how does the G502 X and X lightspeed show what profile is active?
Can we blame you for the lack of stock for the lightspeed!? 😂 Is £20 worth it for the plus to get it a month earlier 🤔
LMAO I bought the x plus on accident !!! but it is better than the g502 hero
Had wired 502 years now and finally upgraded to 502 X plus. Can't find anything wrong with it. Most responsive mouse I ever used. For that I would say this "review" is sponsored by some other mouse manufacturer. There is no reason not to buy this mouse.
does enyone have problems saving macros to on board memory on G502 hero ??? i cant save any macro on my mouse....
"Dont buy this" proceeds to point out tons of things i like in a mouse. You just made me more sure about the purchase, which i really appreciate! Really like your straight forward (and very honest, thankfully) style of review!
Is it worth it?
The title is borderline clickbait. He said don't buy the G502 X Plus, not the G502 X. The Plus version only adds RGB. So he did say not to buy the version with RGB at the end and he said the non RGB version was good enough to buy. So he technically wasn't wrong with the title.
@@konary6332 Yes
@@FatherManus wrong, everyone knows that RGB = +FPS and that = PC MASTER RACE
Had mine for a day now, couple notables: - The DPI shift buttons are the main feature of the G502, second only to the grip style. Not for the ability to swap dpi on the fly, but for the button placement. Swap those buttons to keys that you can use in game. Ya'll not doing this are missing out, heavily. The G502 is the "best selling mouse ever made" and not the basilisk. What's the only difference? The DPI buttons. USE THEM. The larger size on the g7 also allows you to hit it with your thumb comfortably. This is great as I use it for push to mute and grenade/gadget depending on the game, and freeing up the pointer finger is useful. - The Scroll UP/DOWN is now customizable in GHUB. This is actually fairly huge. Bunny hopping and infinite scroll wheel shooting? I'm sure there are other uses. I've only made use of it in Warframe so far, but I'll be keeping an eye out for other uses. - The weight. I'm throwing this out there for the people not pretending to be "pro gamers" and actually value comfort over a .01 percent higher k/dr. The g502x is markedly lighter. To the point that is slightly uncomfortable. I have both the OG lightspeed and the X in front of me, and I'll definitely be taking up the advice of swapping the bottom weight plate. If you are in it for a lighter mouse, but want the comfort of the g502 layout, this is probably a huge plus for you. Not for me. If I didn't have the extra weight plate, I would be *weighing* (lol) the pros and cons as far as keeping the OG lightspeed around. - The RGB strip is awkward and noticeable in the palm. I don't like it. It's not a make it or break it for me, but it is unusual. - The thumb rest area feels shorter. I'm unsure if this is a pro or a con. - The lack of a gap at the front of the mouse between the left and right mb is annoying. I liked the gap. It's been a day and I've tried to click that area multiple times now when regrabbing the mouse because it sits in the same location as muscle memory puts my middle finger from the OG lightspeed. Not a huge thing, but it is weird. - It is talked about in the video, but the mouse wheel is a huge improvement. Like HUGE improvement. I have hated the g502 mouse wheel since I first picked up the OG in 2014, despite it becoming my favorite mouse for nearly a decade. This is significant, imo. The X fixed all the issues I've had with the 502, but added some others. So far I'm happy with my purchase.
Such a underrated use case, been using the dpi keys as custom keys for years now, total game changer
I'm a casual gamer and I've used all the extra buttons on the g502 for media cotrol for years now, just pressing the sniper button to pause a video when you want to hear someone talk is such a nice qol improvement
oh my god
Having used the g402 for years I don't think I can EVER use a gaming mouse long terms without those from "DPI" buttons. Always have the foremost one bound to melee and in movement heavy games like halo and apex not having to take my fingers off WASD has gotten me kills more than I can count.
I haven't used the dpi buttons ever, but I did remap them for other useful binds. My absolute favourite thing about this mouse is the hyper scroll whell. Am not buying a mouse without that feature anymore. I also never thought it was that heavy, but I probably just got used to it tbh.
