- Buy this instead: geni.us/bpLTA (aff). The Logitech G502 will go down in history along with the MX518 as being a legendary mouse. But is it because of the crippling hand related ailments it's going to cause in the future? Or is it a genuinely good mouse that deserves it's praise? What do you think, is the Logitech G502 still worth it? Let us know in the comments.

Stop disabling the dpi buttons, and instead use them for keys. The button layout is, imo, the reason this mouse is top tier.

For PC, I used them for copy&paste and while holding the sniper button(g shift) I use them for volume up and down and side click mouse wheel for previous and next song/video.
I also use them for gaming.
@@DaCom3AK lmao same it makes copy pasting a lot faster
I use the button next to left click for grenades or melee but the one below it is pretty unusable (cant comfortably reach it without shifting hand) so I don't use it.
Use them to adjust volume up and down, your welcome !
2022 fembro problems - the mouse is too heavy for my wrist muscles
I hate lightweight mouses, it's like a car I want to feel my movements into the smallest details..
I feel with a lightweight mouse I am not in contact with the game sort of speak.
@@Limburg92This guy in the video must be an absolute weakling complaining about moving something around that weighs 120 GRAMS, embarrassing!!!
yes it can be ... different pepple likes different things ... for me as cable mouse its heavy but it needs to be because of cable and if with battery its even heavier ... and I like heavy cable mouses or v light wireles mouses :)
you know what, people back in the days complain that a light mouse is bad, now they are complaining that a heavy mouse is bad, smh

Before you buy this mouse, ask yourself; can you trust the judgement of someone who has that hideous hand tattoo?
Certainly not!
Why would it matter? It's just a mouse.
But, I disagree, buy the G502
LOL
Lmao what? And i wouldnt trust someone who is actually good? Why is it that the general population is so brainrot, and that no good, top players use this mouse? Do you not understand that there is an OBVIOUS reason as why this isnt used in real competitive fps? Which was his point.
😂😂
The weight is pretty helpful for people with slightly shaky grip or similar issues. Lighter mice have been problematic for me in the past just because of how easily I could knock myself out of alignment for a shot. Otherwise solid review, the braided cable version is better.
So your problem then not the weight of the mouse
@@robertojustus8567 Yes, and it's not something I can fix about myself, so I use a heavier mouse to mitigate the issue, just like if have bad eyesight you use glasses.
Same here i usually find lighter mouse to be kinda weird to handle and the shaky feeling is relatable. This mouse feels right while playing games or even doing anything.
Same, just recently got this mouse and it improved my aim because of not only I can properly palm grip now, but also how heavier it is making my aim more stable compared to my previous mouse (G300s).
That is exactly why the weights are designed for. Example for me, after hitting the gym, my FPS accuracy drops a lot due to shaking. I install the weights then my shakiness goes away. The next day when I wake up, the mouse feels heavy, to which I then now pop out the additional weights. pretty convenient if u ask me.
Everything you've said about this mouse just sounds like a personal problem. The only issues i've had with my g502 were the mouse feet and the scroll wheel whipping left and right cause i use low sensitivity, each of those things i can just turn off/swap out. It's a mouse, it isn't that heavy lmao. The buttons are also reprogrammable so all those DPI buttons don't have to be DPI buttons. Cable has also never been an issue, your setup is probably just bad - i don't even use a cable bungee
"everything you said sounds like a personal problem. here is mine..."
@@FlamencoDeniz there's no such thing as an objectively good mouse unless you only compare the sensors. Every bad thing he's said about it are all personal issues lol. The point is that it just seems like the video is just full of meaningless complaints

@@NUMBER-pj4rf practically the best mouse of the world, just the only thing i dont like is the rubber cable and a little bit the weight
@@NUMBER-pj4rf yes, that is if your grip is palm grip.
I feel like this would've been the best mouse for me if it didn't have rubber on the right side. Does that annoy you at all (I've been considering this mouse for quite a while now not sure if I should get it over Glorious model I or viper mini which I haven't tested)
@@Marstio1 it does not annoyed me for the 2 years of me using the mouse, in my case i am using the protest spectrum
Weight is really a personal pref. Low weight mice is a more recent thing in the last 5 years or so and I've noticed that it came about the same time companies started to make quality soft mouse pads. However, soft pads usually have more friction than hard pads so I've always felt there was a correlation. I've always said a good low friction mouse pad negates any weight issues of a heavier mouse.
The most ridiculous complaints, at first it even seemed that you was trying to be funny. This mouse indeed have issues, but not those you mentioned.
just cant handle FACTS
@@DiamondLobbyReviews Well, no. Your opinion isn't facts. Your bias is clear, you don't like and that's fine really. But most of your points about it are just that, your biased opinion.
You can't name a real issue with it that's the only fact here.
