- Buy this instead: geni.us/bpLTA (aff). The Logitech G502 will go down in history along with the MX518 as being a legendary mouse. But is it because of the crippling hand related ailments it's going to cause in the future? Or is it a genuinely good mouse that deserves it's praise? What do you think, is the Logitech G502 still worth it? Let us know in the comments.

Stop disabling the dpi buttons, and instead use them for keys. The button layout is, imo, the reason this mouse is top tier.
W comment
For PC, I used them for copy&paste and while holding the sniper button(g shift) I use them for volume up and down and side click mouse wheel for previous and next song/video.
I also use them for gaming.
@@DaCom3AK lmao same it makes copy pasting a lot faster
I use the button next to left click for grenades or melee but the one below it is pretty unusable (cant comfortably reach it without shifting hand) so I don't use it.
Use them to adjust volume up and down, your welcome !
2022 fembro problems - the mouse is too heavy for my wrist muscles
I hate lightweight mouses, it's like a car I want to feel my movements into the smallest details..
I feel with a lightweight mouse I am not in contact with the game sort of speak.
@@Limburg92This guy in the video must be an absolute weakling complaining about moving something around that weighs 120 GRAMS, embarrassing!!!
yes it can be ... different pepple likes different things ... for me as cable mouse its heavy but it needs to be because of cable and if with battery its even heavier ... and I like heavy cable mouses or v light wireles mouses :)
you know what, people back in the days complain that a light mouse is bad, now they are complaining that a heavy mouse is bad, smh
@@SynApse01547 I stay put with the OG heavy mouses😅👍🏻

Before you buy this mouse, ask yourself; can you trust the judgement of someone who has that hideous hand tattoo?
Certainly not!
Why would it matter? It's just a mouse.
But, I disagree, buy the G502
The weight is pretty helpful for people with slightly shaky grip or similar issues. Lighter mice have been problematic for me in the past just because of how easily I could knock myself out of alignment for a shot. Otherwise solid review, the braided cable version is better.
So your problem then not the weight of the mouse
@@robertojustus8567 Yes, and it's not something I can fix about myself, so I use a heavier mouse to mitigate the issue, just like if have bad eyesight you use glasses.
Same here i usually find lighter mouse to be kinda weird to handle and the shaky feeling is relatable. This mouse feels right while playing games or even doing anything.
Same, just recently got this mouse and it improved my aim because of not only I can properly palm grip now, but also how heavier it is making my aim more stable compared to my previous mouse (G300s).
That is exactly why the weights are designed for. Example for me, after hitting the gym, my FPS accuracy drops a lot due to shaking. I install the weights then my shakiness goes away. The next day when I wake up, the mouse feels heavy, to which I then now pop out the additional weights. pretty convenient if u ask me.
Everything you've said about this mouse just sounds like a personal problem. The only issues i've had with my g502 were the mouse feet and the scroll wheel whipping left and right cause i use low sensitivity, each of those things i can just turn off/swap out. It's a mouse, it isn't that heavy lmao. The buttons are also reprogrammable so all those DPI buttons don't have to be DPI buttons. Cable has also never been an issue, your setup is probably just bad - i don't even use a cable bungee
"everything you said sounds like a personal problem. here is mine..."
@@FlamencoDeniz there's no such thing as an objectively good mouse unless you only compare the sensors. Every bad thing he's said about it are all personal issues lol. The point is that it just seems like the video is just full of meaningless complaints
@@TerribleGamesTV2 "there is no objectively good mouse that's why you should listen to my subjective opinion which is not as meaningless as someone else's..."
@@FlamencoDeniz i mean ur listening to his opinion and the purpose of the comment section is literally for this and hes not wrong too in the end it leads to the persons personal pref and in this video its just him talking about his personal complaints
Starting with personal hygiene.
I have a Logitech G502 and have never had a problem with the weight or the cable.
is it good for tracking and snapping?
@@NUMBER-pj4rf practically the best mouse of the world, just the only thing i dont like is the rubber cable and a little bit the weight
@@NUMBER-pj4rf yes, that is if your grip is palm grip.
