#G502X #G502XPlus #Review
For everyone who has commented on my fingernails, I hear you guys loud and clear lmao and it has been addressed. But anyway, What do you think of these new mice? Will you be picking one of them up?
Got one yesterday - a nice mouse overall but the switches have a very pingy sound.
I loved the G9x, the G502 caused my hand to cramp. No more logitech for me, that shape is way too steep. Viper Ultimate all the way.
I will keep my Corsair Nightsword RGB.
I absolutely love my wired G502. I will buy a G502 X wired if I find a legitimate improvement or if I simply need another mouse.
g402 hyperion fury....n1...if only it was wireless
How dare you make me want a new mouse 😂
Hehe I can't help that I'm a good salesman! Also I just genuinely love these mice a lot.
The way you superimposed your hand on the mouse is a genius way to fully see how the mouse fits with your hand. Top production quality!
hahaha thank you!
I was thinking the exact same thing! So smart
You are the only reviewer I've watched on youtube that mentioned about the issue caused by making the center bridge flush. It was an issue I had to adjust for as well. Truely appreciate your review. Thank you.
Thank you! I also agree, it was something I saw no one else mention either. Sometimes no matter how small something might be it's still going to come up for some. I try to take note of every little thing when I review something.
Holy shit! Just realised how many subs this channel has. I don't think I've ever seen such decent production quality from a channel with so few subs. Starting out strong.
Omg! You are too kind thank you! Yeah I've been doing content creation for a few years but this channel is finally on the go so Im bringing the eat from the start! haha
@@Techtacula Start as you mean to go on. Nice work man.
I love everything about it this mouse since I had the original 502 a long time ago but ever since I moved on to the superlight I can never use a heavier mouse ever again.
Really appreciate the amount of work put into this review. Amazing.
Appreciate that a lot! Was quite proud of this video :D
I was genuinely surprised when you said you didn’t have 300 subs. This video is on par with the best tech review channels. I’m glad to see how far you’ve come in a year
This is one of the nicest and most encouraging comments I have ever received. It truly means a lot to read this, thank you so much! D:
Got mine when it released and I love it. I use it with the Powerplay pad too.
i love the g502. in my opinion it is by far the best mouse. logitech is going to be stuck making it for a very long time. and in the event they drop production for whatever reason i have many more in boxes as backups lol
Quality video and great break down. No brainer to sub to see more. Keep it up!
Coming from the stream room podcast! Loved the video! Very well put together and informative
Thank you so much! Appreciate you coming over Luca!
A a proud new owner of 2 white wireless ones, I can already confirm it's my favorite mouse I've had. It's replacing my g900 and my finances basilisk. Our only issue is lightning, it'll constantly revert back to whatever the out-of-box light setting is
Nice! Hmm, if you have Ghub it shouldnt be reverting. Are you confusing the mouse using default start up lighting before ghub loads on your computers? There is an inactivity light setting that it goes to when the mouse isnt being used but you can change that.
ghub is buggy, it keeps crashing sometimes for no reason
@@kruxi_cro same problem with ghub
@@kruxi_cro yepp, booting up a game causes it to shut down too
Man, I absolutely love the detail and breadth of that review for a mouse, it's really, really cool! Subscribed ;-) Also I must say I've been a fan of Logitech's 500-series for a long time (I had two MX500's before getting a G502 in the 2010's), and I've rarely if ever wanted to buy a new one because of new features --- the shape, the general design is just good enough for me. I gamed on MX500's and then on 502's regardless of their version. I owned so many FPS with that mouse, lol. I'm actually happy with my O.G. Proteus G502 right now, for what little gaming I do (and I tend to revert to my office/programmer MX Master in slow games where speed isn't a concern). But I'll definitely buy the X Plus when I replace my 502 : )
yeah I totally feel that. Hence why I used a G502 for so long as well. MX Master 3 is my editing mouse while the 502 handled everything else. I have enter and delete bound to the G7 and G8 buttons and man the amount you can do without moving your hands as much increases so much XD But yeah you will be incredibly happy with the upgrade.
hey there, how does the shape of the MX500 compare to the G502? been thinking about moving to a G502 for ages but used to the G500 shape, which is very similar to the MX500.
