The G502 is one of the best-selling gaming mice ever made, and its one famous flaw was heft. The G502 X keeps the shape people love and cuts the weight to 89 grams with a thin-wall exoskeleton and a lightened scroll wheel, so it finally moves like a modern esports mouse. The clicks come from Logitech's LIGHTFORCE hybrid switches, which pair optical speed with the crisp mechanical feel that pure optical buttons usually lose.
Underneath sits the HERO 25K sensor, accurate to the sub-micron with zero smoothing or acceleration, which is more precision than any human hand can actually outrun. The scroll wheel switches between free-spin and ratcheting modes and tilts left and right for two extra bindings, and the DPI-shift thumb button is reversible and removable to fit your grip. Because it is wired, there is no battery to charge and no dongle to lose. This is the upgrade for the gamer still pushing around an office mouse, or the G502 loyalist whose original is worn shiny.