Never understand why people seem to care about the weight of a mouse, it doesn't really matter how heavy it is you get used to it over time. I've always liked heavier mouses more but I guess that's just me
it really is just a matter of preference, after using the g502 and some other mice i really liked the weight of it without all the weights and it felt super nice to use. even with all the weights my brain filled the gaps and i got used to it, still preferred it without them though. as long as it doesn’t feel like a rock, weight doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things as long as you’re comfortable with it and it feels good to use.
Same, in fact I bought the new 502X as my original 502 showed big signs of wear after I bought it almost day 1 it was available and I could not get over how much the weight changed compared to what I am used to and really liked as the weight. And as the new one has a pretty cheap and thin cable that is not sleeved as the old one every time the cable touched my table or something I could really feel it (Yeah bad cable management on my part, but it was never a problem before.) long story short, bought the lightspeed version, weight is more comparable to the old one and no cheap annoying cable :D Hopefully it will last me the next 8 or so years like the old one.
@@CritteRino a mouse bungee will solve yr cable dragging problem. A cheap bungee will do. Not much difference in an branded one
its physics, less weight requires less force to move, meaning you need less force to aim and you can play for longer without fatigue. Heavy mice are just a left over of an era when weight somehow meant quality for dumb consumers.
@@camilo3626 It's not like they weigh a tonne or something, after a few days you would get used to the weight of it and it doesn't effect fatigue or gameplay after that. While I understand everyone is different and that's perfectly fine
the fact that they made a swappable flat button for the side button is great, really one of the only complaints that i had with the previous version.
I have been using the foremost DPI switch on my g402 (g502x otw) for years. For basically any game that has a melee/fast melee, e.g. melee in Halo, switch to knife in CS etc. It has all been bound to that button, nothing has felt more natural for me. That and using the side "sniper" button to switch weapons.
G402 sliver to global elite@_@ using 6 years+
I bought mine (x plus) about 2 weeks ago, and upgraded from the 502 corded version. I like this one FAR better, and I thought the 502 was great. I like the rgb, it’s comfy, light, and highly responsive.
Does this still have the double click issue ?
@@dynamite2520 it won't, optical switches doesnt have that problem
@Weilysium already bought it, thanks for the reply. Hopefully I don't see the same issue
does it have delay?
@@aryafazell6952 yes about 6 month delay.
I just want the G203 to get this treatment and new switches.
With hero sensor even 12k is ok 😂
That costs like $10 at Walmart. For that money you can simply install new switches and mod
Same for g300s make it also wireless
just get a G Pro wired lmao
By far the best mouse that I ever had, if they upgrade and buff that mouse I might buy it. Now I'm trying the xm1r, is good but it's a little hard to get used.
After using the og 502 I couldn’t imagine using any other mouse, I love the two side buttons next to the left click, hopefully getting this x upgrade for Christmas 🙏🏼
"hopefully getting this x upgrade for Christmas" so, did you get it?
@@ChasseurTueur I did! I’d say the biggest differences are the weight, the scroll wheel, and the texture on the bottom feet makes it feel alottt smoother I love it 🤟🏼
It's a shame it doesn't have a rapid button
Hi. Thank you for the video. Can you turn off dpi changing buttons during the game in order not to misclick them? Can you put another function on sniper button? Like melee/stab?
All of the buttons are customizable and are able to be turned off!!
Thanks for the review! I've got this one with the g915 on black friday for a dime and as a casual gaming gardener, the weight is completely unnoticeable for me. My skills wouldn't be any less clumsy with a full fletched gaming mouse. Where did you get the triangular mousepad btw.?!?! I love it!
Great review. Is there anything one can do to protect the rubber coating before ever starting to use the mouse? On my old lighspeed it's worn down all the way to the plastic. I'd be happy if there was something skin-safe that could turn the rubber into a hard, resilient surface.
