G502X Lightspeed (Wiressless Non RGB)
I have some prior logitech mouse over the year like g300 (so many of them like one every 6-12month), g700 and others. Didn't have prior experience with the g502 hero and was always a fan of the 4 top button so I later transition to roccat tyon which is a bit larger and heavier (130gish) mouse that is d/c now. So this would mainly be my baseline comparison.I been debating between all three version and didn't want to cough up money for powerplay as well for the RBG version so got the wireless non-RGB one. The old g502 lightspeed (non-x) wireless version was going for $80 but mechanical button (not optic) and was more in my price range. The wired version had cheap rubber wire that apparently rubbed against the mouse pad. I have been mostly in the "wired" club cause of latency and battery concern before. Going to transition to wireless club now.Pro:- 144 hours per ghub which is amazing which is 6 full days. If I use it 8hrs a day, that 18 days before I have to recharged. Usage is more close to 3hr on weekday and 12 on weekend so it should last a month for me. RGB version is like 30ish hours and that was my deciding factor w/o powerplay.- Apparently only takes ~2 hour to charge to full- Love the wireless, pretty much no lag at all with the dongle. Simply plug and play, and ghub software download via google.- Many keybinding. I have like 18 keybinding by utilizing the G-shift key (bind it to the DPI+shift button) for office work profile. This is similar to the roccat easy shift which was by the thumb rest.- USB-C charging. Did not even use the dongle extension hub. Will just use my android super charger next to my PC every-25K DPI but who really would use this? I try to set my window sensitivity to lowest with 25k and that not happening. Rolling at window sensitivity 6 with 5500 DPI and 4 other DPI level for shifting.-1000Hz Polling-106g weight or so per description. Felt nice and it is gliding on my old logitech mousepad with those new white padding.-Battery LED in center front of mouse. Can keybind to activate the battery level color.Con:- Coming from the roccat tyon, it was a bit smaller for me and had hand discomfort. Hoping to adjust soon.-Scroll wheel (non-release): a bit louder for personal preference. Like if I'm scrolling down a page, it would go through like 3-4 of the tactile clicks. End up changing mouse setting to increase # of line per scroll to like 20.-Scroll wheel (infinite scroll): I always loved this when I had the g700. This one, is nice for web page scrolling initially but as my finger tend to be on the scroll wheel, everytime that I stop, the page would scroll up a bit then back down again which is annoying.-Keybinded new tab / close tab with scroll left and right. Problem is that, the function is ctrl+T / ctrl+W. This ctrl button + scroll wheel = zoom in/out. As I often navigate through many tab at once, it would occasionally perform unwanted zooming.Neutral-Would like to have button on the top right side as well.-No RGB but I wasn't going pay like $15 extra for that plus your hand would cover like 90% of the light area.-Still not getting use to the mouse click. With the new optic switch, it supposedly will prevent "double-clicking" issue. Either I am clicking it too lightly and I do get the feeling of "I did double click, but it not opening" since the file is clearly highlighted. Cause it is a bit smaller to my previous mouse, I notice I'm doing more of a claw grip instead of palm grip so my finger are pressing around 3/5 way of the button so this may be the reason.- Content of box: Mouse, USB cable, dongle, dongle extender, DPI shift button cover and bunch of user guide.-I feel like I got cheated a bit as it seems like I may have gotten a new returned and opened boxes. There was no plastic wrap and the box was inside a heatsealed plastic bag and the bottom of the mouse was a bit dusty which came off. I was still impress with the mouse so going ignore the hassle of returning and will be keeping it.Overall: Definitely worth it to get the wireless non-RGB version for me. If you have powerplay then the RGB version may be for you if you want lighting.

