Logitech G502 Hero Special Edition High-Performance Wired Gaming Mouse, 25K Hero Sensor, 25600 DPI, RGB, Adjustable Weight, 11 Programmable Buttons, PC/Mac - Black and White

I finally had to bite the bullet and buy a new mouse after my old wired Logitech gaming mouse died after over a decade. Probably a good/combined 8hrs/day over that 10 years it was used for work and gaming (lets see how this one holds up ;P). The ergonomics of this mouse are far superior to my old one. I could never "naturally" reach the extra/furthest thumb button on my old one which made it only useful for working, terrible for gaming. Yet on this mouse, every one of the thumb buttons are placed naturally. Well, TBH, 4 of the 5 are. The 5th (the solo one between the upper and lower pairs) is a little bit of a stretch for my thumb, but doesn't compare to the stretch on my old mouse. Might also have to do with how I hold the mouse. I normally/naturally don't "cup" it around my whole hand. I usually "claw" it and hover over it reducing the hand span. The customization via the program is amazing and extremely versatile. I've already programmed specific buttons for various different profiles including Sketchup, AEC Collection software, 3D renderers, etc. Also, the ability to customize the overall weight is GREAT. Initially, I never thought this would be something I'd toy with but for work, I love having all of the weights in as well as loving the "toggle" between clicks/steps on the scroll wheel and changing it on the fly to "free-wheeling" and smooth. Yes... That's a feature, it's not "broken"... I primarily bought this for my home PC but loved it so much, I just bought another one for my office PC. Coupling this with my 3D Connexion SpaceMouse at the office for modeling has been nothing but great.

It was very comfortable in my hand. The battery life is decent, and you can still use it while it’s plugged in which is nice. The added customizable weights are cool, but a little beyond my needs so I have not used them. Having the G-tech app to support the features is pretty cool. You can update settings and also build presets depending on what game/program you’re using. It feels very well constructed in your hand, not cheap at all. You definitely get what you pay for!

Great mouse

Pretty good, the middle mouse button (scroll wheel button) is broken after 5 years.

I've bought a lot of mouses, this is by far my favorite

Great mouse. Solid build quality, nothing creaks. Had one issue where the right switch would get slightly stuck for a brief moment when pressing and holding it for a time and releasing (like aiming down the sights), especially when the room was cold. The mouse was replaced by Amazon and since then I have had no issues, including the dreaded double-click. However, I probably use the mouse less than some, so maybe mine hasn't worn-out as much to have issues. Hopefully will never have. Another small thing to note is the weight - this mouse is on the heavy side even without the added weights. For each their own though. I'm fine with the weight.

I bought this mouse on sale to replace my original G502 that I had for many, many years. My previous one had the pads wear off and the M1 eventually stopped being reliable. This one worked well for a few months, but now it's started up with an issue where M1 will not remain held. This means you can't drag the mouse to drag files or drag to select multiple files. Sometimes it'll register holding the mouse button as a bunch of clicks, which means it'll do all sorts of crazy unexpected things during normal use. This also means it's pretty much worthless for gaming, which is the primary purpose I purchased this for, but also pretty much any other regular use (I work from home, so this has caused me headaches for work, too). This is apparently a long standing issue that I found all over google, as well as some recent reviews, however it doesn't appear to be something Logitech has resolved at this point and time. I cannot recommend this mouse at all, as the likelihood of experiencing this appears to be pretty high with this model. It's a shame because the G502 is one of the best peripherals I've ever used in my decades of PC use and gaming, but it appears the quality of the device is no longer reliable.

Fast response time, I can't handle 32,000 DPI! LOL. I love this mouse, it literally changed my gaming experience for the better. Being able to program buttons & assign macros on a per game basis is fantastic. The included weights are perfect for me as I'm not into the current trend of ultra-lightweight mice. A little more battery life would be nice but the wireless/charging solution is ingenious. Yes, I know about the power pad upgrade but it's an additional $150 and the pad itself isn't very big (I use a Razer Gigantus). Regardless, I would highly recommend a mouse pad specifically designed for gaming to get the smoothest movement from the super smooth glide pads. Buy this mouse, you won't regret it.
