One extra point in this video could be about RGB effects in the mouse.
I just bought 502x used the standar for 8 years and played professional for about 6 of those 8 years, mouse lasted til the end, so durability will never be an issue, great mouse
I just bought my first ever aftermarket mouse and the simple addition of thumb and pinky rests changed my desk-life. I didn’t know. I DIDN’T KNOW.
Great review, no fluff, just all the needed info. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful! Hope you enjoyed enough to sub
Great review and breakdown. Thanks!
I have been using G502 Hero for 5years now and recently decided to go lightweight (tried razer viper v2 pro) and for the life of me couldn't get used to the weight reduction (missing all mu shots and barely staying on target), spent 2 weeks with it and just returned it. I ordered the G502 X Plus and waiting for it to arrive. I appreciate the extra weight on mouse.
I agree heavy mouse with higher dpi settings have more control over it
Heavier mice are more staple. It takes time to get used to lighter mice and in worst case you have to relearn how to aim quite a bit.
Let me know how it feels considering it's about 20 grams lighter than the g502
@@Born2Legit Got it 10 days ago and I'm really loving it. Same aesthetic as the original 502 (which is my favourite) but with really premium build. The battery life is great, last me about a week (10-11h usage/day). It took me about a day or 2 to adapt to it while gaming as I got my aim screwed while using the viper v2 pro. The weight difference is not noticeable to the original 502.
Got superlight vs basillisk v3 pro. And i have to say each of them have their own pro and con. I’m active mouse user who basically changing mouse often so adapt for me is really easy tho i prefer design of 502x plus, i really love logitech design tho, their specs is bit behind razer. Basillisk v3 pro have active 4000hz polling rate, stable latency and connectivity. But i love that they bringing back powerplay. I hate to charge my mouse with cable, too lazy.
I'm so used to having the 4 thumb buttons and 3 buttons next to left click on my G700s that I've not actually thought about buying anything newer because they all have fewer buttons or the buttons are in terrible locations. That GShift feature might actually change my mind though. I love binding most of the actions I like to use in the heat of battle to the mouse as I often struggle to find the right key on the keyboard in a panic.
I have repaired my G700s twice now with new left/right switches and a new motherboard. I swear I will not let it die!
@@PandaXpress17 does yall have left and right scroll click if not those are 2 more programmable on the g502
@@jgvtc559 Yeah it does, actually! It's one of the first mice I've ever had with the scroll left/right clicks. Can't go without it, now.
Got the G502X Lightspeed version in black (my first ever G502) and i'm freakin loving it. The only thing that stopped me buying a G502 before was the non-removable sniper & thumb button on the side. Absolutely hated it. Now that they've pulled a razer on that thing (on Basilisk Ultimate it is removable), got it ASAP.
Using a Razer Basilisk Ultimate on the side and i must say that mouse has a very unstable scrolling experience. You cannot switch weapons in games only relying on the scroll wheel steps because it is not registering scrolls until you push the wheel a little bit further in order to complete its registering... When i opened it up i saw that it's using a cheap potentiometer system rather than an Optical encoder like Logi products. And that potentiometer is wiggling back and forth as you scroll the wheel causing those scroll skips. I've managed to tuck a toothpick (yes a freakin toothpick) in the enclosure in order to prevent it to wiggle, and it improved the scroll skips to a managable degree. If anyone is interested in it i can send photos of it.
Anyway, stay away from Basilisk ultimate and V2. Stick to G502X.
502x has a changeable snipe Button :)
@@GevatterToth yeah i know. that's why i bought it ASAP.
Have G502 Proteus for 6 years still working great and got the wired version of 502X its upgrade in every way - you cant go wrong choosing this mouse.
I hope 502X doesn't have double clicking issues, I'll have to wait about a year before buying one.
@@KanadeTachibanaBlackMidi they made it with new quote - ''optical-mechanical switch technology''
Now ordered this mouse thanks to your many mouse reviews :)
Hope you enjoy it!
I have the old 502 wireless and its as of late not been charging correctly. I've just reached out to amazon for a replacement which they said they could only offer a refund. Didn't realise there was an updated version until now so have just ordered this. Should be here tomorrow... love the 502 series and couldn't use anything else now. Looks like my current one knew he had an updated brother and gave up the ghost 🤣
great review video! I've missed the infinite scroll wheel hitting terminal velocity
🤣
nice one Age...ordered the white version so eager to see how its over the g903 which I never felt really comfortable with.
Hey Airblazer!
I’ve been wanting to replace my g502 for a while now, looks like I know what I’m getting myself for Christmas
I have the Wired one, does the new one feel completely different? Its on my list for new accessories 👍
Is there a noise from the mousewheel when the mouse is moved fast? What material is the surface of the wheel?