(TIP: You would be somewhat right if you criticized the choice of switches here, as they're old/cheap versions of Omrons, like mx500/10/18/g400...)
Its an overpriced piece of plastic. Should be logitechs motto.
This is literally the best mouse i ever owned, as a warthunder air main having 11 buttons on it with very comfortable layout is just incredible, its also very very useful when editing cause you can just map so many settings to it
Yessir war thunder our hellscape of fun run by big snail.
the mouse that starts doubleclicking after a month and tripple clicking after two in half a years the digusting rubber starts to deteriorate and that when you don't give it to greasy gamurbois with lube who never wash their hands ever
I can attest to this. G502 buttons are extremely useful for binding fire control settings and aircraft engine controls
Big brain idea: workout only your right arm, 3 days a week. By the time a flagship mouse like this comes down to 60g, you'll be a man, who don't need it
But by that time my strength will have no boundaries and I'll live an existence where I can destroy anything with a wave of my hand.

@@Boofskidepends on your grip. If you need a lighter mouse, get a lighter mouse. Don't try to change the market because of your disabilities.
@@pablolocles9382 no it doesn’t depend on your grip, you just don’t need to be a little dweeb about it, btw the only disability that comes from wrist curling half a stack is dis-ability to take your bitch
I use G502 and G305.
The G502 is a VERY good mouse for productive use and games that don't aren't focused on aiming skills. The extra butons are very useful for web browsing and productive work. On my mouse, the sideways scrollwheel clicks are the back and forward buttons. The thumb side buttons are copy, paste and enter. The side buttons of left click are undo and redo.
The G305 is used for fps games and for portability. It's a great mouse for laptops and it turns off after 5 minutes of inactivity. But it turns on immediately if you move it, so it's seamless. The stock battery lasted more than 3 months of exclusive use (only started using G502 recently) and you can easily squeeze out 1 month of battery life out of a AAA battery. The stock feet are a bit annoying, as they have a small surface area, and can sort of dig into the mouse pad, increasing the friction resistance. Using a fingertip grip has fixed this issue.
Overall, G502 is an extremely good mouse for productivity and games that aren't competitive fps's.
what mouse do you reccomend for fps like call of duty,im using the 502 heroe is work ok,today i just ordered the 502 x
The G502 is amazing in terms of ergonomics and longevity but it has some flaws like the awful cable, mouse feet or weight. All of it are now solved with the new G502 X which have a new flex cable, PTFE mouse feet and a weight of only 89g. It also have new switches and a improved shape for 80€.

100% not designed for you, for MMO's or actual productivity users rather than the very narrow focus you have that actually has specific mice for your use case. Some of us actually have wrists not made of glass so the weight is no drama and feels far less cheap than all the superlight mice that feel like they should be $20 at most.
I used this mouse for about a year now and it has been the best mouse I have had over the past 30 years. It didn't survive a plunge into a glass of water but that was to be expected.

Too much effort to move around? Stop using a sandpaper mouse pad and strengthen up your baby wrists. My 13 year old niece uses this mouse and loves how fast it is to move around compared to some others. I have an IT friend with 0 muscles and he insists on using it with all the weights in it.
I've been using it for years and love it and I'm not a Logitech fanboy. It's just a damn good mouse.
only things that matter in a review and everyone should always say it
How much does it cost?
How long does it last before it breaks?
Does the scroll wheel last long without issues?
Does the pressing/bottoms last long without issues?
everything else is pointless and of no importance, the mouse can be super heavy, hard cable, many bottoms or few, but in the end if lets say i pay 40€ and the mouse lasts 5 years without 1 single problem then it's the best mouse ever no contest there, wish reviews actually went into durability instead of minutes and minutes of "don't like this, has bottoms here and there blabla"
well, the G502 Hero has a double click problem, the mouse feets actually get really bad overtime, the scroll wheel is just really bad
I've been using it for 2 years now and I'm just so disappointed, can't wait to get a new one honestly
In terms of the button layouts, there really aren't any, if at all, modern mice that have similarly positioned buttons
I mainly prefer lighter mice, but when it comes to work + play nothing beats the 502 and 903
Using the G402 from 2015, G502 from 2019 and G502X for a while, the primary charm is definitely the ergonomic layout of the mouse and its buttons. I'm not an 'ubermensch' playing and acing all FPS games. I play them casually where the limitations of my mouse is far exceeded by limitations of my skill.
The extra buttons are laid very thoughtfully and I can always bind and use them easily, unlike a MOBA focused mouse, like for example, corsair Scimitar Pro. The scimitar's buttons were unwieldy and a chore to accurately use, and has been a waste of money for me. G502 is therefore the best mouse to buy if you need extra buttons close by. The weight is welcome because I use a very high sensitivity and can reach any point in my screen with small-ish movements. Not ideal for FPS but that's not my thing anyway. The poor build of the wire bugs me but I've made my peace with it. Though I would be really happy if they changed that. But on a day to day basis, I never notice the wire, and have never felt annoyed at the nonexistence of a braided cable.
