LOGITECH G G502 LIGHTSPEED REVIEWS PC

I placed all weights inside the mouse to see how the extra 16 grams would impact comfort. I originally expected my hand to cramp with hours-long use, but the G502 Lightspeed was surprisingly comfortable, especially when I grew more accustomed to the button placement. It also charged back to 100 percent in just shy of 2 hours, but the claim that 5 minutes of charging offers 2.5 hours also tracked (without the DPI lights on). Out of the box, this was less than 50% charged and it lasted around 20 hours with the DPI lights always on and draining the battery. Logitech says that this mouse has enough longevity for continuous play over 60 hours when the RGB settings aren’t used (and 48 with them in use). I also enjoyed the ability to use a single button to toggle between other gaming and non-gaming profiles, each with different button assignments. And I never detected a single instance with sputtering or freezing. I was able to program frequently used buttons that came in handy for Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Hero, reducing some reliance on the keyboard and lending to swifter reactions and movements. With gaming and general use alike the buttons were incredibly useful. Performance: Accurate and versatile with decent battery life

But the G502 X should provide just what most PC gamers need, and essentially nothing that they don't - unless, of course, you'd rather splurge for the wireless version.It achieves tracking speeds of over 400 IPS (inches per second) and covers 16,000 DPI like other top-performing gaming mice. In the same price range, it's also worth investigating the Razer DeathAdder V2, as well as the Corsair M65, both of which are cheaper and offer comparable feature sets. Part of me wishes that the G502 X did more to distinguish itself from the G502, but another part of me wasn't exactly sure what the G502 was missing. It's hard to ask for much more from a gaming mouse. Above all else, the device is comfortable and functional, and it works well with just about any game genre you can throw its way. But what it lacks in features, it makes up for in performance. The Logitech G502 X is a simpler mouse than its predecessor. I don't usually think much about how a mouse feels while I use it, but I was often consciously aware of how well the G502 X fit my hand, and how closely the cursor's movement onscreen matched my hand's movement on my desk. It's worth pointing out just how comfortable the G502 X feels, and how well the weight complements its design. With a high-quality sensor, the G502 X tracked my movements and responded to my commands both quickly and accurately. I tested the device with a variety of PC games, including Age of Empires IV, Doom Eternal, Marvel's Midnight Suns and Diablo Immortal, and wasn't surprised to find that the mouse deftly handled any genre I threw its way. One area where the Logitech G502 X positively excels is in its in-game performance. That's pretty much all you can do, however, so if you love tinkering with mouse settings, the G502 X might not be the right choice for you. Using the Logitech G Hub software, you can customize the mouse's DPI levels (up to 25,600 - much higher than you'll ever need) and set up profiles for individual games and apps. On the other hand, it does mean that you're not getting all that many bells and whistles in your $80 premium gaming mouse. This isn't a terrible thing, since it does make the mouse a bit more streamlined than before, not to mention much lighter at only 3.1 ounces. Logitech G502 X review: FeaturesĪs mentioned above, the Logitech G502 X has fewer features than its predecessor, having ditched both tunable weights and RGB lighting.

Since the G502 X costs the same as the G502 ($80), it's a little hard to shake the feeling that we're getting a slightly lesser product for the same price. It's almost unheard-of for a high-end product to lose features in new iterations, unless absolutely no one was using them, and that's not the case for either the weights or the lighting.

Not every gaming mouse needs these features, but the previous G502 models incorporated both. There are two unusual things I noticed about the G502 X, however: There are no tunable weights, and there's no RGB lighting.