On the old G502 the mouse wheel was lose if you made fast flicks, did they fix it with the new version? :)
Hello, can we assign new macros to Scroll Up and Scroll down keys in G Shift mode? I guess these keys are also programmable. If that so, I will be so glad to buy newer version G502 X Plus. By the way I have 4 G502 :)) one is cordless. Others are regular one, KDA, G502 SE andG502 Hero. Thanks for your answer.
im getting a g502 lightspeed, i think its still holds pretty well
I had the G502 Hero for years and recently got the G502 X Lightspeed, which is 20 grams lighter, and it feels a lot better, imo. Hopefully, we will see a sub-80-90 gram in the future.
I use the g502 proteus spectrum. Im thinking about getting the g502 x ls. So much hate on it though. I have a 70gram mouse (its very cheap, but still 70g) and it feels almost too light...
The classic G502 was my first ever mouse, and I loved it to bits. Still keep it in my bag and use it at school and such. Swapped over to the G502 Hero cause I got it from a friend and it was in better shape than my own G502. Now seeing this I think it's finally time to let my first ever now 7 year old gaming mouse rest.
i still have a MX500 from the early 2000s, Logitech mice are awesome.
Dude why is your voice so relaxing I love it
I was born this way. Sub for more relaxation ☺️
"Helllllooooo..." ☺
That mouse mat is much more interesting to me than the mouse. I have an ASUS ROG Chakram mouse and bought that ridiculously expensive Qi charging mouse pad along with it expecting it to constantly power the mouse but instead, it's just a tiny corner far away from where you have your mouse when you use it so it basically never charged anything because either you'd be using the mouse and not be in the charging area or your PC would be off and it wouldn't have power to charge.
You need to change settings in BIOS to have power to USB ports even when PC is turned off.
@@owca6666 no it's not that. It wouldn't even charge while three pc was on. That mouse pad only charges in there very top right corner
@@Oceanborn712 so put it in the top right corner
@@MMAJP182 The whole point of a charging mat is to be charging while it's on the mat so you can just use it and forget about it. That thing is just a glorified chi charging pad (which you can buy for less than $10) with a lot of plastic attached. Just not practical or worth the money.
@@Oceanborn712 but you could at least turn usb charging while the pc is off on in your bios lol and put it in the corner
Can I make the DPI buttons on the left of the left clicker into different buttons on Fortnite? Or are they only for changing DPI?
my ideal mouse would be this mouse but with 2 buttons on the right click button just like the left click button has them.
and 2 buttons right below the lock wheel buttons just like on the G903
Can the DPI button be programmable so I can use it for melee or Grenades?
my ghub app is different i dont have the options on the left side, i cant seem to customize anything to use keyboard shortcuts like enter, copy, paste... is this possible..
I'm wondering if this will still work like a wired mouse while it's charging on my desktop PC?
so big big question, are the new optical switches better than the stock switches in the g502? like...you know the dead switch double click flaw? i believe i saw a teardown that had the left and right click using the new switches but the top buttons use the unspeakable switches so i'm curious on whether or not the new switches show any sign of this type of wear and tear
In theory they should not get the doubleclick. The doubleclick on the older 502 models were caused by the mechanical switch wearing out and "clattering" the signal. But the signal on these new 502 models are optical, so there shouldnt be any clatter
@@woutchauvaux6672 Yeah I'd imagine if you could change the parameters of the debounce algorithm then that would be easily fixable, but no these companies refuse to implement that into their "software". It would be better if they could just refactor QMK for their mice.
Great review video. Where did you buy this terminator replica?
BEST LOOKING MOUSE IVE EVER SEEN
Can't find this on our market. Basilisk v3 Pro leaving me no choice. Should I wait for it?
Currently using a Model O Wireless.
Can I turn the mouse off and play wired with this? I know it's wireless that's thw whole purpose, I'm just curious if I could potentially do both?!?!
is it possible to switch between two different computers w/ this mouse?
106g .. weight is inversely related to price. My 45~47g Finalmouse $190~$350+ and my 50g modded GPX Superlight $250+.
I lovw logetich man
I just watche the headset vudeo
And now you got another video for logetich what a luck 🙂
It may sound weird but may I ask what is the lifetime of this mouse? I have used Logitech Mx Master 3 around 2yrs it started to have problems then the Mx master 3S took 1yr 😢. I'm not even gaming but this mouse look so nice
Wait, wheel is still noisy? Why they kept it like that?