The only gripe I've had with the series of mice is that the gunk and grime accumulating in the crevices are a real issue, I wouldn't mind if they turned their 'transformer' aesthetic down for practicality. And I've had to replace the switches after a few years because they started doubleclicking. But G502X has optical switches which should alleviate the issue. Otherwise, great mouse so far, and definitely worth it.
Just bought this mouse today. Love it! Good button layout, all reprogrammable. A little heavy. Responsive. Love the wheel. Most important, the right price. $35 bucks. Would have had to spend 2x as much for similar from any other brand.
Where'd you get that for 35$? Everywhere I've been at it costs 90$-130$.

@@ricedbroccoli Thank you for that suggestion
I tried a razer viper ultimate for about a year, and besides it being too small for my hands, it was also too light. Once it killed itself in 6 months (thanks razor) I grabbed one of these.
It’s everything I want in a mouse, solid build, extra buttons but not so many that you can’t keep track of them, heavy so I can actually feel my mouse, and large enough where my hand isn’t just on the mousepad the whole time.
It may not be for everyone, but this trend towards lower weight is just that: a trend. In reality some people like heavier mice and some like lighter. I personally run mine with all the weights in so it’s about 140g, and I love it. It also keeps my from using my wrist for aim, which in my case is relevant since I have had carpal tunnel before and don’t want to risk it again.
The 502 is a great mouse, with its largest downside being it’s driver software. It doesn’t match the trend of gaming mice right now, but I’d rather see more options than everyone trying to make the same thing. Variety is good for the customer.
I hate Razer / non reliable products.
Looks to me trivial and pretty much irrelevant.
Years ago I used to hang around with a guy who, hands down, was the best FPS player I ever came across. Be that IRL or online. Regardless of whether it was 1:1, DM or TDM he was wiping the floor with everyone. While people were talking about display response times, dpi sensitivities, how good a certain mouse was clicking... blah blah blah... he was perfectly comfortable with gaming on a 15" CRT monitor and two button PS/2 mouse. The guy was unplayable.
If you suck at driving a car owning a Lambo will make no difference.
The problem isn't the mouse or its weight, it's your grip. Palm grip requires you to move your wrist way more than fingertip grip where you just move the mouse under your hand by moving your fingers. It also extremely easy to make small movements that way.
The actual problem with the mouse is that the rubber grip for your thumb wears down after 3-4 years down to the bare plastic and the scroll wheel notches smooth down to a point where your finger slips over it.
This! I used logi M series with that rubber and it start to sink in aftet about 15 months
@@_MintArcade Are there any good mouse which doesnt have this problem? Or can you replace the rubber with something else? If this problem wouldn't exist you would never had to buy new mouse...
@@ecco512 just buy mouse without this rubber or use other brand.. as far as i know logi rubber mostly like that but im in a tropical environment
@@ecco512 You can buy grip tape and put it over the rubber bits so that you don't wear them down. Then you can switch out the grip tape every 5 months or so (or whenever it wears down). I did this after my g502 wore down. I just filled in the holes with some silicon filler and slapped some grips on. I've been using it this way for like 2 years now. I have a video about it on my channel if you are interested in seeing the process.
I personally like mice that are 110g or heavier, so the G502 is perfect for me. I've used mine since the original Proteus Core from 2013.
As a guy who's used the proteus core for 5 years until it got a doubleclick. The proteus core was king. The proteus core is the reason why it's so popular. The hero is hot garbage. Went through 3 of them in a span of 6 months. It has a horrible bug where it cancels your spray in FPS games. In the first month it's unnoticeable but after 2 months the mouse becomes garbage. Luckily the g502x fixed that issue for me.
@@NyangisKhan damn you must have gotten defective ones cause I got my hero like 3 years ago and it’s still running fine.
@@Bumblebee3491 If you have G hub installed you won't notice it much unless you play FPS and RTS games. It's a known bug with the switches they use. Hence why a lot of high end mice nowadays are using the 20M click omron witches instead of the 40M ones.
How ya'll keeping your mouses so long my g502 se started double clicking after 8 months 😭
@@epiccatfishlol Exactly dude! The G502 hero has a bug that causes doubleclicks early. I recommend updating your firmware and pray it fixes it. If it doesn't the G502X never gets doubleclicks as it's impossible on optical switches so I recommend getting that. Or giving the basilisk v3 a chance as it is a really good mouse just like the g502x.
EDIT: The g502 that lasted for years was the G502 Proteus spectrum *not* the g502 hero.
to me, it sounds like you got no strength in your arms if you think this mouse is like throwing a brick around
Not everyone has the same priorities as you. Not everyone is a competitive FPS player and needs an ultralight mouse with only the most basic features. The G502 isn't bad. It just isn't the mouse for you.
i actually don't like the ultralight mouses, when i shake the mouse shake like crazy too compared to heavier mouse where it is way more still.
