Logitech G502 HERO mouse review.

Intergalactic Ranger

The Logitech G502 is now in its third iteration in its history. Initially, it was just a G502 Proteus Core model with a single-color backlight, then it was renamed the G502 Proteus Spectrum and added RGB backlighting with a few minor changes (concerning, in particular, work on user feedback, thanks to which a more flexible cable appeared in it), and this one once done everything at once. And they listened to the users, and put the most perfect filling. To clarify a couple of details: this mouse is unique in nature, and it will be very difficult to find an alternative to it. This is the first. Secondly, with the installation of a new sensor, the need to support the old model has disappeared, so the novelty will soon outlive its predecessor from the market, becoming the only current model. So if you are looking for a multi-button novelty, then the Logitech G502 HERO looks now as attractive as possible.

And it really has a lot of buttons! As many as 11 pieces fall at the disposal of the user, one has only to pull the mouse out of the box. The most important advantage is that, gradually improving the technical parameters of the mouse, its basis remained unshakable: the shape was not touched, the materials were also preserved, recognizable features were preserved and, in general, its design was left without any noticeable changes. Maybe somewhere the tone and shade of the materials have, of course, changed, but even remembering past models, this is quite difficult to track. Therefore, Logitech has not parted with the futuristic design of its mice for many years now, and in this case, the geometry and fragmentation of the device looks like an elegant visual solution. Only the logo on the back has changed – now it corresponds to the current corporate identity.

On the one hand, this is good. But on the other hand, the practicality of the device went under the knife. Dust and dirt collect all these charms simply at a breathtaking speed. In fact, if you look at practicality from the point of view of tenacity, then everything is not bad here: rubber pads with a textured surface, matte tenacious plastic on the back of the mouse and on the main buttons, however . .. When it comes to a bunch of small glossy inserts that are dotted with the whole mouse is literally from top to bottom, it’s better not to remember practicality.

And here the only thing that pleases me is the preservation of the previous functionality of the mouse. In particular – a chip with an inertial wheel that rotates at a frantic speed and is simply created for scrolling through pages or scrolling through news on social networks. Controversial decisions have also been preserved – for example, the sniper button on the left sidebar, which, on the one hand, is convenient because it is located near the thumb, but due to the not very large size of the mouse, it can easily fall under the distribution, and then a false actuation. Alas, my thumb, with an average palm size (18.5 cm), was constantly poking this button, and I can’t say that this always happened on purpose. As well as a solution with the preservation of the compartment for weights.

This, and the no-wireless solution, just boggles my mind. On the one hand, I understand that the transition of the G502 model to a more advanced sensor is a great opportunity to keep the device in service with the most up-to-date stuffing, but some anachronistic solutions should be a thing of the past. Not only does the Logitech G502 HERO mouse itself weigh 121 grams – which is a lot by today’s standards – but with an energy-saving sensor, the mouse has no wireless technology at all. It would seem that it was possible to abandon the compartment with weights, and to place a small-capacity battery in the saved space, which would ideally fit in conjunction with the HERO sensor, and thus the mouse would receive remarkable autonomy in the region of a week, but … Instead, we observe a pack with weights, which allows you to increase the weight of the mouse by 18 grams. So the prioritization in terms of the need for certain features in the case of the G502 is not entirely clear to me. It is clear that the G502 is not an eSports mouse, but still, no one canceled the wireless amenities. Moreover, some people directly declare that they love Logitech and take this particular mouse for convenient work on a PC.

Anyway, the Logitech G502 cable has long been legendary: it has always been a thick and clumsy sausage. In the case of the G502 HERO, the situation has changed markedly for the better, but I would gladly sacrifice the weights and part with the wire in order to get a wireless model that is not burdened by such a cable. Like many of us, presumably. The cable for the Logitech G502 HERO mouse has lost a bit of weight and acquired lightness and softness, which is very important for any wired mouse, but still it is far from the same weightless cables manufactured by Razer. Another controversial decision is the presence of a huge number of scattered Teflon glides, some of which are almost hexagonal in shape, which makes it very difficult to find a similar set if it needs to be replaced. But here the excellent Logitech service comes to the rescue, which will always help you figure it out with the mouse, and send a set of new glide by mail. This, by the way, is one of the reasons why there is nothing else in the complete boxes: only a mouse and pieces of paper. And everything else can always be obtained through the warranty department, and in this kind of service from Logitech is close to ideal.

