Hack PC into PC

I really wanted to fall in love with this mouse. This kind of form factor with a little edge to rest your thumb on isn't popular enough with mouse OEMs. I'm also against still liking heavier mice despite the recent trend towards ultra-light mice, and this thing feels nice and solid with the extra weight. Finally, I really liked that the mouse is WIRED. After reviewing a number of wireless mice, I've found that regardless of claims, they're always prone to connection errors, and even if they…

  • Only positive
Cons
  • Almost everything there

Click/double-click causes problems all the time.

This would be a great mouse if it wasn't for the constant clicking/double clicking. The first was very short. I was playing/designing a lot back then and the click problem came to light very quickly. Revane was great and made the exchange. I didn't do much with gaming/design while I had the new one, so it took longer for the click issue to show up. I am convinced that this is a design flaw in the mouse itself. I won't buy another one of these. The price is not worth it with the click problem…

Pros
  • Still happy
Cons
  • Compatibility

Excellent mouse except for one flaw

I'm not an IQ pro gamer 187329871, the buttons are enough for me. The button placement is solid enough to keep me happy. The only issue I had with this mouse is that the scroll wheel spins freely now and it's a hell of a headache in most FPS games since the wheel normally switches weapons in most games. For example, you're running out of ammo in-game and want to switch to a spare ammo. Well, you will switch to that, but switch back about 3 times. Something that breaks the game rules at the…

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Some minor things

Let me start by saying that I have used many gaming mice, for example over 50 of them. The Logitech g502 has always been a quality mouse and a lot of people just love this thing for the design and the overall quality of the mouse; That being said, there are a few things to consider when considering purchasing this particular mouse. The advantages of this mouse are quite simple and are as follows: - Comfortable shape for most right-handed people, but should be more comfortable. Comfortable for…

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • Updates available

Worth it if you're lucky

Logitech seems to have either a quality control issue or a shipping issue because the switches in these mice are absolute junk. The mouse is honestly one of the best mice I've ever used while it worked - until it stopped. For less than a year and $75, you're getting a mouse that feels great in your hand until the scroll wheel starts jumping and left-clicking starts with a random double-click and then stops clicking at all -- all along interruptions. There are plenty of reviews you can find by…

Pros
  • Looks good
Cons
  • old

best laser. but what about the buttons?

I play a lot of different games so I need as many buttons on my mouse as possible. I had a g502, and then when I saw the upgrade, like any serious gamer, I needed 'better'. Laser and precision are the best I've touched. BUT! Need to add this laser to the g600 mmo mouse and/or slightly improve the button layout for short fingers. I often press extra buttons on my mouse and the thumb button causes me to hold the whole mouse in an uncomfortable way. In summary, if frames per second are your thing,

Pros
  • Hero 25K sensor after G HUB software update, this update is free for all gamers, our most advanced 1:1 tracking, over 400 fps, 100-25600 dpi maximum sensitivity and zero anti-aliasing, filtering or acceleration
Cons
  • Modern

Unusable accessory mouse

I bought this mouse to replace a Logitech Performance MX, I've had 4 of these in the last 2 years and they were great until they became the infamous Double got click problem. I didn't want to spend another $99 on it and was hoping this mouse would perform better. Good features: - Outwardly a nice mouse just to make it react - In freewheel mode, it only scrolls with the mouse movement even if the wheel doesn't move at all - Not ergonomic at all, it will hurt your hand after 10 minutes of use…

Pros
  • 1 year limited hardware warranty
Cons
  • Not bad but...

Really well made mouse. Logitech did it!

I haven't used Logitech mice since they discontinued the G9. Since then I've been using the Roccat Kone XTD which died after serving me for over 5 years. After reading reviews of the G502 I decided to give it a try as I really liked the overall design and feel, it reminded me of the G9. New. Now that I've used it, I'm glad I did. The updated model has a very thick and flexible cable, which seemed to be the main disadvantage of the original 502. Add to this a truly amazing sensor that is very…

Pros
  • Switch Button Mechanical Tension: A metal spring tension system and pivot joints are built into the left and right buttons on a gaming mouse for a crisp, crisp click with quick response.
Cons
  • Neutral
