Logitech G502 Hero High Performance Wired Gaming Mouse, Hero 25K Sensor, 25,600 DPI, RGB, Adjustable Weights, 11 Programmable Buttons, On-Board Memory, PC/Mac - Black

The Logitech G502 Hero is fantastic. It feels solid and comfortable, with precise tracking that makes gaming a breeze. The customizable buttons and adjustable weight system let me tailor it perfectly to my setup. Build quality is top-notch, and the software, once you get used to it, is very powerful. Definitely one of the best mice I’ve ever used—worth every penny.

If you talk about this mouse, you really need to talk about the Logitech software, There are 3 different downloads at the Logitech website to change your 5 profile settings if you don't like the default settings on the G502. The one they will suggest first is G HUB and it is by far the worst and most convoluted to learn to setup and use. The second which they are phasing out is Logitech Gaming Software. (If you install both G HUB and Logitech Gaming Software, and you try to use Logitech Gaming Software, it will not allow you to use it, and it will tell you to use G HUB instead even though many FAQ's at the Logitech website still refer to Logitech Gaming Software.) However, the third, and the one you should download and use, is called Onboard Memory Manager. It is very simple and easy to figure out, does almost everything you want it to, and it doesn't also install a lot of other crap on your system. NOTE: If you do wind up installing G HUB or Logitech Gaming Software, the setting DPI LIGHTING for "ALWAYS ON" is unchecked by default and is not in Onboard Memory Manager. (By default, when you change profiles, the side DPI lights on the G502 briefly go on and then go off to indicate what profile you are on.) I suspect this setting is unchecked by default for a reason, because I could not get it to work properly when set to "ALWAYS ON". When this option is checked the side DPI lights would not stay on the proper profile indicator to indicate the current profile setting, and they would randomly change (such as when I used the scroll wheel.) What I did was to keep this setting in G HUB or Logitech Gaming Software unchecked. Then in Onboard Memory Manager I would select a fixed color for each profile so I would always know what profile I was currently on. (BTW, this is similar to what is on the wireless G305 mouse but they are only small dots of color, you can't change the default colors, and they only select up to 5 different DPI settings on only one available onboard profile as opposed to the 5 profiles each with 5 DPI settings on the G502.) Unless you have a desire to be frustrated, do yourself a favor and just download Onboard Memory Manager. On the G502, the only reason I can see for using G HUB or Logitech Gaming Software is if you want to change settings for mouse click one or two, which Onboard Memory Manager won't allow, or if you want to setup profiles for individual games and software on your computer, in which case I would lean in favor of Logitech Gaming Software which is much more intuitive and easy to use. All that being said, once you get past setting the G502 up, the mouse performance is outstanding. I didn't add the weights since the mouse felt fine to me. And even though the highest default DPI setting is at 6400, you can set it all the way up to 25,600 if you wish. Also, I have small hands, and even though some of the buttons I will never be able to push without really reaching, it's very comfortable using for long periods of time, and for the current price you can't beat it.

Only after a couple play sessions in BF6 with this mouse, I can already feel how much more precise I can be with it. My first play session was a bit rough getting used to the feel of it. It’s quickly getting more natural. I switched from a ghost keyboards m1 mouse to this. The left and right mouse clicks feel a bit more stiff than my m1 mouse which I like. Easier to avoid accidental inputs. All the other buttons feel solid with clean clicks. The mouse wheel is a very different feel with more significant bumps while scrolling, but it adds a more tactile feel being easier to control. It also has a release that lets it just spin for probably more work type use rather than gaming. It’s easy to setup, basically plug and play but a bit confusing. It comes with of course, a charging cable but the Bluetooth usb comes in some sort of housing that plugs in by the charging cable. Not sure if that is better or worse than how I have it now which is the usb receiver plugged into the back of my pc. Works fine. Looking at the Logitech website shows up to 48 hours of battery life with default lighting, or up to 60 hours with no lighting. Fully charged it showed 26 hours (25 hours now at 96%). And turning off the lighting at 96% only goes up to 28 hours. Which is plenty as I usually plug my wireless device in to charge after use. My favorite part of this mouse is how comfortable it is. It’s a bit thicker filling in my smaller hands more compared to my m1 mouse. Another nice added comfort feature is the thumb ledge. It keeps my thumb off my mouse pad, and helps with control of the mouse in high stress fps situations. The weight also help in precise aiming. My m1 mouse was 65g , the g502 is 111g plus the 1 big weight and 2 smaller weights I added making it go up to maybe 119g. Highly recommend this mouse, and will try to update if it fails prematurely.

I bought this 4 years ago. And its very comfortable. Its fast and the buttons are alright. Clicks are good. My only gripe is the mouse wheel. It feels terrible. Not the scroll itself but the ridges on the wheel itself that you touch. It doesnt feel good. Scrolling needed an adjustment in settings but overall its good. If you plan on changing settings or remapping the buttons you'll need to download G-Hub which is their app.

Bought this back in 2020 and it was an excellent mouse up until now. Feels good in the hand and I love the free scroll wheel. Now I'm experiencing the double click issue that many other reviews are mentioning. No amount of canned air seems to resolve it. Still, it was a great mouse for five or so years.

Will always buy this mouse, good quality, customizable weight, cheap, corded, customizable buttons. Never have reliability issues with this guy.

One of the best peripherals we've ever used. Company wide we use this and will recommend and will buy again...in bulk hehe. Feels great and the adjustable weights make it tailored for each person. USB connect so there's no recharge to worry about, but it can get in the way. The scrolling of this thing is awesome, I find myself playing with it too. The gaming performance is spot on with adjustable DPI and settings for each game. It is a bit louder when clicked then some other gaming mice. Great gaming mouse or just a great mouse all around.

This will most likely always be my favorite mouse. The smoothness of it is awesome but I really think it's the thumb rest on it that does it for me. That and the diversity of weights you can use to alter it for preference along with gaming performance helps. The adjustable scroll wheel can be handy along with the mouse sensitivity options with a simple click. If you're new to gaming I really feel this should be your first mouse to try!