However, behind all these nuances, you forget about the main thing – the form. And the shape of the mouse is simply excellent. Designed as a spoof of symmetry with a slim waist and ergonomic button layout, it’s the perfect tool for almost any hand. Quite elongated, not too tall, not too sloping and almost not humpbacked, it will fit almost any palm, but it is most convenient to hold the mouse with a palm-claw or palm-finger grip. A full-fledged palm grip is impossible here due to the narrowness of the shape and due to the presence of a sniper button, and a finger grip will be hampered by a very noticeable mass of the device. Not to say that this mouse has grip limitations, just with its versatility, it has its own nuances that you should pay attention to so as not to experience discomfort later.

Much more noticeable changes have been made to the filling. And now we are not only talking about the HERO optical sensor, which provides a fabulous resolution from 100 to 16,000 dpi with the ability to adjust the dpi step to 50. And not about its sky-high technical parameters, where the speed is 400 ips, and acceleration is 40 g. No. Here, even the buttons feel differently – Logitech has always been very good in this area. But in this model, they put Omron switches for 50 million clicks, which is why the mouse turned out to be extremely reliable, and the main buttons are pressed easily, briefly and clearly. The wheel, as it was, remains flawless, and it is built on an indestructible optical encoder. In inertial scrolling mode, it, of course, does not make any sounds, and in the mode with fixed cutoffs when scrolling, it pretty cracks when scrolling. But the step-by-step cutoffs of the wheel are very soft, tangible and accurate. And, by the way, unlike similar models (like the same G Pro Wireless), the wheel was not made hollow to lighten the device – everything has remained unchanged since the very first version of this mouse.

The software has not changed either. The user now has the Logitech G Hub, which we already reviewed in the Logitech G Pro Wireless review, but, in my opinion, it is still damp, as there are various technical oversights that do not allow using the software without problems. So Logitech Gaming Software comes to the rescue, as this software is still in service, and it has everything you need to set up a mouse. The mouse supports storing three profiles in its memory, so you can write whatever your heart desires to it, and use these functions even away from a PC with installed software. The range of features of LGS has always pleased and did not shine with unnecessary frills, and therefore here you can reassign all the keys, fine-tune the sensor sensitivity levels, play around with the backlight, and also track the number of clicks on a particular button. It is worth remembering that this function requires constant launch, so as a permanent and uninterrupted tool for collecting statistics, it obviously will not work.

What I like the most about the Logitech G502 HERO is its compact and folded shape, which allows for a good grip on the palm, allowing headshots left and right. My main problem was the sniper button – I had to bend my thumb all the time so as not to inadvertently press it. And then I just turned off this button and did not know the problems. The HERO sensor is exceptionally good: excellent accuracy, ultra-fast response to the slightest movement and the absence of any interference or incorrigible errors make this sensor one of the best on the market. The only pity is that in the presence of energy efficiency, this quality is not used in any way.

And everything else is not so significant, but I would like to note something. Firstly, the cable – it really stopped dragging the mouse along, and this is a small progress. Secondly, mass. Say what you like, but the mouse does not pretend to be an esports weapon, and despite the fact that it is perfect for games of absolutely any genre, it is unlikely to be able to prove itself as well in the esports field as, say, some model like the G403 or G Pro Wireless. The presence of a bunch of buttons (the same sniper button), a cable and a large mass – some of this can become an obstacle on the way to the coveted headshot. And it will happen, as you might guess, at the most inopportune moment. Therefore, it is rather a universal solution, so that you can unleash the capabilities of the mouse to the maximum in any programs, and play without any restrictions.

The Logitech G502 HERO is a natural update to the company’s multi-button and very popular model, which has acquired the most advanced optical sensor of its own production, and in terms of reliability, the mouse gained confidence by installing new and durable Omron switches. The price of this model has not changed much compared to previous brothers, so if you are looking for a multi-button mouse (for work or for games in the MOBA genre), then the Logitech G502 will suit you perfectly. This is a great example of an excellent minor update, where a form that has been proven over the years was simply brought to mind, equipping it with the most up-to-date hardware.
