Logitech G502 Wireless Review

Updated: Jul 27, 2021





It doesn't get much better than this


Logitech G502 Wireless
The G502 has finally arrived

I was worried after experiencing the G Pro Wireless' double clicking, but so far after using the G502 for a few weeks I've not experienced the double clicking at all. I have run into another issue where the G502 misreads the battery and always displayed "low battery." This happened the entire first week so I let the battery fully die (so the battery's internal clock would "reset") and haven't had that issue since.



Manufacturer's packing is great. It comes with a premium braided USB cable, wireless receiver, and an hard shell case that holds the weights. I love the design of this mouse over the G Pro Wireless especially since I have big hands as well as use "claw" style so having a slightly bigger mouse that my hands can wrap around feels better. Since it is heavier it does move noticeably slower across surfaces than lighter mouses.



The 16K DPI Hero sensor is just superb and the extra battery life is tremendous. It can even be used on glass surfaces with no tracking issues. It even has a button for a scroll wheel mode (continuous scroll or standard click step up.) There is also textured grips on the side. My only gripes are that for the price it could use a bit more RGB and the 2 middle buttons are flimsy. The small G logo only lighting up is kind of disappointing. The G Hub software allows you to map any command to any button. There's a database of hundreds of commands to choose from including basic windows commands like copy/paste.

Overall, I would definitely recommend this mouse. Performance and ergonomic wise it doesn't get much better than this. The 5 minute charge giving it 2.5 hours is not only amazing, but a lifesaver for those that frequently forget to charge their mouse! If you're thinking about cutting the cord and getting rid of your wired mouse this would be the perfect replacement. Hopefully a revised G903 is coming down the pipeline as well.
