It means the G502X quite possibly has the best all-rounder button setup you can get anywhere. Where the G502X truly shines is in its most useful buttons, which Logitech G have tweaked since the G502 Hero to make larger and more accessible. The Logitech G502X’s pro-grade sensor gives you very accurate and precise tracking, but yet that’s not so hard to find in gaming mice these days. But this never bothered me much and takes nothing away from the fact this mouse is a class act on just about all fronts. That one feature alone has to be worth at least a quarter of the Logitech G502X’s $70 price.Ī very minor point is that if you or your friends or family need absolute quiet, the scroll wheel does tend to be quite loud at times. The DPI up / down buttons were also worth their weight in gold, allowing me to switch quickly between my two favorite DPI settings without toggling through every single setting. It’s exactly the same weight as the 18-button SteelSeries Aerox 9 too, if you want a like-for-like comparison. Yet for a mouse with 18 buttons, it’s actually pretty decent and still feels quick off the mark.

My fingers were so well surrounded by buttons that at times it felt like I was at the helm of some kind of advanced fighter jet. I usually like to recommend gamers go for something lighter and quicker for the fastest FPS games in particular. Looking at weight, and the 502X clocks at 89 grams, which is a lot heavier than ultra-lightweight mice like the 59-gram HyperX Pulsefire Haste. In fact, there’s excellent separation along the top left, such that I never found my fingers straying. The DPI buttons, G7 and G8, are also longer and easier to find than previously, which I thought might cause some misclicking on my part, but not so. Still, there’s always the chance we’ll see add-ons down the line. Logitech G have ingeniously made it detachable too-which would’ve been the ideal opportunity to add in some swappable triggers of varying lengths, but sadly you just get the one. This button is kind of a big deal to me-there’s nothing remotely as well-placed in any rivals for letting off that one must-hit command or macro that’s vital to me performing well.
