I own a G502, and I like how easy it is to scroll on "free scroll" mode. The only problem I have with it is lately it tends to "double-scroll" until I cycle the DPI back to what I have it on somewhat often, and there's no driver updates, so it's not that.

@vlycop7404 2 года назад

some here with the double scroll from time to time... But i really hate that mouse for the simple fact that i wanted the none rgb one, and 2 day before i had the money to buy it they discontinued it, and forced a 30$ price for a rgb led ... was so mad

I have two of G502, and both serve well. The first one with wire that I bought in 2015, and the second one w/o wire bought in 2019. I LOVE the free-spinning mechanism which help A LOT, either in reading PDF or codes.

@BooglePoots Год назад

That's ironic because I literally did the same thing lol. I loved the wired so I bought the wireless. I just upgraded my keyboard too, from the Logitech G Pro to the Logitech G915 but I'm still not sure how I feel about the low-profile keys at this point. I really loved the Pro keyboard but having wires is just too messy for me since I'm working with a laptop on a lap desk on my bed (no room for a desk). I just watched a video Linus did on the keyboard but he seemed to like the keys like that so maybe it's just me. It just feels a lot like laptop chicklets compared to regular mechanical keyboards

I tried ALL the Mice i could get my Hands on in Best Buy! YES,ALL ! There were only 2 mice that i felt comfortable in my hand with,the G502 & the Basilisk V2 . They were both on sale,I bought them BOTH ! I used them both,and i did like the V2 also. I use the G502 for now & set the V2 beside it. And yes,Windows will use 2 mice,but you can't do them at the same time.But since several Win updates it just didn't see the 2nd,so i just let it sleep. Probably have to reset the USB,just lazy. I also have the G933 Headphones,i love them too !!😎

@dovydas4036 Год назад

Mine is double clicking

@ROVictiM Год назад

I looked through hundreds of listings before buying this one and after a couple years with it, I find it obvious why that model got so popular, even with competition on the specs. When you looked at most models you immediately started to find crazy patterns. The ones that are solely focused on flashiness and lights but fails easily or has poor sensor registering, the ones skimped on quality for the sake of specs on paper, but you regret it the moment you unpack and connect it, the minimalistic ones to the point you really wouldn't call it gaming mouse any more, and the miniatures designed for hobbit hands or people that move the mouse entirely with their fingertips without palm contact.

The G604's buttons are much better placed for productivity, and I'd say even gaming. That one really doesn't get any attention, it's the only mouse I ever want.

Same. I've had mine for 6(?) years now and have zero desire to change to anything different. I have mine set up to go edge-to-edge on my 32" 1440p monitor in 3" of lateral movement and it is absolutely perfect for both my gaming and business use.

@DaBoomDude 2 года назад

My proteus core still going strong since the day i bought it from EB Games.(its the model with the good switches) It works beautifully with Linux (Piper for DPI/RGB and its compatible with OpenRGB) and I'm gonna run it till it dies... then maybe fix it and keep running it.

@ASilverNMeep886 2 года назад

Honestly, I think people underestimate how impactful the free-spinning (or Hyper-scrolling) mouse wheel is for experience as you are scrolling through spreadsheets, code, or documents. You can scroll slowly like a touch pad and then go fast as heck and then slow back down with minute control. Sure you could probably use the scroll bar or keyboard shortcuts, but it's right there in your hand. Cannot go back to another mouse without it. Bought my G502 from Best Buy and I will use it until it dies and probably buy another one.

@shadowsbane171091 2 года назад

Yeah, I bought it as an Gaming mouse, ended up using it as a productivity mouse, it’s quite good.

@beck4715 2 года назад

True. I have a G305 myself and I love it to bits, but the free spinning scroll wheel still makes me a little jealous of my friends who got G502s. The mouse itself would be a bit much for me but I still think about it any time I try to scroll through a document, spreadsheet, web page, code, and anything else similar haha

@darthollpheist1156 Год назад

I use the G600 for most things. I was using the USmartTech Venus for awhile. It's actually a good mouse. But I like having the extra buttons. I use them instead of buttons on my keyboard. So, I can basically keep my fingers on WASD and not have to worry about anything else. The side buttons are really easy to learn thanks to the "home row" bumps they have on the 13 and 16.

