Logitech G502 X Plus vs Logitech G502 Lightspeed - what's new?
Here I'm comparing the @LogitechG 502 X Plus with the original Logitech G502 Lightspeed. The new model has been nicely upgraded (see my full review here - • Logitech G502 X Plus i... ) in a few different ways. It now has optical switches, a USB-C charging cable, RGB lighting and is lighter too.

Infinite scroll wheel is the savior of accepting terms and agreements in games.
ha
Omg that's funny, just how often that happens 😂 definitely a saver
Dropped a sub thanks for the review really helpful in deciding which to get
Glad I could help
I've had my G700 for 16 years, looking to get a new one. Thank you for the video!
Nice! I've still got a G700 sitting in a cupboard somewhere. That was my first introduction to gaming mice and I used it for many years. Eventually my brother got a G502 and since then we've only ever bought G502s (even Mum has one, and I convinced work to buy me one lol). I'm finally fed up with my mouse cable never sitting in the right place or feeling "wrong", so after discovering how ridiculously low the latency of their Lightspeed system is on my laptop's mouse I'm going to ask for a G502 X Plus Lightspeed for Christmas.
SIXTEEN YEARS?!?!?!? bro that's insane
Call me crazy but I really do like how heavy the original one was. A shame they couldn't allow for added weights.
My thoughts exactly. I think I will go with the original as my present mouse weighs 132G and this would seem a bit light to what I am used to.
Only crazy people would call someone crazy for having different or uncommon preferences. And don't let anyone convince you otherwise ;)
I like my products with a little heft to them. I haven't used a mouse for gaming much yet, but I imagine in this case, lighter would be better. But I'd prefer a little heft, to be honest. Maybe not too much though. Adjustable weights sound awesome. I did just get the g502x over the older g502 though. They are being sold at the same price on logitechs website so might as well get the newer improved one. Shame no weights though. Eh, it's fine I guess. Probably wouldn't really use them anyway.
hanks for the video loving the costume. Just wanted to ask if you felt any difference between the feel of the 2 mouses when holding them? the X Plus is slightly wider, does that make holding the mouse slightly different in your opinion? thanks
Thanks for the comparison! Cheers! I spend a lot of time searching, clicking on small text links, editing text (dropping a cursor in), Designing in CAD and 3d programs and editing photos. No gaming though. Could you please let me know your opinion on the following questions? 1. Do you find with the weights in the original G502 that it's more stable and easier to control? 2. How does your ring and pinky fall on the mouse? My hand is about 7.75 inches (19.685 cm) from tip of middle finger to crease at wrist and my pinky and ring finger always get fatigued, bother me (I'm currently using a M705) Thank you in advance.
Great video. Hey, I took the older ones back weighted plate and put it on the x plus. Its ammmaaaaazing
Thanks for showing how to swap out the 'low DPI' button, because the most annoying thing about previous models is that its set too far forward to comfortably rest my thumb on it. Does it make a significant difference with the extra tab being slightly extended when you flip it round?
I'm 5'5", my hands are pretty below average, I've had no problem resting my thumb there
Well, you've just made me change my mind. Thanks! I thought the swappable sniper button was a pointless feature. I hardly ever accidentally click it, and people who do click it can just unbind it and there should be no problems. But I guess others like you experience this very differently 😅
@@baraneo8195I'm about 6'2" (1m90) and I also don't have any problems with it even though I have fairly big hands. The tip of my thumb is resting on the button so I can easily click it when I want to. But it's not uncomfortable in any way. I guess everyone's experience is different though :)
over many years now i had alot of pc mice, from multiple razer, ones some other ones, roccat kone , all good mice, but there is something about this g502 design it not only looks cool it also feels phenomenal, i am holding my mouse in a claw grip, so my full hand is never laying on the mouse. its just really nice. damn, the thing, is my wireless headphones have some power button issue its not a big deal a lil annyoing here and the, and my keyboard also have sometimes issues, like it double type lletters, just like now double l for some reason, its all cleaned , and man im kinda thinking to go full white. since all my stuff is anyway white..
Hello, can we assign new macros to Scroll Up and Scroll down keys in G Shift mode? I guess these keys are also programmable. If that so, I will be so glad to buy newer version G502 X Plus. By the way I have 4 G502 :)) one is cordless. Others are regular one, KDA, G502 SE andG502 Hero. Thanks for your answer.
