The G502 X is a fantastic evolution, rather than a revolution, of an iconic fan favourite. It does what it says on the tin and more, not only being great to use every day but also looking flashy at the same time. The sensor is robust and works on most materials I tried it on, including an expensive mousemat, a cheap one, a wooden desk, plastic sheeting, paper, and even glass. For something designed with portability in mind, this is important. With the Logitech G502 X Plus, Logitech G is undoubtedly following the light and fast gaming mouse trend. While this isn’t the lightest wireless gaming mouse we’ve tested in 2022 – that honor goes to the Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro– it is slightly lighter than its predecessor as well as its aforementioned direct competitor, the Basilisk V3 Pro.
Story Saved You can find this story in My Bookmarks. Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right. Most Read In fact, Logitech has doubled down on making the Logitech G502 X lighter. It comes in at 89g, which is a significant difference over the Hero's 121g. Sadly, it doesn't come with the option to configure the weight like the Hero, which would have been a nice addition considering it's going for the same price as its predecessor. While the sensor didn’t get an update (not that it needed one), Logitech G has undoubtedly given its Lightspeed wireless connectivity a boost. Not only does the Logitech G502 X Plus use a wireless protocol that’s 68% faster in response rate than the previous generation, but it’s also capable of sharing one Lightspeed receiver with another compatible Lightspeed peripheral like our favorite, the Logitech G915 TKL, saving you a USB port. Despite this, the lighting is designed in such a way that your hand completely covers it when you're using the mouse, meaning that only a small sliver on the left-hand side is visible. This seems like an oversight, particularly when the Plus RGB version is more expensive and drains the battery life over twice as fast. With not a lot of misses, the Logitech G502 X Plus is among the best gaming mouse hits we’ve tested in recent years.There’s beautiful eight-zone RGB lighting that cuts across the palm rest – an obvious and welcome upgrade from the Logitech G502 Lightspeed Wireless’ two-zone lighting. It’s customizable via the G Hub software and comes with an active play detection feature that dims the lights under the right side of your palm when in use to conserve battery power. If you’d prefer a non-RGB version, however, the slightly cheaper Logitech G502 X Lightspeed Wireless comes with all the features of the G502 X Plus minus the fancy lights. Pair that with the fantastic thumb rest, longer buttons and you have yourself a superbly ergonomic mouse that boasts improvements we didn't know we needed from the Logitech G502 line. The scroll wheel was always the main complaint from users of the original G502, as it was heavy and loose. When you fired it with a stream of compressed air (something that became all the rage on Reddit and Youtube in 2018) it would sound like a plane about to take off. Massive changes, especially to cult classics like the Logitech G502 and the Logitech G502 Lightspeed Wireless, never truly go down well with the fans, and we expect some resistance against Logitech G’s decision to pull the weight customization feature, opting for a more lightweight design. After all, that’s one of the things that made the G502 among the best gaming mice out there. The Razer Basilisk V3 Pro is a solid performer that's fast, responsive, and heavy on features, from RGB lighting and 10+1 programmable buttons to next-gen wireless charging.
Secondly, the advertised battery life for the G502 X Plus of 120 hours is only achievable with the RGB switched off, and the RGB is the main feature differentiating the G502 X Plus from the G502 X Lightspeed. With the RGB running, the battery life is reduced dramatically to just 37 hours. The Logitech G502 X series is an evolution of the cult favourite Logitech G502, their most popular mouse since the first iteration was released in 2014.The G502X Plus is wireless (as is the Lightspeed model), boasting very little latency and 120 hours of battery life. This sounds great on paper, but there are a few caveats. Firstly, wireless gaming mice these days are generally latency-free as standard, so although the G502 X is relatively latency-free, it doesn’t really do this in a way that greatly surpasses other models.
