Logitech G502 HERO High Performance Gaming Mouse

Im no 187329871 IQ pro gamer its got enough buttons for me. The button location are solid enough for me to be satisfied the only issue I have with this mouse is that the scroll wheel now spins freely and is one hell of a headache playing most fps games as the wheel usually switches weapons in most games. So for example you run out of ammo in game and want to switch to your secondary.. well youll switch to it but switch right back about 3 times. Kind of a deal breaker for clutch moment gaming. ***edit*** Turns out im an idiot. Theres a button that locks and unlocks the scroll wheel..LMAO sooo yeah no this mouse is great im just not smart enough to properly utilize it.

This review is for the Hero version of G502. I have stopped using Logitech mice since they discontinued G9. I have been using Roccat Kone XTD since then that died after serving me for over 5 years. After reading reviews about G502 I decided to give it a try as I really liked the overall design and feel , it reminded me of G9. So when I learned they are refreshing the 502 with a new sensor I was skeptical to pay $30 more for the new one. Now that I used it I am glad I did. The refreshed model has a really thick and flexible cord that was apparently a major weakness in the original 502. Couple that with a really awesome sensor that is super accurate and sensitive to slightest movements and tracks on any surface (seriously I tried everything from a white paper to the palm of my hand) and you have a potential winner. However, the best part of this mouse is not that or the the materials that they used which also feels really nice and durable. While subjective and relevant to how big or small your hands are for me the way the mouse sits in my hand and how easy it is to access the buttons are the best indicators . The buttons themselves feel very satisfying to press thanks to the spring loaded mechanism. Last but not least is the scroll wheel. This... this scrollwheel I can probably write a whole paragraph on how good it is... Not only does it have the infinite mode that rolls beautifully but also its made from METAL. Its a nice chunk of metal that is just better than a plastic one in every way. I dont think I can go back to plastic mouse-wheels after using my G502. You might never use the 16000DPI sensor but if you used G502 and similar mice in the past and are due for an upgrade the refresh 502 is totally worth the money Logitech is asking for.

i play alot of many types of games which makes me need as many buttons as possible on my mouse. i had the g502 and then when i i saw an upgrade, as any serious gamer, i had to have" the best". the laser and accuracy is the best ive touched ever.BUT!!!!! they need to add this laser to the g600 mmo mouse and /or arrange the button layout a little bit better for short finger . i frequently hit extra buttons on the mouse and the thumb button makes me hold the entire mouse in a uncomfortable way. in summation if you are hard core about fpss this is the mouse you need, want and have to have. if you are all about warcraft or whatever other mmo is out right now, not so much.....

I have no idea why Amazon wants me to rate the battery life on this wired mouse. That was kind of weird. In any case, this is a continued evolution of the G502 mouse, which debuted as the Proteus Core, then the Proteus Spectrum before being released as the Hero. The Spectrum introduced RGB lighting to the fold and the Hero introduces the improved Hero sensor, otherwise, all 3 variants are virtually identical aside from a couple aesthetic touches (the Core has some blue accents on it and the Hero has a slightly different G logo). In terms of performance, if youve used any of the previous G502 mice before, it wont feel much different to you. In fact, theres very little reason to upgrade to this unless you just happen to have the money to spare. The Hero sensor is an improved sensor, but I wouldnt be able to tell you the difference between this and the previous sensor. I still use the Spectrum version on my other build and the Core at work, and they all feel the same. Mouse design is the same, button placement is the same, and overall, it feels the same. Which is great because the G502 is just a great mouse, unless you like light mice. It is already on the heavy side and can be made heavier with weights that Logitech includes. For competitive shooters, this mice probably isnt ideal, but if you like heavier mice, this one fits the bill. I like a heavy mouse, so it works for me. Button clicks are responsive and satisfying and the metallic scroll wheel is one of my favorites. The ability to adjust DPI on the fly is nice, as is the sniper button on the side right in front of where your thumb would rest. It has a number of different buttons that can be completely adjusted in the Logitech Gaming Software and the RGB lighting is not nearly as intrusive as on some mice and can be completely disabled if you wish. Some complain about the braided cable snagging, but I have not readily run into this issue much. In fact, its only an issue when I leave something on my desk for it to snag on. I really like this mouse, but as with anything else, it isnt for everyone. But I personally would recommend it, especially if you like heavier mice.

