5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding
Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2024
This is an excellent mouse. It might not be the absolute best mouse for competitive gaming, but it still performs very well. Rtings ranks this as the "best wired mouse" which it absolutely deserves. Tracking is excellent and the ergonomics are great. The rubber grips are nicer and don't wear out quickly like my G403/G703 did. Given that it uses optical switches, I expect it to not start double-clicking like all my other Logitech mice, but we'll see about that.

The best part about it is the amount of buttons and general utility it provides for non-gaming tasks. The scroll wheel unlocks and can spin at high speeds, and it can tilt left and right for horizontal scrolling. You have three thumb buttons, two extra buttons next to the left mouse button, and a middle button below the scroll wheel toggle. All of the buttons can be rebound, and you can also have an extra "layer" of buttons that can be switched to when a specific button is held (I use the "sniper" button for this). This means you get a ton of easily-accessible shortcuts which makes navigating web pages or documents very convenient.

Only two possible downsides to consider: it's wired, but the cable is very thin and light, and not having to charge ever is a big plus. There's also no RGB, which isn't a deal-breaker for me but some might find it disappointing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love this mouse! Huge upgrade from my G402
Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2022
Before buying this mouse, I was a G402 user since 2015 and as most button switches including the primary ones reached EOL. I was definitely sure that my next upgrade's gonna be the renowned G502 series.

I was very excited when Logitech announced the new G502X but due to the pricing, I wanted to try the older G502 Hero first when it went on sale at $35 recently. The G502 Hero felt pretty similar to G402 in terms of ergonomics with small improvements in accessibility of side buttons. But I felt the mouse was heavy even without the weights and didn't like the metal scroll wheel. Even the RGB fun faded off just after a few hours and honestly found it distracting. (After 3 days of using).

So I wanted to try the wired G502X as well and decided to return one of them at the end. After trying out the G502X, I felt the improvements addressed every shortcoming G502 Hero and G402 did for me.

The new shape offers much better support to the left part of palm (Just below index finger) with some increased height there. The DPI shift button, the side buttons, especially the ones next to left click felt even more accessible and practical to use them more than ever before. The new switches feel more clicky, tactile and satisfying but needs a bit more effort to click. Should see how long these switch will last in the long run.

The lightened scroll wheel with rubber grip feels more mature, the feel of ratcheted mode is lighter yet snappy and satisfying. Can assign custom scroll functions. And the overall aesthetic feels really mature and evolved, ready for the future.

I usually have a mixture of palm and finger grip and the mouse perfectly fits in with the improvement in right part of the palm (Just below index finger) support and quickly got used to the feel of mouse (Usually a few minutes of break-in time). The skates are much larger and a huge step-up. The mouse glides much smoother which complements well with the lighter weight of mouse (Lighter than both G402 and G502 hero).

But also, the wired G502X is expensive, no RGB but most notably the cable is a bit worrisome. I still would prefer the wired version just for the years of life one can squeeze out without worrying about battery wear.

Finally, I returned the G502 Hero and am gonna use the G502X for the coming years. Despite the price, I don't regret it. It's an agile mouse with a ton of functionality. If you are upgrading from an older mouse like me or a lower-end/basic one, go directly for this. But if you're already happy with the older G502/similar, need for this mouse is much weaker and it's up to you.

Thank you for reading so far. Happy holidays!

I've never really used a G502 up until now, and the mice I typically used before in the past were from Razer, and this was a stepping stone from the Viper Mini.

First things I've noticed were the lack of a braided cable, and compared to a mouse that I bought two years ago for $25, it's kind of a shame it isn't commonplace on a mouse of this price, and honestly I doubt it would've costed them that much anyways.

Second, is the material quality and texture, with this feeling firm feeling and also being smooth to the touch, and this in turn makes it incredibly easy to get smudgey after a while of use. Not really a dealbreaker since it is a mouse after all. Ergonomically, it does feel comfortable with the rubbery bits on the side to help retain grip, so you shouldn't really need grip tape unless you have slippery or smaller hands.

Third is the sound, and I think it's a tad bit louder than I'm used to, but I'm unsure whether or not in time this will break in and become quieter or softer. I do trust these to be much more durable as these do use optical switches, so there shouldn't be any double clicking business going on here. The scroll wheel is the main reason why I bought it, but the scroll lock button/switch is a bit loud, but it does do the job and work fine.

Finally to wrap it up, I think this is a fairly good mouse for the price, even with some of the faults and issues I've mentioned in this review. It does well for gaming, office tasks, and generally is just a great all-rounder if you want a mouse without RGB, weights, and just something that works out of the box without much configuration.
