Logitech G502 X PLUS LIGHTSPEED Wireless RGB Gaming Mouse - Optical Mouse with LIGHTFORCE Hybrid Switches, LIGHTSYNC RGB, HERO 25K Gaming Sensor, Compatible with PC - macOS/Windows - White

Product Information

The sensor is robust and works on most materials I tried it on, including an expensive mousemat, a cheap one, a wooden desk, plastic sheeting, paper, and even glass. For something designed with portability in mind, this is important. The major difference comes in the form of the angle of your hand. While my initial qualm was that the lower profile shell meant my wrist was leaning on the desk a lot, my hand has now shifted around to the intended position. I get it now. It's slightly skewed, similarly to those vertical mice that are all the rage at the moment in offices, which gives it superior ergonomics to the simple flat, front facing hand placement of the original design, without it taking an age to adjust.

Of more interest is the battery life, which Logitech estimates at 140 hours in the Lightspeed, and 130 hours in the Plus. Our testing bore this out on the Lightspeed model, although the Plus model drained the battery quite a bit faster, at least with the RGB lighting turned on. Assuming you use the mouse for about eight hours a day, you could get 17 days of use with the lighting turned off, and perhaps 10 days with the lighting turned on. Logitech G502 X Lightspeed review: PerformanceAll G502 X modes use Lightforce switches, a hybrid optical and mechanical switch that promises to be both reliable, and tactile. These switches have already proven themselves, and they continue to shine in the G502 X range. They are the right combination of heavy and responsive, they feel meaningful to push, but they don’t require a lot of force. They also respond well without giving ghost double presses. Pair that with the fantastic thumb rest, longer buttons and you have yourself a superbly ergonomic mouse that boasts improvements we didn't know we needed from the Logitech G502 line.

Keep the mouse and receiver 2 m+ away from wireless routers or other 2 4GHz wireless devices to minimize environmental noise The scroll wheel was always the main complaint from users of the original G502, as it was heavy and loose. When you fired it with a stream of compressed air (something that became all the rage on Reddit and Youtube in 2018) it would sound like a plane about to take off. The Logitech G502 X series is an evolution of the cult favourite Logitech G502, their most popular mouse since the first iteration was released in 2014. The thumb button in all its forms is a great addition that gives the G502 X that bit of extra customisability. Thanks to its HERO 25K sensor, the one big thing it inherited from its predecessor, turning is smooth and accurate, regardless of whether you’re playing a slower-paced game like Sable or a fast-paced combat title like Kena: Bridge of Spirits.Secondly, the advertised battery life for the G502 X Plus of 120 hours is only achievable with the RGB switched off, and the RGB is the main feature differentiating the G502 X Plus from the G502 X Lightspeed. With the RGB running, the battery life is reduced dramatically to just 37 hours. The Logitech G502 X series features three models, the wired G502 X, the G502 X Lightspeed, and the G502 X Plus. The G502 X keeps mostly to the spirit of the original, with an almost identical shape that is moulded to fit the hand just right, including a rubber thumb rest to the side.