I feel like this would've been the best mouse for me if it didn't have rubber on the right side. Does that annoy you at all (I've been considering this mouse for quite a while now not sure if I should get it over Glorious model I or viper mini which I haven't tested)
@@Marstio1 it does not annoyed me for the 2 years of me using the mouse, in my case i am using the protest spectrum
ahhh my little spaghetti arms can’t handle the 120 grams of the mouse

I totally disagree with everything you say…. This mouse is absolutely amazing in every game I play.

@@KILLER_X0 it is, I'm using the newer g502x wired and it fits my hand like a glove
@@KILLER_X0 Yes it’s still great!
Bought my g502 in 2016. Everything around it has been replaced but the g502 has never disappointed me
Same I am using the lightspeed 25k, My battery is finally going I am honestly thinking about keeping. I don't like the new G502 X Plus look. I had the infamous double click, and what did I do? I fixed it.
Big brain idea: workout only your right arm, 3 days a week. By the time a flagship mouse like this comes down to 60g, you'll be a man, who don't need it
But by that time my strength will have no boundaries and I'll live an existence where I can destroy anything with a wave of my hand.
@@DiamondLobbyReviews lets start by being able to move 1/10th of a kilo without trouble shall we
@@ppeez Hahahaha your revolver is smoking to this day from that one
I tried a razer viper ultimate for about a year, and besides it being too small for my hands, it was also too light. Once it killed itself in 6 months (thanks razor) I grabbed one of these.
It’s everything I want in a mouse, solid build, extra buttons but not so many that you can’t keep track of them, heavy so I can actually feel my mouse, and large enough where my hand isn’t just on the mousepad the whole time.
It may not be for everyone, but this trend towards lower weight is just that: a trend. In reality some people like heavier mice and some like lighter. I personally run mine with all the weights in so it’s about 140g, and I love it. It also keeps my from using my wrist for aim, which in my case is relevant since I have had carpal tunnel before and don’t want to risk it again.
The 502 is a great mouse, with its largest downside being it’s driver software. It doesn’t match the trend of gaming mice right now, but I’d rather see more options than everyone trying to make the same thing. Variety is good for the customer.
I hate Razer / non reliable products.
In terms of the button layouts, there really aren't any, if at all, modern mice that have similarly positioned buttons
I have the g502 wired and wireless and I mostly use the extra weights on my headphones my taping them to the side of the headband to balance out the weight since my headphone cable is quite heavy.
I use G502 and G305.
The G502 is a VERY good mouse for productive use and games that don't aren't focused on aiming skills. The extra butons are very useful for web browsing and productive work. On my mouse, the sideways scrollwheel clicks are the back and forward buttons. The thumb side buttons are copy, paste and enter. The side buttons of left click are undo and redo.
The G305 is used for fps games and for portability. It's a great mouse for laptops and it turns off after 5 minutes of inactivity. But it turns on immediately if you move it, so it's seamless. The stock battery lasted more than 3 months of exclusive use (only started using G502 recently) and you can easily squeeze out 1 month of battery life out of a AAA battery. The stock feet are a bit annoying, as they have a small surface area, and can sort of dig into the mouse pad, increasing the friction resistance. Using a fingertip grip has fixed this issue.
Overall, G502 is an extremely good mouse for productivity and games that aren't competitive fps's.
what mouse do you reccomend for fps like call of duty,im using the 502 heroe is work ok,today i just ordered the 502 x
I mainly prefer lighter mice, but when it comes to work + play nothing beats the 502 and 903
Weight is really a personal pref. Low weight mice is a more recent thing in the last 5 years or so and I've noticed that it came about the same time companies started to make quality soft mouse pads. However, soft pads usually have more friction than hard pads so I've always felt there was a correlation. I've always said a good low friction mouse pad negates any weight issues of a heavier mouse.
The extra buttons are the selling point for me. I use g7 and g8 (next to mouse 1) for discord controls, and the scroll wheel left is pause music, scroll wheel right is next song. the 3 side buttons i use just like on other mice, but tbh the "sniper button" is just more comfortable for me so I rebound it and also use it for games
I have no issues with the weight but the left mouse click was extremely glitchy only after a month. I tried updating but nothing worked. The problem tends to go away after awhile but eventually the “seizures” come back and get worse. Ill have to replace it at this rate.
