I really like this mouse. I added all the included weights and it gives the mouse a very solid feel.It’s comfortable and well designed.I hooked up to my existing Logitech Gaming Software and replaced my old mouse importing the custom profiles perfectly.All I needed to do was adjust the DPI to my liking.But I also purchased a new keyboard and had to install the G Hub software because the the Gaming Software was just too old and didn’t support the new kb. The G Hub wares replaces the old Gaming Software and this is where the problems started. The G Hub software is horrible.Seriously, just do a quick Google search and you’ll see a LOT of complaints about it.It took all day to figure it out and create new profiles and make it recognize games. No help could be found on the Logitech site and Google offered little help.Eventually I was able to make everything work as I wanted but it was a frustrating day.Final comment, this mouse is great and I recommend it. But the G Hub software should be avoided if you can.If you do not already own Logitech gear, look elsewhere.

First off, 11 programmable buttons + Gshift. If you dont know what Gshift is, its like rolling your hotkeys in MMORPGS. This pairs great with games that demand more marcos with games like BDO, SCUM, and all the other titles that have a bit more commands. I couldn’t do this with my Corsair Glaive Pro and tbh, spending $60 then compared to this made me regret everything. The program that comes with this mouse is foreign at first, but in the end, gets simple to use. I have both the Ique (Corsiar keyboard) paired with this mouse and both run great with each other. This app like the ique (program for corsair), can both pair games to profile, so as you launch the game, it switches to that specific profile without you having to change the macros all the time.I personally dont like the looks, but the utility of this mouse, makes me love the heck out of this. If you are looking for the best under $50 gaming mouse, this has to the the top pick in my opinion. Do yourself a favor when you bu this mouse – learn it, and learn about all the different things you can do it with. Trust me its worth knowing the hundreds of different configs and things you can do with this mouse and the program together.

i play alot of many types of games which makes me need as many buttons as possible on my mouse. i had the g502 and then when i i saw an upgrade, as any serious gamer, i had to have” the best”. the laser and accuracy is the best ive touched ever.BUT!!!!! they need to add this laser to the g600 mmo mouse and /or arrange the button layout a little bit better for short finger . i frequently hit extra buttons on the mouse and the thumb button makes me hold the entire mouse in a uncomfortable way.in summation if you are hard core about fps’s this is the mouse you need, want and have to have. if you are all about warcraft or whatever other mmo is out right now, not so much…..

I’d heard people preaching how good the G502 was for quite awhile, but I was hesitant to try it. Maybe it’s the aesthetic or the fact that I usually prefer mice with more buttons (I play a lot of MMOs) but I tried a lot of alternatives before I finally decided to give in an try the G502, but boy do I wish I had just done so sooner. After having used the Logitech G Pro mouse for the last year, I decided I was ready to try something different. Don’t get me wrong, the Pro is a great mouse, but it’s very lightweight which I didn’t find terribly comfortable to use (it makes sense in the Pro gamer context, though, so I get it.) The G502 is perfect. It’s hefty, and you can customize it using the weights. The button placement is nearly perfect (I find the thumb button a tad hard to reach for my hands) and, like the Pro, the Hero engine is incredibly accurate and satisfying to use. I’ve ended up using it as my all day mouse, even for work, as it’s just so pleasant in the hand. If you’re looking for a great mouse at a very reasonable price point, give the G502 a try. (There’s also a wireless version available now, but it’s considerably more expensive at time of writing.)

I am writing this after having the mouse a day and a half, so things may change. So far this mouse is working great for me both in Linux and Windows as I am using it through a KVM. My previous older gaming mouse had a few different limitations that really stuck out once I went up to higher resolution and could more consistently hold higher frame rates. Basically at the higher display capabilities my old mouse movements looks rather stuttery and jerky. This mouse has solved this with some rather quick and easy tuning. So for a run down on how this has improved over an older generation gaming mouse is:1. Turned down mouse sensitivity in Windows, Linux, and in games. At the same time turned up DPI resolution on the mouse. The main thing you are really after is turning off “mouse acceleration”. The difference in smoothness is night and day. I simply did not have the mouse resolution and responsiveness before, at least for first person shooters. With this mouse and a few quick tweaks I do.2. Can run this mouse on smoother, very low static friction free surfaces. My older gaming mouse just did not have the sensor for this, so it would stick on the mouse pad a little and then the movement would be a little jerky as it transitioned to kinetic friction. This mouse can do it, so problem solved.3. This mouse allows balancing with weights. I guesstimated where I thought I needed the weights and so far it is working out pretty nice. The previous gaming mouse had a wireless option with a battery in the back and especially with my big hands not making much contact with the back of the mouse, this would cause things to shift around and not track quite right.For my recommendations to get the most out of Linux is to:1. Setup under Windows. The mouse has a memory, so once it is setup under Windows, it is setup everywhere in terms of DPI settings and polling rate.2. In Linux (I am doing this under Ubuntu 18.04, but should work with any distro) first order of business is to disable acceleration. Create the file: /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-mouse-acceleration.confand enter in the following:Section “InputClass” Identifier “My Mouse” Driver “libinput” MatchIsPointer “yes” Option “AccelProfile” “flat” Option “AccelSpeed” “0”EndSection3. Restart your X server by logging out and back in.4. Make mouse adjustments such as sensitivity levels in X windows and in games and enjoy! The main games to benefit from this are FPS (first person shooter) games. Other games any old mouse will do, but it wasn’t those games that pushed you to get this mouse, right?As a summary, even within a few hours of having this mouse I am finding that I am not getting nauseous as much with FPS gaming, movement looks a lot smoother, and I am quickly getting in a lot more shots and especially a lot more sniping head shots. Even in a window manager doing things like grabbing the edge of a window to move it around is a lot easier now.While some may debate whether this mouse is as good as another mouse currently on the market, at least going from an older generation gaming mouse to this one is a big improvement. I suppose my only qualm so far is I fired up the utility in Windows to configure it where Linux is my primary OS. Also while some people say DPI does not matter, it seems like it helps when you turn off mouse acceleration and then use higher DPI resolutions to compensate along with a good polling rate. I would consider the result from this mouse once finding the right settings to be “perfect tracking”.