What an awesome high quality video. I was so impressed I subscribed
dang bro you new more subs for how good you are keep up the good work :)
Thank you so much! After years of consuming tech videos, I've made sure to pick up a thing or to XD
Honestly, I got a g pro x superlight about 5 months ago- and I can't go back to a heavy mouse again. Like I absolutely love it, and feel my accuracy has been much more consistent with the lighter mouse. I have the g502 hero, then I went to the glorious model o wireless, then went to the superlight. I gave my mum the g502 just for a comfortable mouse for browsing the Internet etc, and my god everytime I use it I'm like holy crap this is heavy as hell!
Same, I'm spoiled by the superlight. I would like a mouse with more buttons but now because of the superlight, weight is the biggest determining factor for me
Same. I can't use anything else for gaming anymore. I use a g604 for regular day to day stuff though for the buttons.
To bad it does not have free scroll wheel g pro :(
The G502 X and X plus do have the free scroll wheel :)
Yeah totally understandable. I feel the difference too when I bring out the super light for any FPS game haha. End of the day it always comes down to preference
I bought the G502 X Plus a couple of months ago. With the LED lights off the battery life is about 2 weeks on a single charge. It's crazy.
My only problem is the RGB turns on when just sitting alone. I would have got the non RGB one but best buy didnt have any and to get one shipped would have taken 3 weeks so RBG it was. lol
@@guyknightley3499 You can toggle it in the GHUB if youre still having issues
You know what makes it even better I bought a brand new one for $70 I took the wrapping off myself and yes it was the x plus wireless white version
One thing to keep in mind... at around 40% battery life my scroll wheel became "inactive" to input. I though I broke it or it finally went bad. I ended up charging it to 60% and the scroll wheel went back to normal... Very odd. Either way, I've been using this for a few months. I'd rather get the wireless Shroud 303, but I like the options of buttons so this seems to be the only mouse that fills my current needs. I've got the 305 and the wired 303 and prefer the shape of those for claw grip, but they lack buttons. I like me some buttons.
Buttons just open up a lot of options 100% Shrouds 303 is a great mouse in its own right absolutely. Although the issue with your scroll wheel and battery. sounds really weird. Maybe give ghub a reinstall and if it still persists reach out to support?
Just ordered mine. thanks for the review mate.
No worries! Glad it could help :D
I remember when you were mentioning this video during the Stream Room podcast, at the time my G604 was working great, though now it's having the double click issue. Really glad you mentioned this new G502 has different click switches and won't have the same issue. I'll keep the G502 X Lightspeed Wireless in mind as a possibility for my new mouse. (I overthink and spend so much time researching, not sure if I'll pick this up just yet) Though, I do wonder if they would re-release the older mouse models with the new optical-mechanical switches.
Aw thanks for coming over to check it out Sport! Yeah due to how opti-mechanical switches work, you will only get possible double clicking if A. You are unfortunate enough to get a faulty unit which is uncommon but it happens and you just get a replacement, or B. You've had the mouse for 6/7+ years and the switches are getting close to the end of their rated life haha. As for other older models being refreshed, quite possibly! There are only 2 mice that they would give this treatment for. The G604 and possibly the G903 since that one was a true ambidextrous mouse. Some love for the left handers out there haha.
it still has the double click issues can confirm it trowed the mouse away after few weeks xD and its not uncommen many people still having that issue reddit is full of them xD
Thanks for the amazing review! Will defo be looking to buy the G502 X :D
Glad I could help!
I like my new G502 X plus, it's super light and charges back up super fast with usb-c. But, after two weeks the rubber thumb rests started to show some wear and tear. It's a good mouse, just for 150+ you'd think it'd last a bit more.
"super light" 😭
@@qkyvanilla its very light for its size, some people prefer the bulkier mouses with more features compared to cheap feeling small lightweight mouse.
wait till you get the famout double click problem xD
@@bionic3500 They have a warranty + Watch a yt video and you can fix the issue
@@bionic3500with the optical switches that shouldn't happen, but we'll see...
Just got my lightspeed cause I loved the HERO so much. Might pick this up in the future when it needs a replacement.
