![]() ![]() Using a button right below the wheel, you can engage a clutch for the usual notched scroll but, honestly, the mouse wheel turned into a kind of adult fidget spinner for me, so I let it free-wheel most of the time. The middle mouse wheel also deserves a mention thanks to the built-in flywheel that allows it to spin on a bearing and scroll at warp speed. Ergonomically, it’s probably my favorite mouse I’ve ever reviewed. The size fits comfortably in my hand and the thumb flange is perfect positioned, the rubberized grips on the sides keep it from slipping from my hand (and look cool with that triangular pattern), and the weight is balanced so it doesn’t lose accuracy when I reposition it on the pad. “Put simply, for a hybrid claw/palm gripper like myself, the G502 LIGHTSPEED just feels great. With the exception of the middle button under the scroll wheel, they’re all easy to access while still out of the way enough to not be pressed by accident. For example, the extra left mouse buttons are perfectly angled to sit exactly flush with the left click but the gloss finish makes it easy to feel which button you’re on without needing to look down. The button placement really exemplifies the attention to detail Logitech has paid here. Below those lights are the Forward and Back thumb buttons as well as a Sniper button, which will lower the DPI as long as it’s held, which was great for lining up long distance shots in PUBG. I first mistook it for a DPI selector (which it was on the G502 HERO) but pressing it now displays the battery level with the three indicator lights along the left side. The mouse wheel itself tilts left and right for two more inputs and below that is another programmable button underneath the mouse wheel clutch. Apart from your standard left, right, and middle mouse click, two more are positioned to the left of your index finger. The mouse features a total of 11 programmable buttons. It’s lightweight enough to glide effortlessly across the hard and soft surfaces I tested with, but heavy enough to offer excellent control. While lightweight mice like the 80g G Pro Wireless have some appeal, I personally found the G502 LIGHTSPEED to be about perfect for my taste. You can even customize it to be up to 14g heavier by fitting optional weights into a hidden compartment surrounding the sensor (10g if you use POWERPLAY). That said, that modest extra weight is clearly by design and offers a nice alternative to the current trend up sub-100g gaming mice. ![]() The Logitech G903 LIGHTSPEED, for example, is close but still 4g lighter. ![]() At 114g, it does manage to come in 7g lighter than the G502 HERO released last year, but it’s still one of the heaviest in Logitech’s G line. Danielle Abraham + 1 moreFingertip gamers might find it a bit too heavy, though. ![]()