Could probably try grip tape? It’s a popular solution for people that don’t like the coating of mice.
desk fan blowing at your hand will probably be your best bet, i have 2 g502s (wired which i gave to the wife after like 6 years when i got the lightspeed) and neither have rubber peeling
Use overhead grips
This Vs the new basilisk pro is a verrrrry close one. I adore having a DPI light, and a DPI scroll
So my issue with this mouse is unwanted inputs from the scroll wheel. Playing apex I have my forward movement and jump bound to the scroll wheel for wall jumps and tap strife which is great for the free spin wheel but it get annoying when I go to lift up my mouse to reset center the mouse wheel is so sensitive that it causes me to jump at unwanted times and gets me kill more times than not. Is there a way to decrease the sensitivity or stop this without having the wheel locked. Any input from anyone would be helpful.
what charging connection does the standard 502 have? doesnt the 502x plus have a type c charger?
Hi, is the sniper button programmable ?
As a 502 hero user, you've given me everyreason why I should buy the new one. Thanks 👍
On the logitechg website it says it has 13 programable buttons, but I only count 11, the same number as the original g502 lightspeed?
how's the rattle/wobble on the scroll wheel when moving side to side ?
Hi, do you know how to clean the sides of the old version? :c
Good review, recently making the switch from Cougar to Logitech mice and you've helped a lot, thanks a lot man
Do you have any kailh 8.0 switches to compare with the new logitech opticals? How is the weight between the two?
8.0s feel lighter
Can the color of the single LED on the wired version be changed? All the photos just show green.
Got the G502X Lightspeed version in black (my first ever G502) and i'm freakin loving it. The only thing that stopped me buying a G502 before was the non-removable sniper&thumb button on the side. Absolutely hated it. Now that they've pulled a razer on that thing (on Basilisk Ultimate it is removable), got it ASAP. Using a Razer Basilisk Ultimate on the side and i must say that mouse has a very unstable scrolling experience. You cannot switch weapons in games only relying on the scroll wheel steps because it is not registering scrolls until you push the wheel a little bit further in order to complete its registering... When i opened it up i saw that it's using a cheap potentiometer system rather than an Optical encoder like Logi products. And that potentiometer is wiggling back and forth as you scroll the wheel causing those scroll skips. I've managed to tuck a toothpick (yes a freakin toothpick) in the enclosure in order to prevent it to wiggle, and it improved the scroll skips to a managable degree. If anyone is interested in it i can send photos of it. Anyway, stay away from Basilisk ultimate and V2. Stick to G502X.
Wow sir, you actually opened the mouse and looked into it? Have you opened any g502 mice before? I'm more curious to know what the insides of one looks like.
@@leejohnshen6051 are you being sarcastic? i've meant disassembly... and i disassembled tons of mice before, just never a G502, this X model is my first G502. And it is perfect for now, no need to tear one up. I only disassemble mice if there is somekind of switch failure, wheel problem etc. Usually just spray some contact cleaner and let it dry. Or solder new switches and stuff.
@@buraktabakoglu No I’m not, I’ve never disassemble any mice before, mainly because of not knowing how to safely do it, and being afraid that I might damage some delicate things in them. The mess on the outside are not difficult to deal with, but I live in a tropical country and dusts gathers rather easily at where I am, I bet they have a very good chance to end up inside the mouse.

My only complaint about the RGB on the X Plus is that the Logitech "G" logo isn't RGB as well, it should be
are you even gonna look at the mouse or the screen anyway
Funny thing is, I bought the G502 X the moment it was available and.. while the weight difference and new feet are excellent features... That "RGB strip line" is so annoying for my hand. It gnaws into the palm, making palm grip uncomfortable.
You can get the lightspeed
@@frickyyysasah3719 Doesn't fix the weight or feet problem, if you mean the original Lightspeed. And G502 X Lightspeed has the same issues i have with the wired X. Not sure what you're getting at here matey.
soft.
cry, get some other one. its perfect for me
Sensitive hands lol
so i added the g502 x plus to my collection and so far i love it.. also have the g303 shroud edition, and just got rid of my black superlight and picked up the magenta one.. its hard to pick a favorite lol..