Perfect time for me to upgrade considering my G502 decided it didn't want to click and drag anymore. Those mechanical switches were begging to be made more reliable. Glad to see they are addressing that problem with the new hybrid switches.
I have a collection of the 502s. I now have the white cabled model. I love it.
Just found this video and I bought a G502 Hero about the same time this video came out and I got an amazing deal!! I found one at my local Wal-Mart here in DFW Texas for only $29.99!
You deserve way more subscribers than you have. I love the B-Roll and everything! Your channel is absolutely amazing! :)
That is so kind! Thank you so much!
gpro superlight is my go to for gaming. Can't beat it. For regular use i still use my g604 which in my opinion is better than the g502 for the buttons and it's basically the same ergonomics as the g502
I would LOVE for Logitech to reboot the G604 with the same treatment of the G502 X & X Plus
You've earned a new sub! All my tech is currently dead or dying so I'm really looking for people who know what they're talking about so that I can remain informed of what's going on in the tech world. That way, once I can afford it, I'll be able to get exactly what I want and need. Since you did a fairly good job convincing me to get this mouse even though I'm not really a serious gamer, I might have made a mistake here but we'll see how this goes, lol. 😅👍
hahaha thanks for the kind words! Yeah I do my best to give everyone all the information they need to be informed on whether something is for them. So defs comment ideas or the types of things you would love to see covered in videos and Ill make sure to try and address them!
been using g502 mice since the proteus core was released, they have great support so while i have owned 3 of them i have only bought 2. an extension on the "sniper" button sounds great, i can't reach it at all so it just doesn't get used. i literally have weights in my mouse from an older mouse (including the weights that came with the mouse) because i like having a heavy mouse. but with the g502 hero maybe i am missing something, but i miss saving profiles onto the mouse. my proteus core and proteus spectrum both saved the profile to the mouse itself, but my g502 hero doesn't seem to.
It does. At least my Hero does keep the saves onto the mouse itself.
You gotta enable on board memory in ghub or logitech gaming software
Seems good mouse but I cannot move away from "mmo" mouses however Razer made the removable/changeable side panel which is absolutely perfect for me. using 6 button panel for FPS games and 12 button for MMO games and 3D-modelling etc. Definetly will try logitech mouses again if they ever make something like that and wireless.
So this video popped up on my recommended without even searching previously for mice. I still have the original G502 that you could get for like 20$ before inflation so I thought to myself “why not.”. I really enjoy the g502 mice, even though I still use a controller for gaming, but these mice have always looked and felt great. I got to the end of the video and was about to click off when I heard you mention you wanted to hit 300 subscribers by the end of the year. This statement had me very confused and I was certain I had misheard what you said, so I stopped scrolling and clicked back on the video (mobile) to see if I heard correctly. To my disbelief , you do have less than 500 subs. You delivered some very high quality videos and as a CC myself in that 300-400 subscriber range, I noticed the hard work you’ve put into this video. Let’s get you to 1k subs, starting with this one from me!
Nice review, I have been using Logitech gaming mice since the Dual Optical back in 2001 (I still have it but the rubber grips have gone all gooey...) lol. I have 2 different G5 mice (the og and the 2nd version with 2 thumb buttons), a G500, and a G502 Proteus that I'm currently using. I've tried friends' various Razer mice over the years, but the shape of the logitech G series stuff just seems to feel more comfortable to me, plus I am so spoiled by the Hyperscroll wheel that I don't think I can go back. I might grab one of the new designs after watching this, and yeah I also wondered if there is anyone out there that added more weight to the G502 😂???
I have added all weight
I like these mouses that have a lower thumb "Sniper" button, I use those thumb buttons heavily. The thumb button is actually the main point that makes me want to buy them, because I bind the thumb button to crouch which is used a lot in shooter games. The thing is, no one else really uses it as much as I do, so the reviews don't mention if there's any troubles with them. I switched from a G402 to a Razer Basilisk V3 and I was happy at first but the thumb button became loose. And with this new G502 having a removable adjustable button thingy, I question the durability of it. But if it ever became cheaper, I'd probably try this at some point. :P
Yeah while many may use it as a dpi shift button, others like yourself will use it for common actions that frees up a key on the keyboard. As fas as duribility goes, all I can say is that the switch feels really solid and the cap is held on with a strong magnet so I dont think you would have any issues long term. It's benen 6 months so far for me and 0 issues.
