Customer Ratings & Reviews

Out of the box, this mouse feels good and is ready to use - the full suite of features, though, aren't available to you until you go to the Logitech website and install the full device software executable. That allows for the full RGB color changing, extra button action selection, and a method of altering the DPI stages for the mouse. I wish that the software installed on its own, but the extra step is easy to do with most internet connections and unlocks the full potential of this mouse. I don't use the weights for the plate on the underside of the mouse, but I know some also like those and there are enough at your disposal.

Best mouse on the market. 11 buttons. Custom lighting via g-hub. Amazing mouse, even comes with weights.

The g502 is the best mouse. It’s smooth it’s light has plenty of addressable buttons for gameplay or office use, I have one at home and one at work!

This is my Second G502 Mouse. This one was slightly different than the first as far as the software goes. It was slightly more confusing to set up but I did eventually figure it out. Would buy again. Hopefully they fix their ease of use in their software or have better directions. As far as quality Its great. Like I said its my second I love this mouse and prob will buy another once this one stops working years form now.

Pretty good, affordable, kinda annoying with the need to use this appcto control the dpi but overall fine

The SE edition description shows that this mouse has 25,000 DPI. The box that I received claims that it has 16,000 DPI. It's been a decent mouse for the couple of days that I've had it. I don't have a use for all the buttons but it is better than the mouse before.

Very easy to use and it's definitely a plus having all the extra buttons. Highly recommend for any potential customer.

scroll wheel is a bit weird but it works great other than that. very affordable also.

Mouse works exceptional for 40 bucks, would recommend.

Pro: - really ergonomic, I don't fault any strain after prolonged use - really premium quality and feel, the mouse wheel is aluminum - unlike a lot of gaming nice it's not tricked out with too much LED's or gaudy logos so you can even take it to work - even without installing the program the buttons have use right out of the box, like going back in Google chrome Con: - nothing I can think of, it's a really good mouse Con: - not a lot

I had the previous model of this, which was basically the exact same thing with slightly redesigned button shapes, but the scroll wheel finally died after several years so I needed a quick replacement. This still has everything I need, and is the best gaming mouse I've ever used. The Logitech software is easy to use, and the mouse has 3 customizable profile settings, which can be switched with the middle button anytime you want. It has the basic L&R buttons, with a clickable & TILTING scroll wheel, which is really great since tilting wheels are becoming quite uncommon. Also, there is a button to allow freescrolling (spin the wheel and it keeps going, great for scrolling through long websites). There are 2 buttons just next to where your thumb rests, with a 3rd at the tip. Also, there are 2 more right next to the left mouse button, though they're easy to miss. The button to choose which profile you want can actually be remapped too. Also, the buttons aren't just a jumbled bunch like the many of the Razer mice, these are all perfectly located to easily reach. It's just a matter of remembering what you have mapped. Counting the scroll wheel as 3, the grand total of buttons that can be remapped is ELEVEN! The only problem I have with this model is that the wheel actually tilts too easily if you try to just click it. There's much more empty space next to it, and it's definitely a lot looser than the previous one, but it just takes time to get used to and isn't enough to lower my 5 star rating. There's also a wireless version of this, which costs an additional $100, so just go with what suits you best. I personally prefer corded ones myself because they're cheaper, and also so I don't have to worry about batteries, charging, or signal loss.

Arguably best wired mouse for the price. Will last you long.

The box says 16,000 DPI but via a free online update it is bumped to 25,600. This unusably high sensitivity is not necessary but it's cool to say you have. Why would you buy anything else? This mouse is affordable, reliable, and good looking. The super high 25,600 dpi is crazy at this price point.

I am biased as I love the 502. I bought my first Logitech 502 from Best Buy actually around the end of 2011 I think. I got a $50 gift card to steam at the time with the purchase (mouse retailed close to $100 at the time) which I told myself I would use to buy GTA:V when it finally released on PC (which wasn't until 2013 lol). Either way, I managed to use that 502 for a solid decade+ and honestly could have kept going with that mouse but it was starting to show it's age. Scooping a 502 Hero was a no-brainer replacement, especially when on sale. Couldn't be happier with the ergonomics of this mouse and button feel. In the same vein, you get a wide variety of mouse buttons and the ability to map and assign them to your heart's content as well as adjust the mouse's DPI on the fly. It's a great mouse that continues to review well and win people over after all these years.

Ive had various iterations of this mouse with the original G502 being my first then i owned the proteus core and the spectrum. Logitech once again with the 502 hero have outdone themselves. The mouse is incredibly responsive, the buttons are reliable the weight is awesome and for someone with larger hands the extended left and right button are awesome, I use this mouse for anything between MMO, RPG to FPS 10/10

Very good performing mouse, comfortable design. Durable.

It is an amazing mouse to play video games! I had so much fun with it comfortable and lots of buttons

This mouse has great feel and accuracy, which is perfect for FPS gaming, RPG's, MMORPG's, or any genre of gaming. The HERO has adjustable DPI settings all the way up to 18,000, but I never found the need to use that high of a setting. I loved the on-the-fly profile buttons so I could change the sensitivity to suit the in-game situation. For web browsing, I loved the un-lockable scroll wheel so you can free wheel through pages of text like a champ. The weight of the mouse is adjustable as well, but I didn't use the weights as I like a lightweight mouse. One downside I experienced was the overall grip was a little slick. I use a modified claw grip, and there is no lip on the right side of the mouse for your pinky finger to grasp. Therefore, I had to grip the mouse a little tighter than I normally do. It took several days to get used to, but once I did, I loved the mouse. Now, for the last and biggest downside; durability. After 2 years of use, the left mouse button started to fail. If I clicked and held, the mouse would sporadically click repeatedly on its own. This makes playing games and day to day activities nigh impossible to enjoy, and I have since switched to a Corsiar Nightsword. Review to come later!

Button placement and max weight is good. I have large hands and the shape is a little odd so sometimes when I use the left click the entire mouse wobbles.

It's great, I love it! The price is lower than other platforms, I really like it.