The G502 X Plus is simply a more expensive option to push the price of the G502X up while making it seem cheaper at the same time. I forgot the marketing term for this practice, but many companies sadly do this
you seem like a smart person, what do you think of the razor viper mini?
Does this mouse go sleep after sometime , if not used? Can we modify the time to go sleep?
which is best redragon sniper or glorious o
Man, no weights was a deal breaker for me since i use them on my g502.
Is the 502 still powerplay compatible ?
the only difference to write home about the g502 x is the new optical switches which should _FINALLY_ be resilient to the double-clicking issues that have plagued their mice for years now. i've had an optical switch keyboard for about 3 years now and it finally solved chattering compared to normal mx cherry.
that's awesome to know, my 502 gives me the shits with the double clicking unless i absolutely mash the button
I use the rgb on my 502 ONLY to have a visual representation of my current profile, so if my profile wasn't changed while starting a game I'd instantly know and will be able to turn it on manually. Other than that I also don't care for rgb. So if I want to have that feature I'd have to go for the rgb version, because the other ones have 0 lights to indicate that.
If the cord on the wired version is light enough like the ones used on ultra light mice, then I feel that would be the best edition. 89 grams is definitely noticeably lighter than 100 grams and the price difference is huge too.
I agree usually prefer a mouse that I never have to charge too. They did come up with a solution to this though with the charging mat but then you're spending hundreds more for essentially being wireless. I like nice things but you're talking $250 vs $60 just so it's wireless it's a no brainer to me.
Wire doesn't bother me at all. But problem for me that both g502 and g910 keyboard do not work ok. I might jump to the g815 linear and wired version of this.
Are there any good gaming mice with the same kind of no friction scroll wheels that you can find on the Logitc mice?
razer basilisk v3 pro has a tensioner you can make it spin freely or clicky
Nice video, Thanks what is that 4:59 its a mousepad ? If yes please give me The name of that Looks good😊
I've had my G502 for 6 years and have no idea what you are talking about "sticky" rubber sides. They are worn, but perfectly contoured to my hand like a leather glove - not sticky for me at all. The heavy weight is the real problem, which the new G502x fixes (89g).
I do understand it may be sticky if people have a sweaty hand....?🤔
the g502 was an amazing mouse. you could remap those keys to other buttons like numpad controls on caming profiles and change profiles for like editing or stuff. those dpi buttons are useless so i remapped them everywhere and now i use then all the time. feeling like the 502 x is just a refined version. also can't live with a mouse again now with less buttons hahaha
you can even have a g-shift button to double the imputs! I picked one up the old lightspeed one on sale from bestbuy for $90 and its beautiful!
I’ve had mine for a while now, main complain is the scroll wheel, dpi buttons. The free scroll wheel is something I don’t enjoy purely because I do play shooters, can’t be y-y 360 no scoping everybody ya know? I also find myself accidentally changing dpi and I have yet to change it in the profile (postal employee, sorry sometimes just wanna game) so I know it’s more of my fault than the mouse, but unlucky I have to change it. Overall though, I do enjoy the mouse, I wish I would have invested in the death adder v3 purely because I loved the v2 so much. But the mouse after I disable the scroll wheel, the mouse feels great in my hand as I have larger hands than most, the clocks feel great for my bigger palm grip, because I push towards the end of the buttons, the battery lasts me hours and I charge maybe weekly. I did have a lot of customization to it as we, so it does feel very Personal when you make a profile. It does have add-able weights to make heavier but although I find it fine. Overall I would say 7-10. Overall great feel besides scroll wheel, and goddamn was it expensive lol
I just bought x version after 3 years of original and what is problem for me, not mentioned anywhere, left main button is smaller than use to be approx 0.5cm at the front edge. When I click on the left main button, I am touching side button!!! Did not happen with original one.
So if I have the old classic g502 mouse is the sensor or anything make it worth it to upgrade?
Yes, it's a much superior upgrade.
butons G6, G7, G8, G9 are programmable ?