I agree with all the points in this video except for the weight point. I have never understood how heavy mice cause problems, I like it when my movements feel deliberate under that slight weight rather than airy and floaty with no weight. Then again this is just my opinion, and it seems it’s not a common one lol.
The G502 is amazing in terms of ergonomics and longevity but it has some flaws like the awful cable, mouse feet or weight. All of it are now solved with the new G502 X which have a new flex cable, PTFE mouse feet and a weight of only 89g. It also have new switches and a improved shape for 80€.
logitech - longevity
pick one
@@PiterTraceurFA my logitech mice have lasted longer than any of my other mice
The most ridiculous complaints, at first it even seemed that you was trying to be funny. This mouse indeed have issues, but not those you mentioned.
just cant handle FACTS
@@DiamondLobbyReviews Well, no. Your opinion isn't facts. Your bias is clear, you don't like and that's fine really. But most of your points about it are just that, your biased opinion.
You can't name a real issue with it that's the only fact here.
(TIP: You would be somewhat right if you criticized the choice of switches here, as they're old/cheap versions of Omrons, like mx500/10/18/g400...)
Using the G402 from 2015, G502 from 2019 and G502X for a while, the primary charm is definitely the ergonomic layout of the mouse and its buttons. I'm not an 'ubermensch' playing and acing all FPS games. I play them casually where the limitations of my mouse is far exceeded by limitations of my skill.
The extra buttons are laid very thoughtfully and I can always bind and use them easily, unlike a MOBA focused mouse, like for example, corsair Scimitar Pro. The scimitar's buttons were unwieldy and a chore to accurately use, and has been a waste of money for me. G502 is therefore the best mouse to buy if you need extra buttons close by. The weight is welcome because I use a very high sensitivity and can reach any point in my screen with small-ish movements. Not ideal for FPS but that's not my thing anyway. The poor build of the wire bugs me but I've made my peace with it. Though I would be really happy if they changed that. But on a day to day basis, I never notice the wire, and have never felt annoyed at the nonexistence of a braided cable.
The only gripe I've had with the series of mice is that the gunk and grime accumulating in the crevices are a real issue, I wouldn't mind if they turned their 'transformer' aesthetic down for practicality. And I've had to replace the switches after a few years because they started doubleclicking. But G502X has optical switches which should alleviate the issue. Otherwise, great mouse so far, and definitely worth it.
So mate, by your opinion what you would suggest for a gamer to buy, I'm between those two..this one the Hero and the logitech mx master 3 but this one is wireless and it have some other features..do you know the model?
What you would suggest for a today's choice?
I agree i first loved this mouse then after 3 years it stared to double click the only thing I like is the weight I even put all the weights it gives you in the mouse
This is literally the best mouse i ever owned, as a warthunder air main having 11 buttons on it with very comfortable layout is just incredible, its also very very useful when editing cause you can just map so many settings to it
Yessir war thunder our hellscape of fun run by big snail.
the mouse that starts doubleclicking after a month and tripple clicking after two in half a years the digusting rubber starts to deteriorate and that when you don't give it to greasy gamurbois with lube who never wash their hands ever
I can attest to this. G502 buttons are extremely useful for binding fire control settings and aircraft engine controls
my only problem is a broken middle button in the mouse wheel, I always use it in AutoCad
i honestly love the mouse the problem is that because of the foam factor my pinky gets left out, and ends up rubing the mousepad, but ive got used to it, and the weight is fine, if anything i think there should be more programmable buttons since i use em alot XD
i just noticed my pinky rubs the mousepad to but i don't really mind
Looking at getting the lightspeed version of this, and the biggest factor for me is ergonomics. To me the g502 is a slightly lighter lower latency alternative to the MX master. Not the best productivity mouse, not the best gaming mouse but seems to be a nice middle ground.
The design definitely leaves a lot to be desired though
What mouse pad do you recommend? Any on Aliexpress?
