a downgrade from the 60 hours on the old G502 Lightspeed with RGB enabled. I still prefer the extra customization of the LED strip vs the boring single LED on the old design, so I'll happily sacrifice some battery for the much better looks. Also, it now comes in white too (Thank you Logitech!) Just like the old design, the new 502 supports Power Play. It also has USB C charging, and you can use any cable. The older G502 Lightspeed had its ancient Micro USB port buried inside a tiny hole, meaning many cables wouldn't fit, at least not without shaving the connector down with a knife. If you want to change your DPI on the fly with the buttons, the LED strip just changes colors, whereas the old design had 3 LEDs which were easier to interpret. Also, you don't have the ability to add weights like on the old mouse. Personally I don't change DPI on the fly and never used the adjustable weights, so losing these features isn't an issue for me. In conclusion: If you already have a G502, this is a small incremental upgrade. The biggest change is the looks, and a somewhat lighter weight. If you don't care too much about either, you can safely skip this model and stick to your old G502. But if you care about looks as well, or if you're looking for a new mouse, the G502 X is a great choice and I don't see much reason to get it over the old G502, except for maybe price. Aside from the scroll wheel and maybe battery, everything about it is better.

I have had multiple 502s in my time, 502 inspired designed mice as well as Logitech mice in general. My biggest beef with Logitech has been the unfortunate double click issues that plague their mice BUT I think we finally have the fix with these new switches! This mouse looks FANTASTIC in the white colorway and it will also help keep it looking nicer longer vs the way oils create a shine in black MnK even with cleaning! IT feels great in the hand and looks great too! It has customizable RGB zones and custom hot keys that you can setup within the G-Hub app! If you want even more battery life at the expense of RGB you can disable the RGB altogether and get almost 140 hours out of one charge! Speaking of charge this mouse has USB-C charging so it charges back up very fast! The connection has always been solid with the USB transmitter. I have never had it lag or dropout on me once since owning it. The buttons are very nice and responsive and I have had no experience of double clicks or misclicks. The scroll wheel is the classic two style that the 502 has always had giving you the option to make it infinite scroll if you enjoy that. The side button can be customized to your like by being able to rotate it or put a flat dummy cover on it which is a nice feature! If you have been looking for an excuse to get another 502 for the collection or need a new mouse I can highly recommend this one!

Love it. Switched from the razer basilisk and I have 0 regrets. Everything about this mouse is just quality and comfort. I am a small content creator so I always have to think about comfort when choosing a mouse I have to use for more than half of my day everyday (no I am not sponsored). This mouse is the definition of comfort. It fits perfectly in my hand. The mouse has a little weight to it but not enough to break my hand off. The 2 side buttons are satisfying to click. The middle mouse button setting is just perfect to have in a certain situation you might encounter. I charged this mouse to 100% the first day I got it, 6 days ago, and have been using it non stop since then and I have yet to charge it again. With rgb on by the way. The battery is a beast. A quality product Logitech has. And with a fair price of only $130 (I had it on sale) it is a no brainer to purchase. Even at its original $160 price range it is still worth every penny. Don’t overthink it when getting this mouse. Buy it if you can.