Nice review and video. I am a very LLLOOONNNGGG time Logitech user and supporter. Not sure if the MX series of mice or the G series was introduced first - but in the overall shape between the two series is very close to each other. The MX series does have a few buttons on the left hand side where the thumb goes and both series have that resting pad for the thumb. The MX Master 2s can be "Paired" with up to 3 computers - if that would be an option the G Series users might want or not but I have found it useful for me. The MX series is Optical and wireless mainly but can be used wired with a standard micro usb cable. I have done this when I forget to charge the battery and it SssLllOooWwwSss done to a crawl.
Thank you!! yeah I would love to see the MX Master series mice support powerplay. But the multi pc option wouldnt really be needed on the gaming mice. However the Gaming stuff does support connection to a singular dongle instead of using multiple.
honestly with 12 buttons it has,I never assigned more than 1 layout for functions,so the button you usually use for switch I would use it for something else
The G602 and the G604 are still my favorite mice.
the older G502 being heavy is actually one of my favorite features tbh
heavy is terrible. Gave me tennis elbow when i play adc in league of legends. switch to a 60-70gram mouse, it went away. But then i played like 6 hours a day. Heavy is good, for precision, but is kinda bad for long periods of time.
@@georgepierre3594 And here's me with my current 155 Gram HP G200 lmao
Reminder that gaming mice are based on preference :) If someone wants a heavy mouse, doesnt make it terrible, just terrible for someone who prefers a lighter mouse.
the sharp edges on the original g502 hero were in fact so sharp that I once hit my hand on the button and it sliced me right open.
Never watched the channel before, but I was stoked to hear "Divergent" by Ooyy!
I disabled the DPI profile switch even on my old G502. I have never found that I need different DPI profiles since you can change sensitivity in game as is, I still found that I could accidently switch profiles and never knowing if I was in the right profile. I also changed the DPI shift button to CTRL making it super easy for crouching in most games and zooming in and out of web pages with 1 hand. All the other buttons I mapped to keys on the keyboard which are easy to keybind in games for more complex moves.
wait holy crap sniper button to crouch is genius, im doing that
My sniper button is ALWAYS bound to push to talk for Discord. Might not be the best choice as it may affect my aim slightly, but I never seem to notice an issue.
have they replaced the dome switches on the middle wheel? they were a pain point for me
I have the SteelSeries Rival 5 New Edition, and must say, even though it MAY not be the Logitech mouse, it's one fine feeling and very useful mouse!
How do you only have 494 subscribers and over 70k views? Well i am a subscriber now good sir!
Thank you! Just someone getting started with this channel whos been in content creation for a while now haha!
As well as being a giant tech nerd lmao
I have the G502 X Plus and absolutely love it!
Just got a 502 Hero a few months ago so I won't need to change anytime soon. That being said I am glad they continue to increase the quality and design of the original. I have a question, on the wired version do they still use a braded cable? Or did they switch to a soft plastic? I use my mouse a lot every day and the braded cable is much stronger than those plastic ones.
It s wireless so I don’t think the cable matters
It is now plastic not braided unfortunately, it feels cheaper than the 502 hero
@@lesagraham3886 That is sad, Saving a couple cents on the cord. I guess I will find another Hero if mine starts having issues.
Got the 502 x Plus, but the 502 Hero is better ergonomic for my taste.
Soft plastic unfortunately and my cat love that unlile the braided ones... so i have to look for a wireless one now 😢
I had the double klick issue, too, on the lightspeed. i soldered in a new switch :D
haha thats one way to fix it!
My dream mouse is the love child between the G502 and the G604 with it's 6 side buttons, but I guess that won't happen any time soon.
Same I would love a mmo mouse but the look and wait of the g502
Pretty sure that's the G700s. At least it is for me, even with the older sensor. I updated my switches years ago. Problem is they stopped making it and to buy new is anywhere from $200 to $400. Nice thing is there is a pretty good supply of rebuild parts.
