Logitech - G502 HERO SE Wired Optical Gaming Mouse with RGB Lighting - Black

I am a female, so my hands are probably a "medium" in the overall world of hand sizes. My previous gaming mouse was too bulky for my hand and I was constantly getting hand cramps from using it. There was so much height to the palm rest and it was just uncomfortable.. I dreaded playing games because I would have to use the mouse. This one fits my hand much better and feels more comfortable against my palm. The thumb rest is aligned well and I like how the side buttons can easily be reached without having to move my whole thumb. The scroll wheel is adjustable to free spin and regular scroll. The dpi can be easily changed by the buttons on top next to your left click. Overall the installation was easy. I added 2 of my weights to the bottom and it plugged in and started working with no issues. I found it to be a great price on sale (~ $40) for what I was looking for at the time.

Purchased for a friend as a birthday gift since his older Logitech mouse (I believe it was around six years old) started to experience an issue with the right mouse button. After messing it with off and on since I use his computer occasionally I feel I have enough experience with the mouse to write a review but I wanted to be to be clear that this mouse is not my daily. Pros: Build quality and ergonomics feel solid and I felt no discomfort even after several hours of use whether the activity be gaming or just browsing. Actuation force needed for top and side buttons is minimal with average travel distance although I do feel a difference between the left and right top buttons when I press down but I think that has more to do with me than anything. Clicks are audible but not loud enough to be distracting. The top cover is not one solid shell so Left and Right mouse buttons have individual tops. If you game competitively (especially playing FPS) this is a must have feature. My Razer Lancer TE is a one piece top shell and feels sluggish compared to the G502 Hero when playing games like CS:GO Valorant and Overwatch. Buttons are mappable (to be fair almost all gaming mice can do this) and the mouse has a DPI clutch that can be used to adjust quickly for precision shooting and then resets back to the previous setting quickly. Weight is adjustable if you want to customize. I recommend maxing it out and then removing the weights in stages to see what works for you. Finally the heart of the mouse is the Pixart PMW3366 sensor that is usually found in higher end mice ($75 and up) and is what helps the G502 it punch above its weight when it comes to optics. RGB is present on the mouse but it is very minimal with only the G symbol and the DPI selection indicators being illuminated (can be turned off in software). The Logitech software (G HUB) has in my opinion one of the best UI's I have ever used and is generally easier to use when compared to the other RGB/control software I have used from some other companies. I also have a G910 Orion Spectrum I use as a secondary keyboard and G HUB works well with that too. When it comes to procedures like creating key bindings, making/saving profiles, and customizing the RGB it works quite well. Finally, the price which generally hovers around $50 which is more than fair for a quality mouse that will last you for years. Cons: RGB again is very minimal which could be an issue depending on visual taste. The mouse is kinda small and that could be an issue for someone with large hands especially if you experience discomfort with the thumb rest as you might find yourself pressing DPI clutch in the middle of a fire fight. It does have very gamer look going on which can be a turn off for some. The free flowing scroll wheel with clutch can seem out of place for some since this is marketed as a gaming mouse. I really wish they squeezed in at least one (preferably two) side buttons for the right side of the mouse. General lack of buttons could be an annoyance for games like a MMORPG.

This fan favorite mouse has been around quite a while now, with the price near the lowest it has ever been. For me this mouse met a lot of the criteria I wanted at the price I wanted. Negatives: Logitech's G Hub software leaves a lot to be desired. Some of the buttons don't feel all that great in quality (particularly the G5 button has a weird rattle on mine). I wish it were slightly larger for my XL sized hands (I find myself sliding my hand down the mouse to get my thumb lined up correctly on the buttons, which makes it rather uncomfortable after long sessions). It's pretty easy to accidentally hit the G7 and G8 buttons. Wired. Pros: The braided cable is 7-feet long and very flexible. The unlockable scroll wheel feels great. There are tuning weights included (admittedly I do not use them). The bottom slides really smoothly across the surface. There are many buttons that can be programmed how you like. Aesthetically it looks terrific. Has RGB that can be customized in the G Hub software. Price is a very compelling offer. Wired.

Get out of the way basic all black mouse, get yourself a black and white and be better then others. The white paint adds 1000fps and -400%recoil to all games. Add a pink skin and boom. +999 hotness and all the npc's will follow you off a cliff.

I’ve used the razer deathadder and razer naga and In my opinion they don’t even compare to the g502 hero. I’ve had the g502 for about 2 days and collectively used the mouse for 8 hours of gaming and 10+ hours of productivity and I am very satisfied with this mouse. I have pretty small hands and this mouse still very comfortable in the hand. I really cant think of anything that would make someone not want to purchase this mouse besides the fact that the scroll wheel down button is pretty resistant so if someone likes the use the middle mouse button then it might be a problem. However, there are 10 other programable buttons so for the majority I think this shouldn’t be a problem. The middle mouse button is also cold to the touch most of the time which isn’t bothering but it might annoy some people. I realized that the left wheel tilt button is easier the press than the right wheel tilt button (not by much). The hyperscroll is fun to fidget with. When I was working it was helpful but not that accurate. The left and right mouse buttons are really easy to press. For me it took a few hours to get used to because the mouse I was using right before (razer naga) had more resistant clicks. With the g502 I definitely feel faster in my movements in game and at work. The side buttons are really nice the click and easy to locate even in the dark. It did take an hour or 2 to get used to the positioning for me but it was very comfortable once I got it right. The rgb isn’t great but I personally like the subtleness or if (unlike the massive lit razer logo). The mouse itself is just as/a little less heavy than the razer naga but it’s good weight for me. The extra weights included feel premium but make the mouse a little too heavy (I do know some people that have up to all the weights in their mouse. It’s all up to personal preference). The grips on the sides and the glides on the button of the mouse are very nice and I have no problem moving or lifting the mouse. The glides are very smooth. I use my mouse on a steelseries mouse pad and it’s great. My palm wrests very nicely on the mouse and the texture is very comfortable. The software isn’t too great but gets the job done. I was definitely lost for a good 10 minutes until I figured out how to program the buttons. The on board memory is great because I can save my presets and never have touch ghub again. My favorite part of the mouse has to be the sensor. It just feels so much more accurate. I play rainbow six seige mostly and after getting the mouse I averaged 4-12 kills per game which was a huge step up because before with my naga, that has an atrocious sensor, my aim was very inconsistent and made playing not fun. Overall the mouse is amazing and personally I have no complaints.

It’s a really good mouse it has weights so you can make it as heavy or lite as you like. Programmable buttons and an infinite scrolling wheel.. software is compatible with windows and you can change the lighting color. The wire is a bit stiff a the mouse is big compared to other gaming mice I have

Nice mouse with working computer app to hot key and program different profiles for multiple games/programs. Lots of weight changing functions and buttons.

This is a great mouse! I have a big hands and it fits pretty nice in my hand and nice weight to it even without extra weights that comes with. Make sure download the Logitech software for this or else your side lights won’t work all the time. I’m putting 4 star review here because when I received my package the box was little beat up, almost as somebody didn’t care and put something heavy item on top of it. Overall this is a great mouse and I love it how you can customize the lighting, weights, and program other buttons.
