Revainrating 2 out of 5

I would be happy to swap my G900 for this all-purpose mouse. and then no. So close

This review is written after several hours of testing, I really wanted to like this mouse. I feel like I have to make this review with some VERY important points that future buyers should consider until they are fixed by Logitech: The research and development that has gone into this is impressive to make a favorite mouse from scratch to shape and make them wireless battery and new hero sensors keep the same shape? Excellent work. It all ends here for me. I have about 10 high quality mice and release them slowly to keep clutter to a minimum. The G Pro Wireless is my new gaming mouse that never gets better. it is not enough). But battery life falls short with the options Logitech is currently offering. So I saw this G502 as an amazing check box plus more buttons. where to start The most important thing about a mouse is the "feel". I grabbed it and I liked the shape, I started moving it... what's that sound? I put it off more. Some. feels out of place. I shook it and understood. The mouse scratches my carpet. I checked the legs/stickers. no You are on the level. I checked for plastic defects from manufacturing. still no. I tilted the mouse slightly to see which edge was snapping. I was so pissed, that stupid triangular structure on the pinky? It continues to the bottom of the mouse and is noticeable enough to scratch the pad underneath. I've tried 5 other types of mouse pads and all but my metal pad scratches and rubs the pads. Readers, move whatever mouse you have. , especially with a "gaming" mouse, you want it to be buttery smooth. No, the texture printed/molded on the mouse itself is too intense. For example, lift the mouse up a millimeter with your thumb and move the mouse, it leaves a huge scratch/scuff mark. So this is disappointing. I'm keeping the mouse, I ordered different sandpapers to fix this horrible design oversight. Further. Logitech, look, you're making me use your "G-Hub" software. This is so bad and so over the top. I hate it even more that you made me download even the mouse. Good. I know that the hardware incompatibility issue with the classic Logitech mouse software isn't just related to that, your later Hero Touch mice will work with it too. It's just a clear attempt to deprecate support for your old software, and you've forced $150 mouse buyers to upgrade to beta. The software looks like you hired twice as many graphic designers as programmers. You know what people agree on when it comes to software? Simplicity, no Rubik's Cube wrapped in flimsy fabric. What is G-Hub? Do you want to change DPI? Of course, just put in your dpi - just kidding, you'll have to take every single dot on the slider (it will change your mouse to that if you click and hold it, have fun with higher dpi settings) and try then figure out how to drag the dot and you need to move the dot UP from the dpi line. Yes they made dpi options in c level mobile game. Second, different mouse profiles? Good luck, apparently the mouse only works with 1 profile if you install "built-in memory". So, as far as I know, you can't use multiple profiles. And the third reason why G-Hub is amazing. The game crashes. Yes, this week I've had 2 games without the latest updates that have never crashed since I bought them to date (weird the day I installed G-Hub and nothing else). Once I killed G-Hub in task manager. Played the same games for several hours, no more crashes. Good. So skip G-Hub. OH THAT IS TRUE! Your mouse without it will forget everything in the world! So after playing the game, turning my G502 on turns it into a standard RGB nightmare. You will need to restart G-Hub to get the mouse working again. I will keep this mouse, I will make sure it works, but the fact that I use sandpaper for a cosmetic defect and hate every moment of your forced use of the G-Hub is such a disappointment that I have never experienced logitech . I expected the price to be seen as a premium user, instead I feel like a beta tester who had to pay to use it. UPDATE EDIT 2 weeks later: To fix the horrible scratching/rubbing, this is the texture combo (pink side) and the mouse feet are MUCH thin and the engraved grooves for the mouse feet are touching the mouse pad/surface. . I bought third party mouse legs and sanded down the texture on the bottom. No more friction. THIS is the mouse I paid for, now it's buttery smooth and no longer scratches my desk. do that. It's not even that I received a defective product, it's that I had to go through 6 different contacts. It was just bad body shape and mouse feet that were MUCH skinny.