I love the video, but I do have a quick question. Did you use the mouse that you personally been using for the sound test? If so, I would say to have an accurate sound test you would have to do it with both devices being new. Using the mouse will most certainly reduce the clickiness over time. Other than that, this was a very solid video and I really enjoyed it. Thank you.
It was a new one
Logitech G502 is one of the best IMO. P.S. Nice video!
new version is also good but I like the design of the old g502. Just my own thought.
Same
thx for the review
Thanks for watching!
Hello, a question, the receptor 502, Is it only used to connect the mouse or could a wireless keyboard also be paired at the same time? If so, please tell me which one?
On the new one, are the side thumb buttons up higher on the mouse compared to the older 502? I have really big hands, so sometimes when playing ill hit my side buttons mid fight and switch weapons
I got it and liked it but I just picked up a g303 and it’s feels much smaller than the g502 weirdly people always say the g303 is one of Logitechs biggest but it is shorter than the g pro and g502 . Got it on sale for 79.99!
Thanks for the review, this made me go out and buy one an hour ago. It's a very nice mouse, definitely like it more than the g502 lightspeed.
Enjoy!
Will say i have had both, had to replace the g502 X plus and had to replace it 2 months in cause the sensor went bad, now the new one not even 2 weeks in need to be replaced cause the mouse buttons are faulty, g502 normal never gave me any issues iwth my original the 2nd one i got gave me some problems but that was after i jitter clicked the left click for 1 and a half months every day for 5+ hours a day, my personal opinion is g502 lightspeed fits my hand better cause the left and right click are farther apart instead of so close together like on the x plus which i like more cause my hand feels cramped. Overall g502 lightspeed is better IMO than the upgraded version cause it feels like the g502 lightspeed is just made better instead of cheap.
One thing i hate about logitech is they release things randomly and one at a time. Now we have to wait who knows how long for the superlight to get usbc and optical
It cost a lot of money to change a product. The way I see it, they use the money they make off of one to do the next. Also, if they go all out and change everything at once, and then everyone hates it, they will lose so much more money than with releasing one product at a time and making sure they get it right.
I have used the freewheel scroll wheel on these 502s for YEARS at work and at home. I most commonly use it to get back to the top of a long page very quickly, or sometimes when I just want a very low-effort way to scroll a long page periodically. I LOVE the freewheel scrollwheels!
i want to know if the rubber on 502x will wear off like it does on the 502 LS. anyone can shed some light on this
is the padding the same? cause my wired g502 wears out. thanks
I have the G502 Hero SE, and i want to buy a wireless one, too. I think I'll go for the G502 Lightspeed, though. I love the design, the sound, the buttons, and the DPI Indicator on the side with the 3 led strips.
One of the biggest improvements is that in the original G502 when you were on the "infinite scroll" and you shook your mouse the wheel rattled a lot and this is gone in the X Plus
finally someone who realy do the mouse video as it should be done
what did you like?
@@TheProvokedPrawn i did like this video i have thinked buy the g502 x cos i have the lightspeed version of it... and i like how silent the clicks are even my razer viper 8khz is so loud at i want sell it or trash it to garbage. you have still that g502 x plus is it semi silent? like the g502 lightspeed?
so it's better in every aspect, except they removed the weight customization. why would they remove that?
Hey, so i was doubting on buying this mouse for 1 particular reason, how does the rgb line in the new mouse feel? because it looks kind of uncomfortable, so yeah, how big does that impact in the g502 ls to g502 x+ transition?
You don't notice it imo
Zero impact.
1:36 what exactly is that for? I got my mouse today and im extremly confused on what im supposed to do with that
Just picked one up today. I am a MASSIVE G502 wireless fan. Had two of the original. Got the new white G502X and I would upgrade every day. SLIGHT changes but they are so worth it. Only thing I don't like so far is the DPI sensor is not a 3 bar system, so I am struggling to know which DPI I'm sitting at. I have to remember which RGB color lines up with different DPI's. Either way, upgrade all day. So worth it so far.
What is the size comparison? I like the g502 lightspeed size, would i want the 'g502 x Plus' or regular 'g502 x'
is it worth it over the g pro wireless ? this mouse is gods work but at the same time i want a right-hand dominant mouse.
