Logitech G502 X Plus Lightspeed Wireless Gaming Mouse + Powerplay 2 Wireless Charging Mouse Pad Bundle - Black

This mouse may be a little heavy, but it perfectly fits my hand making it very comfortable for long gaming sessions, has a frictionless scroll setting which can be useful (AND SIDE SCROLLING IF YOU PUSH ON THE SIDE OF THE SCROLL WHEEL), is durable, the side buttons are placed really well, up to 1,000 Hz polling rate (nothing insane but expected in a gaming mouse), stupidly high max DPI and stupidly low min. DPI. Outside of it being a little heavy, this mouse is perfect and worth every bit of what I paid.

I love this mouse more than anything. I've had it since it came out and I've bought multiple backups just in case. Feels good in the hand, buttons are in a good spot, smooth quick scroll with an option to be notched scrolling. Everything I need in a mouse. Wire doesn't get in the way at all and it's super lightweight. I tried the MX Master 3S mouse before and it's terrible (clunky, bad layout, heavy, blehhh). This G502 X mouse is perfect.The only negative is the Logitech G Hub software takes forever to load my mouse on boot. I have a very high-end PC so there's no need for it to take that long. After that, works well.

Backstory. I have been a gamer my whole life. I am currently as of writing this 34 years old. Yeah not a youngin but not an old man either.... I grew up using OG computers with ball mice. Over the years I had gotten a good feel on what makes a good mouse "in my opinion" and sadly many mice do not fit the bill. Many will SEEM to fit, only to fail later.My very last mouse was the Razer Viper V2 Pro. And what a freaking mistake that was. I swear I have the worst time with mice. I use my computer at least 8 hours a day mix gaming and non gaming. I had given up on Razer for along time, trying off brands, chinese brands, and so on. But, I wanted a wireless mouse, so I gave Razer a chance. FIVE (5) months after use, the wireless side of the V2 Pro just stopped working for no reason. Legit would not connect. Tried multiple computers, over 20 different usb ports and hubs, it was just dead. Googled the issue and sure enough its a "common" issue and everyone with said issue ends up buying a new mouse as replacement. WHAT? I am not going to buy "another" Razer of the same model when it freaking failed. Why, so it can fail again in 5 months? I feel bad for people who keep giving these companies with bad practices money.Turn around and I finally ordered this Logitech. EVEN Logitech, I had sworn "to never use" because they kept failing in terms of left click. They ALL have the same issue, double click error after long use. You can google that too and find many people complaining of double clicking "but Logitech has the best wifi connection so no other brand can compare" thus "they still buy Logitech." So like Razer, I decided to give them a second chance.... This time around, Logitech has given us optical switches, which IN THEORY should never fail in terms of double clicking.... So here I am, using it.Firstly the mouse movement feel 1:1 vs what I see on screen. No I don't mean DPI wise. YES, 1200 DPI on this Logitech feels COMPLETELY different than 1200 DPI on the Razer I was using before it. But I dare say this G502 X Lightspeed is more "accurate" and "stable." No matter how fast or slow I move the mouse, the cursor tracks properly and moves the proper amount you expect. Razer was only "slightly" worse in this regards where sometimes you felt like "I didn't aim there" when moving. It didn't happen often, not as often as 3rd party cheap Chinese mice that's for sure. My go to mouse for a long time was Cooler Master brand, Spawn, Xornet 2, MM720.... I like the wider mouse as I have "bear paw" hands (wide hands with short fingers). But those mice have tracking issues. You move fast and the rate at which the mouse moves is different then when you move it slower. And its a huge variation between each speed you move the mouse. Its bad. This G502 X LS is the first to feel accurate like OG mice from back in the day, like the classic Microsoft Intellimouse which was my go to back in the 2000's....The battery life is insane. The razer I would need to charge just about once a week. So far my Logitech seems to "last forever." I ended up buying one of those Soarking Charging Docks for the Logitech mice. Comes with the little POG bottom cover that allows for mounting/charging. And its magnetic. Every once in awhile I just toss it onto that charger while I sleep. I don't really think of it as "charging" because it charges while the PC is literally turned off. Which is a huge plus. You could argue "that's why its lasting longer" but "out of the box" the initial charge lasted me TWO WEEKS before the mouse shut off on me. THAT was when I bought the charging dock.... still two weeks vs one week on the razer is double the time....The only downside is that the left and right click feel, mushy? its a short distance and the click feels, well it feels weird. It doesn't feel like a click, more like a "clock" feel. Its hard to explain really. Its not BAD per say, but I like the feedback of other mice where the click feels like an actual click. Mushy is the only way I can explain it. Its still a sharp feeling but mushy at the same time. I'm not good at explaining it.... again its not bad.The scroll wheel also feels janky. I don't understand the "free wheel" scroll feature. Why? And when its in the click style turn mode, the "notchy" feel, it feels, mushy. I have to say my favorite mouse wheel has been Cooler Master mice. MM720 for example. Best mouse wheel on the market in my opinion.IF I HAVE TO, I will come back an edit my review if something goes wrong. For now ive been using this mouse for over a months, 8 hours a day minimum, and its been flawless for now.On an off note, my DREAM mouse would be Cooler Master optical buttons, Cooler Master scroll wheel, Logitech Wireless technology, Logitech Sensor, and shape can just have multiple shapes to please everyone, a normal one, an ergonomic one that has a high hump, a wide one like my fav CM mice. That mouse would be the mouse to end all mice in my opinion.

I've owned four different G502 mice over the years, and I just replaced a G502 SE HERO with this one because my "HERO" began exhibiting the dreaded Click Bounce failure, and spraying contact cleaner into it didn't help.First, the positive. This really is a nice mouse. The 502X is incredibly lightweight, so it's easy to move around. And the thumb button, which was in a great position on the very first G502 mouse, but moved too far forward on models since then, is reversible, so that you can position it in the "too-far-forward" position (so you don't accidentally use it) or further back (so you can use it without having to lift your hand). This is a fantastic improvement! The rubberized scroll wheel also feels nicer on the finger than the old plastic scroll wheel, so I appreciate that improvement, too. Finally, I'm hopeful that the new opto-mechanical switches (optical switches with a mechanical clicker to offer some satisfying resistance) might be immune to the "click bounce" problem that has plagued Logitech's mice for *decades*. If the smallest bit of contamination gets into their mechanical microswitches, they begin malfunctioning, and you often can't clean it without tearing the mouse apart (they're never the same after doing that). In my experience, this consistently happens within 2-5 years of getting a new mouse. There's a reasonable chance that the optical switch won't have such a failure mode. Here's hoping!Unfortunately, everything else is a step backwards. This is priced comparably with the prior model (when it was new), but the mouse feels cheap, probably due to light-weighting. Clicking of the buttons and the scroll wheel sounds hollow and LOUD, to the point of being distracting (I'd prefer a slightly heavier mouse that isn't so loud). The LED lighting was a nice-to-have feature that is now only available on the most expensive wireless "plus" model (I don't want a wireless mouse). The substantial-feeling braided nylon cord has been replaced with a simple rubber cord that is higher-friction and likely more susceptible to wearing (I've never had a mouse cord wear out, so I'm not too worried).This is a nice mouse, but overall, the HERO provided a better user experience. The thumb button is a big improvement, and I'm hoping the switches are more durable. But overall, it's not as nice of a mouse as the prior G502 mice were.
