Logitech's software for the G502 offers myriad options for tweaking and customizing the mouse to your liking. I dropped in two and was satisfied, but there's enough room for as many as five if you prefer a heavier mouse for less twitchy movement. The vaguely boomerang-shaped weights can be placed inside the mouse's belly to help balance the mouse's weight to your liking. Using "free spin" does make it less accurate when scrolling, so it's not great for gaming, but it works perfectly for browsing the web, and it's easy to switch between the two modes.įlipping the G502 over reveals an access panel that lets you add a few 3.6 gram weights. It's really fun to see how quickly you can scroll through your weapons in CS:GO while you wait for the warm-up period to end. Even when the button is depressed to set the wheel to operate normally, a finger flick sets it spinning like the Showcase Showdown on The Price Is Right. Enabling it turns off the clicky nature of the scroll wheel, allowing it to be spun as fast or slow as you like without any stops or clicks. In the center of the G502 are two more buttons one for switching game profiles and one that activates "hyper-fast scrolling," which is a very cool feature. These buttons are out of the way so it's tough to touch them accidentally, and there's a helpful light-up indicator to show you which setting is active. The G502 allows you to adjust mouse sensitivity on the fly, and the levels can be tweaked with Logitech's software (more on that later). I'd recommend programming it to perform a non-gaming function, or just ignoring it entirely.Īdjacent to the left-click button are the up-and-down-DPI buttons. The forward button is easy to reach, but I found the back button just a smidge too far back to reach comfortably. There are two buttons for back and forward just above the thumb rest. There's a sniping button just ahead of where your thumb rests that you hold down to change the DPI to its lowest setting, which is great for firing off a quick shot in Battlefield 1 (or Battlefield 1942). The G502 has 11 programmable buttons and they're all easy to access. It feels like it's a little on the smaller side, which made me wish there was a little more of an arc to the mid-section of the mouse where my palm rests. The rest of the mouse is smooth plastic without anything particularly noteworthy. The way it is curved made my grip feel tighter on the mouse, but without having to exert any extra effort. On the opposite side, the mouse is contoured for your thumb, which is actually quite nice. There's a textured section there to keep the mouse from slipping, but my initial reaction was that felt too coarse. It fit into my hand well enough, but the far-right side, where my pinky rests, is textured for grip and it felt strange and distracting to me. When I first laid my paw on the G502 my initial reaction was that it wasn't immediately comfortable. It's expensive at around $60 but considering its dizzying list of features the price matches its performance. It also features the company's most accurate sensor, 11 programmable buttons, and you can customize its weight as well. It's a replacement for the G502 Proteus Core, with the word Core being ditched in favor of the word Spectrum since this version has RGB lighting (naturally). It can be a bit bewildering trying to decipher Logitech's mouse lineup since it's so vast, but one thing is clear: the G502 Proteus Spectrum ($59 on Amazon) (£55.96 on Amazon UK)is its top-of-the-line wired gaming mouse for right handers, and it's got more features than most home appliances.