@dudeawsomeness1 8 месяцев назад

Bought the G502 Proteus Spectrum in 2016. Still going strong--good stuff. The scroll wheel is not as stiff as it was (not that I care much one way or the other) and I love the free-spin feature plus the extra buttons for gaming (knife, grenades, and such)

@ChrisThomasBone 2 года назад

I use it in music production. There's so many Ctrl-click/Alt-click/Ctrl-Alt-Shift-Windows-click shortcuts in Pro Tools, having the modifier keys mapped to the thumb buttons is such a workflow boost. I also like the weights, not because it's heavier though, but because placing weights in the front shifts the center of gravity to actually make it feel lighter, at least for my grip. On top of that, I've had it for nearly 5 years now and I can't tell a difference from when it was new. Those factors, plus the ergonomic layout, has me a very happy customer. When/if this wears out, I'm getting another one.

@LV_223 2 года назад

My only complaint is the overall durability of it. I've had 3 since 2019, all due to the Mouse 2 switch dying on me. Regardless, I still don't think I'll ever have another mouse. My hand size is perfect for it, I actually love the heavier weight, and the DPI switch being right next to Mouse 1 is extremely convenient for me. Since I game at a low sens, but work and browse at a higher sens, switching between them is just super fast and fluid. I actually just moved onto the G502 Lightspeed and I don't think I will ever get another mouse again.

@lobsangwhite 2 года назад

I used to use the weights to do the same until I switch to the wireless so the lack of cable change the center of gravity.

@@kornkernel2232 well, I jump from proteus to wireless so to me it was a big difference, but the last 502 wired and the wireless one seems to be the same mouse tbh. EDIT: Battery and portability is a huge advantage, I can go anywhere with my mouse and keep my shortcuts with me (only one profile on memory) and battery life is about 70H even when I akeep my RGB on all the time (only logo)

@sgt.sharky9832 Год назад

For me I fell in love with the button layout and the amount. It was the first mouse where I could program all the numbers on it for toolbelts in games, which allowed me to select quickly even in shooter games while on the move. The double clicking issue early on took a while to happen, I think the shortest time for me was 6 months, but I was gaming 8-12 hours a day. I remember I tried to give an off brand who's design was similar a chance and something else failed on that one I don't remember so I went back to the G502. The only major complaint I have ever had is I have pretty good sized hands and gaming with this thing for 8 hours makes my hand feel cramped. Its very narrow.

@HowlingMoai Год назад

I’d recommend buying new hands

@KindOldRaven Год назад

Gaming with almost anything for 8 hours will cramp up your hands. You're not built to do that ;p Little talked about issue, but many, many pros struggle with carpal tunnel, inflammation or cartilege issues due to too little variation in their movements.

@sgt.sharky9832 Год назад

@@KindOldRaven Yes I'm sure it would but my complaint has nothing to do with that. I noticed the difference right off the bat when using this mouse. I got my first G502 during Black Ops II gaming, playing with zombies. The mouse puts my ring finger and thumb too close together and forces my hand to cup. Something in that position was doing it.

