At around 3:52m you mentioned the thumb button, did you manage to find someone who sells a mod for that button? I would prefer a longer button. Great video btw.
Great review! Weight was key. I saw a video by an expert gamer reviewing the 502's and it like he said it was like moving a "brick" across the desktop! This weighs 86 grams! Big difference! Also the switches versus the other g502's.I was going to buy the Hero but in my research found the "double clicking" was inevitable so I will try the hybrid "Light force" switches. Still waiting for the delivery and next time I will order via your links. I hope G-hub software works with this mouse! Thanks again.

i feel like a braided cable would normally move more smoothly than a rubber cable. Its just the way that logitech braided the original g502 that makes it really rigid, because they had durability rather than flexibility in mind. Other gaming mice tend to have a more flexible and malleable braided cable.

@@nerdemoji3257 The only problem I see is that the Logitech g502 X costs the same as the original g502 when it came out, but is lacking any RGB. Not a deal-breaker for me, I don't care about RGB, but it might be odd for people to be paying the same for technically fewer features. Maybe the new optical switches are where the price tag comes from.
The flimsy looking cable is a deal breaker for me. It is definitely not an advantage. I need a new mouse but I guess I will buy another Hero.

Hi, did you notice if the hard plastic/ rubber covering the cable sticking out of the mouse actually touches the mat or you desk in this case? it looks likes it facing downwards, because even if it isn't causing much friction i guess could get damaged at some point.

OP you are right, I just bought this mouse and took a closer look. The cable is actually pointed downwards to the desk and touching the surface. I am using it on a QCK Prism table mousepad so the friction is not as bad as bare table top.

Just bought this mouse after my G502 starts having problems with it's left click not working anymore. It's really light but feels like my old G502 because the main features are still there. So i feel like there's not a lot of adjustment or getting use to this new mouse, The only thing that i will miss and also like in G502 was the wire was braided and this mouse is not. I liked that more than this plastic wiring but not a huge deal breaker. Anyway, Thank you for this review.

Same problem here, just 2 months after i bought, left and right suddenly wont work... logitech quality has gone shit over the years
Why couldn't they have given this mouse a more modern, ultralight style mouse cable like a paracord / flex cable that is seen on the wired version of the Basilisk v3, Viper v2, MM710, etc, model O, etc?
I'll probably get this one. for some reason my G502 hero's metal scroll wheel always gets rusty. G502x scrool wheel is mostly out of rubber
My current G502 is nearing the end of it's life, the buttons aren't responding as much and it's fraying on the cable and everything. And after getting more serious with my gaming, I've been finding lighter mice so much nicer to use...so the fact that this is pretty much the same mouse but updated and LIGHTER, I'm literally ordering it right now lmao

The huge drawback is the price of this. Where I live, the G502 X costs $77, whereas the original G502 only costs $43 which is a huge price gap for the little you get in the G502 X. Plus, many things were removed on the X version of the mouse, like no weight customization or no braided cable (which is a big problem for me as my current mouse is broken because of the fact that the cable wasn't rigid enough and wore down progressively when I played).

No sale either on the G502X this Black Friday.
last G502 i had many dpi miss clicks. where my finger reached to far and clicked the DPI and changed my aim speed. that happened often with that mouse. hope not this one.
is the small rgb indicator fully customizable in color. I like to have like 6 profiles I swap between and it's important I have full control of the exact color of that small rgb part. I want to make sure they didn't limit it to like 5 predefined colors or something. my g502 is starting to have lots missclicks and draging and dropping things can sometimes take 8+ tries. This will be the second g502 I've had over the years with this issue. Really hope the optical sensor solves this issue.
@hendelburgisunavaliable
Жыл бұрын
Just got one, There is a maximum of 5 dpi settings, which all have colours that you can't change, going white, orange, light blue, yellow and purple. The indicator only turns on while you are changing the dpi, so it won't always have a colour you don't want. The sniper button automatically goes to the lowest dpi, which makes the indicator turn white, and when you let go, it goes back to the dpi and colour it was before the sniper button was pressed. You don't get exact control over it, however it turns off after changing the dpi, so don't worry about the mouse always having a light lit that you can't change the colour of. Hope this helps!

Yes, always go with wired version of everything. Wireless has come a long way, but its still not as reliable and fast as wired.
I have a G502 hero. I think it's better, save for the switches. I don't like how plain the new G502x is. From RGB (not that it matters, but still a feature), to even how you can change mouse feel. All of those features make the 502 hero better IMO. That said? Will I upgrade? Maybe. IF the switches are as good, maybe when my current one dies

My OG 502 software cannot detect this new 502 X at all !! I had to download a new specific software for this 502 X and that software will give you nightmares trying to do what you want it to do.

For me this seems like a way better mouse than the normal G502. There were a bunch of things I didn't like about that mouse that this one seems to have improved on. To me the G502 was too heavy and they made this mouse way lighter, I hated the sniper button and it's now removable, the rubber on de palm on the normal G502 could get very sticky but now it's just plastic, the shape on the right side of the mouse on the normal G502 had a really sharp edge that made it hard to find a good spot for my ring finger but now (as far as I can tell from videos) they made that angle way less prominent. I'm probably gonna get myself one of these.

MOUSES?
Sniper or DPI button is very strange at my opinion. G502 you need to hold this button for sniping dpi. G502X you need to press this button and slightly move the mouse and you don't need to hold it. When your sniping is over you simply short press dpi button and your dpi is reset to normal. This is ridiculous. Why simply one click you are activate snipping mode, another click your normal dpi is back again. For me in BF2042 every touch on snipping button lead me to instant death becouse I can't use this feature any more

Плохо,что эта мышка теперь мало весит. Как пустышка
Some counterpoints : -Braided cables cause less friction when sliding across your desk. -The "sniping" button doesn't really matter (for sniping at least) since most shooters have ADS sensitivity sliders. -The G502X, even wired, is still above average weight for a gaming mouse. So it IS lighter than regular G502, but if you really care about weight it still might not be the best choice. -The lighter wheel does indeed have less inertia, so you can't freewheel as efficiently in long pages. But it's what contributes to the overall lighter weight, so it's a tradeoff. Also a warning to potential buyers, the wireless and RGB versions are LITERALLY DOUBLE THE PRICE. If I see you with a mouse like that out there, I WILL JUDGE YOU. You could buy a whole entire AAA game with just the price difference, and have some remaining change. Don't let Logitech get away with it, vote with your wallet, get the wired version.

Clear as day you're paying less for more in comparison to the G502 Hero. I'm tempted to buy multiple since they're being discounted for this junk.
