I use a 144hz screen, I have a G502 and an MX3s. Honestly yeah the G502 is more responsive, but the MX3s is way more comfortable. I just switch between them depending on what I need to do.
r/logitech • Update on my new MX Master 4. This is goodbye. ->I use wasd for movement. I press 1-5 with my fingers. 6-0 is on my mouse, I have a Logitech G502 Hero I bought solely for playing this game. I have action camera bound to q, special ability to e (it used to be - and I'm not reaching that far to press it), f is for interaction, right shift for dodge, x for mounting. I main a Reaper so I just have to reach for F1 for shroud. All the keys I need are around wasd or within reach of my left hand, and I do not touch the keyboard with my right hand. I'm middle aged and have been playing on computers with keyboards and mice since I was a kid, so muscle memory is strong. I struggled when I was a teenager to switch from cursor keys to wasd, but it's now normal.
r/Guildwars2 • How The Heck Do Y'all Press All These Buttons?! (New To MMORPGs On PC) ->No idea how so many people like that monstrosity. Tried it, my pinkie gets numb because of the positioning. I have to constantly adjust my grip, my hand is too big for it. On top of that, is heavier than a 203 or 103 which have such a simple and better design. I will be forever a hater of g502.
r/pcmasterrace • The 25 most recommended gaming mouse according to Reddit (in the past year as of Jun 2025) ->You will also feel a difference once you remove all the weights from your G502 Check these out: * [Razer Cobra](https://www.amazon.co.uk/Razer-Cobra-Lightweight-Underglow-Adjustments/dp/B0C5XNRVWM/ref=sr_1_6?sr=8-6) * [Logitech G305 Lightspeed Wireless](https://www.amazon.co.uk/Logitech-Wireless-Lightweight-Programmable-compatible/dp/B07CGPZ3ZQ/ref=sr_1_5?sr=8-5)
r/MouseReview • Best budget mouse, available on Amazon worldwide ->You can go for the Razer Cobra. I started using the G502 in 2016, and it stopped working in 2022. After that, I switched to the Razer Basilisk V3, but it stopped working last month. Now I'm back to using the G502, though I'm planning to switch to the PRO X Superlight 2 DEX Wireless.
r/MouseReview • Best budget mouse, available on Amazon worldwide ->I don't know atm how old mine 502 is, but I think around ten years ? Let's say, the rubber like part on the site is worn out down to the plastic body...so extensive use and no problems so far. Not even with the cable, as my mx518, g5 & g500 before had.
r/Guildwars2 • I need a good recommendation for a mouse ->Logitech G502 is solid around that price range, been using mine for like 3 years and it's still going strong
r/pcmasterrace • What is a good gaming mouse that is t really expensive but not really cheap? (Under $100) ->I've got G402, G502 and G502X and After all this time I still think the G402 is the best simply due to the fact it has no RUBBER on the left side so it NEVER feels sticky. Truth.
r/MouseReview • 4 Years Later Review of my Logitech G402 Hyperion Fury ->That thing weighs as two to three decent gaming mice. On top of that, it forces the user to use the most unhealthy and imprecise grip - the palm grip. A definite no.
r/PUBATTLEGROUNDS • What's the best mouse to play PUbg with? ->I retired my G502 HERO a few month ago after years of service. Got a new one without even remotely thinking about it. It's such a good mouse for its price!
r/G502MasterRace • I think its time this mouse gets retired, any recomnedations? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS

I'm on my fourth I think. At least third. The free wheel. The extra buttons not to many not to little. Yeah pretty perfect. On next sale I'll get 2 more. The wired one can be 20 bucks on sale. And that is ok. 60 or what retail fuck they want is way too much.
r/G502MasterRace • View on Reddit →Same here. It's simple and shaped just right. Just a lite touch of rgb
r/wow • View on Reddit →Interesting analogy, I guess just buy a g502 at 100g I guess
r/MouseReview • View on Reddit →Razer NAGA. I play a lot of mmos too. But it's been so good for arpgs. My hands feel so much better after swtiching to wasd in arpgs and using the mouse for skills. Had a G502, and I honestly hated it. I know everyone loves it. Way too heavy for me and the buttons are super mushy. I like the mechanical buttons on the naga. Had the wired NAGA for years with no problems, decided to get wireless a few months ago and it's been great.
r/ARPG • View on Reddit →G502 Hero is the choice here as others have mentioned
r/pcmasterrace • View on Reddit →Yeah the cable situation is weird. Probably all new produced have the cheap cable. Sad. The sturdy braided one is the best. Though a little heave
r/G502MasterRace • View on Reddit →Im pretty happy with the Logitech G502. It has a few extra buttons on the side with a bit more seperated locations. I find it easier to hit the right button compared to a Razer Naga or Corsair Scimitar and as healer im fine with that amount of extra buttons. In the end i recommend you check them out in a shop and not just buy them online because everyone will have different preferences and you have to find it comfortable
r/wow • View on Reddit →I have the 502 light speed myself and it's been great. Had the wired 502 before as well. Only thing I suggest is buy from Best Buy and get the 2 year geek squad warranty for $19.99. Mine devolved the double click issue just under 2 years of ownership and they replaced it no questions asked. Otherwise, best mouse I've ever had.
r/G502MasterRace • View on Reddit →it sorta does or its the new shapes of mouse. this g502 hero is garbo compared to my discontinued logitech weighted mouse.
