I’ll never forget the first time I saw the Logitech G502 Proteus Core. I had (and actually still have) a Logitech G500s at home, and I thought that with a few tweaks, it could be a perfect mouse. Then, I stumbled across the G502 and knew I was looking at something special. When I got my hands on it, I awarded it a perfect score and thought it’d be a long time before I saw another mouse as good.
That was five years ago, and since then, Logitech has done very little to tamper with the G502’s winning formula. There’s now RGB lighting, and you can often find the peripheral for $60 instead of its usual $80, but the mouse just didn’t seem to need much else. In fact, I was surprised when Logitech contacted me and said the G502 was getting a big upgrade.
But the company wasn’t kidding, because the Logitech G502 Lightspeed ($150, or less with one of our Logitech promo codes) is completely wireless — and it’s also compatible with Logitech’s inventive PowerPlay wireless-charging system ($100), if you’re into that kind of thing. Everything that made the G502 wired variant work is still here, from the high-quality sensor, to the ergonomic design, to the inventive scroll-wheel options.

To be fair, the G502 Lightspeed falls just short of its predecessor’s lofty example due to a high price, a few inconvenient design decisions and the cruel, relentless flow of time. (There are simply better mice on the market today than what the original G502 faced.) But if you’ve always wanted one of the best gaming mice ever made without the inconvenience of wires, the G502 Lightspeed is almost as good as they come.
Design
If you’ve used any of the previous iterations of the G502, then you already know what the G502 Lightspeed looks like. For the rest of you, it’s a large (5.2 x 3.0 x 1.6 inches), right-handed, ergonomic mouse with a curved thumb rest and textured grips.
On the mouse’s topside, you’ll find a whopping 10 buttons. There’s a right-click button, a left-click button and a clickable scroll wheel; right below that, there’s a button that adjusts the scroll wheel’s resistance.
I’ve always found this feature extremely useful, since sometimes you want precision scrolling and sometimes you want to blast through a whole page in seconds.
Beneath that adjuster, there’s a programmable button that, by default, checks the battery level. Off to the left side of the left-click button, there’s a pair of dots-per-inch (DPI) sensitivity-adjustment buttons. On the side, there are two large thumb buttons, and just below them, there’s a «sniper» button that can temporarily lower the DPI. This is admittedly a lot of buttons for a not-gigantic mouse, but they’re laid out well and never feel too crowded.
The mouse gets considerably more interesting once you flip it over, though. That’s where you’ll find an on/off switch and a small, circular pop-out compartment. By default, this compartment stores the wireless dongle and can also store two optional 4-gram weights (more on this shortly). However, if you own the PowerPlay setup, you can also swap in the PowerPlay battery, which charges wirelessly as you play.
This is a useful feature, although it does limit your weight options.
That brings us to tunable weights. Like the wired G502, the G502 Lightspeed has a removable panel where you can add metallic weights. The design isn’t exactly the same as on the older mouse, since the G502 Lightspeed needs more room for wireless circuitry, but the result is the same.
I actually prefer the G502 Lightspeed’s approach to weights; this mouse uses small, trapezoidal weights rather than the previous model’s convoluted, semi-hexagonal models. Adding and removing weights is much easier than before, and there’s still a little carrying case to store extra weights. It’s a pain that you can’t use the 4-gram weights and the PowerPlay attachment simultaneously, but this is an annoyance not a deal breaker.

