Logitech G502 X Wired Gaming Mouse – LIGHTFORCE hybrid optical-mechanical primary switches, HERO 25K gaming sensor, compatible with PC – macOS/Windows – White

Love this mouse! Huge upgrade from my G402
Before buying this mouse, I was a G402 user since 2015 and as most button switches including the primary ones reached EOL. I was definitely sure that my next upgrade’s gonna be the renowned G502 series.
I was very excited when Logitech announced the new G502X but due to the pricing, I wanted to try the older G502 Hero first when it went on sale at $35 recently. The G502 Hero felt pretty similar to G402 in terms of ergonomics with small improvements in accessibility of side buttons. But I felt the mouse was heavy even without the weights and didn’t like the metal scroll wheel. Even the RGB fun faded off just after a few hours and honestly found it distracting. (After 3 days of using).
So I wanted to try the wired G502X as well and decided to return one of them at the end. After trying out the G502X, I felt the improvements addressed every shortcoming G502 Hero and G402 did for me.
The new shape offers much better support to the left part of palm (Just below index finger) with some increased height there. The DPI shift button, the side buttons, especially the ones next to left click felt even more accessible and practical to use them more than ever before. The new switches feel more clicky, tactile and satisfying but needs a bit more effort to click. Should see how long these switch will last in the long run.
The lightened scroll wheel with rubber grip feels more mature, the feel of ratcheted mode is lighter yet snappy and satisfying. Can assign custom scroll functions. And the overall aesthetic feels really mature and evolved, ready for the future.
I usually have a mixture of palm and finger grip and the mouse perfectly fits in with the improvement in right part of the palm (Just below index finger) support and quickly got used to the feel of mouse (Usually a few minutes of break-in time). The skates are much larger and a huge step-up. The mouse glides much smoother which complements well with the lighter weight of mouse (Lighter than both G402 and G502 hero).
But also, the wired G502X is expensive, no RGB but most notably the cable is a bit worrisome. I still would prefer the wired version just for the years of life one can squeeze out without worrying about battery wear.
Finally, I returned the G502 Hero and am gonna use the G502X for the coming years. Despite the price, I don’t regret it. It’s an agile mouse with a ton of functionality. If you are upgrading from an older mouse like me or a lower-end/basic one, go directly for this. But if you’re already happy with the older G502/similar, need for this mouse is much weaker and it’s up to you.
Thank you for reading so far. Happy holidays!

G502 is always a great mouse, though this feels like a few steps backwards from prior models
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.

A really good and lightweight mouse, excellent for office work and gaming.
Overall rating : 9/10
Pros:
-High DPI range from 80 to 24000
-Lots of reprogrammable buttons
-Ergonomic shape makes it comfortable to use for long periods
-A good quality mouse wheel that can either spin freely, allowing you to quickly scroll through documents, or more granularity when you need more precision
-Logitech G Hub app allows you to set different key profiles for different apps, and allows you to link different keyboard macros to buttons on the mouse
Cons:
-The lack of RGB might be seen as something bad by some, but personally I think the mouse is great even without it
-The free scroll mode for the wheel is harder to control precisely, and is really sensible to the slightest movement
-For the price, a detachable cable would be better
