Seven grams might not seem like a lot, but it’s a minor miracle. But the G502 Lightspeed somehow cuts the weight to 114 grams. The G502 Hero weighed in at a whopping 121 grams, and topped out at 139 grams-well above the 100 gram benchmark held as the industry ideal. That said, the Logitech G502 Lightspeed is actually the lightest G502 to-date, addressing a common complaint kicked around since the mouse’s first iteration. Suffice it to say, if you’re determined to weigh down the G502 Lightspeed, you can. You can slot in up to four 2.0 gram weights though-all of them, or two balanced out, or arrayed so the weight distributions thrown to one side or the other like the previous models. Like the older G502s, there’s a removable plastic panel you can peel off-though the one on the G502 Lightspeed is smaller and arrayed more towards the front of the mouse. Thus the Logitech G502 Lightspeed features a second system for weight customization. There’s an obvious caveat though: Powerplay users can’t take advantage, because these weights fill the same space as the Powercore module. Here, take a look at 2018’s G502 Hero and the G502 Lightspeed side-by-side: The wired and wireless Logitech G502 might as well be twins. It’s an amazing design feat, one so clever the average user won’t even notice. All the particulars of the G502 have been recreated, the features that have kept it on our list of the best gaming mice since its inception.

Even the dual-mode scroll returns, allowing you to switch between smooth and notched scroll modes at the press of a button. It’s still one of the most comfortable mice I’ve ever used-highly subjective, sure, but I’m far from alone in that assessment.Īs for functionality, the eleven-button layout remains intact, including the tilt wheel and the pair along the side of the left mouse button. It has the same gentle curve, the same elongated oval footprint, the same compact thumb rest off the left side. This is the G502, the same one I used daily for three years straight between 20, and off-and-on after as well. And in that regard the Logitech G502 Lightspeed is an unmitigated success.