I do, however, have one small criticism of the G502’s design — which may actually be a point in the device’s favor. The design hasn’t changed at all in five years, which is admirable in a way.
But since 2014, Logitech has launched two fantastic high-end wireless mice series: the Logitech G900 (currently the G903) and the Logitech G Pro Wireless, both of which also retail for $150 by default. Compared to the angular, bulky G502, both newer mice seem positively futuristic, with sleek curves and, in the G903’s case, swappable parts to offer complete ambidexterity.
The G502’s design still holds up extremely well, but for the same price, Logitech’s other high-end wireless mice may feel a bit better to hold. Once I finished testing the G502, I went right back to the G903, and I haven’t looked back.
Features
The G502 Lightspeed runs on the Logitech G Hub software, which lets users customize DPI (100-16,000), control backlighting and program all of the mouse’s buttons. The software is pretty straightforward, and you can even program a secondary set of commands known as G-Shift. You’ll have access to these whenever you hold down a button of your choice.
(The sniper button is a good choice for this, in my experience, although I didn’t use it too much in general.)
While you can indeed program the color of the G logo on the palm rest, that’s just about the only part of the mouse that lights up. (The DPI monitor on the side lights up, too, but it’s so small you’ll hardly notice it.) While RGB features have never been the primary reason to buy or avoid a mouse, this one is going to look plain black most of the time. So bear that in mind if you’re all about aesthetics.
The wireless performance was flawless in my experience, whether I was deep into a gaming session or simply surfing the web.
Naturally, the G502 Lightspeed’s most important feature is the mouse’s wireless capability. Like with Logitech’s other wireless gear, the performance was flawless in my experience, whether I was deep into a gaming session or simply surfing the web. Furthermore, Logitech estimates that the mouse can go up to 48 hours between charges.
This is possible, if you turn down the lighting and remember to actually turn it off between sessions — unless you use PowerPlay, of course, in which case you won’t have to charge the mouse at all.
Performance
This won’t surprise anyone who’s played with a Logitech G mouse within the last few years, but the G502 Lightspeed performed flawlessly in games. With the peripheral in hand, I built up massive Zerg armies in StarCraft: Remastered, gunned down foes in Overwatch, played cunning card games in Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales and slew deadly harpies in World of Warcraft. The G502 Lightspeed proved responsive, accurate and precise.
When you find a wireless gadget that performs even better than its wired counterpart, it’s hard to ask for more.
In fact, I happen to have an older, wired G502 version handy, so I was able to compare the two devices head to head. The Lightspeed feels at least as good as the older model — and arguably better, since it has a better sensor and no wires to get in the way.
When you find a wireless gadget that performs even better than its wired counterpart, it’s hard to ask for more.
Bottom Line
The G502 is no longer the absolute last word in gaming mice, so it makes sense that the G502 Lightspeed is not the absolute last word in wireless gaming mice. I prefer the G903, personally, and there is certainly something to be said for inexpensive models like the Corsair Harpoon RGB Wireless ($50).
But still, the G502 is an unqualified success, and it’s sure to please fans of the original who have been longing to go wireless (or simply any gamer looking for a great wireless mouse). Just start saving your pennies; this mouse is pretty pricey, particularly if you want the PowerPlay system to go with it.

Sometimes you can’t beat the classics. But you can reimagine them. The Logitech G502 Lightspeed takes one of the company’s most loved gaming mice and makes it lighter, faster and wireless. The $149.99 (£129.99) mouse is specced to the gills, with support for the company’s Powerplay charging mouse pad and even a bit of RGB lighting. Such features help this mouse land not only on our Best Wireless Mouse page, but also our Best Gaming Mouse page.
But Powerplay gets in the way of weight customization, and at $150, it’s expensive for a mouse.

Here’s the small miracle that Logitech pulled it off: The G502 Lightspeed, though completely redesigned internally, is a dead ringer for the old G502 Proteus Spectrum.
If you cut the wire off of the old model, you’d basically have the LightSpeed. It’s impressive. Logitech’s most popular, ergonomic gaming mouse looks the same despite some serious re-engineering.
So let’s be clear. This is a right-handed gaming mouse with gaming trappings: an angular, matte black design, two RGB light zones (one of them is the Logitech G logo), plus stripes and rubberized accents that are functional, but also give the mouse an edgy look.
There’s still a rubberized, U-shaped rest for your thumb, a comfortable rounded hump and elongated buttons that feel good in both a claw and palm grip. And all of this weighs less than the old wired model at just 114 grams (4.3 ounces), despite the battery inside.
The weight, by the way, is customizable. The weight system is on the bottom and highlights some of the biggest changes to the mouse. If you prefer a heavier mouse or want to weigh the mouse more to one side or the other, you can add an additional 16g via two 4g weights and four 2g weights.
The larger weights fit in a pop-out puck (more on this puck below), and a plate around the sensor reveals room for the smaller weights, which you can put in four different compartments.
The G502 Lightspeed is also compatible with Logitech’s Powerplay wireless charging system (more on that later). If you opt to use that, you need to replace the puck that comes with the mouse with a wireless charging puck. That means that if you use wireless charging, you can’t add the 8g of weight to the back.
Some die-hards may notice that the scroll wheel, which was made entirely of metal on the original G502, is a little less beefy this time around. It has a rubberized grips and feels really light. As with the original, there’s a button to switch between smooth and clicky, notched scrolling.