He is stuck at that super light era mouse.
Plus 90% of the time i use this mouse for everything outside of gaming. I love all the buttons but i do wish it was lighter, the index finger click itself was much lighter and the mouse slid a little more easily but i recognises i do want a certain amount of grip to help with aiming.
you don't even need an ultra light weight mouse to be competitive. People just think they need one to be better but in reality they are just dogshit
The only thing i care about mice is their shape.
Or you know go to the gym and get some arm work outs done. You might even be able to lift a shopping bag not just move a mouse

Bought my G502 in 2016 and still using it. Need to upgrade because it only shows NOW after super heavy usage wear. The right mouse button isn't reliable anymore, it makes double-clicks and or none at all. I upgraded to a Deathadder V3 Pro and I agree with almost everything said in the video. I do not understand the dislikes because this mouse is too heavy, strains the wrist and causes damages. At least for me because I got fucking huge hands and the mouse is extremely small.
Yeah I changed to a Deathadder V3 Wired with a bungee and it was like a whole new world. I was always asking myself why I couldn't make microcorrections when aiming, the answer was that the mouse was too heavy to make them.
I have a G402, very similar to the G502, from day one, never got any problem with it. If it gets dirty I just clean it, Imagine that... The cable is not a problem at all, I have a lot of space in front of the mouse, never got problems with the button placement and I play a lot of FPS, I don't think that 120g (G502) or 109g (G402) is that heavy for a mouse, the rock that you tape on it is heavier and even though you could still move it...
"many buttons that are redundant " firstly there is no such thing as a redundant button in a gaming mouse just ones that aren't utilized , secondly try playing an FPS game like tarkov and then tell me you don't need additional buttons
Hell, I use like EIGHT buttons out of 11. Sometimes MORE!
Right click left click, volume up and down, middle click, copy and paste, enter, and 2 more buttons in a few games like War Thunder or Warframe.
I've been using it for 8 years now. What I like, the shape, placement and number of buttons, hefty scroll wheel, easy software, infinite scroll wheel and left and right buttons on it. What I dislike, flaky rubber, the crevices between the side buttons (it's a grime magnet), coating on the scroll wheel has worn off, teflon pads are too small and weird shape and also collect grime between the crevices, ideally the mouse bottom should be one big chunk of teflon. If I could make a custom version I'd remove the rubber completely and have a smooth surface instead of that triangle pattern, have machined stainless steel scroll wheel, improve the side buttons. Other than that it's a perfect mouse.
All of the drawbacks mentioned in this video are what I would condsider benefits.
The weight is what attracted me to it in the first place, the DPI is user selectable including the snipe button, the infinite scroll wheel is perfect for thrust control when flying in War Thunder and the new cable is better than the braided one as it gives less resistance on your desk.
I used this mouse exclusively for 4 years and came to just about all the same conclusions as you. Recently updated to a Pulsar X2H mini and have been loving how much easier it is to move around the mousepad. I have to imagine most of the people complaining in the comments are picking it up recently and haven't used other superlight mice, since it's fairly old by now it goes on sale for a low price pretty often these days. It's certainly not a bad mouse and will definitely get the job done, but there are other options that will likely be more useful to someone if they just spent a little more or did a little more research. My pulsar mouse was on sale for almost half off, and there were other models that were just about the same price as the G502 Hero.
Beta male weak wrist, and I excel in fps games with this mouse usually topping leaderboards in a variety of games, only thing you said I agree with is the dirt trapping, I rebound all those buttons for fps games so they are usable, for tarkov for example I use the two "DPI buttons" for my healing items
That’s cool bro! What games leaderboards do you top?
@@DiamondLobbyReviews halo for example just did a big team battle 42 kills 4 deaths. Pubg get chicken dinners all the time although it's too many bots these days so doesn't count as much, tarkov I wipe 4-5 man groups I just threw up a couple clips got heaps but they on my channel if you wanted to see, siege etc. Most of your good fps games I play don't touch cod though.
@@DiamondLobbyReviews my original comment sounded toxic but was a full response to everything you said haha, but yeah the gunk does get in the mouse at times and it's annoying to clean but that's the only downside I find with this mouse, the new version I will get is a bit better for that
My first car didn't have power steering. That was heavy...
grown man complains about not being capable of moving around 125g of plastic
The extra buttons are the selling point for me. I use g7 and g8 (next to mouse 1) for discord controls, and the scroll wheel left is pause music, scroll wheel right is next song. the 3 side buttons i use just like on other mice, but tbh the "sniper button" is just more comfortable for me so I rebound it and also use it for games
I honestly love the weight on gaming mouse, i hate the feeling of a light mouse, Then again i am a car mechanic so i got some arm strength.