My dream mouse is anything BUT a g502
I still want companies to try to make CM Xornet type of mouse. Short at 10.5 cm, normal wideness at 7.5 cm, the interesting ergonomics that fit the small hand perfectly.
i prefer heavy mice. and a cushy mousepad. else my aim is shaky. also, when will logitech relaunch the G9x ? preferably with a couple index buttons like this one. never had a more comfortable mouse for claw grip.
Nice review. Can you configure the g502 x plus with the app to work in davinci resolve, PhotoShop, etc, and use it with shortcuts just like logi mx 3 does?
Thanks! And yes absolutely. You can map any hot key or macro to any of the buttons
Amazing Video man good breakdown
Thanks so much!
I have the org 502 Lightspeed which tbh doesnt require upgrading but the X Plus looks so gorgeous with the RGB and id never had a white mouse before. The Logitech G series trademark design is so timeless that the various models doesn't look too far from its siblings. But im a true blue sucker for all things Corsair so Logitechs (and Razer) just add to my collection of different mouse and keyboards.
It really is incredibly nice! And honestly thats fair. Everyone has their preferred brand they stick too. But I have no doubt you would love it if you end up getting it!
I hope the rubber grips can last long on these. My old g502 lightspeed’s rubber started peeling after 1 year of use 😢
nice, but i feel like the RBG trenches will be collecting alot of icky debris... Weird that you say that 6:30 cus i have the same problem with the previous models xD I keep hitting that darn button by accident!
This helped a lot
I ordered it I came from an old g503 lightspeed. Went with the g503x plus. I got it today and the difference is amazingly much for me could never really reach the sniper button and I use it a lot I improved my gameplay by tons. I paid 135 this is a lot of money for me in these inflation times but for me it's deff worth it. I suggest everyone wondering if they should upgrade see if they can test it out at an local seller or if you have a 30day return policy as in the Netherlands to try it out. It's amazing and it feels like a big improvement in everyway.
you call it the DPI Button, I call it Aim Button purely because I rebind right click to it for almost every game because when I first got an actual gaming mouse it was my dad's old Razer Naga and the right click was going out so I rebound it to 1 on the side buttons and now I can't aim any other way, it must be on my thumb same with whatever the crouch key is (varies by game) and whatever the inventory/journal key is plus I found the DPI I like and have gotten good with (1600 due to having a small mouse area which is what I always assumed DPI was actually meant for)
I still have my G602. I haven't found anything that makes me want to switch. I was thinking of the Basilisk Ultimate, but the G602 is still so comfortable.
G604 is a worthwhile upgrade.
wheel and blower.. hilarious ! great review!
Ik that those leds are really good and can work for years, but are there other kinds of leds in this mouse, I persinally have it.
Only in the back!
What about the razer basilisk v3 pro? But i love the G502 It has been my mouse for abt 2 years and i just switched to the basilisk cuz of the reviews
I haven't had the chance to try that one out as of yet! I'm hoping to in the future.
Find all the gaps of produced videos out there and garnish more views like this video. Your production quality and delivery is top notch, only to get better and better.
Aw yo! Thank you so so much! That's honestly heckin sweet of ya XD I really try my best to address everything someone would want to know about a piece of tech they potentially might be buying! On top of the countless amount of tech videos I already watch and learn from so cheers for the nice comment!
Decent mouse. If you got the cash and are an enthusiast, it works well. Otherwise, lots of mice out there at less than half the cost of this one that perform comparably in the things that matter.
Yep, as I mention in the video theres going to be preference. But if you are someone who liks the size and shape of the 502 and wants a wireless mouse, well your options are either this or the razer Basilisk V3. Theres always choice, theres just always going to be better choices than others.
I know lots of these so called enthusiasts that have really old gear.
@@Techtacula the original wireless g502 was the only mouse to ever properly feel comfortable in my hand. if this 502 feels anything like that, ill buy 10 of them.
i got the 502x wired version, the weight savings and cost makes it more than pay for its price, i am used to wired mice and the cable for the 502x is surprisingly light and uses good silicone :D
I mean i bought this mouse for 70 bucks australian...that's nothing. Sure there are cheaper mice but 70 bucks isn't exactly breaking the bank lol
Can you make custom profiles for different games / applications?
