Question 1

Can you reprogram all the buttons or are some of the buttons fixed so they only control the DPI or switch the profile?

Accepted Answer

You can reassign every button on this mouse (even the DPI buttons) except for the toggle button that controls the wheel functionality. The mouse's wheel can toggle between hyper scroll mode (where you can spin the wheel and it keeps spinning freely) and regular notched scroll mode. The button that toggles this mouse wheel functionality is specifically used for that purpose only.

Question 2

Does the middle mouse button (scroll wheel) depress easily? That's the one thing I didn't like about my MX518, it felt mushy at times.

Accepted Answer

it certainly does not feel "mushy".  the (only) issue that ive found is that i frequently push the scroll wheel button to the left or right when i intend to push it straight down.  i have found that the best solution to this issue is to push the scroll wheel forward rather than down.  this gives more consistent results

Question 3

Is this compatible with Mac?

Accepted Answer

The mouse will work with Mac.  I use a Mac at work and a PC at home.  From my PC at home I can program the DPI settings and save them into one of the profile slots on the mouse so that they will be the same on my Mac at work.  However, you will not be able to program the button functions for the mouse through the Logitech software on the Mac.  Some of the buttons are programmable via the Mac preferences pane but I've found that the Mac doesn't seem to pick up the left and right scrollwheel buttons.  The DPI shift button works as expected though.Also, i want to point out that the Logitech G software does have a Mac version.  And I am able to program my Logitech g500 and g602 mouse with it.  My guess is that the surface calibration feature of the g502 is the thing that's holding Logitech back from making this fully compatible with Mac.  They've been progressively making their other G mice mac compatible over the past couple of years.  So hopefully the g502 will be added to that list at some point as well.

Question 4

How is it for a lefty?  I'm ok with most "righty" mice, unless a lot of buttons get in the way.

Accepted Answer

I'm a righty but I can use a mouse in both hands. Use my left hand for mousing at work and my right at home since I spend to many hours in front of computers during a day. This mouse is bad for lefties for sure. The angle and button placements makes it a no go in my opinion.