Does the weight impact gameplay, does it feel much different from the 502
@@Born2Legit ofc a lighter mouse is better
@@meytah8382 Well weight is a preference, yes it could be considered an improvement since the "overall weight for performance" is better. The real question I'm asking is if i make the switch (considering I have gotten used to the heaver weight) will it affect my aim, like will i fling my arm/wrist around too much? But everything else looks great on the mouse
only i dont like on the G502x plus it's on board memory indicator it was color coded often you will miss interpret which profile it was on, i like the 3 led indicator on the g502 light it instant tell your in what memory profile with out thinking what color just flash on the rgb....
im debating on this or the new roccat wireless mouse with the charging dock.
The Kone XP Air is great tbh kzhead.info/sun/pNNqk6evfpaHi6c/bejne.html
Hi I have a question, is the g502 lightspeed(wireless) compatible with the xbox series?
The Og g502 feel better.. and side buttons placed better.. I keep touching the dpi buttons when pressing side buttons
Does the mouse feet of the g502 X make the mouse feel lighter than the g502 lightspeed? I know that the g502 x is lighter but I want to know the difference of the mouse feet between the two mice.
The feet and glide are superior on X. Big difference.
The grips on the g502x plus are way easier to clean aswell; just one wipe with the grain of it and any potential gunk is out.
love your mouse dude!
Just got my G502 X Plus - to replace a malfunctioning Basilisk V3 Pro - It's a nice looking mouse - seems great so far. The cable it comes with is trash if you actually wanted to use it as a mouse cable - glad I kept the Razer USB C Cable.
I was considering the razer instead of this one. Might I ask what went wrong with yours?
@@MrDalesen It would constantly click when the computer was turned off. It has a digital scroll wheel selector that would audibly click on and off when the computer was off. It didn't happen all the time, but when it did I had to turn my computer back on and off or unplug the mouse. I used it wired though, so I couldn't say if the problem would happen in wireless mode. I have been very happy with the 502X.
@@OntarioGuy430 Thank you so much for a quick answer. I have read that people had issues with pressing the buttons on the side unintentionally, have you experienced that?
@@MrDalesen Sorry for the delayed answer now ha-ha. I have occasionally pressed the G8 and G7 buttons that are next to the left mouse button - I have disabled them now. I have never accidentally pressed the actual side buttons where your thumb sits.
@@OntarioGuy430 Great stuff. Thank you for an insightful answer. I will try it out
The only thing that annoyed me was the weight removal feels a bit cheap but getting used to it now but definitely still a master of a mouse and would not change it
Is it worth upgrading to the X plus?
Do you enjoy the lack of weights? I have all the weights in my regular g502 light speed and the lack of adding weights is kinda a turnoff.
I’m having such a hard time trying to do anything with the G502x Plus in Logitech G hub
Logitech g hub its terrible
The interface is horrible, but as soon as you figure it out, you can literally customize everything.
G502 Lightspeed kullanıyorum. Bunu satıp X Plus geçmeye değer mi ? Sen olsan ne yapardın?
Silver mouse at 6:22 looks awesome lol
This is a case of the older model being better, feels better with better button placement.
Hi i wang to upgradr me g900 to a g903 or g502 xplus. Wich one is better in yoir opinion? Not sure if you ever used the g903😅
I did kzhead.info/sun/npGBlr2kboyDiYU/bejne.html but the G502 X plus is the best imo.
Where did you get that oversized skull mouse pad???
Amazon
the lots of changes puts me off, i love the lightspeed g502 and mine is in need of a rest, i would definitely love some features of the new one but the less weight and the not as sharp design its a no, i rather buy another lightspeed
This is basically ASMR
Actually, infinity wheel was a selling point for me over Razer. I use my mouse for gaming and work. And at work the infinity wheel is irreplaceable for scrolling throughout lengthy documents or datasets. Or you reading a forum and want to go back quickly, you don't need to lift your arm and press "home" on keyboard, you just use the selling point of this mouse: infinity wheel.
WHERE IS THE EXTRA 2 PROGRAMMABLE BUTTON ? IT LOOKS THE SAME AMOUNT OF BUTTONS
if they made the PowerPlay in a larger desk-mat type size, I would consider this mouse. otherwise, wireless is a deal-breaker
The Lamborghini of mice
Its so silly that they give rgb only to the "battery operated" version. So counterintuitive.
You said there are two additional cutom buttons.... where??
Wondering as well... I think it's the friggin scroll wheel which is now customisable (could just be added with software update on the regular Lightspeed...)
damn, no weight customizability is kind of a dealbreaker for me, which is a shame cause everything else is better in x plus for me
I JUST bought the 502, could kick myself for not doing more research.
Why
any recommendation for big hands?
