![]() Both generations of G502 have a curvy shape that fills your hand and feels good to hold for long stretches. Measuring 3.13 x 5.25 x 1.63 inches and weighing 3.7 ounces, it’s a lighter and slightly wider mouse than the G502 Lightspeed, though they feel the same in hand. The G502 X design, Plus or otherwise, has been streamlined and optimized mostly for style’s sake, though there are some tangible changes. The high bar it set now sits a little higher. On the other, it’s an improved version of a mouse that was already among the best you could buy. On the one hand, you’ll be hard-pressed to say that the G502 X Plus, or any G502 X, features any changes that would make a world of difference compared to its predecessor. The Plus earns its title bump (and a slightly higher price tag) with a large RGB light bar that runs across its palm rest. It's an additional $120, but it's worth never having to plug the mouse in again since the mouse can be charged while in use.At the top of the heap, there’s a new “flagship” model – the G502 X Plus – an upgraded version of the G502 lightspeed that’s lighter and can get better battery life. ![]() Not only did a full charge last approximately three days of eight hours of office use and at least two hours of gaming per day, but the mouse is also compatible with Logitech's POWERPLAY charging mouse pad. I say "generally" because the G502 X Plus stands up very well against the G502 X when it comes to latency and stability.Įven the biggest pain point with wireless, the rechargeable battery, is far less of a concern with the G502 X Plus. For many, those may not seem worth the added cost, especially since wired mice are generally known for having a more stable connection and reduced latency. So, the biggest changes are lights and wireless capabilities. At $160, the lightspeed wireless gaming mouse is about twice the price of its wired counterpart and $20 more than the standard G502 X wireless, both of which lack RGB lighting. The most difficult aspect of the G502 X Plus to overcome is the price. For example, my Phasmophobia profile had a much different button assignment than my Aliens: Fireteam Elite profile. G HUB allows you to create unique profiles and can even find certain games so you can easily swap to a layout that makes sense. The G502 X Plus comes with onboard memory for 5 unique profiles, but I didn't find much value in the feature unless I was bringing the mouse to another computer. The biggest issue is there's no preset that instantly swaps between the default layout and G-Shift, so you'll either need to take up a button or manually flip the switch through G HUB. Press it, and you can have nine all-new commands at your disposal, whether it's a collection of macros, system actions, or keystrokes. In fact, this entire sentence was typed out just by setting a macro and initiating it with a button press.Įach button can have two functions thanks to G-Shift, which serves as the "Fn" (Function key) equivalent for your mouse. Want the right mouse button to run a complicated macro? Setting it up is easy, even for new users. However, Logitech packs quite a lot into the ergonomic design, making it difficult to switch back to an older, outdated model.Ĭustomization is the key to enjoying the G502 X Plus, and G HUB opens up the ability to fully change just about every feature on the mouse. Unfortunately, it's far from economic.Ĭoming from Logitech's G602, which is quite a bit heftier and has more buttons, I wasn't expecting the G502 X Plus' more simplistic design to be as functional. The ample features are unexpected, considering how lightweight and inexpensive the mouse feels. However, gamers will find value in several of its more useful features, including a smooth scroll toggle that unlocks the wheel for speedier scrolling and a DPI (Dots per inch) shift that switches to a user-set DPI when pressed. The G502 X Plus is brimming with features, though its considerably high price may sway some consumers to less impressive models.Īs a standard mouse used for common two-button functionality, it's difficult to justify spending the extra money on Logitech's G502 X Plus. Logitech's G502 X Plus Lightspeed is surprisingly lightweight, but its lack of heft isn't indicative of a lower-quality product. ![]()
