The big draw for the G502 HERO is the HERO (High-Efficiency Rated Optical) 16K sensor built for speed, accuracy, and responsiveness. The upgraded textured rubber side button grips are comfortable and the mouse appears to be slightly slimmer and longer than the G502 Proteus for a more ergonomic fit.Īlthough many fans of the G502 Proteus Spectrum were hoping for a wireless version for their next release, the G502 HERO’s updated cable is thinner and features a tighter knit that which will likely make it last longer. Lighting can be customised using 16.8 million colours via Logitech G’s LIGHTSYNC RGB technology, up to five profiles can be stored via the Logitech Gaming Software, so you can take your customised settings with you. The Logitech ‘G’ logo on the body of the mouse has been switched out for a new sleeker version with dynamic RGB lighting. The mechanical switches were made in collaboration with OMRON and deliver 50 million clicks, a nice improvement over the predecessor. The button that’s the most fun for fidgeters is hands down the button that unlocks the scrolling wheel, so you can spin that to your heart’s content. The buttons can also be reprogrammed for select commands and macros via the Logitech Gaming Software (LGS), which is easy to download and navigate.

While eleven buttons might seem excessive, the buttons are intuitively placed and designed in such a way that users wouldn’t accidentally press any. However, the difference is negligible to the average user. Even keeping the weight on one side over the other. The beauty of the removable weights is that you can tailor the mouse to your own weighted preference. The weights are the same as the HERO’s predecessor, and the mouse weighs about 121g when weight-free and 139g when fully loaded. The G502 HERO is almost identical to its predecessor, retaining the eleven programmable buttons, oval shape, rubber grips, and five adjustable 3.6g weights. The HERO iteration includes Logitech’s new flagship sensor, the HERO 16K sensor, which Logitech claims is the highest performance and most accurate sensor available on the market today.

The G502 HERO is a modest improvement over its predecessor, the fan-favourite G502 Proteus Spectrum RGB Tunable Gaming Mouse. World-renowned gaming hardware manufacturer, Logitech has released the latest addition to their gaming mouse arsenal: the Logitech G502 HERO Mouse (RRP $129.95).