@dsandoval9396 5 месяцев назад

The previous iteration of the app that I used with my Proteus was perfect, then they sacrificed user friendly functionality for "looks" in the new G-Hub app (I use with my Lightspeed) and it's a HUGE pain in the butt. It doesn't switch profiles when it should, so I have to set it to "persistent" before starting a game, I have to go into settings with a bunch of relegated settings like the red-headed stepchildren kept out of sight, but anything else you can lock for inside the operation menu with the rest of the settings as there's a 🔒 icon in those menus you can click (when "persistent" is off) but there's a 🔒 icon on the window that has the app profile (in the SAME page) but you CAN'T click it. The app was SUPER easy to read and understand in the old app as on startup everything was basically on the front page. Everything was, and it was easy to understand and operate. The G-Hub app you have to change menus/windows constantly when setting up new profiles. The mouse image (to see the key binds) you have to switch between side and top when the previous app had the image at an angle so you could easily see all key binds. Functions that did NOT need to be implemented, but they wanted it to look "bare and clean".😒 The previous app was easy to understand, easy to use, wasn't complicated, and it was neat and clean (as in not cluttered with options and overwhelming with functions). But it seems they wanted the new G-Hub to "look great" first and everything else is second. Now you have a useless "front page" of sorts that serves no purpose other than to have a cover letter presentation. Literally the few bits of information on the "front page" is literally presented to you on 2 or 3 other pages. Functions that you'd think would be grouped together but are separated by exiting entire windows/menus, just to have to go back to a setting the menu/window before to adjust when setting up a profile for the first time for the app/game. It's like they kept information presented at an absolute minimum, even presenting a couple of them in OTHER menus/windows, just to present the multiple menus/windows as minimalistic as possible as a "clean looking app" when all they've done is make it an app you have to switch back and forth and then find out sometimes it's just SHOWING you the info but you can't actually change that setting unless you go to another menu/window. Whatever. I HATE G-Hub with a raging hellfire passion only the heat from the center of a white dwarf can compare. So yeah.

@KoeSeer Месяц назад

i bought 502 as upgrade from 402, and the layout is far nicer than 402. the G7 and G9 buttons are comfortable to hold for long as part of "repeat click" macro (so you don't wear mouse 1 faster) and the free scrolling button really helps when the game contains long ass inventory or menu.

well it certainly needs some fixing. The skates/feet are really substandart at that price range and you get far better feel from aftermarket ones, even cheap ones.

At home, they’re great for quickly swapping between tools in Photoshop, Lightroom, etc.

I do think gaming mice are just better for any productivity and graphics relayed work, even without extra buttons, though those help as well. You can feel the faster response and less angle snapping, better hand eye coordination. Though you don't care that much about maximum tracking speed which is another feature. Also my left hand has a few damaged fingers so having extra buttons on my right hand helps taking the load off it. But I do wish they made much, much smaller variants, they're kind of gargantuan for me.

Wound up giving me a new keyboard that was more expensive, and told me to just keep the old one. With Corsair and EVGA, I once had to RMA some ram and a gpu, respectively. Both of them sent me replacements with a pre-paid label to send my old stuff back. I buy those brands as much as possible for that reason. Even if it costs more sometimes.

it doesn't have LoD distance setting because of Hero sensor it uses + it's low LoD out of factory so it have trouble tracking on some mousepads, Logitech made it like that on purpose so they would sell more mousepads, just a shitty move from logitech, other than that everything else is good enough, when clicks fail you can just get someone to fix it for you for $10 and ifyou put better switches it won't happen again, so it's a 1 time fix

I had a logitech gaming mouse, before your stated first date of 2005. So I looked up a list of their products on wikipedia, the same you guys used I think, it wasn't on there. The name returned to me, the MX510 - a gaming mouse that appears to have been released in 2004 and my first gaming mouse. To this day none of the other mice I've used, and I used plenty, have significantly improved on that one. I'd be happy using it today if it didn't die on me after 10 years (and a roommate who smashed it on the desk when he died in a game...)

The trouble with going with other brands is the lack of hyperscroll. When you work with long documents or code, or even webpages, suddenly switching back to a non-hyperscroll mouse wheel feels like going down a road covered in speed bumps to get to the right place. Hyperscroll is so effortless and precise at getting you vertically right where you need to be that it's a non-negotiable feature once you start using it. Not sure if Logitech patented it or something, but it's what's kept me from buying any other brand for over half a decade.

I had a 502 Proteus Core a pretty while ago. The most remarkable thing to me compared to my currect 502 (The scrolling wheel died after 5 Years) is how incredibly much worse the switches on the mouse buttons have gotten. Even apart from the current reliability issues, my older 502 still feels miles, and i cannot stretch this enough, miles better than the curent one. I love everything else thats new on this mouse but if i could still use my old one, i would, for the buttons alone.