Thanks for the title thought it was clickbait but when you talked about the weight I thought exactly what you showed with the brick hahaha nice job mate . All the best from the Netherlands
I used this mouse for about a year now and it has been the best mouse I have had over the past 30 years. It didn't survive a plunge into a glass of water but that was to be expected.
My dumbass thought you meant you had the mouse for 30 years 💀
@@decidev hahaha
@@TB0NEx Well, how was this mouse working in those Macintosh PCs back in the 90's?
dont let him find the basilisk
bruh 110 grams are too heavy for your wrist muscles?
Just for reference pros use ultra light mice under 60g so it doesn't mean they have weak muscles but it's the fact that lighter mouse is easier to control and use
I wrist curl half of the stack and I use a 58 gram mouse. A light mouse is just better 🤷♂️
I have a G402, very similar to the G502, from day one, never got any problem with it. If it gets dirty I just clean it, Imagine that... The cable is not a problem at all, I have a lot of space in front of the mouse, never got problems with the button placement and I play a lot of FPS, I don't think that 120g (G502) or 109g (G402) is that heavy for a mouse, the rock that you tape on it is heavier and even though you could still move it...
i bought it and after about a week the scroll wheel came loose and still works but is just looks and moves at any movement from the mouse making it unusable
Yes light mouse is good but if you prefer cable then it will be affected by it weight or other forces from it when its folded by your movement then it good to have heavy mouse... then If mouse use batteries then its not light anymore ... more batteries more weight more work time! Also good plastick weight a bit and if you want to make it lighter you need to or use slighty les plastic = it would not be strudy or/and use some structurizing to make structure light and durable at same time. This mouse for me is ok.
In term of roller - I bought it because of it ... why ? Im working with tons of code so scroling for me through like 1000 lines of code one hand is faster thant using keyboard combination to go to the line (maybe it wouldntbe if I would know which line I would go exactly) so at same time Im making sip of tea or juice or just scratching bottom :P. So I love its so super fast to scrol and at same time this lock mechanism to make it heh click - of course this mode could be littme more smotther but its ok'isch for my taste.
swift change of its programable speeds is v v v nice for gaming experience as well as working for me is nice.
Plastic is super nice in touch and not leaving musges after touch!
Then minuses for me from greatest to not so problematic:
1. Logitech app id influence some of my older programs like msiafterburner - I cannot open it anymore because of some visual C++ problem induced by logitech - but the list of problems with some application is greater - because I use old windows and older application because I do not like to be imposed windows 10 or 11 my freadom of use linux or whatever I want (win 11 taking control on what you can run on computer! WTF) so yeach - google it or check what win 11 brings to the table (or rather take) more than just subscriptions
1-2. after one year medicore extensive use my left button started to double click! - wtf its not premium as they told
2. its edges - it is just dust and skin and swet gatherer after 1 year of gaming I got hard time clearing all those gaps!!! - yeah its not bad but when I want to clear /wash mouse I want it to be clear - but of course some people may say eh whatever (its my prefrence)
3. to open this mouse and fix it you would need to remove stickers (so you want to buy new ones! wtf)
to conclude - its v nice mouse overall - it was super easy to use and not as expensive. If I would find mouse with mitigation of above mentioned problems with same pross even if litle more expensive I would bought different mouse) in fact there is one which is in of copy of this one - seems nice and those microsticks are of better endurance so yeah I wich change it especialy because of this intrusive problematic logitech apps - dont get me wron ... aplication is flawles and easy to use in ters of it user experience but not in terms of backward system / aplication compatibility. so if cons are something you would want to avoid especialy if my pross are not good enough for you then you would want to avoid this mouse iven if its a nice mouse.
I have this mouse, and I hate that I love it. Or well, the lightspeed version. My biggest gripe with it is the rubber sides that when they start to wear down end up making your thumb area a little sticky.
I have a wooden table and the cable frayed thats my only issue.. and the textured side is impossible to clean
as much as I love lightweight ones (currently using Aria XD7), G502 is still a solid mouse especially with its button layout
Just bought this mouse today. Love it! Good button layout, all reprogrammable. A little heavy. Responsive. Love the wheel. Most important, the right price. $35 bucks. Would have had to spend 2x as much for similar from any other brand.