Finaly, a man of my own taste. We have the same job and the weight of the mouse with the extra ones is not a problem.
A lot of people don’t recomend it for fps games like csgo, valorant… but for me works great when it comes to flick shots and stuff like this. Have great day mate.
some people can't use small mice like myself too. I'm 6'5 with big hands.
It's got an optical scroll wheel. I have 10+ mice with jumping scroll wheels. Even my latest razer viper v2 pro has a jumping scroll wheel encoder. My G502 with its optical encoder still works even after 5 years.
i bought this mouse because of the weight. but im sick strong af
Detach the lump of concrete from the mouse . . . it improves performance.
Dude is so weak that he can't move more than 100g, lol
Nah, but being serious, I never understood the thing for lightweight mice, I personally prefer them heavier.
Bought the first ever 502 a few months after it came out and still use it to this day (currently needing a replacement because it has started to get that horrible greasy feeling even though I clean it daily and I am very careful with not having dirty hands near my electronics. The mouse is top tier, extremely versatile, there are games where the amount of buttons really do help a lot, like on CoD Zombies, since you have easy access to the usual d-pad functions on your mouse hand, also, for creative suite purposes the buttons have been a huuuge time saver for me, the scroll wheel is also something I love about the mouse. I don't think it's overrated, it just isn't for someone like you that just prefers something simple and light.
Have g502 hero myself for 5 years, and completely agree with all points.
Especially weight, I have my right biceps bigger than left hand despite im training every day with 20kg both hands equal, only 120g makes such huge difference. Just imagine a guy who using two 502 in both hands he doesn't even need to go GYM!
You are wrong in all your points, and people have told you so, but I'm going to add my 2 cents about the cable.
Simply put, the braided cable sucks. That's it. It catches and frays with the woven border of mouse pads.
I even removed the braid from my original 2016 G502 "Proteus Spectrum" because its cable kept catching the border of my Steelseries mousepad.
Alright so, after watching the whole video, I do have many disagreements with some of your statements regarding the mouse, but I will start with what I DO agree with.
To give preface, I've been using the G502 Hero for about the last 2 years. I wholeheartedly agree that the cable is absolute hot dog water, but I've come up with a solution that has worked rather well for me to compensate where the cable lacks, and oh boy does it lack. The monitor I play most games on, including FPS, has a lil slot in it for cable management through the stand itself, which I fed the cable through and additionally to prevent more flip floppiness I've just stuck a small piece of tape over the cable attaching it to the base of the stand. It's by no means a perfect solution, but I have enough desk space that it's not a massive problem otherwise. The other thing that I agree with is that it definitely does get dirty, but I mean 5 minutes of cleaning every once in awhile never hurt anyone. The ability to unlock the wheel has also become useful in my job as of late, allowing me to efficiently scroll through massive amounts of bullshit with extreme speed.
Beyond that, I feel that the mouse, for me, is decently weighted on its own, and I have not added any weights. I play games such as Insurgency, Tarkov, CSGO, as well as some more casual games like Minecraft and Eve Online. For CS and Tarkov especially, I feel like the added weight does actually help quite a lot in keeping my movements steady and much smoother, because I don't end up having to re-micro adjust if I accidentally over adjust. I did used to play around with dpi quite a bit, but all under 1000dpi, until I settled on the dpi I liked most with the mouse which currently sits at 800. The mouse isn't uncomfortable in my hand whatsoever, and I feel as if my hands are larger than average. On a steelseries mouse pad, with the default feet the mouse glides incredibly smoothly. Now, I am by no means a pro, but of all the mice I have used in the past, it certainly has been the best for me. I'm not exactly the biggest fan of lighter mice though, so I will admit I'm biased there. However, I do believe your statement on the mouse taking considerably more effort to move is overexaggerated at best. Moving it takes a miniscule amount of effort, as with a lot of modern mice, and I am by no means fit. In fact, I'll be brutally honest and say I'm a fat fuck who hasn't worked out since 2019. I have had 0 issues with my wrist as a result of using the mouse, or in general. Thanks for the chad compliment though
it's a great mouse. I'm a pretty nervous shooter, I need slow sensitivity/dpi, and the weight is a plus for me. You can choose how fast to move your mouse. It's not like the weight of the mouse is hindering how fast you can move it, unless you're really weak lol. Mouse weight is the most overhyped attribute.
It’s me. I’m the reason. I started the whole “g502 master race” thing. I’m sorry.
Yes light mouse is good but if you prefer cable then it will be affected by it weight or other forces from it when its folded by your movement then it good to have heavy mouse... then If mouse use batteries then its not light anymore ... more batteries more weight more work time! Also good plastick weight a bit and if you want to make it lighter you need to or use slighty les plastic = it would not be strudy or/and use some structurizing to make structure light and durable at same time. This mouse for me is ok.