Not only rgb is difference. Also G502 lightspeed has micro usb instead of type c like 502plus has.
I have got the wired one. Its great and finally light. I had old one.
Not a single reviewer mentions that it's wider. I have big hands and I didn't know about this mouse until I tried it the other day, it's not bad! Matter fact, I like it more than the Corsair Ironclaw which was the best for big hands a year ago, but the scroll wheel breaks easily on it.
The side dpi buttons i rebound to click or disabled them
How does the shape compares to g703??
I love all my g5xx mice.. Especially my g502 lightspeed. Honestly the best mouse Ive ever owned. I also personally love the rubber on the mouse, as it makes it feel more premium and definitely does improve grip. I had to add this, when blowing air on the mouse and it sounds like a Lambo reving and taking off, your words "just doesn't have the same umph as the old one " had me dying.
interesting my wired none rgb 502x cost about £55 and I bought for the single function it has that no other Logitech mouse has, and that is the mouse wheel scroll can be bound to buttons, It was possible to do with other Logitech mice but only through script. But.. although I have NEVER had a problem with any Logitech mouse double clicking, the 502X is the only mouse I have ever owned that fails to click on a very regular occurrence
Question: does it work with the powerplay mousepad? I am assume I will, but I have found an answer to this question. Thank you!
Yes it does
so how good (reliable/durable) are the switches compared to the old g502? the switches on my current g502 crapped out after about a year, as did most mice i had in the past, mostly double clicking and the like. if these are better I would be willing to buy it. dont care about the wireless versions so moneywise its not much. anyone?
Year late lol but these have optical switches, they literally can't have double clicking issues
What's that grey geometric mouse pad you're using? Know the brand?
Hystar deskpad. I don't use it for games, just for the purpose of recording videos.
The dpi you can disable, and rebind for custom macros
Doesn't really change the fact that they might be easy to miss click.
@@DiscoLucas only way you miss click it is if you're a fat whale and have fat fingers.
I use the rgb on the regular g502 to let me know if my per game profile did actually fire off. When my profile is in desktop mode I have the lights on the mouse set to red and when its running a custom profile for a game its green. Ghub is so trash and unreliable this became necessary to tell what profile the mouse is running. So rgb for looks is unnecessary but at least with my standard g502 and other peripherals like my keyboard rgb does a great job of communicating what color coded profile is running. So rgb can be practical. When it comes to my peripherals I couldn't live without it.
G hub is so dogshit, I'm so disappointed i had to switch from LGS after i got the g303....
I rarely ever had any problem with G Hub profile switching between apps with my G304 and G402.
I have tremours in both of my hands and I basically can't use light mice (and it sucks) I also really like the way it looks coming from a mx master 3 its nice
Would you replace say...g700s with the wireless version of this mouse....asking for a friend 😜
If you’re coming from the G502 Lightspeed Edition you can change the bottom cover that holds the USB dongle on the G502X(+) (which is pure crap plastic compared to the rest of the mouse) with the one from the G502 Lightspeed that has the two weight slots in it (and is much better quality plastic) and you get a pretty good feeling mouse that isn’t so heavy that movement feels sluggish, but not so light to the point you feel like you could chuck the mouse off your desk.
While this is sound advice, why would I ever buy the G502x if I already own the Lightspeed?
@@HelloImCrimson for the optical sensors, usb C charging, and swapple "sniper" button (i use mine for PTT) in game. im really tempted to upgrade
I put some lubricant oil on the front wheel because it was squeeking and now it doesn't scroll up or down consistently. At least it doesn't squeak as much but now I'm sad I can't scroll t.t
Will u test the Roccat Kone XP Air?
Probably.
@@DiamondLobbyReviews would be cool to know your opinion, it’s a nice alternative to the BSK V3 Pro or G502 X Plus :)
G502 X Plus can be charged with powerplay pad?
Yeah it can! I have own powerplay mat and this mouse
The naming is very confusing. Do the G 502 X Plus have lightspeed or not?
