Infinite scroll wheel is the savior of accepting terms and agreements in games.

[Michael-exlk]

Call me crazy but I really do like how heavy the original one was. A shame they couldn't allow for added weights.

[seedwolfmgo]

I've had my G700 for 16 years, looking to get a new one. Thank you for the video!

[eunwoo_wcs]

new version is also good but I like the design of the old g502. Just my own thought.

[DroneBeatsGNT]

I have the G502 Hero SE, and i want to buy a wireless one, too. I think I'll go for the G502 Lightspeed, though. I love the design, the sound, the buttons, and the DPI Indicator on the side with the 3 led strips.

[AlaxNlax]

WHERE IS THE EXTRA 2 PROGRAMMABLE BUTTON ? IT LOOKS THE SAME AMOUNT OF BUTTONS

[Tech.Closet]

Logitech G502 is one of the best IMO.
P.S. Nice video!

[guycalledguyuk]

Thanks for showing how to swap out the 'low DPI' button, because the most annoying thing about previous models is that its set too far forward to comfortably rest my thumb on it. Does it make a significant difference with the extra tab being slightly extended when you flip it round?

I have used the freewheel scroll wheel on these 502s for YEARS at work and at home. I most commonly use it to get back to the top of a long page very quickly, or sometimes when I just want a very low-effort way to scroll a long page periodically. I LOVE the freewheel scrollwheels!

“120 hours without RGB and 37 with it on”
Holy shit that is a massive drop. Definitely keeping RGB off

[OneTrueRicky]

One of the biggest improvements is that in the original G502 when you were on the "infinite scroll" and you shook your mouse the wheel rattled a lot and this is gone in the X Plus

[milannikulin]

I few days back I bought the G502 X Lightpeed, I love it. I bought the non rgb version because I liek the longer battery life and lighter mice. I also bought it because I can charge it when I not using my iMac

[tuco]

Just picked one up today. I am a MASSIVE G502 wireless fan. Had two of the original. Got the new white G502X and I would upgrade every day. SLIGHT changes but they are so worth it. Only thing I don't like so far is the DPI sensor is not a 3 bar system, so I am struggling to know which DPI I'm sitting at. I have to remember which RGB color lines up with different DPI's. Either way, upgrade all day. So worth it so far.

[onlygoodmarxistisadeadmarx]

Great video. Hey, I took the older ones back weighted plate and put it on the x plus. Its

[the_stixXx]

Thanks for the comparison! Cheers!
I spend a lot of time searching, clicking on small text links, editing text (dropping a cursor in), Designing in CAD and 3d programs and editing photos. No gaming though.
Could you please let me know your opinion on the following questions?
1. Do you find with the weights in the original G502 that it's more stable and easier to control?
2. How does your ring and pinky fall on the mouse? My hand is about 7.75 inches (19.685 cm) from tip of middle finger to crease at wrist and my pinky and ring finger always get fatigued, bother me (I'm currently using a M705)

Thank you in advance.

[shakeyoulikehaiti]

I love the video, but I do have a quick question. Did you use the mouse that you personally been using for the sound test? If so, I would say to have an accurate sound test you would have to do it with both devices being new. Using the mouse will most certainly reduce the clickiness over time. Other than that, this was a very solid video and I really enjoyed it. Thank you.

One thing i hate about logitech is they release things randomly and one at a time. Now we have to wait who knows how long for the superlight to get usbc and optical

[nothabibikah]

1:20 Wait how come your lightspeed came with a braided cable but mine didn’t?!

[shacle]

1:36 what exactly is that for? I got my mouse today and im extremly confused on what im supposed to do with that

[Flak_TV]

The side thumb button is amazing, i use it for free look on all games i play. Wish more mice had it as an option. 502 is my go to tho
