I can't say there's a lot to complain about with this one. It's long and flexible enough that it doesn't get in the way, and although it's not braided like some of the previous model's cables, it doesn't snag or curl up. The wired version here is the evident choice for the sensible and frugal among us, and the wire actually doesn't create a detriment to the usability. It's certainly one way to separate the company's more utilitarian users from the rest, but $20 for some RGB LEDs does seem a little steep. The latter is the only one with RGB, which pushes the weight up 106g, over the wired version.
The switches also require a tiny bit more force to activate but it does mean you're less likely to accidentally snipe your own teammates.Īs far as pricing goes, it's being shipped at roughly the same price as the earlier models: $80 for the wired version, $140 for the wireless version, and $160 for the G502X Plus. There's a slightly more resounding click to the newer switches, which is probably owing to a lack of internal components in order to improve the weight. It's not something that's easy to test, speed wise at least, though I've been sitting here clicking the G502 X next to its predecessor for a minute, looking a bit strange in the process, and I can't feel much difference. They're opto-mechanical, so they combine optical speed with a mechanical actuation. The thumb button in all its forms is a great addition that gives the G502 X that bit of extra customisability.Īnother change that's not so evident to begin with is the lightforce hybrid switches. Pair that with the fantastic thumb rest, longer buttons and you have yourself a superbly ergonomic mouse that boasts improvements we didn't know we needed from the Logitech G502 line. It's slightly skewed, similarly to those vertical mice that are all the rage at the moment in offices, which gives it superior ergonomics to the simple flat, front facing hand placement of the original design, without it taking an age to adjust. While my initial qualm was that the lower profile shell meant my wrist was leaning on the desk a lot, my hand has now shifted around to the intended position. The major difference comes in the form of the angle of your hand. It's an interesting stylistic choice, one that seems to mimic Logitech's overall shift toward a more inclusive range or peripherals-such as with the Logitech Color and Aurora collections, but it is stark and very likely to get mucky quickly if you've an affinity for munching snacks at your desk. While there are both black and white versions of the G502 X, both have white PTFE feet. One of the more obvious changes comes in the G502 X's colour options.