I have the white x plus it feels the same but lighter just way more balanced
Alternate between Pro X Superlight and Basilisk v3 Pro, the latter being superior imo to the 502 X series
I tried it at the shop - i could not feel any difference between my current logitech wireless light speed, so i must say i am not in a rush to upgrade for now, but i am not FPS gamer so maybe that is why :)
Do you mean from the shape and comfort or just generally using the mouse? The mice will be noticably different when playing an FPS however it being lighter and dialing in the sensitivity, I'm confident in the fact that you would feel a difference.
About the weight discussion. I'm probably one of those odd ones out, but I simply can't deal with those "lightweight" mice. It's why I put in all the extra weights into my current G502 and even after very long gaming sessions I am having no issues with my hands, wrists or arms. It also doesn't really feel "heavy" imho and I am far from being a physical fit person. I also always play way better on "heavier" mice. Be it for shooters (more in the past than today as I rarely play them anymore) or other games. It's more about the feel/how comfortable they are for a user than the actual weight imho. Moving "the weight" is also a kind of feedback. It feels sturdier, I am feeling more of the mouse and of my hand. Meanwhile the "lightweight" mice just feel...flimsy. They are just overall way more comfortable to me. One of my favorite mice in the past was the MX1000 which weighs 200 grams IIRC. It's also one reason why I dislike playing with the Nintendo Switch Pro controllers by now. My X-Box and the PS5 controllers just feel way better, partly due to the heavier weight.
i like the g903 vry much...slight heavy but it helps me to control better
I prefer heavier mice so I'll be sticking with my G502 Hero until I can get a ROG Spatha X... as for why I prefer the heavy ones it's cause they stay put better.(I have a heavy palm grip)
I have tried the G502 I just want a replacement for the G700s. I'm pretty good at rebuilding it but really want some of the new features I haven't been able to retro in. I realize my flaw was using a mouse with so many buttons. You get used to it after years, between that and all the profiles, sometimes dozens for a single game. The thought of redoing all of them is a nightmare.
Yeah its a pain that logitech didn't make a true replacement for the g700s when they retired it. I was using a g903 to make do for a while after my g700s died, and I have recently been using the g502 which has also been okay, but not a true replacement. The two giant dpi buttons next to the right click can be remapped so its close to the g700s experience but I wish they would just make another mouse with two rows of side buttons on one side. They already did it once, I don't understand why its so hard to do again.
I just snagged one of these brand new off of FB Marketplace for $40 and am absolutely in love with it. Best mouse ive ever owned by far
Hell yeah! Absolute steal, good stuff!
Hi, does qi charging work with any wireless charging base?
Um so given you commented this on a video about gaming mice, I will start by saying that, your phone will not charge on the Logitech Power Play Charging Mouse Pad. It ONLY charges Logitech mice that have the power puck underneath. Regardless of whether your phone has Qi charging or not is irrelevant, the mouse But for regular wireless chargers, the short answer is yes. Qi charging is a standard that can be supported. So for example, if your phone supports Qi charging, then it can take advantage of wireless chargers that support Qi charging too. If its just a basic wireless charger, it will still work ofc, it just wont have the fast charging speed that Qi charging brings.
@@Techtacula Thanks for the reply!
G502 best mouse i every had.. bort 3 of them... great for gaming cheers
Yeah, I've had two G502. Both of them the wheel gummed up and it stopped working well. I looked into what I could do to take it apart and clean it, and it was more work than I wanted to do. So now I'm using an Asus Spartha X, and for year 1 of use it's been surprisingly good. No more 502's.
i’ve never had an issue with my g502 and i’ve had it for like 3 years lol, sounds like youre messing something up
@@hannah. not a lot of ways to screw up using a scroll wheel. I've never had it happen before, it happened 2x to the same model of mouse, and it's never happened again.
@@fubarace1027 i dunno man i’ve never had an issue, sounds like something youre doing wrong. maybe u use infinite scroll too much or smth
Just bought one three days ago, and have had to charge it twice. I started with the powerplay, but it couldn't make headway on charging it, plugged in the cable and let it charge while I slept. unplugged the USB cable and within half an hour it had lost 10%. I think I might need to take it back and swap it out. I am coming from the 502 lightspeed which I have had 2 with the double click issue.
