Logitech G502 HERO High Performance Gaming Mouse

Comment

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.

Let me start by saying that Ive used a lot of gaming mice, like, over 50 of them. The Logitech g502 was always a quality mouse and tons of people love the thing just based on the design and overall quality of the mouse; That being said, there are a few things to consider if youre thinking about getting this one in particular. The Pros of this mouse are fairly straightforward, and are as follows: - Comfortable shape for most right handed people, but should be more comfortable for people with medium to large size hands. - Good build quality which easily places it in the same category as other premium around this price point or even a bit higher. - Scroll wheel: this is one of my personal favorite features of the mouse. Allows infinite scroll to get through annoying EULA pages quicker and also quickly raise or lower volume on YouTube or other video streaming sites, but without sacrificing the much needed precision of the standard mouse wheel steps. Feels satisfying to use, but it is made of metal, which leads to a negative Ill be mentioning later on. - Sensor: The Logitech Hero sensor has been tested numerous times and found to be roughly on par with the PMW3360 series sensors (including the 3366 on the original g502) while being advantageous for usage in wireless mice due to the lessened draw of power which allows for a longer battery life. The Cons of this mouse make it hard to recommend to everyone, and are why I dont usually recommend it as a first choice. -Weight: My god. This thing is one of the heaviest mice Ive used for an extended period of time. I dont know exactly how much this weighs, but it feels pretty similar to the original, which I believe weighed in a little over 130 grams. Most gaming mice target a weight of 100g or LIGHTER, since lowering the weight of the mouse will make extended use easier and will allow for a greater degree of control. - Not a truly "safe" shape, this may or may not matter to you, but I felt that its worth mentioning. Obviously this is a mouse for right handed people, and it may not necessarily be a great fit for you if your hands are very small (I have very small hands and cannot reach the sniper button at all, but the mouse is still comfortable). I would say its a top tier mouse, but only if you can look past the weight. I would recommend that, as always, if you have the ability to do so, you should go to a local store and try some of the mice out to see which feels best to you, and make your decision after you have an idea what type of mouse shape you want. I wont recommend that you do or dont buy a product, so Ill leave it at that.

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 really wanted to love this mouse. This style of form factor, with a nice little ledge for your thumb to rest on, doesnt get enough love from mouse OEMs. I also am a contrarian in still liking heavier mice, despite the recent trend in favor of ultra-light mice, and this thing feels nice and solid with the weights added. Finally, I really liked that the mouse is WIRED. Having run the gamut of wireless mice, I have found no matter what the claims are, they always are prone to connection glitches and, even when they work well for a time, are a PITA to always remember to keep charged. The new hero sensor is also awesome. Because of these desirable properties I lived in a state of denial about the mouses many glaring flaws for months. Sadly, I am out of denial and into grief. The main issue with this mouse is the scroll wheel. It just sucks. The mouse semi-regularly just decides the scroll wheel is being clicked, resulting in lots of odd behavior. And then its hard to know when youve successfully clicked the scroll wheel down, because it requires so much actuation force and yet has so little travel. The free-wheeling mode of the scroll wheel is reasonably nice, with a satisfying long spin, but its almost impossible not to occasionally click the button that puts it back into incremental scrolling mode. This is a big deal, because the incremental scrolling mode is unbelievably ghastly and thus something you would never use voluntarily The tactility feels all wrong--both too abrupt/tactile and not sticky enough for something that is so abrupt/tactile. At the same time, the scroll wheel actually rattles because of the force of the increments--but only like maybe half the time. The combination of these features induces an overall sensation of unpredictability and randomness along with an unpleasant sound. A less critical but still painful flaw is the button placement. The idea of a little ledge sticking out is to use a palm grip and rest your thumb there, right? One would think so. However, doing so places one of the other two main side buttons totally out of reach. You have bend your thumb back so hard to reach back button that it basically means only a claw grip is truly comfortable--in which case the thumb ledge goes unused. So, all in all, yeah I think Logitech should go back to the drawing board and generate this style of mouse with different button placement and a much more nicely tuned scroll wheel.

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.

The mouse specs are straight forward, and covered in the description of the product. However, as a side note, there was no noticeable performance increase with the hero sensor compared to their last generation. That was to be expected since Logitech already had phenomenal sensors so any difference is probably on the test results not human use. That being said, Ill just do a quick pro, con list. Pros: - Solid construction - good button placement - buttons are light, and crisp - Decent support software whether that is Logitech gaming software or the hub. - Comparable price to competitor mice with similar features. Cons: - Scroll wheel is not rubberized like the G900 and is very hard to grip. - There is no comfort groove in the right mouse button like there is with the left (preference) - Mouse is heavy, even without the weights. If you like to do flick shots or lift your mouse up you may feel fatigue over time compared to other Logitech mice that weigh around 75grams. - Edit: There is no support for forward and backward scroll wheel as buttons in their software per this review. Would be nice to have like Roccats swarm software. Conclusion: This is a well priced product. The sensor is incredible, comparable to other brands such as Roccat, Razer, and Steel Series (among others like Zowie). It is heavy, more for larger hands, and the scroll wheel could have been rubber for grip. Ill personally use this for MOBAS and RTS but it is far too heavy for dedicated fps like Overwatch and COD. Id personally recommend the Logitech G Pro/Pro Hero if you are an FPS player that needs fewer buttons.

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..