G502 X plus = wireless with RGB G502 X Lightspeed = wireless no RGB
In g502 scroll wheel is too stiff to strafe jump in apex. Will it be possible with this one?
Yeah it's fine
I bought this to replace my g502 light speed and realized that it doesn’t have wireless charging so my power play mouse pad is basically useless now so that kinda sucks
I’ve been using Corsair mice all my pc life, i recently jumped to the Logitech g502 x plus and it’s a night and day difference, I don’t know about other Logitech mice but this mouse mops the floor with all the Corsair mice I’ve had and used. My personal favorite out of all the Corsair mice was the dark core pro rgb cause of the heft and reliability. But this mouse, just wow, guess I’m using Logitech mice from now on, idk about keyboards yet tho lol
The hybrid switches really make a difference in feel, plus Corsair's behind in terms of shape and comfort design. Corsair's keyboards are clearly ahead of Logitech for me, though.
Love the content. Honestly much more entertaining than most other reviews, keep it up!
So with would u pick the X or the lightspeed
Lightspeed
i really like your review, very informative and funny at the same time 😀
i miss the dpi indicator from the old 502
I bought the plus just to spite you and myself at the same time.
So would you say the Basilisk v3 Pro is better than this?
You'll have to wait for the review my friend.
@@DiamondLobbyReviews Alright thanks, do you know when its coming out?
I agree, If you don't care about a light that will drain battery go buy a lightspeed version insteed. And that's going to be my choice in the future.
Got mine and the right click doesn't work. If i turn it off and leave it alone for a few hours the right click starts to work for roughly 10 to 30 minutes.
As someone who still uses controller to play games and is becoming an animator/3d artist, I'm totally satisfied 😌
i tried getting into light weight mice but i can’t do it. i don’t play shooters like that anymore too so i said to myself it’s to wrap it up and go back to what im comfortable with. i also really don’t like is any honey comb pattern mice too. i don’t like having holes on my mice. it gives me a heart attack when i have any kind of liquid near them. oh well. i’ll be sticking to this mouse for awhile.
It would be great if the thumb rest could be unmounted.
Ive had an old G502 Lightspeed for years now, its been my main mouse for a long time, and it needs to be retired, poor thing has some clicks not register, while other clicks double, and the rubber on the sides has been wearing off that all the original triangle patterns are just gone, and parts of the rubber are just falling off. I think its time for a replacement.
Well ive had the 502 old version after i only had g pros and i was so annoyed of the poor quality im now switching back to the 502 new version
I'm just trying to find a mouse that fits my giant hands better. There are mice out there for large hands but nothing with gaming features (shortcut buttons, precision dpi, etc)
Coming off a wired G502 Hero that’s a several year old tank, I purchased a wireless G502 X without the RGB. Love the hero, so I’m sure I’ll love this too. All of these mouse videos I’ve watched featuring lightweight mice, with two side buttons seem to be geared for the competitive shooter market. I tried that route, but I vastly prefer being able to load plenty of in game actions to my mouse.
Same
How are you finding it a month later? I've got a wired G502 Hero and it's on its way out, thinking of getting a G502X, not sure if I'll go wired or wireless yet
Rubber Triangles on the old G502? I've had mine for so long its a completely smooth surface by now
as someone who had both the x is a wonderful mouse i put superglide feet and some additional grips on it. how in the fk do you miss click the dpi buttons??? with the powerplay mat i never have to worry about batt life. Its def biult much better than the original. idk what i would do without the free spin scroll wheel now i use it all the time. I am thinking about getting a 50g mouse for some shooters tough want to try it out
I prefer textured plastic for side grips. Rubber after wore out feels sticky and dirty. Holes and gaps also gets dirty over time and very time consuming when cleaning. I prefer this design but I hope it gets more minimalistic with less unnecessary gaps and holes around the body.
I have G502 Lightspeed for more than 2 years and I never have issue with the rubber, The grip is nice and better than regular plastic and I never really have any issue with dirt, just don't eat with hands while you playing :D You can get some air duster and easily clean it. What is worse are those garbage switches, it starting double clicking. I hope that the new X version have better switches.