Seems like some bad luck. I have the powerplay and I havent needed to charge it at all. And thats with RGB on at full brightness.
Didnt know this exist! Thanks
Im considering this or the pro x superlight, thoughts?
Different tier's of mice there. It's going to come down to whether you primarily play FPS or not. Because the Pro X Superlight will be better for that. But if not or you don't play often, and want something that would be a little more comfortable due to being a bit bigger, then the G502 X Lightspeed or X Plus is the way to go. Hope that helps!
BEST REVIEW ON THIS MOUSE ON KZhead! CANT YOU DO THE RAZER BASILISK V3 PRO
Haha thank you! I will absolutely see if I can get my hands on one and do a comparison!
@@Techtacula u welcome brother
i use a corsair k95 platinum and a corsair nightsword mouse. I love em both but my 0 key has a bad green led which annoys me and im just overall bored of them. Ive been looking for a replacement to try but if its anything other than high end im gonna feel like its a downgrade. logitech in my mind is low end generic brand that over the years has grown into a pretty dope company. And the g502 x plus looks dope . i may have to give that a try.. BUT!!!!!!!!!!!! What software does logitech use? because if i have to use ANOTHER software im gonna jump off a cliff.. Not wanting to add another rgb software has limited my options a ton. MSI Dragon center - msi meg z390 godlike/ msi gxt 3090ti/ case argb/ case rgb. case fans asus aura - ryujin ii 360/ asus xg438Q corsair Icue - dominator platinum/ k95 plat/ nightsword The next pc i build will be ONLY 100% all from the same company (at least the things with argb/rgb) because it is a nightmare trying to make all these softwares work with each other. always has been.
Wonder if they'll ever fix their range problem my Razor mouses never stutter when its 7 feet away.
only one i dont like is the internal memory shift to all five memory, it blink the rgb by color it is easy to miss unlike the G502 hero it uses the three side led to incicate which internal memory profile
I have a question. It will be the first time I'm going to heavily invest in a mouse. I really like this particular mouse because I'm very comfortable with the weight and a big fan of that design and features. Can you let me know if you ever felt any fatigue in your palm/ wrist while using this mouse for prolonged periods of time? Some say it's a "Brick" Keep in mind i have a large l, stronger than average hand
I cant give you a perfect answer on this. Wrist rests are so important to provide support and reduce fatigue. Due to its comfort I doubt you would suffer any fatigue but I think a wrist rest is going to help you the most with that particular issue.
@@Techtacula copy that thanks
You need more subs!
Wow, the detail in this review is pretty amazing. Be mindful the hand closeups (grimy) because people do look :) But overall perhaps one of the best mouse reviews I've ever seen. Your a natural.
Grime confirmed
Thank you so much I appreciate it! Also yes... many people have mentioned and its being addressed lmao
While I respect the G502 for it's legacy as a popular mouse for gaming, you *really* have to want the G502 shape, the extra buttons and/or USB C to buy the X/X Plus. On Amazon, the X Plus without RGB is 140USD, and with RGB it's 155USD. The G Pro Superlight is cheaper at 110USD while being a lighter mouse, and the only thing I don't like as someone who owns a G Pro Superlight is charging over Micro-USB. However, I'd be willing to bet that the existence of the G502 X Plus is the beginning of Logitech moving over to USB C on all their gaming mice.
Yeah USB C is finally in that stage that we are seeing way more adoption for it. And absolutely, you will need to like the shape ofc, G pro superlight and this are completely different shapes, it just depends what you are looking for. Best thing to do though, wait for the powerplay to go on sale and grab that. Then no more needing to charge over micro haha
Yea, well, the weights are the reason I use the 502. I tend to pick my mouse up and the weights helped me counter that. That's a negative for me.
it's hard for me to reach the sniper botton, because it stays too far ahead for me. In this new one, by changing its position, is it easier to reach???
Yep thats the point of the new design. the extra lip on the button helps it accomodate way more hand sizes to make it much easier to reach.
Wonder if this will have the same double clicking problem in the switches, which I had to swap out with the Razer Basilisk Ultimate hate the scroll wheel on it but zero double clicking!
