![]() There’s now a large U-shaped pad following the rear contour, which makes a subtle but significant difference. I’ve also found the G502 Lightspeed glides better, probably due to the way the feet have been redesigned around the Powercore module. If anything, you might be tempted to load it up a bit to match the old model. If you had no problem with the G502 before (and I didn’t), then the Logitech G502 Lightspeed should be no issue. The big worry though was that a wireless G502 would add to the wired model’s already prodigious weight. It’s still on the heavier end, for sure, weighing more than both the G703 (106 grams) and the G903 (108 grams) as well as Razer’s recent Mamba Wireless redesign (106 grams). Think about it: The G502 Lightspeed looks and feels like its predecessor, but includes both a battery and the necessary wireless hardware-and yet it weighs less than the G502s of old. Seven grams might not seem like a lot, but it’s a minor miracle. But the G502 Lightspeed somehow cuts the weight to 114 grams. The G502 Hero weighed in at a whopping 121 grams, and topped out at 139 grams-well above the 100 gram benchmark held as the industry ideal. That said, the Logitech G502 Lightspeed is actually the lightest G502 to-date, addressing a common complaint kicked around since the mouse’s first iteration. ![]() Suffice it to say, if you’re determined to weigh down the G502 Lightspeed, you can. You can slot in up to four 2.0 gram weights though-all of them, or two balanced out, or arrayed so the weight distributions thrown to one side or the other like the previous models. Like the older G502s, there’s a removable plastic panel you can peel off-though the one on the G502 Lightspeed is smaller and arrayed more towards the front of the mouse. Thus the Logitech G502 Lightspeed features a second system for weight customization. There’s an obvious caveat though: Powerplay users can’t take advantage, because these weights fill the same space as the Powercore module. Here, take a look at 2018’s G502 Hero and the G502 Lightspeed side-by-side: The wired and wireless Logitech G502 might as well be twins. It’s an amazing design feat, one so clever the average user won’t even notice. All the particulars of the G502 have been recreated, the features that have kept it on our list of the best gaming mice since its inception. Even the dual-mode scroll returns, allowing you to switch between smooth and notched scroll modes at the press of a button. It’s still one of the most comfortable mice I’ve ever used-highly subjective, sure, but I’m far from alone in that assessment.Īs for functionality, the eleven-button layout remains intact, including the tilt wheel and the pair along the side of the left mouse button. It has the same gentle curve, the same elongated oval footprint, the same compact thumb rest off the left side. This is the G502, the same one I used daily for three years straight between 20, and off-and-on after as well. It weighs 114 grams, and it gets about 48 hours runtime for battery life, which can translate to about two or three weeks of usage.Ĭoonrad said this wireless mouse was the missing link in the Logitech G brand’s line-up of mice.And in that regard the Logitech G502 Lightspeed is an unmitigated success. ![]() The mouse will be available on and at global retailers in May 2019 for $150. The new gaming mouse pairs wirelessly, with power and data moving over a single USB cable. ![]() Logitech G’s Powerplay wireless charging system enables continuous charging, even while gaming. This means that with every purchase, Logitech helps fund Plastic Bank programs that help remove ocean-bound plastic from the environment. In addition, the new Logitech G502 Lightspeed is PVC free and has Plastic Neutral Certification. It has textured rubber side grips and a right-handed design (sorry, lefties) that has been used by millions of gamers. The mouse has 11 programmable buttons that can be customized through Logitech GHUB Software to perform individual action or assign macros.Īdditionally, the mouse features a dual-mode hyper-fast scroll wheel and an adjustable weight system with six weights -four at 2 grams and two at 4 grams - so you can adjust the weight and balance of the mouse to match your play style. To keep the look of the G502, we had to redo everything.” “They had to change every single component, except for one of the feet in the bottom of the mouse. “This is a really difficult challenge,” Coonrad said.
