Logitech G502 HERO High Performance Wired Gaming Mouse, HERO 25K Sensor, 25,600 DPI, RGB, Adjustable Weights, 11 Programmable Buttons, On-Board Memory, PC / Mac

This gaming mouse really delivers. It’s responsive, smooth, and feels great in the hand, perfect for both gaming and working! The buttons are snappy and well-placed, and tracking is precise with no noticeable lag. Setup was easy and it works flawlessly right out of the box. Overall, a solid choice that offers excellent performance and comfort without breaking the bank!

this mouse has a main DPI setting that allows 3 DPI presets but also has two buttons to increase DPI or decrease DPI to your own preset on the side allowing 5 extra DPI presets within the main DPI setting. thats 15 DPI settings total for customization. this mouse also has a infinite scroll wheel button that changes the regular scroll your used to into a balanced smooth scroll that speeds up scrolling for actions in games, scrolling pages, or even more. the scrolling is very durable and has lasted a long time and has no issues with me. additional to those buttons there are your two main buttons (left click and right click) aswell as 3 customizable buttons for gaming and more on the side for faster actions instead of having to take your hand off the mouse to use your keyboard aswell as faster signal time for your computer to render. im not done there though. theres additional features such as a weight case that you will get that has weights you can put in the bottom of the mouse in your own customizable way that allows you to have a heavier mouse allowing better sliding to your comfortability. this mouse has very fast reaction time (signal speed) and is wired with a very long wire that is braided for those of you who have cats or dogs. it has lasted me with my 3 cats and austrailian shepphard dog. it is comfortable for my wrist without a pad and hand. i am very satisfied with this mouse and it has never had a sensor error and is very good quality. i would rate this 10/10 compared to other mouse options for any purpose and on top of that its affordable. no im not paid to say this, i genuinely wanted to review things and this is something thats worth a review because i love it.

There is a ton to like about this mouse from how it fits into your hand, the grip, and the competitive edge for gaming you will begin to notice immediately!1) Daily useNot everything is about gaming, as this only takes up maybe 2-3 hours max of my time a day. The rest goes to programming, studying, etc. So, it is important for me that I have a mouse that I can use which is comfortable, useful, and fits my basic needs. Now, let's compare this to a normal run-of-the-mill mouse since this is probably the biggest competition. Why get this mouse Vs some other cheaper option? Well, for daily use I can list the following pros:- Fits incredibly well around your hand- Many different buttons that can be programmed for different use> Shortcut keys, Forward/back from a page, etc.- Great grip- Change the DPI with different Profiles using Logitech Software2) GamingWhen I am done working for the day, I simply press a button on the mouse and can quickly adjust from study mode to gaming mode. I even have the ability to change the LED lighting to provide verification that the Profile changed successfully. Following pros:- You can change the DPI for each account, and each profile can have an option for many DPI's. The DPI is especially useful for getting the accuracy you need in a mouse. When studying, I can move the mouse very little and move from monitor to monitor (about 1700 DPI), for gaming, I can put the setting at a lower amount (About 800 DPI) and now my accuracy is much better!- The buttons are programmable. This means that for every game you play you can set up the mouse buttons to however you want! Some of these buttons you want to remain the default, like the G9 which changes the profiles, it is up to you though on what you prefer! I personally like having important buttons be G8 and G9, then secondary buttons are the default forward/back. Then I use the target button your thumb rests on as a special (like a grenade wheel or something)- The back-end functionality, such as response time will give you a competitive edge compared to a normal mouse. Now, is this going to be in the 1-3 second range, probably not? With gaming, how quickly your respond to something will play a huge effect on your success as a gamer! Simply being a bit faster means a huge difference between success and failure. (Think if you and the enemy both are competing against each other, who will win? The difference on who wins isn't based 100% on speed, but rather the better strategy, the more powerful weapon, and whoever is in a more superior advantage. Many times, 1-3 seconds makes absolutely no difference, and you simply make a rookie mistake, or the opponent has such a clear opening that you can just punish them for it. Once you make fewer mistakes though, and you become a better gamer, speed really begins to make a huge difference! Simply put, if you and your opponent both have equally great strategies, aren't making rookie mistakes, and know what you are more or less doing, you have both successfully accomplished the basic fundamentals, good for you two! Once you get past fundamentals, the biggest challenges now are getting into placement, having consistency, and being able to get to a location as fast as possible while competing with many others who are doing that exact same thing. If you are doing everything right, and there is a latency issue, then this alone can be the root issue of failure. Again though, not many strategies require a 100% speed advantage. I can think of cases where I have say a 2-3 second gap where the opponent would have to run through a hallway, which in this case having latency wouldn't affect my strategy as much. Now, if I am pushing aggressively, and failure literally means an opponent attacking me before I attack them, or get into a position to dodge damage, then latency is extremely important! So, this is where the competitive edge of this mouse really begins to show.Overall, I am extremely happy with the quality of this mouse and will update in a few months after I have had some more time to break it in!*** Update ***The mouse is durable and has stood the test of time very well! The software setting up the mouse bindings has changed, so I am still getting used to that. Works very well in gaming, and enjoy the ability to transition from work 1,000 dpi and copy/paste, cut, etc., as bindings to gaming with 650 dpi jump, melee, etc.. Definitely good fit for someone with a big palm like myself.

My favorite mouse. I use it for FPS pretty much exclusively. Some doodads I appreciate:- I have small hands but I can still comfortably hold the whole thing in a claw or palm grip. My hand rests mostly on the right side of the mouse, so I would have to switch my hand position if I wanted to use the sniper button. This isn't really a problem for me because I think the sniper button (and switchable DPI in general) encourage bad habits.- I dig the little flared thumb shelf so my thumb isn't dragging on the mousepad and messing with my flow or whatever. I feel like I get a bit better control with the shelf, with my thumb resting on top instead of trying to grip the side. This gives you the most relaxed hand position possible, which (probably) helps you build good habits.- It's reliable and it just works. Before this, I had a Deathadder which started double-clicking less than a year after I got it. I switched to the G502 nearly a decade ago and I've never had issues with double-clicking issues or dead switches in all that time.- The unlocking scroll wheel is great for scrolling through 40 pages of Terms & Conditions in record time.I've just been super happy with this mouse. I think there are newer G502 models at this point but I really dig this one because the design is nearly unchanged after 10 years and I just really like the shape and how this specific one feels. Highly recommended.
