What customers say about "Key Specs"
Logitech G502 HERO High Performance Gaming Mouse
- The Logitech Hero sensor has been tested numerous times and found to be most powerful.
- Scroll wheel is one of my personal favorite features of the mouse.
- Really awesome sensor that is super accurate and sensitive to slightest movements and tracks on any surface.
- The buttons themselves feel very satisfying to press thanks to the spring loaded mechanism.
- Scroll wheel broke within the first week and now it freewheels like fidget spinner.
Logitech G502 Proteus Spectrum Gaming Mouse
- I like this mouse quite a bit, the buttons are in a perfect spot for my grip and the DPI levels are easy to change.
- I like the FPS throttle button that raises your DPI insanely high for last minute head shot targeting.
- A nice flow of buttons including one exclusively for swapping profiles (DPI). Hot swappable DPI is a game changer for first person shooters with a sniping mode.
- I really like this mouse. Being able to adjust your dpi on it with three different settings to quickly change your dpi is very useful. The overall feel of the mouse is comfortable.
- My only complaint is the scroll will is a little heavy.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"
Logitech G502 HERO High Performance Gaming Mouse
- Comfortable shape and weight for most right handed people.
- The G502 is just a great mouse, unless you like light mice.
- It is already on the heavy side and can be made heavier with weights that Logitech includes which is great for me.
- This thing is one of the heaviest mice I've used for an extended period of time.
- Most gaming mice target a weight of 100g or lighter, but this one is too overweight.
Logitech G502 Proteus Spectrum Gaming Mouse
- Great mouse, might be the best mouse. The ability to adjust the weight of the mouse makes it very nice to use.
- I love this mouse. The weight is nice.
- Includes weights for the mouse to set the drag to the level you like.
- The mouse looks great and with the ability to add the weights I added (all 4 weights) I was able to get a mouse that handled well, felt sturdy.
- Only downside is the right edge of the mouse needs a little more build out for big hands. It can cause a little cramping over long play sessions with hands my size.

What customers say about "Connection"
Logitech G502 HERO High Performance Gaming Mouse
- This refreshed model has a really thick and flexible cord that was apparently a major weakness in the original 502.
- Improved braided cable over previous G502 model.
- Really miss the cordless days, but this mouse catches every signal & the slightest movements.
- I have some complain about the braided cable snagging.
- The cord is much better, but this mouse still has one. No wireless mode.
Logitech G502 Proteus Spectrum Gaming Mouse
- The cord is braided so that is a plus but it is really long
- It has a nice sturdy cord and feels rugged.
- The braided cord is nice for extra durability
- The cord frayed and kinked Mouse works well and Gand feel is good
- Only complaint is the shroud around the USB cord.. Once bent it tends to hold that shape or bend until manually straightened out.

What customers say about "Features"
Logitech G502 HERO High Performance Gaming Mouse
- The ability to adjust DPI on the fly is nice, as is the sniper button on the side right in front of where your thumb would rest.
- It has a number of different buttons that can be completely adjusted in the Logitech Gaming Software.
- The RGB lighting is not nearly as intrusive as on some mice and can be completely disabled if you wish.
- LIGHTSYNC added to this model is cool for custom rigs & lighting.
- Fully customizable RGB LED, you can set color, cycle speed & mode indicators.
Logitech G502 Proteus Spectrum Gaming Mouse
- Software makes it very easy to customize every setting on the mouse
- It's surfaces have real rubber where it counts, and the plastic components are easy to wipe off. Good riddance to plastic coated over with rubberized paint!
- Just as described. Love the different options available with 11 programmable buttons.
- Looks great, fast response, and programmable buttons, everything I need. Response, weight, colors, etc are all programmable.
- The only thing that would have been great with this mouse is if the scroll wheel had rubber tracks like the G900.
- Needed the extra buttons for War Thunder gaming, but buttons can't be programmed without downloading software from Logitech's site, which wasn't available more than half the time.