Install Flash Player ORDERED = 05/11/2019 || SELLER = Amazon.com LLC || PAID = $59.35 :: PRO :: 1.) Improved braided cable over previous G502 model. 2.) The weight options are exact same as previous model. (Feels identical in all ways, easy to get used to.) 3.) Im about 6-6" and little over 200 lbs - fits my hand fairly well. (They dont make many BIG HAND mice :) 4.) DPI shift button is epic for sniping btw!!! (Great for nudging objects in Adobe too.) 5.) LIGHTSYNC added to this model is cool for custom rigs & lighting. (Single click, easy to enable.) 6.) Fully customizable RGB LED, you can set color, cycle speed & mode indicators. 7.) VERY VERY accurate mouse, 4,000 DPI higher than previous 12,000 DPI 502 model. 16,000 DPI is insane resolution tbh. 8.) Rubberized areas can handle greasy, salty gamer hands lol (see pics.)....they are the most durable grips I have ever seen in my 30 years of using mice. :: CONS :: 1.) The cord is much better, but this mouse still has one. (Its hard to find CONS with the G502 HERO.) 2.) Really miss the cordless days, but this mouse catches every signal & the slightest movements. 3.) The RGB is usually not prominent as its under your hand or in sleep mode. 4.) Free wheel mouse mode can be sensitive to twitch gaming. Some rolling can occur, but you gotta be really shaking it. :: OVERALL :: I HATE CORDS, but I love this mouse so I am always torn between both worlds. I need to be highly accurate in my video, photography & gaming life, all the G502 series mice have enhanced my computer work & play! I have purchased 3 of them now, 2 of which have HEAVY use & abuse....they still work perfectly and remain accurate. Seriously this mouse brought my K/D up to new highs, its so much better than the $100 cordless laser Im still kind of in shock. Its a gaming AND business must have. Using this for websites, photo editing & detail alignments in Adobe is a dream come true. DONT FORGET ITs EVEN GOT MACROS!?!? I dont use them to their full potential, but the few macros I have are awesome! FINAL NOTE: My first G502 is still rock solid even after years of abuse, nothing has failed. Mouse wheel is 100% & so is the weight latch. (People have complained about these things in the past, but ALL 3 of my G502s are reliable and functional. I hated Logitech until I used the 502s, their mousewheels fail, wireless signal loss is constant (with exception to the $100 wireless lasers.) AND the rubberized grips always turned to sticky goo after 3-4 years. I was pissed off at Logitech when I bought the 502 & was ready to rip apart this mouse in a review if it SUCKED. I cannot say anything bad, the mouse won me over. If it fails me I will trash 1 star all my 502 reviews, but against all odds, I love the 502s..

Pros: - Easy to map new bindings to each button with the software available. - Good solid feel to the mouse overall and about the same size as the razer 2013 deathadder (meaning its decent for larger hands). - There are included weoghts allowing for adjustment based on personal preference. I find certain mice to be too light, so the option for additional weight is personally greatly appreciated. Cons: - You are required to download the software for this mouse manually and it isnt the easiest interface I have ever used. Without previous software experience (mine being from razer synapse), it might be a challenge for inexperienced users. - While I appreciate the mouse wheels ability to unlock completely, I waish there was a adjustment for the sensitivity of the mousewheel akin to that of the razer basilisk. I use the mouse wheel for many things in gaming and its a little janky at times. - I know some people really like RGB style customization and this mouse is sub-par in those regards. You have the options for quite a few colors, but you only ever see it on the logo about the size of your thumbnail and on the dpi setting adjustment lights. Overall a very small area of the mouse that only reallys seems to be there for finding it in a poorly lit environment. All in all: This mouse is a great choice for the most seasoned veterans of gaming and the new-comers alike. It might not be a great fit for those with small hands, but it provides enoigh versatility to be viable in almost any genre of game (competitive or not).

I think I finally found "The" Perfect mouse for me, after buying and testing 5 other high-end mice. I always knew about the G502 but didnt think that the Shape and Ergo of the mouse would complement my grip style and medium sized hands. But I knew the fairly New HERO 16k Sensor was great because I had the GPro Wireless and the Same Hero sensor was just amazingly accurate, and could actually tell the difference to the other competing Op Sensors, but ended up returning the G-Pro/W Because the Shape and Size, and was very slippery. Just recently I just dove In and took the risk of trying out the G502-Hero, and is very comfortable while gaming! I love it! I expected the overall size to be a bit larger but was ok. After using it, its actually the PERFECT Size for me. It comes with addable weight 3.6g weights, and I only use one of them, and its good for me. Having the textured rubberized grips on the sides is a very big deal for my "Claw&Finger Tip" Grip, which was an deal breaker for me with my previous G-Pro wireless, was so dam slippery. And this G502 has plenty of grip, and is textured that covers the entire side for my Pinky & Ring finger. It feels really secure, especially in intense quick movements in FPS. I was expecting the rubber grips to be more "Rubbery" but is more firm in texture, which is Ok and exception for me. I dont really care for all the DPI buttons and the Sniper buttons (Except for the Forward/Backward Thumb Buttons) since I strictly keep at one DPI Setting never changes, but thats my Preference. But for people that uses them, I can say that they are very easy to reach without completely resetting your Grip. And IMO the Scroll Wheel is the Weakest feature about this mouse. I never use the Infinite scroll wheel option, dont have use for it, yea it is fun to play with like a Figit-Spinner but it will register the movement. But I guess for people that might need it when reading long and infinite pages of documents or Coding might be useful. But for gaming is very slippery, its all metal and is Heavy. When you shake the mouse you can feel and hear the Wheel slightly moving around. The Left & Right Click are both equal, they both sound and feel crisp with just enough tactile & Audible feedback and you can click them as fast as your pointer finger can click. I never had used the Previous variations of the G502, but heard they really improved the braided threading on the cord. There were many complaints that the previous versions the cord would start to fray and come apart easily. I can they thats not the case on the the HERO Version. The cord is thinner and very Flexible. And lastly, best for last...The "Hero" Optical Sensor. All I can say is that its extremely Accurate and Precise. The Pixart 3360-3366 are still amazing Top of the line Sensors, and to average player you probably wont be able to tell the difference, and Idk really if its just an Placebo effect but I feel like its slightly more Accurate and is the Best Optical Sensor out. This mouse purely emphasizes Performance over the RGB Aesthetics, and is Best for FPS players looking to get that precise accuracy to complement your Flick shots, tracking, Aiming Skill. This mouse is it, or is an Top 3 Option to Consider.

