The sheer amount of customization possibilities afforded by the Logitech software is almost overwhelming. Configurations can be stored either on the mouse itself, or per-game on your computer. Logitech's software for the G502 has tons of options for tweaks and customization. I dropped in two and found the weight to my liking, but there's enough room for as many as five. The vaguely boomerang-shaped weights can be placed inside to help balance the mouse to your liking. Unlocking it does make it less accurate when scrolling, so you might scroll through multiple weapons when you only meant to scroll to one.įlipping the G502 over reveals an access panel to add 3.6 gram weights. It's really fun to see how quickly you can scroll through your weapons in CS:GO, and for how long, while you wait for the warm-up period to end. Even when the button is depressed to set the wheel to operate normally, a finger flick sets it spinning like the Showcase Showdown on The Price Is Right. The wheel can be spun as fast or slow as you like, freely, without any stops. I never set it to do anything because it's located directly behind the button to activate the "hyper-fast scrolling," another cool feature on the G502.īasically the mouse wheel can be set to scroll freely by pressing a mechanical button. Between the left and right mouse buttons there's another programmable button if you decide you need it. These buttons are out of the way so they never interrupt use, and there's a light-up indicator on the mouse to show you which setting you're operating at. The G502 allows you to adjust sensitivity on the fly, and the levels can be further tweaked with Logitech's software (more on that later). The back-most thumb button is a little too awkward to reach quickly and comfortably and is best either programmed to perform a function not needed in the heat of battle, or ignored entirely.Īdjacent the left-click are the up- and down-DPI buttons. There are two more buttons just above the thumb rest, with the forward one being similarly easy to reach. The DPI shift button just ahead of the thumb is easy to reach, but doesn't get in the way when playing. The G502 has 11 programmable buttons, with each button nicely located. It runs a little on the smaller side, making me wish there was a little more arc to the section of the mouse that meets my palm. The rest of the mouse is smooth plastic without anything particularly noteworthy. The same textured rubber covers the thumb-side of the mouse and gave me similar discomfort as I had on my pinky finger after extended use. The way it's curved made my grip feel tighter on the mouse, but without having to exert any extra effort. On the opposite side, the mouse is contoured for thumbs, which is actually quite nice. I'd trade the chance of losing my grip over the soreness. The rubber there is textured to keep the mouse from slipping, but it ended up feeling uncomfortable.
It fits into my hand well enough, but the right side, where my pinky tends to rest, ends up feeling a little sore after any extended gaming session. ErgonomicsĪs I mentioned before, the G502 isn't the most comfortable mouse out there right now. By and large, the G502 manages to stand out in some great ways, especially when it comes to personalization. Basically any gaming mouse is going to be more precise than a bone-stock mouse, so it's extras that make a good gaming mouse stand out. Where the Logitech G502 stands out is its extra features. Precision is just one of those things you don't really know you want in your life until you're presented with it. In fact, any gaming mouse worth its salt will win you over with everyday use.
