![]() Or, if you’ve no need of the clutch (and don’t want to reprogramme it to do something different, as you can do with all 11 inputs), you can simply replace the cap with a plain cover to effectively disable it.įlexibility and customisation have always been strengths of button-stuffed gaming mice like previous G502s and the Razer Basilisk series, so it’s good to see Logitech taking that further. Turn it around so that it faces away, and the button is still there if you need it, but there’s less chance of brushing it by accident. Rather than keeping it as a fixed button, the G502 X has a detachable L-shaped cap: slot it in with the extended section facing towards you, and it becomes much easier to reach with your thumb. Good stuff.Ī more overtly practical upgrade is the reworked DPI clutch, which (by default) lowers the sensitivity for more precise movements while held. It looks cleaner, and leaves fewer nooks for dust and grime to build up in. Gone are the go-faster silver highlights, and the middle section – where the scroll wheel, DPI switch and freewheel/ratcheted scroll switch all live – now sits flush with the left-and right-click buttons. The long, sloping shape still works well for palm and finger grips alike, and you still get integrated side grips and a generous thumb rest, but it’s all a little more refined. Having swooshed the G502 X around as my main mouse for a few days, I will say almost every design change on it is a positive one. Since prices max out at £150 / $160 for the G502 X Plus, the two Lightspeed-equipped mice could be less expensive alternatives to Razer’s new DeathAdder V3 Pro and Basilisk V3 Pro – but as the cheapest and most direct successor the G502 Hero, it’s the G502 X that’s likely to see the most desk action. There’s a trio of redesigned rodents in this family: the standard G502 X I’ve got on review here, the wireless G502 X Lightspeed, and the G502 X Plus, which is essentially the G502 X Lightspeed with added RGB lighting. Making more drastic improvements to it wouldn’t therefore seem like a pressing priority, but Logitech have had a crack regardless with the new G502 X series. Not undeservedly either, as it’s sat atop our best gaming mouse rankings for years. Between its Proteus Spectrum and refreshed Hero models, the G502 has sold boatloads, and was voted as RPS readers’ favourite gaming mouse in both 20. Statistically, there’s a good chance you clicked onto this page with a Logitech G502 mouse.