Gaming Performance
With 11 programmable buttons, the G502 Lightspeed is equipped for any game. It has the basic form factor for a first-person shooter, and it worked great when I played Overwatch. It was fast and responsive, and the DPI button near where my thumb rested let me take easy, precise aim at opponents.
Those extra buttons along the side are also opportunities to customize for MMOs, to load up lots of spells.
The HERO 16K sensor, 100 — 16,000 DPI sensitivity options and 1,000 Hz polling rates provide plenty of options for gamers, and makes it great for both shooters and strategy games, especially when you assign DPI adjustment to the buttons.
And while I didn’t notice any lag while using the Lightspeed, you can always connect the detachable cable if you’re worried about that kind of thing.
Features and Software
At the expense of adding some weight, the G502 Lightspeed is compatible with Logitech’s Powerplay charging mouse pad, which plugs into your PC via USB Type-A. This is primarily how I used it, so I didn’t need to worry about charging it. (For those using it without the charging mat, Logitech claims 48 hours of use with default lighting and 60 with no lighting.)
The G502 Lightspeed is compatible with Logitech’s G Hub software, where you have the ability to reprogram buttons, customize RGB and adjust DPI sensitivity. So those who want to get really fine-grained with their rodent personalization will be spending a good amount of time here.
In G Hub, you can even create different profiles and have your customizations ready for different game genres or for productivity. I had one set up to open a screenshot utility on my desktop (see how too take screenshots in Windows), for instance, though in game you’re more likely to map certain moves, skills, items, abilities or commands to a button.
There’s also macro recording functionality.
It’s hard to find much to dislike about the Logitech G502 Lightspeed, other than the price. The classic design is ergonomic and comfortable, the weight is adjustable and, of course, it’s wireless. It has long battery life, and if you have a Powerplay charging mat, you won’t ever have to worry about plugging it in.
But Powerplay means you can’t use some of the weights, which limits your customization options. It’s a shame both features couldn’t be fully implemented. Plus, $150 is a lot to spend on a mouse. And if you want to also opt for the wireless charging mat it supports, that tacks another $100 onto the price. Corsair’s Ironclaw RGB Wireless, for instance, is $80, and a Razer Mamba wireless is about $100.
But for all of this customization and comfort, you may gain a bit of an edge, and that may be worth the splurge. And for those who can’t quite justify the price but still like what the G502 Lightspeed brings to the gaming table, keep an eye out for sales.
Logitech’s peripherals frequently go on sale with substantial discounts at both online stores and places like Best Buy in the U.S.

Logitech G502 X Lightspeed: redesigned icon [full review]
O Logitech G502 X Lightspeed is a smart upgrade for your gaming mouse (see official website)🇧🇷 Like its predecessor, the Logitech G502 Lightspeed, G502 X Lightspeed is comfortable, functional and beautifully designed device with excellent core performance and many additional features. However, unlike its predecessor, the G502 is a little more elegant, a little more customizable and a little cheaper, at least for the standard version.
Since the G502 X Lightspeed is still the Logitech G502, it’s admittedly hard to find any serious flaws. The retention of RGB lighting compared to the more expensive Logitech G502 X Plus is a small step backwards, and for a mouse in this price range, it should have Bluetooth connectivity.
But otherwise, the G502 X Lightspeed is a contender for the best gaming mouse and the best wireless gaming mouse you can buy.
Let’s talk a little about the Logitech G502 X Lightspeed and if in doubt it’s just leave it in the comments.
summary
Logitech G502 X speed settings
Before we go into detail about the Logitech G502 X Lightspeed, it is important to note that there are two variants of this gamer mouse:
- th design. , USB Wireless , Software Compatibility Logitech G hub, long life battery and receiver that also supports Logitech G keyboards.
- There’s also the Logitech G502 X Plus, which sells for a bit more and has the same functionality as Lightspeed in all but one area: RGB lighting. The G502 X Plus has a beautiful and quirky LED strip running across the palmrest where you can program different lighting schemes, from rainbow waves to static colors. This device has a slightly shorter battery life (130 hours instead of 140) and slightly more weight, but otherwise looks identical to the G502 Lightspeed.