Where'd you get that for 35$? Everywhere I've been at it costs 90$-130$.

it's a great mouse. I'm a pretty nervous shooter, I need slow sensitivity/dpi, and the weight is a plus for me. You can choose how fast to move your mouse. It's not like the weight of the mouse is hindering how fast you can move it, unless you're really weak lol. Mouse weight is the most overhyped attribute.
i literally just bought this mouse and the only thing that pisses me off is how the scroll wheel is like incremental. like when you move the wheel it moves the screen a certain distance up or down and theres no in between so you cant do fine scrolling. its like rolling an octagon or something. if somehow theres a solution to this someone for the love of god please let me know lol
did you not know the mouse wheel has two side buttons click? it clicks on the right side and left i map my binds for fortnite too those two buttons on the wheels . i got the braded cable the g502 hero but also i do know when gaming with the mouse i like the gpro wireless i dont have the super light it was sold out everywhere my main is the g pro wireless
I just bought one, it's awesome. I've had several too.. the razer naga..Death adder... steel series... red dragon... bloody v3 (Great mouse btw) and I will confess this is the best
The problem isn't the mouse or its weight, it's your grip. Palm grip requires you to move your wrist way more than fingertip grip where you just move the mouse under your hand by moving your fingers. It also extremely easy to make small movements that way.
The actual problem with the mouse is that the rubber grip for your thumb wears down after 3-4 years down to the bare plastic and the scroll wheel notches smooth down to a point where your finger slips over it.
This! I used logi M series with that rubber and it start to sink in aftet about 15 months
@@_MintArcade Are there any good mouse which doesnt have this problem? Or can you replace the rubber with something else? If this problem wouldn't exist you would never had to buy new mouse...
@@ecco512 just buy mouse without this rubber or use other brand.. as far as i know logi rubber mostly like that but im in a tropical environment
@@ecco512 You can buy grip tape and put it over the rubber bits so that you don't wear them down. Then you can switch out the grip tape every 5 months or so (or whenever it wears down). I did this after my g502 wore down. I just filled in the holes with some silicon filler and slapped some grips on. I've been using it this way for like 2 years now. I have a video about it on my channel if you are interested in seeing the process.
Ive been in love with this mouse for years. I use these buttons for every game for different things, when I played WoW i had abillites there. Given you have atleast 6 buttons if you dont count Dpi up and down buttons
I just want an ultralight version of the G502 Wireless, still the best feeling mouse I ever used for my hand shape and the thumbrest is amazing. I like many others moved to lightweight mice (Pro X Superlight) and I love the lightweight of it but at the same time, nothing has beat the G502 shape for me
I have the wireless version. I use all the buttons, it does feel too heavy and i find it takes quite a bit of pressure to press the left click fire button plus i do think it grips a bit too much but I really want the sniper button as i use it as my discord key. Plus i use the two keys above my thumb while in web browsers to go back and forth from the previous webpage. I use keys constantly. I'm wanting to buy a new mouse but finding it frustrating as the mice I'm interested in don't have the sniper key nor the two buttons above my thumb, only the most basic keys.
All of the drawbacks mentioned in this video are what I would condsider benefits.
The weight is what attracted me to it in the first place, the DPI is user selectable including the snipe button, the infinite scroll wheel is perfect for thrust control when flying in War Thunder and the new cable is better than the braided one as it gives less resistance on your desk.
Thank you! Help me decide. I choose between Razer Baselisk v3, Hero g502 and MX Master 3S. Which one is better to take? I need to work with Adobe, Cinema 4D, FL Studio applications but also sometimes play
do nto buy RAZER... i still love them cause everythign about them are winderful... but unfortunatelly the middle mouse button (scroll) click just dies in month... i had 2 Deathadder v2 and a basilisk v3 at the moment... im so sad but i just bought the hero g502 to replace it... the scroll click dies not registering properly... the net is full of it as well asking why
@@draznox Thank you, I bought hero g502. I've been using it for a little over a month. Works fine so far
Too much effort to move around? Stop using a sandpaper mouse pad and strengthen up your baby wrists. My 13 year old niece uses this mouse and loves how fast it is to move around compared to some others. I have an IT friend with 0 muscles and he insists on using it with all the weights in it.