This review is for the Hero version of G502. I have stopped using Logitech mice since they discontinued G9. I have been using Roccat Kone XTD since then that died after serving me for over 5 years. After reading reviews about G502 I decided to give it a try as I really liked the overall design and feel , it reminded me of G9.So when I learned they are refreshing the 502 with a new sensor I was skeptical to pay $30 more for the new one. Now that I used it I am glad I did. The refreshed model has a really thick and flexible cord that was apparently a major weakness in the original 502. Couple that with a really awesome sensor that is super accurate and sensitive to slightest movements and tracks on any surface (seriously I tried everything from a white paper to the palm of my hand) and you have a potential winner. However, the best part of this mouse is not that or the the materials that they used which also feels really nice and durable.While subjective and relevant to how big or small your hands are for me the way the mouse sits in my hand and how easy it is to access the buttons are the best indicators . The buttons themselves feel very satisfying to press thanks to the spring loaded mechanism. Last but not least is the scroll wheel. This… this scrollwheel I can probably write a whole paragraph on how good it is… Not only does it have the infinite mode that rolls beautifully but also its made from METAL. Its a nice chunk of metal that is just better than a plastic one in every way. I dont think I can go back to plastic mouse-wheels after using my G502. You might never use the 16000DPI sensor but if you used G502 and similar mice in the past and are due for an upgrade the refresh 502 is totally worth the money Logitech is asking for.

I’m no 187329871 IQ pro gamer it’s got enough buttons for me. The button location are solid enough for me to be satisfied the only issue I have with this mouse is that the scroll wheel now spins freely and is one hell of a headache playing most fps games as the wheel usually switches weapons in most games.So for example you run out of ammo in game and want to switch to your secondary.. well you’ll switch to it but switch right back about 3 times. Kind of a deal breaker for clutch moment gaming.***edit***Turns out i’m an idiot. There’s a button that locks and unlocks the scroll wheel..LMAO sooo yeah no this mouse is great i’m just not smart enough to properly utilize it.

You can easily and quickly switch between the pre-programmed sensitivity or adjust your own sensitivity presets. You can adjust the weight to your preference and it fits nicely in your hand. Light effects are cool and you can customize the logo if you download the free Logitech software…Now for the dislikes, and there are many.The mouse does not increase my skill at videogames, I’m just able to get to where I’m going to die faster because I have better control.This mouse does not help with my Call of Duty trash talk. Kids named Kyle still call me out as a middle-aged gamer and know exactly how cool I’m not. But Kyle, if you are reading this, my mouse is better! Maybe your mom can order one for you after I drop her off after our date!

I’ve had my Logitech G500 for so long, I can’t even remember using another mouse unless I was at one of those *shudder* shared workstations. But, like all good things, electronics must come to an end. I chose the G502 Hero to replace my beloved G500 and am rather happy with this little guy. I’m not a gamer, I use this mouse for work mostly doing data analysis and TSQL, so my wants & needs are quite a bit different than most.Pros:- Since the weights are customizable, I still get to have the nice heavy mouse I’ve always loved.- Granular DPI adjustments let me set up the speed just how I like it and lets me pick and choose just the right places for the 9,485 screenshots I need to take daily to show people why they’re wrong.- All buttons are able to be unassigned, so if you’re not a gamer and you’re worried about hitting the wrong thing, don’t, it’s not a big deal.- The lighting is totally customizable, so if you don’t want to see cool glowing lights on your mouse, don’t. If you think it’s cool, have fun.- Still ergonomic as ever. I use mine with an old IMAK ergoBeads wrist pad and no pain.- The cord is REALLY LONG, so if your main desktop/laptop/docking device is far away, it’s not a problem.Cons:- I prefer to have a clicking scroll wheel (you can also choose to have the scroll wheel free-scroll with the push of a button). It’s kind of loud. Not loud enough to bother anyone while I’m scrolling on a conference call, but louder than the G500.- The bottom part to get to the weights is a little difficult to remove. Once it’s set though, you don’t need to worry about it anymore.May this mouse give as many years as it’s predecessor.

Let me start by saying i’ve been through almost every mouse trying to find the one. I needed one that was heavy, thick, had lots of buttons and was solid. Corsair has constantly let me down with going through over 9 mice in just under three years between two people on several rigs. Razer is usually overpriced and doesn’t feel that great. Logitech comes in clutch.This thing is built like a tank. It’s heavy. It’s solid. It has tons of program options, and the software is a joy to work with. The RGB LEDs are fully programable. The cable feels pretty solid. It’s accurate. The control of the mouse is great. Three clickers is the new norm. Getting used to it takes about two to three days, but when you do, its like wow, why didn’t we normalize this sooner.I play league and wow, genshin impact, stardew valley, and almost any survival horror game that comes out. Works great for everything. As well I use this in my recording studio as my macro mighty mouse. Keybinding things on the go for quick and easy access. Again, works great. 10/10This is far superiors to any other mmo mouse out IMO.My only gripe is because its so big, and if you have little hands, you might get some wrist, hand cramps. If I game for 10+ hours it really starts to become an issue. So take that for what you will. This isn’t just the logitech, all big mice do it. Just know that its fat and thiccc, and feels amazing. Just too much of an amazing thing can sometimes get to be a bother.