The best video provided for mouses and headphones, keep it up, by the way Nice knife 😅
Also i have one question i look at your video with the corsair m65 rgb ultra wireless, i have it it is Nice, only problem it is not that confortable in my small hands. Today i buy the logitech g502 x plus, what is your opinion ? Which one is better. And thanks for all your great videos
exactly the kind of review i need, every other reviews just shits on g502x for its weight it gets very annoying
Is it noticeably wider than the last edition? i have bigt hands and hate having to smush my pinky for it to fit on the mouse lol
Not really czcams.com/video/Vv8ZzpYKMG8/video.html
I hate how they changed from "11 programmable buttons" to "13 programmable ACTIONS" All the buttons are exactly the same, they now just count scroll up and down as "programmable actions"
I just got the mouse and I like it, but the biggest problem I have with it is that it doesn't come with a charging dock the Razor wireless mouse. It would have been perfect if it came with a charging dock where you can put the dongle to use the mouse but noooo.
Could i use with cable for PS5?
Good work as usual. Keep up the good work. Hands down better than anything Razer has ever put out.
Sadly that Logitech kept the annoying noise scroll wheel.
I returned the G502 because the wheel, lateral texture (G502x seems better) and weight (it was very heavy for me).
Do you even lift bro
The mouse wheel is propably a big reason for its popularity in the creative/office environment.
i like your knife. which you use for unboxing 😊
Would love to see the comparison between the previous design. How does it feel compared to the regular G502? Is there anything the old G502 does better except the adjustable weights?
That video will be coming soon. 👍
Does anyone know of a decent gaming mouse that supports multiple devices? Like a logitech master series? The quality of those is amazing but they're not a great gaming mouse. I just want to switch it from PC to Mac
I don't think it would have killed them to add BT....Would have made it easier to go from my Laptop where I'll use this to my Desktop. Had to have the USB C , enough with the micro usb connectors. Rather than the pad I choose to plug it in when not using it . The pad has a wire...and my aim was to get rid of the wire.
This could be good for me if it's not triple the price of the original wired and the GPX is within its price range..
There's a cheaper wired one.
What model is your deskmat? So cool! (0:05)
amzn.to/3MxridV
Trying to find the perfect logitech mouse to pair with my g13. Might have found it.
your voice scares me and puts chills in my bones bro
I am not scary
I like the g502 but once I used the g pro x I will never go with heavy mouses again. Prawn would please compare razer deathadder pro v3 vs logitech g pro x
Quite possibly!
I thought the same then a year later went back for the extra buttons
Is this worth an upgrade if have the 502 already?
czcams.com/video/Vv8ZzpYKMG8/video.html
Will this work with razer's wireless mouse dock pro?
Seriously doubt it
i can't stand the mouse wheel on the G502 (at least on the proteous core and hero) simply because there's no grip so scrolling can be a disaster. does the mouse wheel on the G502 X provide more grip? it looks rubbery.
Can you remap the sniper button to another keyboard key?
Yes you can. I map mine to melee in most games
usb-c is cool, but the fact that you can bind g-shift+mousewheel up and down makes it worth it imo.
Hello, can we assign new macros to Scroll Up and Scroll down keys in G Shift mode? I guess these keys are also programmable. If that so, I will be so glad to buy newer version G502 X Plus. By the way I have 4 G502 :)) one is cordless. Others are regular one, KDA, G502 SE andG502 Hero. Thanks for your answer.
@@ErdemAKINErAdam Since gshift scroll wheel up and down are now bindable, i guess macros should work, but i can check when i get home from work to make sure.
@@Dirty2D I will be so happy. I am waiting for news from you. Also, do you think that the bindable feature of the scroll wheel key will come to the old version G502 with a firmware update? It would be really awesome if they did.
@@ErdemAKINErAdam It does not work to bind macros, i have bound it so i have volume up and down with g-shift and scrolling, but the tooltip says "Some Macros and other Commands are not available for assignment to Scroll Up and Scroll Down."
They will probably never add this to the normal g502, but we can allways hope...
@@Dirty2D I understand :( Can't you assign F2 key (for rename) on scroll up key. Or comma key on scroll down. I just wonder whether assigning regular key not macros.
Bought the white one first, but all my stuff is black so I returned it and got thw black one. Now I miss the looks of the white one and I'm this close to return the black and get a white one again....ffs
Do it! I got all black too but figured the white one off piece is fluid.
@@radlink14 I decided to do it! I want to buy it from amazon though, but apparently the White G502 x plus is not available there. Go figure.
Such a nice looking mouse, but it's just too overpriced. If they can go down to $110-$120, then I might consider it, coming from an MX Master 3S that's $99 and
Get the none RGB version, lighter and cheaper.
do they have a wired version
Yes
This or the Roccat Kone XP Air?