In term of roller - I bought it because of it ... why ? Im working with tons of code so scroling for me through like 1000 lines of code one hand is faster thant using keyboard combination to go to the line (maybe it wouldntbe if I would know which line I would go exactly) so at same time Im making sip of tea or juice or just scratching bottom :P. So I love its so super fast to scrol and at same time this lock mechanism to make it heh click - of course this mode could be littme more smotther but its ok'isch for my taste.
swift change of its programable speeds is v v v nice for gaming experience as well as working for me is nice.
Plastic is super nice in touch and not leaving musges after touch!
Then minuses for me from greatest to not so problematic:
1. Logitech app id influence some of my older programs like msiafterburner - I cannot open it anymore because of some visual C++ problem induced by logitech - but the list of problems with some application is greater - because I use old windows and older application because I do not like to be imposed windows 10 or 11 my freadom of use linux or whatever I want (win 11 taking control on what you can run on computer! WTF) so yeach - google it or check what win 11 brings to the table (or rather take) more than just subscriptions
1-2. after one year medicore extensive use my left button started to double click! - wtf its not premium as they told
2. its edges - it is just dust and skin and swet gatherer after 1 year of gaming I got hard time clearing all those gaps!!! - yeah its not bad but when I want to clear /wash mouse I want it to be clear - but of course some people may say eh whatever (its my prefrence)
3. to open this mouse and fix it you would need to remove stickers (so you want to buy new ones! wtf)
to conclude - its v nice mouse overall - it was super easy to use and not as expensive. If I would find mouse with mitigation of above mentioned problems with same pross even if litle more expensive I would bought different mouse) in fact there is one which is in of copy of this one - seems nice and those microsticks are of better endurance so yeah I wich change it especialy because of this intrusive problematic logitech apps - dont get me wron ... aplication is flawles and easy to use in ters of it user experience but not in terms of backward system / aplication compatibility. so if cons are something you would want to avoid especialy if my pross are not good enough for you then you would want to avoid this mouse iven if its a nice mouse.
i honestly love the mouse the problem is that because of the foam factor my pinky gets left out, and ends up rubing the mousepad, but ive got used to it, and the weight is fine, if anything i think there should be more programmable buttons since i use em alot XD
i just noticed my pinky rubs the mousepad to but i don't really mind
I agree i first loved this mouse then after 3 years it stared to double click the only thing I like is the weight I even put all the weights it gives you in the mouse
Wtf dude, I have three kids using the computer with three mouses all connected to the PC, a Corsair M90, Razer Death Adder and a 502 Hero. I love the Logitech and don't agree with you at all bro!!
I tried the G502 and had two main issues with it. The weight even of the "X" version is 89g, which is too much imo. It is also too narrow for my hand which caused it to cramp up a bit.
I have the g502 wired and wireless and I mostly use the extra weights on my headphones my taping them to the side of the headband to balance out the weight since my headphone cable is quite heavy.
my only problem is a broken middle button in the mouse wheel, I always use it in AutoCad
lol its not heavy unless you are a 5 yr old kid. i got g502 and never thought of its weight as a downside
Preach brother 🙏🙏🙏🙏
It's terrible, once I get my new mouse probably next month...I'm literally throwing it in the trash, not even gonna bother with giving it away. If people think the weight of a mouse doesn't matter...it does, if you're using the mouse for 2-4 hours...the weight starts to become apparent...and you'll feel it on your wrist. I'm not a weak dude, I'm heavy into training calisthenics often...but I broke my wrist about a decade ago and I get wrist pains...this mouse sucks for that, and I'm realizing I need a light and easy mouse. Don't buy it...let Logitech just discontinue it, or... what I think they should do is just make a smaller and lighter version of it...I like the infinity scroll wheel and I think they should put it on other mice, and that's all I like about it, but the weight of it isn't worth that. I'm happily going back to a regular scroll wheel.
your not a man if you complain about mouse weight
That barely has to do with weight lifting.
true
That's...stupid. Why do some guys make every little thing about their masculinity? Is that really what constitutes being a man in your mind? It's the most trivial benchmark I can think of.
@@D3ViiANT its a ~120 gram mouse every man should be able to move it with ease.
@@D3ViiANT that's what a beta male would say, probably gets cheated on, maybe you watch?
I literally can't move on from the G502 because the infinite scroll wheel is way too useful for casual computer usage
The g502 is absolutely perfect all around the only issue is the weight after going to the gpx or the viper pro 2 but as far as the mouse itself everything from the shape to the performance is top tiers
Out of the 10 different mice I have consisting of Steel Series , End Game , Corsair and Razer mice , the Logitech G502 is still my favorite mouse by far.
I've been using g602 for 5 years mate. At 155g its perfect for me. It depends on how you grip. The only thing I hate about these mice is the double click issues.