Given that they are optical-mechanical, its pretty much a non-existent issue anymore, given the only way for the switch to actuate is via the laser inside the switch. Razer has had quality issues for quite a while now so I've always had more faith in Logi. But only time will tell.
@@Techtacula good to know they improved the switches. I dont like Razer and the reliance of having to have all their software installed, other than that ive had no issues where as with my 502 i did.
Would you take this over the Basilisk V3 pro?
Hard to give a proper answer since I haven't used the Basilisk V3 Pro, however as far as build quality goes, Logitech has always had the leg up over Razer there.
Looks nearly as good as the classic MX revolution, still best mouse ever IMHO
I've had a 700S for 6 years without issue and its been fantastic. Recently I replaced it with a 604 and was extremely disappointed. The build quality of the newer mouse felt like a cheap toy. It was smaller as well and my hand didn't it properly. I might give this one a shot but right now I'm looking at the Basilisk v3 pro
Ive had G700s for 6+ years aswell! But sadly a few days ago I have noticed that my right click started to "Double click".. Tried looking for another 700s on the market but I cant find any! Super sad. But this one right here looks good ngl :D
I have G502 and wireless version of it will be perfect replacement
I don't know how your scroll wheel works but mine is practically inaudible in free scroll and you cant have tactile mode without something clicking into place.
I have an original 502. I always found the side buttons hard to use. The first one is easy to reach. The second one I have to move my hand forward for, which makes it hard to use, and I barely use it. The sniper button I have never used because it's too far away. I thik it's down to how I hold the mouse. Have heard it described as like a claw, by a tech channel talking about mice. Whereas you lay your hand flat over the mouse in this vid.
The reversible sniper button on the new one, makes it a lot easier to accommodate. But yeah, the grip varies from person to person on top of hand size and can really affect what your preferred shape will be.
Ive read this is also wider but you dont state that, i get cramps from playing with my 502 H, my X should be here on Wednesday! I love the side button, they used to have a slogan, 'Never miss a headshot', i renamed it and use it to this day ''Never miss a screen shot'' lol Oh and btw you dont need to keep the Logitec software open, you can simply save it to onboard and close the APP, it will remember your saved preset.
I've got some digital measuring calipers coming in so that I can accurately comment on stuff like this so ty for pointing it out! Yes with saving it to onboard, its designed to work like that but in actuality, its hit and miss when it wants to work. Just read some of the other comments here to see haha.
On the DPI button.... I'm currently using the 502 and as a user of it I think you have your hand really forward to accidentally hit that. Everyone has their own style but I was trying to accidentally hit that button on accident and its actually almost difficult for me. Maybe its because I have bigger hands I don't know. What I will tell you from my own experience is when I started using this mouse I would occasionally accidentally hit the button for the thumb. I think after using it a ton, you naturally curb being over bearing on the mouse with your hand and move it back a bit. I've loved these mice because of the button layout, it is just phenomenal in my opinion for gaming and even for graphics design if you reprogram the buttons to common features. My only complaint has always been that its a bit on the narrow side. My fingers over time felt cramped in a long gaming session. The first thing that failed on my first one was the right clicker. I was heavily into playing games where holding the right click when aiming down a gun was necessary. The button would start double clicking, and it happened on the first one about maybe 8 months of heavy gaming. The second one the left clicker decided to do the same thing at about a year. I loved the mouse so much I just bought two the next time and figured I would always keep a back up. I am now on my probably 5th one and just got it recently. Good luck to you all but if your watching this I like shooters, survival, and strategy and I would feel lost without it. I also use the G-13 for my left hand currently. I don't like it as much as the razor design as far as comfort, but it is useful.
So what I said in the video was that the button sticks up a lot higher compared to the previous model. This could have been mitigated by having the button require more force to push or recessing it like the previous model, but instead its the way it is and the slightest touch actuates it.
@@Techtacula I got you bud, and if I were you or anyone that was experiencing it, I would just deactivate the button. Just suggesting maybe move your hand back so your fingers aren't so close at that point. I was not trying to tear you down in anyway. I liked your video.
Can those leds serve for years? Especially in this mouse
Oh for sure. I've never seen or heard anyone have LED issues with their mice, even after years and years of use. Including my own experience. No worries on that front.