G502 X Plus -- A Worthy successor to earlier G502's for FPS games
The 2022 Logitech G502 X Plus was a very pleasant surprise. It is replacing a Logitech G-Pro that is roughly 80 grams weight on a Logitech Powerplay mouse pad (expanded cover for extra space and non-stop charging), primarily used for Overwatch2. Other gaming mice in my collection include earlier G502's, G903, Razer Death Adder + Copperhead, Steelseries Rival3 and Rival600, etc. Generally the best performers in FPS games are the lightest units with the best optical sensors, and the G502 X Plus definitely fits that criteria.Pros:-Comfortable ergonomic shape for marathon gaming sessions-PTFE mouse feet for super-smooth glide across mouse pads-The new optical hybrid switches are incredibly fast compared to the G-Pro's older Omron switches, with a nice crisp click and improved actuation. They will last much longer than conventional mechanical switches and correct double-clicking issues. My last G-Pro's right rear thumb switch suffered from double-clicking issues since they were the old Omron mechanicals that wore out from constant use.-Nice RGB lighting if you are looking for that kind of bling-This mouse wakes from sleep mode instantly (like the G-Pro series). The old G502 Hero Wireless required a full second to wake up, making the old sleep mode feature extremely inconvenient and annoying.-At 106 grams list weight, the G502 X Plus is a tad heavier for a gaming mouse. However, coming from an 80 gram G-Pro, I notice better aim stability without sacrificing flick aim consistency. With the Powerplay charging puck attached and USB receiver stored inside, the G502 X Plus hits 110g on my postal scale. The G502 Hero wireless is 120g with the same accessories.Cons:-No more adjustable weights like its predecessor G502, but to be fair, the whole e-sport industry has shifted competitive user demand to lighter weight mice for the fastest aim flicks possible.-Battery power drains faster with RGB lighting at full settings. This is mitigated by reducing RBG brightness to 85% and shortening idle-mode entry from 2 minutes down to 1. Using a Logitech Powerplay mouse pad, my mouse battery power hovers around 78% to 90% steady with RGB enabled.-The mouse's black finish tends to have shiny oil stains and wear marks over time. This is why I apply blue painter's tape to the areas most prone to this issue.-GHub software will not allow users less than 3 DPI presets, and all of these have to be different values at 50dpi intervals. I tried to "lock" my mouse at 1000dpi to avoid accidental DPI switching, but the software would not allow me to do this, so I ended up moving my DPI cycling button to the default profile button up top and removing the up/down DPI adjustment buttons next to the left click. This gave me two additional buttons for other programable functions (like Alt and middle-mouse click since pressing the mouse wheel down can feel awkward).-The new hybrid mechanical switches have a different click sound compared to conventional switches -- not really louder, but definitely more metallic.Yes, this mouse is expensive, but the combination of lighter weight + excellent ergonomics + fast/crisp long-wear switches makes this model very hard to beat. If you are looking for a mouse with more weight and heft, then you may not be happy with the G502 X since the latest model has been redesigned for the e-sports crowd. The G502 X now combines lighter weight with an ergo shape, something that most ultra-light mouse offerings lack.NOTE: If you want the best wireless mouse experience, I recommend pairing the G502 X Plus with a Logitech Powerplay for non-stop wireless charging while using the mouse. For those that want a larger mouse pad than what the default Powerplay size offers, check out "Logitech powerplay mousepad expansion mod" on youtube. I have my set-up displayed in the attached images along with actual weight compared to the old G502 Wireless.EDIT: I just read a few other reviews claiming that the G502 X feels "cheap" because it feels too light. The whole point of lowering mouse weight is to minimize mass, thereby requiring less physical energy / effort to move the mouse quickly and accurately. This is how modern e-sports mice are designed, because a lighter mouse is a faster mouse, while a heavier one is a slower boat anchor that is usually on the losing end of an FPS fire fight. The G502 X Plus is only 10 grams lighter than the G502 hero, yet it is much easier to flick-aim than the older G502 Hero Wireless.Also, if you want RGB on the G502 X, you have to get the Plus edition, other wise you get no RGB. Yet one newer review complained about missing RGB LED's on his G502 X non-Plus edition. Going no-RGB is still a valid choice since it saves a few grams, extends battery life, and costs less, but just make sure you know what you are buying ahead of time. ;)