I've been using it for years and love it and I'm not a Logitech fanboy. It's just a damn good mouse.
Not everyone has the same priorities as you. Not everyone is a competitive FPS player and needs an ultralight mouse with only the most basic features. The G502 isn't bad. It just isn't the mouse for you.
i actually don't like the ultralight mouses, when i shake the mouse shake like crazy too compared to heavier mouse where it is way more still.
He is stuck at that super light era mouse.
Plus 90% of the time i use this mouse for everything outside of gaming. I love all the buttons but i do wish it was lighter, the index finger click itself was much lighter and the mouse slid a little more easily but i recognises i do want a certain amount of grip to help with aiming.
you don't even need an ultra light weight mouse to be competitive. People just think they need one to be better but in reality they are just dogshit
I used this mouse exclusively for 4 years and came to just about all the same conclusions as you. Recently updated to a Pulsar X2H mini and have been loving how much easier it is to move around the mousepad. I have to imagine most of the people complaining in the comments are picking it up recently and haven't used other superlight mice, since it's fairly old by now it goes on sale for a low price pretty often these days. It's certainly not a bad mouse and will definitely get the job done, but there are other options that will likely be more useful to someone if they just spent a little more or did a little more research. My pulsar mouse was on sale for almost half off, and there were other models that were just about the same price as the G502 Hero.
How do I prevent the rubber sides from worning out
I just hit masters with the wireless version. I swap Off between this and a roccat pro air. I just like the feel of it but I also collect mice and jump between a lot of them regularly
Thanks for the video. Due to weight issues i changed my choice to x7 750
ive gotten the g502 x from the the first g502..... its all good but im suffering with lack of scroll wheel spins from the lack of weight in the scroll wheel
Im getting tired of this mouse too i do love it though. The dpi. Uttons up top are my volume up down and the sniper button is used for ult in ow2 or other abilities in games. Thats why i love it. I am ready to change though
Logitech have always made mice that fits my hand like a glove, and I gotta ways, when I first saw the original G502 (the Proteus Core) I wasn't sure if it was any good. First time I used it, it fit perfectly. Everything was awesome except for the feet. They peel off way too quickly and start to catch your mousepad. I had to buy new feet (Hotline Games F4 Silver) and they are 5000 times better. They glide way better and doesn't bend and stick to the pad. The coating also come off really quickly. Other than that though, it's a solid mouse. With flaws.
Cool what other brands (besides Logitech and Razer) that are wireless have the infinite scroll/freespin/Hyperscroll wheel mode as great at the Razer Basilisk V3 Pro and Logitech G502 X Plus? Thank you.
God bless.
the mouse first came out in 2014 under the name Proteous Core G502. My dad got me that mouse for my birthday that year. ive used every version of that mouse up to the g502 Lightspeed. i wouldnt trust the X but maybe the X Plus. i feel like they tried pulling a fast one with that one. ive used this mouse for mostly FPS and singleplayer games and I cannot see myself using any other mouse. I also love the weight of the mouse and i have the OG Proteous still so i could compare the first gen to the newest one and it still works wonderfully
I cant use those light mice... they feel like I might accidentally throw it across the room when I do a flick... and their price tag doesnt help either, like im not paying more for less mouse.
This is my mouse. I bought it on a whim because I needed a mouse. I'm actually just getting back into PC gaming, life hit me upside the head hard and I had no time for gaming from 2012 to 2018. My last two mice before this one were a Razer Deathadder (2010) and a Logitech G9 (the original rusty looking one 2006?). Shows what an old man I am.
What I think about the 502 ? It's alright, I guess. I actually like the weight, I have always preferred heavier mice with a high sensitivity, I just wish the side buttons were a bit better as I enjoy binding something like grenades/throwables to those buttons for easy access. I am at least glad the settings can be saved to the mouse so I dont have to have the awful software running full time.
