Logitech G502 Lightspeed Wireless Gaming Mouse with Hero 25K Sensor, PowerPlay Compatible, Tunable Weights and Lightsync RGB - Black

The good: It feels lighter and easier to move than other mice. After spending hours with figuring out the software, you can get some great customization - even keyboard macros. The hardware performs really well, especially with the available on-the-fly variable movement responsiveness due to real-time DPI customization. The bad: -Recharging.- Ok, we know that going in, but still, the G602 felt a little heavier, but rarely did it require any attention for putting in a new replaceable battery. With this mouse... one more device to seemingly constantly be charging . -Cables- Plan on using only the special micro-usb cord from the box and no other cable, keeping that specific cable close by so you can charge every week. Dont expect to use a standard micro-usb, cable, because the mouse has a deep square hole that seems specially formed to not fit any other typical micro-usb cable. One more special cable; great. Glad you bought a wireless mouse? You could buy their special charging mouse pad, but wait....maybe that is also one more custom special cable? -Wasted Time- Plan on either much faster battery use, or spending 2.5 hours with poor software trying to figure out, among other things, how to turn down or off the lighting so that it doesnt consume the battery way faster than expected. Profiles do not need to be hard to work with, if the manufacturer can make decent software, or at the very least, a write a decent manual. The manuals will not fully give some specific basic information that you need, like What does that button really do? How do I ___? Why didnt that work as expected? Why? Why? Why? Expect trial and error, with lots of error (even for a very experienced software developer), with sometimes nothing more than basic hints from the manual on certain topics, but read it anyway, in advance, to save more hours of frustration. UPDATE WEEK LATER: Once you finally deal with the lighting, it does a great job of not wasting battery when you leave it on while the PC is off overnight. The software reported only 1% drain overnight. The lightness and subsequent precision of small movements still seem better than the 602, even though it should be very similar. The scroll wheel is much more notchy feeling as you roll it -- way, way too much for my preference. With typically a few hours of PC use per day, the battery level has 26% left nine days in. No gameplay tests yet. The buttons seem to click too easily at times. Still, it can be worth using in place of the 602 mouse if you get through all the software mysteries and dont mind the recharging.

I was looking for a high DPI mouse to use with my work laptop to crate a full wireless desktop at home. Ive been using gaming mice for work for years as I cant stand mice with average DPI tracking speeds. I like my mice to be super sensitive so that I barely have to move my hand to move the mouse pointer across the whole desktop and even across multiple monitors. Since I am using this with my work computer that I am not allowed to install random software on it was important to me that the mouse allowed the DPI speed setting to be changed with physical buttons on the mouse. Many gaming mice only allow you to adjust the DPI settings via the companion software which wasnt an option for me on my work computer. This mouse has buttons right on the side that let you adjust the DPI speed between several presets right out of the box, no software needed. You can use the software to further refine exactly what DPI each setting will switch to, but I just set the mouse on the maximum setting using the buttons so I dont care about tweaking it further with the software. I also had tried a Bluetooth gaming mouse from Razer previously, but I found that for whatever reason the Bluetooth connection to Windows was not very reliable and I would often lose connectivity to the mouse. Using the Logitech USB receiver has been flawless and the mouse is just as responsive as my previous wired mice were. The receiver is a standard USB plug, so Ill probably have to get a USB C converter at some point when I get a new computer, but thats not a big deal. On the bottom of the mouse there are two removable panels. Then circular panel reveals a storage area for the tiny USB receiver, and also has spots for two weights on the cover itself. The larger panel has spots for additional weights. I am using all of the included weights as I actually weighed my previous Logitech wired mouse with the weights I was used to and found that adding all of the weights that are included with this mouse make it the exact same weight as my previous wired mouse. I like the mouse to have some heft to it and adding all the weights gets me that. If you like a lighter mouse you can just leave the weights out or adjust them however you like. Another interesting default setting on the mouse is that there is a small button that your thumb can press which will reduce the mouse DPI to the lowest setting while you hold the button down. This is particularly nice if you are like me and use the mouse on the highest setting as you can always push down this button if you need to do any very precise movements such as hovering over a very thin edge of a window to resize it or make minute adjustments when doing image editing, etc. There are a few quirks which are a little annoying, but nothing that would make me want to stop using this mouse. First, the mouse has colored LEDs inside of it as per all the usual gaming devices of today. By default the colors constantly cycle. You can use the Logitech software to setup the light patterns and lights however you like, but if you arent using the software you are stuck with the default constant cycling. I even installed the software on my personal computer in the hope that any settings I made would be retained when I switched over to my work computer, but sadly the settings reset to the default after a short time if the mouse isnt connected to a computer with the software installed. So I just have to live with the color changing mouse... which isnt a big deal but I was hoping I might be able to get a little better battery life out of it if I turned off the lights. The other quirk is the battery life. I definitely cannot get a full week of work out of this mouse without recharging it. Using Bluetooth would give much longer battery life but its worth the trade off to me to have the reliable and fast connection using the Logitech wireless adapter. The mouse will show its current battery level via the DPI indicator lights when you first wake it up, and will flash a red light when it is getting low. It uses a braided USB cable for charging and also for connecting it to your computer in wired mode if you like. Ive actually just setup the cable to a regular USB charger so whenever the mouse gets low I simply plug in the cable and continue to use it in wireless mode while it charges just from the power source. I leave the cable wrapped around the bottom of my monitor so its easy to access if I happen to run out of battery power at a bad time, and the cable is long enough to basically just feel like Ive switched back to a wired mouse temporarily while its charging. Overall I think this is the best wireless high DPI mouse you can find, especially if you want one that has all the DPI adjustments right on the mouse itself and doesnt require software.