G502x plus!
Came to ask that same question. I might just have to order both and return the loser.
May still be too heavy for some for sure.
Some people do like mice a bit heavier.
It is good having a refresh of a classic.
Optical switches are a nice go to for sure.
Knowing virtually nothing about pc peripherals, or hardware in general, I bought an OG G502 about 8 years ago. Today, it's still going strong and still the best thing plugged into my pc. One of the best purchases I've ever made.
does it have bluetooth?
No
SIR PLEASE, WERE DID YOU GET THAT KNIFE!?
Wish 🤣
Optical switches means I’m buying today. Done deal
Logitech needs to offer something with 4000Hz Poll rate, which can compete with HyperPoll from Razer.
is it good for csgo?
Любовь с первого взгляда, жаль купить негде(
How could they not include wait
your voice is so nice
Thank you. Sub to hear more of it!
LOL i see Logitech still have the worst cables in the game. They freezed somewhere in 2000 looks like. I know its wireless, but my Glorious D, O, Razer Orochi v2 and Deathadder v3 as well, yet they have superb cables, specialy Glorious cables are amazing. Have Superlight as well, great mouse, but again - the worst cable under the sun.
How could they not include weights
Bought the mouse and hate it! The left side of the mouse is too small as my thumb hits the buttons located above the thumb rest area. Would not recommend this mouse. Sorry.
Im just here to see if the mousewheel is just as fucking loud as it is for the regulat G502 i want to throw the fucking thing against the wall its so ANNOYING, but i also dont want to use this "no resistance mode", alright going to check out other manufacturers if logitech can only produce mediocre shit, not paying 160€ for that.
Wondering why the hell they still kept the USB-A connector on the receptor...
Most computers are full of USB Type A ports.
Most motherboards have a single USB Type C Port on the back, more if you are lucky.
Only some recent cases have a front/too mounted USB Type C.
Idk why most ppl in the comment section don't mention lack of BT. I would never spend such money for 2.4Ghz Dongle "Wireless" mouse. It's my opinion, you might think differently. When I saw its price, I thought it has triple connection, BT, 2.4Ghz and Cable. Cuz, I was planning to use this mouse on multiple devices, however, I wouldn't carry, plug-in/out all the time the dongle and so on. Rather I'd buy wired version instead of such "wireless" . Probably with the half of that price.
I understand your pain. But Bluetooth is really bad for gaming. Excessive lag. If you want to use it across multiple devices then sure, but that's probably not the people who want to buy this
Good for CSGO???
This all probably depends on your grip and how heavy/light you like your mice.
so, is it worth getting even with the god awful software?
your shaky hands give me anxiety😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
And your comment gives me anxiety
@@TheProvokedPrawn good video nonethelesss
lmao why does anyone ever need that many options to change a DPI
you buy a wired mousepad for a wireless mouse lol
bro why are you tremouring soo much???? coffee??
Parkinson's
It's not. But it could have been. So maybe think next time before you're rude.
@@TheProvokedPrawn damn i just asked dont need to be soo hostile, fragile heart😚
Can you please give me that mouse I don’t really have a good one
@J M same as me. I started with the mx 518 too and ever since then I am in love with the g 500 series mice. None other that i tried fit in my hand so perfectly. I currently have the previous gen 502 lightspeed but i want to change it for the new one because it has 3 x the battery capacity. That is basically the only reason i want to replace the old one. I also strill have the g500s somewhere in the attic...had double clicking problem but until it worked it was awesome
Another reissue of the same awful mouse.
I bough this mouse and indeed its mouse wheel is so loud, this alone makes me think to get tid of it and get g5 again, or maybe g500. But not only mouse wheel, buttons are also noisy.
I talked to Asurion, live agent who was very very clearly a robot. It was a text chat, but he introduced himself as a live agent, and I even asked multiple times if he was a live agent, or if he was a robot, and I tried to trick it into saying it was a robot design to be a live agent, but it never did but it was so very clearly a live agent and I can tell because it tried to sell me a product like 15 times. I told him no it would say oh, but let me get this information from you and I said no I’m not interested like oh but let me read you the benefits, I said no again he’s like oh but all you have to do is sign this you don’t have to pay right now you pay on your next bill I said no he was like oh but you need to protect your devices so let’s go ahead and do it and I kept saying stop asking and it kept asking so the end of the conversation I asked if it was a robot and he was like no I’m alive agent and I was like if you were a robot who supposed to pretend like a live agent would you be able to tell me it was like something weird but it was most certainly a robot because I got zero information out of it that was useful and all I did was try to sell me a product
its to light my old g700 is superior over this crap