r/cs2 • View on Reddit →Another one! I was a Corsair guy for a while, but fault after fault... Had multiple Corsair mice in one year. The 502 is the first non-Corsair mouse I tried and I've rocked the same one for years since - Flawless
r/G502MasterRace • View on Reddit →Why wireless? Unless you're using a laptop that you move around, I'd think wired would be better. I used to use a wireless mouse but got tired of worrying about the battery. I use the g502 wired now since I don't ever move it from my desk
r/wow • View on Reddit →this goes for 99% of video games you cant go wrong with a g502 (or if you prefer razer, one of deathadder viper or basilisk will suit you)
r/WorldOfWarships • View on Reddit →Logitech g502 hero, the best mouse I ever use.
r/MMORPG • View on Reddit →I also have big hands and use the Logitech G502 with no problems
r/pcmasterrace • View on Reddit →The Zowie S1-C is a nice wired mouse with some weight. The Logitech G502 Hero has extra metal weights which you can add or remove to your liking. Most mice at the moment tend to be on the smaller, lighter side though.
r/MouseReview • View on Reddit →Yep, g502 is the best mouse I've ever had. Bought 3 so i have reserves.
r/wow • View on Reddit →I have a G502 and my only issue is that for the two buttons on the top, it's almost impossible to hit just one at a time.
r/wow • View on Reddit →It is crazy to me the cult like following this mouse continues to have, and I maimed this mouse for like 3 years from 2017-2020. The extra buttons are cool, but man there are so many better mice out there, that are so much lighter. If you want a wired mouse try the op18k it's the best fps mouse in existence, probably. Lots of ergo mice out there, from death adder to zywoo to superlight to vaxee If you're stuck on this shape you might try the basilisk But really you'll just probably be happiest with another 502.
r/G502MasterRace • View on Reddit →Hey didn't read the message properly. I don't know when they switched to non braided cable. I think all new ones have the cheap cables. Doesn't bother me though I never unplug the mouse.
r/G502MasterRace • View on Reddit →Another one for the G502. I have the wired version. It's been with me for like 4-5 years and has held up exceptionally well. There are 6 different buttons you can remap with the Logitech software so it's a great pick. If you can find one for a reasonable price then then G604 (the mouse I'm currently using) is the best one. However, it's out of production and really hard to come by now :(
r/wow • View on Reddit →Logitech g pro wireless. I used to have the g502, also a great mouse. I have the glorious model O, and a few others as well, but I would not recommend any of them over the first two mentioned
r/thefinals • View on Reddit →Heads up, I have small hands and I run the Logitech G Hero. In my opinion, it's a medium sized mouse.
r/pcmasterrace • View on Reddit →is the best one i have come across. Used to be a corsair slut, but found their peripherals break without much time or use. (4 mice, 2 keyboards, 1 headset = all broke with light use / not a lot of time)
r/wow • View on Reddit →I retired my G502 HERO a few month ago after years of service. Got a new one without even remotely thinking about it. It's such a good mouse for its price!
r/G502MasterRace • View on Reddit →You'll be fine with a regular mouse. It's MMOs like ESO where side buttons are useful. I have a Logitech g502 hero and that works well for all my MMOs. Also it has an unlockable scroll wheel which is very nice
r/blackdesertonline • View on Reddit →Logitech isn't shit. It's just okay for a high price. In some products they pretty much are the best. \- MX Keys keyboard is one of the best scissor keyboards. \- MX Master 3 is the gold standard for a productivity mouse. Then on the pretty good front: \- G305 is a fine mouse \- G502 is a fine product line. there are clones shapewise, but none of them is necccesarily superior. And in the OEM bargain category, a logitech cheapo mouse/keyboard pretty much beat the alternatives HP and Dell give with their computers. So all in all, Logitech is not exactly shit, it's just meh.
r/MouseReview • View on Reddit →Oh, to be clear, I haven't needed replacements for any of them, though I did upgrade my daily work noise to a lightspeed one. The extras I bought were for other workstations and friends and family. Friends don't let friends use oem mice. I haven't had one die on me yet, though the rubber coating is getting a bit gross on the most heavily used ones (about 10 years old now). I have 2 more fresh in box that I bought when they were on sale for $35 at best but a few years back.
r/gaming • View on Reddit →Newer ones are largely garbage but a lot of Logitec mice from 10-15 years ago were built incredibly well. I still use my 15 year old g502. Though I've heard newer ones have weaker switches.
r/BuyItForLife • View on Reddit →Logitech G502 wired mouse, and a Wobkey Crush80 Pro keyboard is what I'll be rocking with for the foreseeable future.
r/pcmasterrace • View on Reddit →Logitech G502 is solid around that price range, been using mine for like 3 years and it's still going strong
r/pcmasterrace • View on Reddit →Honestly, after being on the deathadder for like 10 years, then to steel series, I have the Logitech g502 now and it's just perfect. Would never go back.
r/cs2 • View on Reddit →I bought a death adder and it automatically installed their trash software. Bought a g502 and gave the death adder to my cousin lol
r/pcmasterrace • View on Reddit →G502 showing up 5 individual times on the overall chart warms my heart
r/pcmasterrace • View on Reddit →I dont rest my whole hand on it Is what i realised just now,my palm rests on my desk while mu fingers are mostly in the sir,maybie weird but hey pereferences exist.
r/gaming • View on Reddit →the double click is a 50-50, my g502 and g402 lasted for 4-5 years and i didn't get double click issues in both of them
r/mkindia • View on Reddit →If any of my G502 or G604 mice breaks i'm going for that Redragon mouse. I like the look of the M811 and think it'd be a fine replacement.
r/wow • View on Reddit →And it is heavy. And I've bought like 6 over the years, I wouldn't have it any other way.
r/gaming • View on Reddit →You don't need an MMO mouse to play. If you weren't struggling with your old keybinds there is no need to change. I use a G502 and simply remap the thumb buttons to control and shift using the keyboard for the rest of it and it works wonders.
