I have some prior logitech mouse over the year like g300 (so many of them like one every 6-12month), g700 and others. Didn't have prior experience with the g502 hero and was always a fan of the 4 top button so I later transition to roccat tyon which is a bit larger and heavier (130gish) mouse that is d/c now. So this would mainly be my baseline comparison. I been debating between all three version and didn't want to cough up money for powerplay as well for the RBG version so got the wireless non-RGB one. The old g502 lightspeed (non-x) wireless version was going for $80 but mechanical button (not optic) and was more in my price range. The wired version had cheap rubber wire that apparently rubbed against the mouse pad. I have been mostly in the "wired" club cause of latency and battery concern before. Going to transition to wireless club now. Pro: - 144 hours per ghub which is amazing which is 6 full days. If I use it 8hrs a day, that 18 days before I have to recharged. Usage is more close to 3hr on weekday and 12 on weekend so it should last a month for me. RGB version is like 30ish hours and that was my deciding factor w/o powerplay. - Apparently only takes ~2 hour to charge to full - Love the wireless, pretty much no lag at all with the dongle. Simply plug and play, and ghub software download via google. - Many keybinding. I have like 18 keybinding by utilizing the G-shift key (bind it to the DPI+shift button) for office work profile. This is similar to the roccat easy shift which was by the thumb rest. - USB-C charging. Did not even use the dongle extension hub. Will just use my android super charger next to my PC every -25K DPI but who really would use this? I try to set my window sensitivity to lowest with 25k and that not happening. Rolling at window sensitivity 6 with 5500 DPI and 4 other DPI level for shifting. -1000Hz Polling -106g weight or so per description. Felt nice and it is gliding on my old logitech mousepad with those new white padding. -Battery LED in center front of mouse. Can keybind to activate the battery level color. Con: - Coming from the roccat tyon, it was a bit smaller for me and had hand discomfort. Hoping to adjust soon. -Scroll wheel (non-release): a bit louder for personal preference. Like if I'm scrolling down a page, it would go through like 3-4 of the tactile clicks. End up changing mouse setting to increase # of line per scroll to like 20. -Scroll wheel (infinite scroll): I always loved this when I had the g700. This one, is nice for web page scrolling initially but as my finger tend to be on the scroll wheel, everytime that I stop, the page would scroll up a bit then back down again which is annoying. -Keybinded new tab / close tab with scroll left and right. Problem is that, the function is ctrl+T / ctrl+W. This ctrl button + scroll wheel = zoom in/out. As I often navigate through many tab at once, it would occasionally perform unwanted zooming. Neutral -Would like to have button on the top right side as well. -No RGB but I wasn't going pay like $15 extra for that plus your hand would cover like 90% of the light area. -Still not getting use to the mouse click. With the new optic switch, it supposedly will prevent "double-clicking" issue. Either I am clicking it too lightly and I do get the feeling of "I did double click, but it not opening" since the file is clearly highlighted. Cause it is a bit smaller to my previous mouse, I notice I'm doing more of a claw grip instead of palm grip so my finger are pressing around 3/5 way of the button so this may be the reason. - Content of box: Mouse, USB cable, dongle, dongle extender, DPI shift button cover and bunch of user guide. -I feel like I got cheated a bit as it seems like I may have gotten a new returned and opened boxes. There was no plastic wrap and the box was inside a heatsealed plastic bag and the bottom of the mouse was a bit dusty which came off. I was still impress with the mouse so going ignore the hassle of returning and will be keeping it. Overall: Definitely worth it to get the wireless non-RGB version for me. If you have powerplay then the RGB version may be for you if you want lighting.
