![]() ![]() Getting it to act like the device it’s replacing can sometimes be a herculean task. ![]() It usually takes a while to get used to a new device. The biggest hurdle I have with any mouse in general, is the initial setup phase. Performance wise, there is very little I can criticise about the G502. They’re just a lot smaller, and placed a little lower and out of the way. I’m just more used to my G500s I guess, which has the DPI buttons in a similar position to that of the G502. A less clumsy gamer will likely find little to no issue with that very same button. Can you imagine how many times it got clicked during frantic gaming? There was nothing worse than wondering why my aim in a fast paced game like Overwatch was completely off, only to realise that it’s due to that pesky G6, and not because I completely sucked (that may be true… BUT STILL). I pushed the G6 button often during ordinary PC use. Granted, doing so isn’t a huge missions (all I had to do was push G5 really) but this small annoyance can really be a bigger issue in-game. Many times, I had to stop whatever I was doing to rectify the situation. As a result of me accidentally clicking it multiple times, there were many occasions where my little cursor flew about a little too quickly for my liking. As you can see in the image above, it’s a button that rests just to the top left of the left click. Without even realising it, my finger often sidled over, and pushed the G6 button. My thumb for example sat on the allocated rubberised grip with ease, and had more than enough room to rest without fear of accidentally pushing something whenever I moved the mouse about.ĭespite its rad design, there is room for improvement on the G502. The buttons are also placed smartly (for the most part – more on that in a second). They should be easily accessible to every single user, no matter how small or large their hands are. Packed into the G502’s slim frame are a whopping 11 buttons, all of which are customisable. The G502 spin is so smooth and fast, that I managed to beat Darryn’s 100 meter scroll record of 00:54.04 seconds on my very first attempt, with a time of 00:51:32. Otherwise, if you’re inclined to live a little… dangeously, there’s a little button just below the wheel, which when pressed, will allow it to spin with reckless abandon. This will make weapon selection for example, as precise as one could ever hope for it to be. The scroll on the device has a satisfying, sure click to it. That sleek black finish, with a hint of customisable LED lights, really makes for an attractive piece of hardware that doesn’t look like it’s over the top, or trying too hard. Look, I know I’m a big Logitech fan, but I honestly don’t think I’m being even remotely subjective in saying that the G502 is a gorgeous looking mouse. Unboxing it however, yielded a device that is almost the exact same size as my G500s just the teeniest bit sleeker. This initially lead me to believe that the mouse itself was a lot more compact than what I’m used to. The box for the G502 is surprisingly skinny. Seeing a pattern here? Yeah, I’m quite the fan of Logitech mice, so imagine my excitement when their latest offering, the G502 Proteus Spectrum RGB tunable gaming mouse, ended up on my doorstep for review. I moved on to the more modern G500, and a few years later, to the mouse I’m using now, the G500s. The only reason I didn’t keep using it was because, well I had to keep with the times. That mouse served me for around 8 years, and it still works today. It later became obvious however, that I needed something more than my no-name brand mouse to take my skills to the next level.īased on a friend’s recommendation, I saved up some cash and threw it at a blue optical MX510. I played a plethora of multiplayer titles at several LANs, and later, online. Back in my high school days, I realised that I really enjoyed PC gaming, particularly the competitive side of it. ![]()