They apparently fixed that problem with the newer g502x. They use optical switches instead of mechanical now.
Thankyou for raising this too !
I just bought one, it's awesome. I've had several too.. the razer naga..Death adder... steel series... red dragon... bloody v3 (Great mouse btw) and I will confess this is the best
121grams is light.
as much as I love lightweight ones (currently using Aria XD7), G502 is still a solid mouse especially with its button layout
Okay, i won't buy the G502. I'll buy the G502 X Plus, instead! It's better, and it pisses you off apparently, which is a bonus. Also, i use it for FPS, and I'm quite happy with it. Destiny 2, MWII, and many others. I love the functionality the extra buttons give.
In D2:
the Sniper Button is remapped to uncharged melee
G5 is grenade
G4 is class ability
G8 is charged melee
G7 is finisher
G9 is block
I've used this setup for over 4 years, with Corsair's G502 ripoff, the Dark Core Pro, and with the legendary G502 itself, both wired, and wireless. G502 is the best mouse I've ever used. And here's the kicker: i'm 28, and hands and wrists are just fine, so i don't know what you're on about.
Remap the sniper button to g-shift to double up your keybinds.
I've owned this mouse since 2018 (the HERO version) and I've went to clean it but it didn't need cleaning at all
I figure having a decent weight mouse helps with stability for precise movements. Where as a super light one would move to much. Just me though
I like a heavier mouse. I like the button layout (extra two by the left click and 3 thumb button). My problem with the G502 line is the Logitech software is a pain to use, and it's "ability" to swap games to different mouse layouts doesn't always work or sometimes turns off mid game. Plus some reason each update to the Logitech software it seems they keep making it harder to use.

I guess this really says something about these takes.
Well, heavily criticizing the most beloved Gaming Mouse on the planet would lead to that.
It was my first Gaming mouse, so I'm kinda biased towards it, too. But mostly just out of nostalgia.
0:01 Because some of us lack the insane hand dexterity and actually NEED more than two side buttons. Care to take on Mongraal in Fortnite and show us how you'll humiliate him with his G402? I have 130, 115, 100, and 74 gram mice in my collection. I was at my peak with the 115 gram mouse believe it or not. I then switched to the 74 gram model but the software glitches out my audio and I can't be bothered to reinstall windows so I went back to the 100 gram option. I'm still learning to adapt to the 15 gram weight reduction.
Also, we're not always looking to spend money on the same mouse WITH THE SAME BUTTON CONFIGURATION AND NO MEANINGFUL EXTRA FEATURES OR INNOVATION. My perfect mouse would simply be the G604 in a 50 gram body. They make that happen and I'm buying it even if it was $300
So, you're assuming that ALL gamers are low sensitivity competitive fps gamers and that no other game genres exist? Such narrow mindedness (unless this video is satire, and I hope it is)
Looking at getting the lightspeed version of this, and the biggest factor for me is ergonomics. To me the g502 is a slightly lighter lower latency alternative to the MX master. Not the best productivity mouse, not the best gaming mouse but seems to be a nice middle ground.
The design definitely leaves a lot to be desired though
The Logitech stock cable is a crime against humanity
I have a G502, and a Hero. The first one is far superior, from my perspective playing Darktide at the time I switched. I thought it'd be an upgrade and improve my capability, but it nerfed me. The first G502 is much smoother and accurate. The Hero, even at very low DPI settings, skips over a pixel at the slightest move of the mouse. As a result it's extremely difficult to get pinpoint long distance shots.
I spent a hundred pounds on the Razer Atlas tempered glass mousemat and like 50 for this Hero mouse thinking it was an upgrade, it's outrageous that it is fundamentally worse than the previous one in this crucial way.
Stoped watching you vidr after 2:26 min after realizing i am watching a kid winning about his mice. This video should be named: My subbjective opinion on The Logitech G502. And in that regard i would never click on you video because why the heck i would care about your unprofesional opinion. I bought this mice week ago and i love it. Best mouse i have ever had. So next time try to put some sens in you vid instead of THIS.
ur wrong
@@DiamondLobbyReviews he's 110% correct.
It is quite good. If you are not comfortable thats your choice. This doesnt mean mouse is trash just your opinion.
the like to dislike ratio says everything about this video.

I've played 7300 hours of games since May 2019 and I use a G502 with weights added. No pain. Mouse looks awesome.
I also use all the buttons for all my games. in overwatch i use the 3 left clicks for aimed ability, reload and shoot.
it feels easy for me to drag the mouse
I got 20k elo(top 1%) in CS2 using the g502 wired that ive had since 2016. I just got the DA v3 Pro, havent gotten to try it out yet, but it goes to show that a good mouse doesnt equal good skills.