If I had to rate it... 7.5/10. Watching your reviews I am actually wondering if I would like a light mouse. Been using heavier mice all my life and it's what I know.
I've owned this mouse since 2018 (the HERO version) and I've went to clean it but it didn't need cleaning at all
Got the G502 After using cheap mouse for years and light ones. Had some strange feeling for the First One or two days... Now i want to buy another One for my home PC aswell.
It's got an optical scroll wheel. I have 10+ mice with jumping scroll wheels. Even my latest razer viper v2 pro has a jumping scroll wheel encoder. My G502 with its optical encoder still works even after 5 years.
I've been using it for 8 years now. What I like, the shape, placement and number of buttons, hefty scroll wheel, easy software, infinite scroll wheel and left and right buttons on it. What I dislike, flaky rubber, the crevices between the side buttons (it's a grime magnet), coating on the scroll wheel has worn off, teflon pads are too small and weird shape and also collect grime between the crevices, ideally the mouse bottom should be one big chunk of teflon. If I could make a custom version I'd remove the rubber completely and have a smooth surface instead of that triangle pattern, have machined stainless steel scroll wheel, improve the side buttons. Other than that it's a perfect mouse.
so what if it's heavy????
I love that scroll wheel to bits! I am a hardcore blender user, you have no idea how many mouse I broke just cus the mmb .
is the baseliks v3 pro the best ergo gaming mouse?
Bought mine back in 2020 when it still had the thin braided cable and I've used it as my main mouse ever since. I prefer the heavier weight since lightweight mice make me feel like it's going to slip out of my hand and go flying across the room, and I've never been a fan of wireless since I have to constantly worry about signal drops or battery life. I'd still highly recommend the G502 Hero to everyone just because it's held up for so long, no cable issues, weight is a preference, the extra buttons especially for sensitivity are great when I'm switching between games like csgo and league where I like different speeds, the unlockable scroll wheel makes scanning through longer documents incredibly helpful, overall just a really solid and well built mouse. Other comparable options from Corsair are like, $50 more and anyone who uses razer must like buying a new mouse every year because their quality is just awful. I've been trying to find another mouse with equal features that is wired and it's not even close, corsair has the M56 which is shorter (since I've got long-ish hands, I like the size of the 502) , there really isn't anything I've found better. I just wish they kept the braided cable..
@TheOtherNamesWereTaken123 I've since upgraded to the G502X (same mouse base but wireless and lighter) but the 502 Hero should be fine. If he's been using a different mouse it might take a little getting used to but it shouldn't be a problem at all.
i bought this mouse because of the weight. but im sick strong af
I like a heavier mouse. I like the button layout (extra two by the left click and 3 thumb button). My problem with the G502 line is the Logitech software is a pain to use, and it's "ability" to swap games to different mouse layouts doesn't always work or sometimes turns off mid game. Plus some reason each update to the Logitech software it seems they keep making it harder to use.
I've been using a G502 for years and the weight never bothered me that much. I initially bought it because I thought I would like the extra buttons but in actuality I never use them. I am going to replace it though since the rubber is now warped and the scroll wheel is corroded from years of use. Think I'm gonna go back to the good ol' Razer Deathadder since I had a Deathadder 2013 and that was a good mouse.
You can use extra buttons to browse the web...Never buy Razer. Breaks too easy.
Damn, all of those button are useful to me especially on games.
its not alll about relfex fps games, this style of mouse on the 502/the razer one/nightsword is extremely comfortable and useful. too bad weight is bad for reflex shooters
to me, it sounds like you got no strength in your arms if you think this mouse is like throwing a brick around
that mouse is really good for fortnite building. Mine has lasted for over 6 years and the only reason I am replacing it is because i threw it while tilted and broke the middle click
I honestly love the weight on gaming mouse, i hate the feeling of a light mouse, Then again i am a car mechanic so i got some arm strength.
Finaly, a man of my own taste. We have the same job and the weight of the mouse with the extra ones is not a problem.
