Review: G502 (Weighted Version) - an FPS Gaming Must Have! - I can only compare this product to my other mouse - Logitech G600. This mouse is only superior to my main in FPS game but it's undescribably better at it. My main mouse definitely limited my performance in FPS games and I must say this one is a must have for any kind of FPS game. (I've only tested it on CS:GO, Modern Warfare [2019] and Overwatch but the difference between all those games makes me believe this is an all-round great product for any FPS titles across the board.) This is a great product and so is the complimentary logitech software. Wasn't expecting anything less, as it's a solid product, as most other products are from Logitech (At the right price ofc). Was definitely surprised by the effect this had on my performance. The weights are perfect for matching the weight of my main mouse so that I don't have to keep getting used to either whenever switching between them. Personally I've noticed putting more weight on the side that's last to be raised is most effective. However, this doesn't vary with me as I tilt the mouse onto my thumb when doing flicks. Once you get used to the button layout and the design it's very comfortable however, the buttons on the left of the left mouse button are very difficult to get used and sometimes I'll press one by accident - the default setting for this either increases or decreased DPI making it very irritating at times but you can change this using the Logitech app. The only real con for this mouse is that when I do 'flicks' the mouse wheel shakes about making unnessecary noise however due to my playstyle I rarely do flicks therefore it isn't annoying. Possibly the other con for me was that the mouse has to be on a surface to move as the laser doesn't pick anything up the moment you raise it slightly but after a few matches I've gotten used to this and woudn't say it's bad thing as it actually helps me with presicion and accuracy. The G-Shift function in the app doesn't seem to work the same way it does on my G600 but I cannot imagine finding use for it in FPS gaming anyway. Also to begin with the mouse actually felt horrible on my mouse mat but after a few minutes it became much smoother and now its probably smoother than my main. In terms of maintenance and cleanliness it does look like it'd be difficult/annoying to clean however, I cannot say for sure as I've only been using it two weeks. Overall I'd say this mouse is a must for FPS games but that's about it. My other mouse is much better at everything else game/general-use related. I got this at a discount and I'm definitely happy with the product however, if I was looking to completely swap out mouses I'd probably be disappoint as I don't spend most of my time on a computer playing FPS games.
Review: opinions and use of the logitech g502 proteus spectrum - the mouse fits very well in the hand. Very good ergonomics (small to medium sized hand) the mouse looks really cool like some futuristic weapon tech the sensor accuracy is excellent the logitech gaming software for the mouse is great. Everything is customizable down to the rgb lighting (which can be switched off if desired however I personally have it on), polling rate, dpi (dpi has up to 5 profiles and can go up in stages of 50 from 200 to 12000 however I find 1500 to 3000 enough) and all 11 buttons on the mouse. the software is flawless so far. can even customize some buttons to use as copy, paste and for other web browsing uses which is nice the placement of the buttons is good however this is subject to opinion. buttons are never pressed accidentally and there is the option to disable the extra buttons if wanted can store specific setup profiles both on the mouse and game specific some people say the base weight of the mouse is heavy however I found the base weight of the mouse is very nice with the option to add 5 extra weights each 3.6g if wanted which uses a magnetic locking system. with the extra weights the mouse can be a bit rougher to glide which is probably to be expected and using no weights the mouse if far smoother on the mouse mat. option to upgrade mouse feet is there I believe all of the buttons/clicks and scroll wheel work very well and are very nice (not too light to press/click accidentally) both mouse clicks are rated at 20 million tested on moba, fps and battle royale games which the mouse was absolutely fine on all of them however am personally not fussed as a mouse is a mouse the braided cable is nice some complaints I've seen is of a scroll wheel "rattle" from side to side which I was skeptical of purchasing because of however realistically the rattle/clicks don't happen unless I force it to happen, will see how it goes in the long run, due to the nature of having a left and right click of the mouse wheel this is likely to happen when shaking the mouse however maybe could have been made a bit more secured? all down to opinion however it isn't a problem at all. The option of having a left and right mouse wheel click is a nice feature imo I like the fact the mouse has 11 buttons I know of other people who use the same mouse and they think its amazing so can see why its a popular mouse not perfect however the mouse is very good and recommended also going by other online reviews as well

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great mouse as usual with added RGB feature now.
*by A***Q on 25 March 2016*

I had the logitech g502 Proteus core mouse before this one. Now the mice are almost identical - except 2 things. This one has RGB lighting and the blue accent portion on the left is now a black colour.. I gave the g502 standard mouse an amazing review as the best mouse I've used: "I can tell you this mouse is amazing. The customization and the accuracy is unreal. Yes you can go upto 12000 DPI but why would you? I currently use it at 2700 DPI for the game I play but it has a button perfectly placed near your thumb so you don't accidentally press it but can easily reach it when you need to. This button allows you to switch between 2 DPI settings on the fly so great for FPS games if you're trying to snipe someone and need to lower DPI quickly for better accuracy. The mouse also has a really solid feel and fits perfectly in my hand. The added optional weights is a great at helping getting the mouse suited to your needs. And the optical sensor on it is amazing." This has exactly the same sensor so I knew what to expect. The added customisation for the same price was was too tempting for me. This mouse still has the added options of changing your DPI on the fly with upto 4 presets. The mouse wheel still has 2 modes which are both amazing and easy to use. All in all I still love this mouse with now added RGB lighting to match with any setup. I also picked this up on the amazon easter deal including the wireless Logitech G933 RGB headset. I got both for £151. Now considering the heaset alone is £170 and this mouse is £70 - I practically got the mouse for free with another £20 off! Quality from Logitech - you'll never need another mouse again.