Good lightweight mouse = not destroying your wrist, at least. After getting DAv3, my old g305 at 100g feels like a brick, honestly was surprised by that cause I play on Xbox gamepad regularly too.
@@Bodwaizer Yes definitely, of course a good mouse has its benifits, I am only saying that one cant blame the mouse for their skill issues. (as long as their mouse isnt a relic that belongs in a museum)
@@Bodwaizer a lightweight mouse won't solve that. That's literally just an inherent motion issue. The only way to solve that is not flicking or using a completely different style of mouse like a tilt one.
@@humble2246 it literally did solve that and I've had my best league in Path of Exile so far. Most games I play on a controller if I can, so I don't have carpal tunnel problem.
@@Bodwaizer its possible you just changed your positioning on your mouse rather than the weight. Understand tasks that involve no weight like keyboarding still can have carpal tunnel
sounds like a skill issue to me... the mouse is fucking cool and I love it :D
Bought mine back in 2020 when it still had the thin braided cable and I've used it as my main mouse ever since. I prefer the heavier weight since lightweight mice make me feel like it's going to slip out of my hand and go flying across the room, and I've never been a fan of wireless since I have to constantly worry about signal drops or battery life. I'd still highly recommend the G502 Hero to everyone just because it's held up for so long, no cable issues, weight is a preference, the extra buttons especially for sensitivity are great when I'm switching between games like csgo and league where I like different speeds, the unlockable scroll wheel makes scanning through longer documents incredibly helpful, overall just a really solid and well built mouse. Other comparable options from Corsair are like, $50 more and anyone who uses razer must like buying a new mouse every year because their quality is just awful. I've been trying to find another mouse with equal features that is wired and it's not even close, corsair has the M56 which is shorter (since I've got long-ish hands, I like the size of the 502) , there really isn't anything I've found better. I just wish they kept the braided cable..
@TheOtherNamesWereTaken123 I've since upgraded to the G502X (same mouse base but wireless and lighter) but the 502 Hero should be fine. If he's been using a different mouse it might take a little getting used to but it shouldn't be a problem at all.
I ain't paying $219 for a "lightweight" mouse. For less than half of the price, I get 3 more customizable buttons, scroll wheel with side scrolling and infinite scroll, and a comfortable shape in the g502
I guess some people like this reviewer don't get it because they cannot comprehend why.
People buy it because they like the feel of the mouse and the button layout and how many buttons it have. Not everyone plays FPS all day long in some sweaty CSGO lobby.
Many of us play RPG games and SP games in general. Having a mouse where you can map most functions in the game for quick access without having to take your fingers off WASD is a good thing. I can move and toss nades and drop ammo or do other things in full speed of movement. No moving index finger away from W to hit a number key to do an action. That just stops you.
It has had improvements as well. The G502X wireless is ~100gram. Only issue with it, it springy noise on main buttons, but a minor thing if you don't hear it when gaming. No more heavy metal mouse wheel, that was a dumb idea they had at the first 1-2 generations.
Yes it's not the lightest mouse, it's ergonomics can take some getting used to. But most adapt and get used to it.
bring back the dislikes counter
I bought this a few months ago and I don't use it at all, I'm surprised by the poor quality of the front two buttons, I don't feel like I've pressed anything at all, the middle wheel is a disaster, rough, imprecise and noisy
Sounds like you bought a fake then, G502s mouse wheel is regarded as one of the best in the mice industry because of how precise it is. And what exactly is low quality about the front two buttons?
LMFAOOO absolutely love this vid
this has got to be a parody video- way too funny to be serous.. love it (if that is the case)
I like a heavy mouse. I like a rubber cable, I always think braided cables are like some throwback to the 1930s.
"Omg please stop buying the G502, it sucks, if only they would remove *ALL* the features that made the G502 what it is."
Get bent...
Please don’t be rude I’m only 12
Logitech have always made mice that fits my hand like a glove, and I gotta ways, when I first saw the original G502 (the Proteus Core) I wasn't sure if it was any good. First time I used it, it fit perfectly. Everything was awesome except for the feet. They peel off way too quickly and start to catch your mousepad. I had to buy new feet (Hotline Games F4 Silver) and they are 5000 times better. They glide way better and doesn't bend and stick to the pad. The coating also come off really quickly. Other than that though, it's a solid mouse. With flaws.
bros complaining cuz hes too weak to push the mouse 💀
he W34K
best mouse i've used in my life
edit: all G502s I had, had their scrollwheels rust so I switched to the Basilisk V3 lmao
Ive been in love with this mouse for years. I use these buttons for every game for different things, when I played WoW i had abillites there. Given you have atleast 6 buttons if you dont count Dpi up and down buttons
Got the G502 After using cheap mouse for years and light ones. Had some strange feeling for the First One or two days... Now i want to buy another One for my home PC aswell.
You sound like YOU had problems with it, the mouse is amazing , iv used one for 5 years