@ICCraider 2 года назад

Used the G502 Proteus core for 5 years. And I'm a heavy ass user. It's the most durable mouse I've ever owned. But the g502 hero was a huge disappointment. Went through 3 of them in 6 months. It has a -bug- feature that stops your sprays mid spray in FPS games. To me the Hero linup dropped in quality.

@@An4lAvenger I suggest you to buy better switches and replace the cheapo chinese ones. Would pay 3x the cost of mouses easily to have better switches form the start.

@admiralcasperr 10 месяцев назад

I owned a proper 502 Proteus Core. It was the heaviest mouse I could find with a good build quality at that time. The high weight is exactly the reason why I chose this. The extra weight coupled with good sliders on a slick mat allows for more precise small movements. It feels like the micrometric screw of mice. Low drag operations, yet enough mass to not be flailing around.

@EposVox 2 года назад

I was a die-hard G502 user since 2014 for a LONG time. We own like 4. I've personally switched to the Glorious Model O/Wireless. The G502 is great, but I've found while I preferred heavy weight before, lightweight is nicer for me. While it seems like "higher quality" materials up front, the plastic shines like crazy over time and the rubber on the thumb side just outright... melts under daily use. I run into similar issues with the MX Master line, but on a far lower level. G502 is a great mouse, but I don't really recommend it anymore.

@coreyroberts3342 2 года назад

Recently switch over to Glorious's keyboard and I'm still shocked at just how good they are for the criminally low price. The Model 0/Wireless mouse looks phenomenal, does it have the same sort of declicked scroll wheel as the Logictech?

@ytdlder 2 года назад

That's why I bought the G402 for work; the thumb area still has a rubbery feel to it, but is WAY different. I'd love a G502 with NO rubber, as the textured rubber just "melts & gets grimy"

@MrInfiniteforever8 2 года назад

Daily driving my G502 for almost 7 years (since mid 2015). After such a long time of use and some abuse, the rubber pad under the thumb rest is basically worn down to the inner shell. Some points of the braided cable bent up and lost its normal shape since it was two years old (this might be considered an issue for this year model). The scroll wheel is also oxidized a bit from my finger sweat. I accidentally dropped it from the table quite sometimes. The mouse still works really well.

I bought the G502 hero because it was on sale out the door for less than 30$ (MicroCenter holiday sales). it has been an adventure. My older mouse that ive used for the past 20+ years was the Logitech Trackman FX. A trackball mouse with 5 buttons (3 on thumb 2 on body)... If they kept that old trackball body and added in a Scroll wheel and a higher DPI i would still be using that style.

As an owner of a g502 myself I feel that the contributing factors to this is how comfortable it fits in the hand, and the extra bottoms are really comfortably placed giving me easy access to extra keys for gaming or shortcuts when doing work and the fact that they give you weights to allow you to customise how the mouse feels

I’ve ran many years on my G502.

Yeah, I don't really like Logitech G Hub (or whatever it's called) too.

I was in the market for a mouse at £25-£30 or so, tight budget... but when I looked at the G502 Hero, it was a no brainer to go that little bit further in budget and get it. No regrets. MY only gripe is it's a bit difficult to keep clean. I like the weight (I added all the weights), I love the scroll wheel (once I found how to lock and unlock it!) and it's comfortable even in my big hands. The wireless version would have been nicer, but out of my budget at the time. I'll keep it till it dies. That might be years...

@rawhide_kobayashi 2 года назад

It's ridiculous that they don't add an anti-doubleclick option in the software. Just have a benchmark for how fast you can click. If significantly faster clicks come in, discard and assume bug click. This exists as a separate piece of software you can apply system wide (windows only, "clickfix". It's just autohotkey!), but there's no practical reason they can't do it on the mouse itself. It's not like debouncing isn't already a thing! They just need to stretch its limits!