The first 5 months of having this, I would have given it a 5/5 review and say it was by far my favorite mouse. One day I was working and everything was just fine, I walked away and returned a few hours later to my scroll wheel not working anymore. Logitech support has been a nightmare to work with because you cant get a person to talk to on their chat. I contacted their chat, was told theyd email me, then they would ask what I did, but never respond past that. It was a waste of time and hope. A few days later I hopped onto my computer and my mouse was at 80% battery, after about 2 mins it dropped to 12%, I plugged it in and it jumped straight to 64% as if it was perfectly fine. The next day I had the same issue. I really enjoyed this mouse and recommended it to everyone at first, now I dont think I will which is unfortunate. A fantastic experience ruined by bad parts and terrible customer service. I did do some research on how to fix my scroll issue and apparently this has been a known issue for a while, why has Logitech not fixed this?

Exactly what my 16 year old wanted. He’s very happy

So the battery life isn’t the greatest but I charge this mouse about every 2 weeks

The Logitech g hub software is terrible, it takes a few seconds for the mouse to wake up and switch to the DPI settings it was set to, the only “fix” is by switching it to the on-board memory mode. This bug alone completely ruined my experience with this mouse. Also, it still uses usb micro b in 2022….. come on Logitech, you can do better. Update after about a week of usage: ******************************************************************************** Keep in mind I am comparing this mouse to my MX Master 3 So, its being evaluated as productivity and light gaming mouse ******************************************************************************** The good: decently comfortable for my large hand, good sensor and satisfying clicks. It is definitely 200% better at gaming than my mx master 3. The ergonomic is decent, not bad, however I much prefer the mx master 3. Charging time is decent, and battery life is not bad too. The bad (things that I dont like): the scroll wheel is terrible in comparison to the mx master 3, you have to manually switch between the ratcheting scroll and infinity scroll with a physical button, they shouldve used the adaptive infinity scroll wheel on the mx master 3. Also I sure miss the side scroll wheel and the thumb button on the side. Also no Bluetooth and the bug I mentioned previously is annoying. Overall, my conclusion is while g502 lightspeed is a great gaming mouse, mx master 3 is still a significantly better productivity mouse (duh, obviously). An mx master with the guts of a g502 lightspeed would be the perfect mouse for me, Id love to see a performance version of mx master in the future.

Ive tried 15+ different mice in the last few years. It would be a bigger number if I wanted to collect them, but I mainly just try to buy the best small to medium-ish ultralight mice in search of my endgame. Wont buy a mouse without seeing reviews first anymore. However, I did main the old wired G502 for a long time before I became a snob. I still like the G502 shape, scroll wheel, and button layout very much despite the fact that its not going to help me get high scores in aim trainers. The disadvantages caused by the weight and shape are somewhat, but not totally, made up for by the added functionality of the extra buttons, which are also fantastic for productivity. This is an overall solid product with only a few minor flaws that kept me from giving it a perfect score. The good: 1. Weight is noticeably reduced compared to the wired version. 2. The button layout every G502 fan fawns over is now on a wireless mouse. And its genuinely a great button layout. 3. Its wireless, obviously. 4. Top-tier sensor. 5. Excellent battery life. 6. Infinite scroll wheel go brrrrr The bad: 1. Standard black teflon mouse feet. Not the worst Ive seen, but Logitech does have a reputation for putting sh*tty feet on great mice. They at least improved this on the Superlight, but even those were still too thin. These arent bad, but they could be better. 2. Click feel is substantially worse compared to the old G502. Switches are clearly not the same. Honestly wouldve been tempted to give this mouse 5 stars if it werent for the clicks. They arent heavy and ultra tactile like they were before. Theyre light and standard-feeling now, which isnt a deal-breaker by any stretch, but its disappointing. 3. Price. You have to get this thing for less than $100 or it simply isnt worth it. Its a step up from the wired G502 but not to the point of it being worth 3 times as much. Even at a $95 sale price, thats still pushing it. Summary: youre sacrificing click feel and money to improve weight, obtain a nicer scroll wheel, and rid yourself of the atrocity that is the original G502 cable. Youre also getting great battery life and excellent, low-latency wireless tech. Its a good mouse, but its hard to say its worth triple the amount of its predecessor, especially if you can replace mouse cables. Do not pay more than $100 for this mouse.

Middle mouse wheel is very loud when locked which is the primary mode of use for most people, so thats annoying. Also it sits a little too high for me making it hard to transition from a left to a middle mouse click when gaming. Plus after a few months of use if I shake the mouse side to side on my desk the mouse wheel rattles on the side press switches but I probably got unlucky with that part. I dont really like Logitechs ghub app too much either and I think others share this opinion. Overall still an amazing mouse.

This is a great mouse for gaming, it’s very responsive and I have no complaints about its functionality. However, when I originally bought this mouse 3 months ago I only used it plugged in. I recently tried to use the wireless dongle and kept getting a USB malfunction error regardless of the computer I try it on, meaning I had no wireless capability. Turns out I had a defective wireless usb adapter right out of the box. After searching online it seemed I wasn’t going to have much luck with support from Logitech and it was too late to return it. Thankfully I was able to find a replacement receiver with next day shipping for $20 and use the Logitech app to pair it with my mouse

best mouse ive ever touched
