Processing / Form
The G 502 is almost completely made of plastic. This feels very valuable and makes a solid impression. By using different mats and glossy plastic parts makes the G502 an interesting and modern impression. Through the blue lights and the blue remote thumb-holder the mouse lined Optical well in the other Logitech gaming products. Something unusual mouse wheel made of metal is that the G502 are the finishing touches to the fighting machine.
The ergonomic shape of the mouse allows a player easily hold all popular modes (Palm Grip / fingertip grip / Claw Grip). But it is important to mention that the mouse is suitable for right-handed only I think !!! The mouse can be adjusted by weights on the bottom optimally to the Player. The weights are stowed on the underside of the mouse. For this, the cover must by gently pulling on the blue thumb rest are removed. The fixing of the cover via magnet has been optimally implemented by Logitech.
Precession
The two main mouse buttons were made by the renowned manufacturer Omron button (which also provides the Romer-G Switches the new G910 keyboard). The switches have a well-coordinated triggering behavior (not too tight: Fast Click a row is no problem) (not too easy: triggering the button without intention does not happen). The other modifier keys have a consistent tripping behavior and can be operated without problems. The scroll wheel is smooth and has a pleasant resistance. This can be turned off by pressing the mechanical barrier in front of the wheel either. Thus, endless PDF files can be browsed instantly. Important at this point is still a clearly audible noise generated by the mouse wheel while scrolling. However, this noise, I feel at any time as disturbing !! The core discipline of a gaming mouse is well known, the precession. Here convinced the G502 across the board !! The 12,000 dpi sensor works extremely precise and enables precise control.
Functionality
About the Logitech Gaming Software allows the G502, like all other popular gaming product from Logitech, set very comfortably and precisely. Here, the integrated flash memory in the mouse has proven to be extremely practical. Using the memory can scale profiles are stored not only on the hard disk but directly on the mouse. Thus I have anywhere access to my most common profiles. In addition, the driver enables you to create profiles for individual games. These are automatically loaded by the driver at start of the game / software and terminated again when you turn off the game. As easily as the Logitech drivers, this has been solved, no other driver. The lighting of the Logitech Gaming-symbol can be dimmed via the software and adjust lighting effects. Who likes can even exhibit the DPI display or can be faded briefly only when changing the DPI. Personally, I have enabled both illumination sources and delight in the blue light on my desk.
Conclusion
The G502 has convinced me in every aspect and has become a faithful companion to. Finally I found the best gaming mouse for me.
The G502 slides recently on the Logitech G440 Gaming Mouse Hard. This is admittedly quite expensive with 30 euros but also convinces in every aspect.