I spent most of the video trying to figure out the tattoo. Kinda forgot to pay attention to the mouse. But I think I got it! The Tattoo is seawater, right?
What about the G502X Lightspeed?
I'd say that's ok. But the mouse buttons themselves have a lot of pre travel on them. If it's the shape you want I'd say the glorious model I or the Basilisk V3 pro would be better.
best review ive watched, i feel like the non rgb is even better as its 7g lighter! mine comes on thursday :)
what do you think about it so far?
@@rubysamurai306 Well... First of all the good. It's a lot lighter, a little smaller, and it looks super clean. The improved skates are a huge improvement for glide and movement. As I came from wired g502 to wireless usb c it's a nice change. The scroll wheel feels a lot less clunky. I'll repeat the skates are a HUGE improvement. The bad is The optical switches are a bit pingy/twangy and metal spring sounding. I would also say it doesn't fit in my hand as well as the g502 hero my pinky kind of hangs. But not sure if that is something that I'll get used to or not. Things to note. The side buttons are a bit different. (from back to front) The mouse4 button feels the same. The mouse5 is thinner which is kind of like a g604 side button. The sniper button feels a lot better on the tip of the thumb also. The top buttons feel a bit thinner as well but are a nice change. For reference, I do editing and play world of warcraft with lots of buttons bound onto my mouse.
I feel like I am the only one that doesnt remap the DPI buttons to something else like CTRL+V and Enter. I set it to 1 DPI and use that for everything else, I barely every "shift" DPI. Even when Sniping I just use like 3000 for desktop and Max DPI in-game and set in-game sens to 1 or as low as possible. I've never really needed to "shift" dpi whilst in a game.
Thanks for the giggles and thorough review! :)
It's awesome mouse, but why on earth they didn't change the wheel to regular one? I hate those huge steps and loud noise. I am not sure if reduced weight is a good thing. I have not tried this X version, but I have regular G502 wireless.
Reduced weight is an absolute bonus. The "heavy is better" shit is mostly from g502 owners coping because they blew loads of money on a 6 year old aliexpress looking mouse.
@@yhiz4757 You comment is not based on facts, it's based on your emotions. Heavier mouse creates feeling of premium, this is not only related to mice, but almost all the products. When the product is made with good materials, it weights more and is not breaking as easily. There is an argument that lighter mouse is easier on your wrist and maybe faster to move and easier to stop the movement, but I have not seen any result based evidence on that and supporting lighter mice, which feel more cheap. Holes in the mouse creates obvious downfalls like dirt dropping inside the mouse, which may cause malfuctinon in long run and also edges of the holes is harder to clean and it feels awkward against your skin. Increased breathability is probably a good thing. G502 is the best mouse, if you want that type of button layout, which I do want. Also the shape is really ergonomic comparet to many other mice, if your hand is correct size. G502 is not perfect, but the best out there right now.
@@xvnbm I admit that there should be more lightweight mice with the g502's button layout but it's still objectively a dogshit mouse in 2023 overall.
@@xvnbm the amount of copium from g502 users is crazy though man. The amount of reports I've seen of g502's double clicking and ive literally watched someone who's main button plastic broke off from clicking. The g502 is a cheap PoS and really shouldn't be recommended in 2023 not for any use case. There are alternative button layouts and yes personally I would love more mice with 3 or more side buttons but I'd rather not end up like my dad (who has bad RSI after years of office work). Also the shape really isn't that ergonomic, just because it has a shitty thumb rest doesn't mean it's made to fit the shape of your hand like zowies mice or the deathadder v3 pro is.