Yes, I would suggest some of the following Steel Series: Rival 650 Corsair: Dark Core RGB Pro Also, look in Glorious Model, they have some lightweight mouses that come in various ranges of sizes.
You said there was a 13th programmable button but I don't remember if you said what it was or where. Did I miss something?
It's all the side buttons, left and right click, mouse wheel tilt, middle mouse in, mouse wheel up and down and the side dpi buttons and the one behind the wheel. You can see it all in the software on the review video if it helps.
The weight reduction is certainly welcome. Just because I have big hands and want a mouse that feels comfortable doesn‘t mean that I don‘t wanna play faster paced games with it. It‘s not an office mouse after all, so pace is definitely favorable compared to a more premium feel. Still like my G502, but at some point I might switch to something lighter and I‘m at least gonna check this one out and compare it to the real FPS mice to see if I could be comfortable with something even lighter as well that will be on the market by then.
It seems like the quality and durability of the new plastic has become worse, which is unfortunate.
A worthy upgrade, but alas, an unnecessary one. For double the price I don\t see double the value.
just got the G502 Lightspeed for £60 bargain
I bought both and returned the G502. I did like both but they were so similar that I just liked the aesthetics of the X so that's what I kept. I didn't feel much difference in stability with the weights added and felt that, over time, I would just get used to it and the difference between weighted and non-wrighted would matter. The 502 was a tad higher off the surface (mouse pad) and when compared to the X but not enough to make a huge difference with my size hands. Since I have the G915 I figured the lighting on the X would pair better with it and that was the main reason I kept it. I like the customizable buttons and I've created custom profiles for different programs which is very useful. The CONS are, like others have mentioned, the buttons where your thumb rests. I am constantly hitting the rear button, closest to the back of the mose, so I had to modify the default command from "back" to ESC so that, if I was typing an email or form in a browser I didn't inadvertently go back and erase my work. Ive gotten used to it but occasionally I do click it. The rest of the buttons are in better positions and easily accessible. Overall, I transitioned from the M702 which is smaller. I've used that mose for about a decade and always loved it. The 502X is a sweet mouse and easily customizable and looks great with the lighting. The price is a little steep but considering it's the first mouse I've bought in 10 years I figured I'd get similar life out of it so in the grand scheme of things it's not so bad. I'd buy it again.
From your experience , do you notice if the right click has different sound than left click one. I am afraid to buy became it will be too loud as in the test video, same case with scroll wheel it sounds so rough? Please lemme know :)
@@superdupervideox no. There is no difference in the audible click. Both sound the same. I do want to try the Logitech MX master 3s. It looks like it would fit my hands better. I have moderately big hands and my pinky gets cramped because it curls into the side of the mouse. Overall, I still like the 502x after a couple months of using it.
How do you Turn rgb off?
in logitech g hub software
Honestly, I'm a big fan of the ergonomic shape and the optical switches on this mouse. But the the price and the weight are the 2 big deal breakers for me. I could get a high end gaming mouse that weights less and performs better for cheaper
The plus has no ring finger/pinky finger room Be warned Im returning it as my fingers are being smushed together while using it
Even in 1.2x speed this guy sounds so slow
g502 good than G502 X
g502 lightspeed imo is better than the x plus, havent tried the x version but i doubt itd last like how the g502 is meant to / does when playing fps games
I HATE noises. This mouse is amazing, but the noise is awful.
I'm not a fan of the scroll wheel volume
Idk man, i liked the original better
Taking away the weights is a step in the wrong direction.
This is why I'm not upgrading to it. I hate that they took the weights away.
What do you guys use the damn mouse for, jerking off? Mouse is heavy as a brick, I'm 100% sure your wrist will get injured if you use it with weights on for anything remotely competitive
you know thats better, right?
@@meytah8382 How is taking a feature away better? Sure, it's a little bit lighter, but if it's at the sacrifice of quality features, why would anyone want it?
@@lTakao01 lighter is better. who gives a fuck about features. all you need for shooters is 2 side buttons and a scroll wheel that doesnt blow.
i want logitech g502 X Plus, but i dont have enough money to buy it :(

There isn't any
@@TheProvokedPrawn :( so this is bad news
the old one is much better 100% u will find out new its junk
Logitech software is terrible but their hardware is awesome. I advise to uninstall the software once you have set up your device.
compared to razer, ghub is leagues better
Whatever brand there is always someone hating on the software. Corsair, Razer, Logitech, all of them. It's interesting.
No problems with log G Hub on my G703.