Performance
The Logitech G502 X Lightspeed has so many programmable buttons that MMO fans might be wondering what they can do with so many features available.
Since these additional buttons are unobtrusive, real-time strategy (RTS) and multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) players should have no problem. About the gamer mouse it is really comfortable to wear for many hours. No wrist and finger fatigue. I also liked the G Hub software, which can be used to customize controls and buttons.
The mouse is compatible with Windows, but it can also be used with a MacBook, but remember that not all mouse functions work with a Mac. Either way, the Logitech G502 X Plus is built for gaming and won’t disappoint. it uses the hero 25k sensor which can reach 25.000 DPI (DPI simply means how many points per second the mouse cursor moves. The higher the number, the higher the sensitivity), and its light speed technology reduces latency.
Design and construction
If you’re familiar with previous G502 models, the Logitech G502 X Lightspeed should look pretty familiar to you. Like the latest versions, the G502 X Lightspeed is an ergonomic right-handed mouse with a curved profile, thumb rest, textured grip, and a slight indentation in the palm rest.
It’s a little smaller, lighter and lower than its predecessors, and also a little less angular. Otherwise, however, the G502 X Lightspeed doesn’t reinvent the wheel.
In terms of buttons, the device is generous without feeling overdone. The front panel has a left button, a right button, a scroll wheel that clicks in three ways, and two dots per inch (DPI) sensitivity adjustment buttons on the left. Below the scroll wheel is a programmable button that changes profiles and a non-programmable button that changes the voltage on the scroll wheel. Free scroll mode is incredibly useful if you’re doing productive work that requires you to quickly scroll through documents.
side buttons
There are two thumb buttons on the side and a «sniper» button that can temporarily lower DPI for leveling headshots and the like. The sniper button has received a huge improvement over the last time. You can now change the default button design to a spade button below the thumb buttons.
For competitive players with small hands, this is a boon. Replacing the button is easy as it attaches and detaches with magnets. These magnets also hold it in place when you want the button to stay in place. While slightly lighter than the G502 Lightspeed, the G502 X Lightspeed is still comfortable to hold and has just the right amount of weight to help it go where it needs to go.
The Logitech G502 X is a great FPS mouse. It has a solid build quality and fits comfortably in the hand. It’s also decently light and has great feet that provide a very smooth glide across mousepads and tables. In terms of performance, its click lag is surprisingly low, which ensures a responsive gaming experience. Unfortunately, the mouse is too bulky for small hands to comfortably use.
Resources
The Logitech G502 X Lightspeed comes with intuitive Logitech G Hub software that lets you reprogram buttons, create profiles for specific games and apps, adjust DPI levels, and monitor battery life.
On the G502 X Plus, you can also customize the RGB lighting, which offers a variety of patterns and colors. The software isn’t flashy, but it works well enough.
Also worth noting is that the mouse offers five built-in profiles plus a theoretically infinite number of software profiles. This can be useful for tournament players or players who use the mouse on multiple computers. Switching between built-in and software profiles is easy, as is customizing both.
The G502 X Lightspeed Key also offers a neat trick, as you can connect a Logitech G mouse and keyboard, such as the Logitech G915, to it at the same time. More interesting is the battery life, which Logitech estimates at 140 hours on the Lightspeed and 130 hours on the Plus. Assuming you use the mouse for about eight hours a day, you get about 17 days of use with the lights off and maybe 10 days with the lights on.

Review Logitech G502 SE HERO
Gaming mouse Logitech G502 SE HERO is experiencing its third birth and improves with each new revision. If earlier it was a simple wired device backlit with a single-color LED, now you have a perfect gadget that captivates users not only with its beautiful appearance, but also with its functionality. It is equipped with the most advanced electronic components, which allows the device to respond to the fastest jerks and accurately position the cursor in sniper modes, engineering and design applications. A rich set of additional keys makes it possible to customize the device according to personal preferences.
Complete set
The mouse comes to the buyer in a cardboard box, decorated with high-quality printing. Inside the package there is an additional case and weights of 3.6 g, with which you can adjust the weight of the gaming device. In addition, the user will find only technical documentation in the box.
hero 16k sensor
The device has a new advanced optical type sensor for movement tracking. The Logitech G502 SE HERO, according to the manufacturer, has the most accurate optical sensor in existence. It uses innovative electronic components that allow you to capture the movement of the gadget at high speed.

The device is qualitatively assembled, all the details are in their places. Regardless of the intensity of use, the gadget does not emit extraneous sounds.
Additional features for ease of use:
- Long life mechanical key switches;
- Fabric braided cable, abrasion resistant;
- Rubberized inserts on the sides of the housing for easy lifting of the mouse;
- Fixing the bottom cover with magnets.
11 programmable buttons
There are eleven buttons on the mouse body, the functions of which can be changed using software. Presets are activated automatically depending on the running game or application software.
Now an experienced player can build buildings, dodge bullets or use first aid kits without pressing keys on the keyboard.
The user has access to ready-made profiles for the most popular games, but if necessary, they can be changed in the utility.
Instant change of sensitivity levels
The sensitivity of the gaming gadget’s sensor can be changed on the fly. There are five levels of settings for this, you can switch between them using a special key. The settings are already set by default, but they can be changed using the application.
