Ranked #5 in Best Gaming Mice

Logitech G502 X Plus

4.2

$160

The Logitech G502 X Plus is the do-everything mouse of this lineup — a wireless reinvention of the legendary G502 with 13 programmable buttons, the dual-mode scroll wheel, the Hero 25K sensor and LIGHTSPEED wireless. Trusted Reviews called it 'a fantastic wireless gaming mouse' with 'one of the most comfortable shapes available,' and Tom's Guide rated it 'an excellent peripheral, and a strong contender for the best gaming mouse list.' Its ~106g weight rules it out of the featherweight esports race, but for MMO, MOBA and general use it is unmatched here.

Strengths

— Loaded with buttons — 13 programmable controls plus the signature dual-mode hyper-fast scroll wheel
— Comfortable, familiar G502 shape that reviewers call one of the most comfortable available
— Hero 25K sensor (25,600 DPI) with low-latency LIGHTSPEED 2.4GHz wireless

Watch-outs

— Heavy at ~106g — far from the featherweights in this category
— Premium $160 price for a feature-rich rather than competition-light design
— Weight and bulk dent its appeal as a pure competitive FPS mouse

Razer Synapse software is required for full configuration.

— Focus Pro 35K sensor
— 59g ultra-lightweight
— Gen-3 optical switches

Watch-outs

How they stack up

Logitech G502 X Plus

The G502 X Plus is the heavyweight and the feature king of this lineup. At ~106g it is roughly double the 54g Razer Viper V3 Pro and far heavier than the 60g Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 and ~68g Glorious Model O 2 Wireless — a deliberate trade that buys 13 buttons and the dual-mode scroll wheel none of the others offer. Where the Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro and Viper V3 Pro chase minimalist FPS performance, the G502 X Plus targets MMO, MOBA and general productivity use.