I am writing this after having the mouse a day and a half, so things may change. So far this mouse is working great for me both in Linux and Windows as I am using it through a KVM. My previous older gaming mouse had a few different limitations that really stuck out once I went up to higher resolution and could more consistently hold higher frame rates. Basically at the higher display capabilities my old mouse movements looks rather stuttery and jerky. This mouse has solved this with some rather quick and easy tuning. So for a run down on how this has improved over an older generation gaming mouse is: 1. Turned down mouse sensitivity in Windows, Linux, and in games. At the same time turned up DPI resolution on the mouse. The main thing you are really after is turning off "mouse acceleration". The difference in smoothness is night and day. I simply did not have the mouse resolution and responsiveness before, at least for first person shooters. With this mouse and a few quick tweaks I do. 2. Can run this mouse on smoother, very low static friction free surfaces. My older gaming mouse just did not have the sensor for this, so it would stick on the mouse pad a little and then the movement would be a little jerky as it transitioned to kinetic friction. This mouse can do it, so problem solved. 3. This mouse allows balancing with weights. I guesstimated where I thought I needed the weights and so far it is working out pretty nice. The previous gaming mouse had a wireless option with a battery in the back and especially with my big hands not making much contact with the back of the mouse, this would cause things to shift around and not track quite right. For my recommendations to get the most out of Linux is to: 1. Setup under Windows. The mouse has a memory, so once it is setup under Windows, it is setup everywhere in terms of DPI settings and polling rate. 2. In Linux (I am doing this under Ubuntu 18.04, but should work with any distro) first order of business is to disable acceleration. Create the file: /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-mouse-acceleration.conf and enter in the following: Section "InputClass" Identifier "My Mouse" Driver "libinput" MatchIsPointer "yes" Option "AccelProfile" "flat" Option "AccelSpeed" "0" EndSection 3. Restart your X server by logging out and back in. 4. Make mouse adjustments such as sensitivity levels in X windows and in games and enjoy! The main games to benefit from this are FPS (first person shooter) games. Other games any old mouse will do, but it wasnt those games that pushed you to get this mouse, right? As a summary, even within a few hours of having this mouse I am finding that I am not getting nauseous as much with FPS gaming, movement looks a lot smoother, and I am quickly getting in a lot more shots and especially a lot more sniping head shots. Even in a window manager doing things like grabbing the edge of a window to move it around is a lot easier now. While some may debate whether this mouse is as good as another mouse currently on the market, at least going from an older generation gaming mouse to this one is a big improvement. I suppose my only qualm so far is I fired up the utility in Windows to configure it where Linux is my primary OS. Also while some people say DPI does not matter, it seems like it helps when you turn off mouse acceleration and then use higher DPI resolutions to compensate along with a good polling rate. I would consider the result from this mouse once finding the right settings to be "perfect tracking".

I use to have a G902 or 901. I cant remember. I had it for a couple of years before the bluetooth or whatever wireless technology it was using started to go on the fritz. There were multiple solutions that led to multiple dead ends. I was devastated because it was an amazing mouse. It turns out, the problem was very common, and I was lucky enough to have it for as long as I did. I ended up leaving a bad review on Amazon, and bad taste with Logitech problems in general. I ended up buying a lot of cheap mouses (mice?), but there was always something that couldnt compare to the 902. After several cheap mice, I decided that if Im going to spend this much might as well go for something like this. Im not disappointed in the slightest. I love this mouse. My girlfriend, who is a recent PC gamer convert, loves this mouse. There is a wireless version of this, but Im staying away from that until I absolutely think going wireless is something I need to do. This mouse feels comfortable. The customizable weights is a great idea. The customizable buttons are also great, too.