A lot of people don’t recomend it for fps games like csgo, valorant… but for me works great when it comes to flick shots and stuff like this. Have great day mate.
Be glad you didnt have any problems with the switches(clicks). I just rekt mine and ordered a new one. Both click were faulty.
It’s me. I’m the reason. I started the whole “g502 master race” thing. I’m sorry.
I like this mouse too would love a 80gr version on 2000hz polling
I like this mouse the only problem I have with it is its not heavy enough
i have a modded g502 with a lightweight mod that weighs 92 grams, i use the buttons to switch weapons/use abilities and looting and i use 3 fingers to use scroll wheel jump and i am a very good player
you are true... u forgot to mention that the switch quality is like from 2005. The statical issue on left and right mouse button click i have it now again. g502 is broken again....
I think it's worth remembering that people mainly playing competetive first person shooters comprise only a small fraction of gamers, the number of those players who are actively chasing high scores is even smaller. And for everything else the weight isn't an issue. But I definitely do have my issues with it, mainly related to build quality. Especially the super cheap feeling plastic or the terrible rubber sides that you can feel disintegrate beneath your fingers after a few months. Both of which turned out to be only marginally better my 502x compared to the older variants but at least they fixed the double clicking. Seriously would it murder them to ditch the stupid rubber sides and use a different finish like for example the one on the G Pro superlight, G703, G603, G305 or pretty much any other mouse they make? Really don't get why they insist on putting their worst coating on their flagship mainstream mouse.
The button placements are fantastic and misclicks really aren't an issue when you're maining it and are used to it.
Detach the lump of concrete from the mouse . . . it improves performance.
How old is your G502? Mine is a couple years old and it has a nice, thin braided cable that's about as cumbersome as dragging a shoelace around a smooth surface. Dunno why yours has that crappy rubber cable.
I have the first version which is like a rope for boats. The rubber version is the newest version I believe, I got it a few months ago
@@DiamondLobbyReviews That's lame, my cable glides across the back corner of my desk whether I pull or or allow it to fall. It's super flexible and a very tight weave on the outer fabric, and even looks thinner than the one on yours.
When I ultimately replace my g502, I would return it immediately if it had a rubber cable.
Even these days my 502 Lightspeed is one of my favo. And i have most "light/nice" gaming mouses. But did use the "old" 502 back in the days so use to it, and don´t do a better job with few g lighter. :)
A heavy mouse is not a problem but rather a bonus as its far easier to control if using higher DPI settings. But if you are using a sensitivity setting that would make an old IBM ball mouse get a superiority complex and constantly need to lift your mouse off the table then yes weight matters.
i was using this mouse for like 7 years because im a cheap arse and like to work with what i got, just today got the superlight pro 2 and my wrists feel like theyre finally recovering from surgery :D
Have g502 hero myself for 5 years, and completely agree with all points.
Especially weight, I have my right biceps bigger than left hand despite im training every day with 20kg both hands equal, only 120g makes such huge difference. Just imagine a guy who using two 502 in both hands he doesn't even need to go GYM!
I’ve used my g502 until all the pads have been worn down to nearly pure plastic with all the weights in it I hate light mouse
Xlite V2 Mini review when??
Watching the vid, laughing over it, 5 mins later;.... Proceeds to click order now and eagerly wait
Re 1:35
It was actually released in December 2013 :) I know this because college aged me decided it was THE mouse to play competitive CSGO in and got it first day at a BestBuy. I was laughed at by another team at a regional LAN event :(
Change the DPI up button to melee in all fps games like I do!
Before watching the video, I just gotta say that this mouse is the best mouse I have personally used. I can only say that it's a bit heavier even without the weights but that was only a slight problem at the start and when I adjusted to it from my old mouse I can safely say this is simply the most comfortable mouse I have used.
A real problem for me, though, is the cable. The non braded version I have is very weak, but as far as I know, replacing it is a lot rasier as it doesn't involve soldering.
The wireless 502X is absoulutely brilliant with the same polling rate and the same latency as the wired version, the best thing is zero wire drag.
@greevous Completely agree, but sadly, the jump in price is pretty significant, at least where I live.
