The Logitech G502 HERO is a wired gaming mouse that feels very well-built. Its right-handed shape offers ergonomic support with a thumb rest, and it has a ton of programmable buttons, including a sniper button. It also has remarkably low click latency and a wide CPI range. Though it's rather heavy compared to a dedicated FPS mouse, it comes with five removable weights to allow you to redistribute the weight to suit your preference. Its scroll wheel unlocks for free scrolling, and it has L/R tilts for horizontal scrolling, which are rare features on a gaming mouse. Unfortunately, it's a rather large mouse, and people with small hands will likely have a hard time getting a comfortable grip or reaching all the buttons.

Our Verdict

7.6 Work

The Logitech G502 is a good mouse for office use. It has a right-handed, ergonomic design with a thumb rest, meaning it feels comfortable to use for long workdays. You can switch to a free-scrolling mode using a button behind the scroll wheel to make navigating long documents easy, and the scroll wheel also has L/R tilts for horizontal navigation. Thanks to its companion software, it has great customization features, and you can reprogram nearly all of its buttons. Unfortunately, it's wired-only, and its cable is quite stiff, which may be a problem if you're working in a tight or cluttered space. It's also too large for users with small hands as they can't reach all the buttons.

Pros
  • Feels very well-built.
  • Many programmable inputs.
  • Fully compatible with Windows and macOS.
  • Scroll wheel unlocks for free scrolling and has L/R tilts.
Cons
  • Large design may be uncomfortable for people with small hands.
  • Stiff cable.
  • Too bulky to fit into laptop bags.
  • Quite heavy.

Differences Between Sizes And Variants

We tested the Logitech G502 in black. There's a special edition (SE) variant that's black and white and a League of Legends collaboration variant with K/DA coloring. There's also a wireless version of this mouse, the Logitech G502 LIGHTSPEED.

Compared To Other Mice

The Logitech G502 HERO is a premium-feeling, wired gaming mouse that's the updated version of the Logitech G502 Proteus Spectrum. It has a lot of programmable buttons and a sniper button on the left side. Despite being designed for gaming use, it has office-oriented features like a scroll wheel that unlocks for free scrolling and has L/R tilts for horizontal scrolling. However, this mouse is designed for people with larger hands, and its cable is a bit stiff, creating drag when gaming.

Logitech G502 X

The Logitech G502 X is the updated version of the Logitech G502 HERO. The G502 X features upgraded switches in the L/R buttons, a significant weight reduction, and better feet. While the overall shape of both mice is very similar, the G502 X has a less aggressive gamer aesthetic, and the side button cluster has been moved to be easier to reach. On the other hand, the G502 HERO has RGB lighting.

Logitech G305 LIGHTSPEED

The Logitech G502 HERO is a better gaming mouse than the Logitech G305 LIGHTSPEED. It feels better built, has more programmable buttons, and you can set the CPI more precisely. Its scroll wheel also has L/R tilt buttons and a free-scrolling mode. On the other hand, the G305 can be used with any grip type by people with smaller hands and is more portable thanks to its smaller, wireless design.

Razer Basilisk V3

The Razer Basilisk V3 and the Logitech G502 HERO are full-featured gaming mice with comparable performance. The Razer is lighter and has a more flexible cable. It also has better quality mouse feet and lower click latency. On the other hand, the Logitech feels sturdier and has one additional button overall. Its software is also compatible with Windows and macOS, while the Razer software is only compatible with Windows. Both mice have scroll wheels with L/R tilt buttons and free-scrolling modes, but the Razer's wheel can automatically switch between modes depending on how quickly you scroll.

Logitech G903 LIGHTSPEED

The Logitech G903 LIGHTSPEED is a better gaming mouse than the Logitech G502 HERO; it's a wireless mouse with lower click latency. The G903 feels just as well made but has an ambidextrous design and can be used in any grip by any hand size, except for fingertip grip, which may be a little too large for smaller hands.

Razer Basilisk

The Logitech G502 HERO and the Razer Basilisk are both great wired gaming mice. While they're both right-handed mice, the Razer is more suitable for those with small hands, as it may be tougher to reach all the buttons on the Logitech. On the other hand, the Logitech has a better cable and more programmable buttons. Logitech's software is also fully compatible with both Windows and macOS.

Logitech G602

The Logitech G502 HERO is a better gaming mouse than the Logitech G602. It feels better built, has weight optimization, higher customizable CPI, and a better mouse wheel. On the other hand, the G602 is more suited to people with smaller hands due to its less bulky design, and you can use it wirelessly.

Logitech G604 LIGHTSPEED

The wireless Logitech G604 LIGHTSPEED is a better mouse than the wired Logitech G502 HERO, but the G502 is better for gaming. The G604 has more side buttons and is very comfortable to use, while on the other hand, the G502 is slightly better built and features RGB lighting.

You can adjust the Logitech G502's weight distribution by adding or removing the five 3.6g weights. You can also choose to remove the plastic plate covering the compartment for adding weights to save additional, but doing so negatively impacts the gliding experience, meaning both the Default Weight and Lowest Weight test include this bottom plate attached to the mouse. If you're interested in a lighter mouse, the newer version of this mouse, the Logitech G502 X, is significantly lighter.

Switch Model
Omron D2FC-F-K

The Logitech G502 HERO's left- and right-click buttons use Omron D2FC-F-K mechanical switches. These switches feel lightweight and responsive and have a crisp, satisfying tactility.

It's widely reported by owners online that these switches can develop double-clicking issues over time. It's important to note that all mechanical switches will develop double-clicking issues with normal wear and tear as their contacts corrode. However, this switch model is more susceptible to developing these issues sooner. Most people likely won't experience double-clicking issues with this mouse until after considerable time and use. However, it's safest to ensure you buy this mouse directly from Logitech or a licensed seller so that the product warranty is valid if the switches fail prematurely.

If you're concerned about double-clicks, you may want to check out the newer version of this mouse, the Logitech G502 X, which uses optical switches that do not develop double-clicking issues over time.