@@yhiz4757 Your opinion is biased, because the amount of G502 out there. If there is one bad patch, internet is full of complains about that and they remain even though the problem is fixed. I have been using G502 for about 10 years and I have no problem with clicking. The mouse wheel was poor and I think it still is poor, but they changed the material, which probably makes it last longer, I still don't like how scrolling feels, I changed G500 wheel to my old G502 and it was much better and also much better than this new G502 wheel. Some people cannot handle their mice probably and then buttons can come of. Nothing like that has happened to me in 10 years of use. I bought a new G502, because I wanted to go wireless. My old G502 is still working, but it took some damage when I opened it to change a wheel. That is another con in this mouse (probably in most the mice), it is hard to open without breaking it. You are right that shape is not that ergonomic, but more ergonomic mice are not gaming mice, this is probably the most ergonomic gaming mouse or at least in top 5. Thumb rest is really good. Fit to your hand is subjective, because we have different hands.
Diamond Lobby like the grip texture on the OG 502 so much that he had it tattooed on his left hand.
That scroll wheel sounds like a big ol turbo with a ported shroud 😭😭
RgB is more reasonable on wired version but it lacks one 😵💫
damn it i want to buy it buy it looks like they aren't releasing the lightspeed in australia only the wired and the plus
There's a few places in Australia that have them listed as "Logitech G502 X Gaming Mouse"
If i only look at the new version i dont like the buttons next to the main button. They are to long to be a quick function. And less raised. I owned the original 502, Prometheus, hero and the lightspeed. And they always been the best for me. If this is the new road logitech is following also with the new g7** headset gaming keyboard and the mouses then this was the last time i went for logitech
What’s a better alternative then?
Basilisk V3 pro is looking pretty spicy
If you bothered to watch the video, he says don't get the plus version and get the non-plus one to save money since the only difference is the rgb.
@@FrostArchon if you bothered to learn english you would understand that i am just asking for an alternative.
If you liked the 502 (which is the best id ever used) you will like this one. Its a bit overpriced but is great overall and i would buy it again.
i love the g502 but the X version is way too overprice and way worse than non X version imo. if it way a 30€ mouse why not but it's not
@@maximes2613 What makes you say it's worse than the non X version? From everything I can see it just seems like an upgrade besides the removed weights.
@@daveharrenburg7670 the build quality feels cheap, the switches feels cheap and the mouse wheel is worse than the non X version, all for the same price and with no lights (I know the last one is not really an argument but at this price range u would expect it), speaking for the wired version because 160€ a mouse wtf
@@daveharrenburg7670 Yeah saying its worse and not giving a reason is moronic.
This redesign feels like two steps forward and one step backward, and significantly more expensive than the regularly discounted G502.
I got mine for 96USD shipped, about the same i paid for the old one
@@H31MU7 where xd
Do people really change there DPI on the fly? I never understood why so many mouses have the dpi shift buttons. So pointless.
i do it constantly between photoshop and gaming i use between 400-1600 dpi
I just got mine today, would I pay for rgb again? ig yes but only with the white version since with it turned off it doesn't look much different to the non rgb model color wise, and effects are actually pretty nice, especially that new pulsar thing or whatever they call it. I liked old scroll wheel better because it was easier to press due to it's weight, and you could actually feel it spinning in free scroll mode, where's this one doesnt feel like it'd doing anything. I have one thing that annoys me, dpi buttons are poorly designed, while they look good you have to do some weird finger movement to press dpi down and i dont really have my whole palm on the surface of the mouse so I have it easier than most of it's target group. Why is this so important? well even in their software buttons that were hinted to be put over dpi functionality were 1 and 2 which are used for weapon switching, something that was easy to do on 1st and 2nd gen 502 and here it's a bit complicated with the increased size of dpi up. Other than that this mouse is 10/10 in all of it's configurations.
It's probably heavily dependent on your grip, but I've found that button easy to hit with my thumb if that helps. But you are right, it was a weird adjustment with the DOWN sitting a little further back. A suggestion: swap those dpi buttons to numpad buttons and keybind the respective numpad buttons in whatever game you are playing. I use Num+ and Num- for DPI UP/DOWN respectively and then swap the in game keybinding for whatever I want to Num+ and Num- depending. Keybinds for 1 and 2 are a lot of time ingrained in certain games and that sounds finicky. YMMV, obviously, mice and their configurations are a very subjective thing.
