it was only a matter of time people one of the most popular gaming minds from
logitech g502 gets a wireless upgrade they've been doing such a good job of
breaking down the stigma surrounding wireless peripherals and gaming in terms
of battery life and sensor performance and their current wireless army
portfolio is plenty satisfactory and so this is my experience with the g502
Lightspeed Wireless enjoy after this
damn what I provide TX system you run and this is an ATX machine you mean
micro idea no no full sized ATX components it's just a small package it
can still satisfy the Q 500 l by Coolermaster and affordable and the
pretty compact enclosure for all your regular hardware with perforated
exterior and PSU bracket the chips up-and-down flexible signed IO and
awesome cable management the Q 500 l a compact frame with full ATX satisfaction
check it out below alright so let's get the technicals out of the way first
among the entire wireless army from large tech this one is a bit on the
heavier side at 114 grams with the option to add 16 more grams with these
new weight systems keeping true to the original design either adding 8 grams to
the back of the mouse and or distributing smaller 2 gram weights
around the center balance for people who love a heavier Mouse under the hand this
is awesome but I still prefer the lightweight champion the G pro Wireless
that is the same price by the way over the g502 Lightspeed and of course
this is for all my FPS goodness where as I'm totally fine using the g502 for
editing and like some more critical things but aim wise I'm more comfortable
with lighter and as usual all the mice will be linked in the description below
if you check out thank you very much now despite it looking the same with the
side textures and the glossy buttons everything under the hood is actually
totally new to make it even lighter versus the wired version so the
fan-favorite hyper scroll wheel is now rubberized and fitter with super tactile
scroll steps and the same activation for hyper scroll the bottom magnetic plate
is smaller to reveal our weight compartment there's also the cover for
the USB receiver area and if you have a power-play mat this
where you insert the power park that charges the mouse whenever it's on the
powerplay mat oh my god that is a lot of power and honestly I would be okay for
them not to include the power plate compatibility and lowering the price of
it the G logo is now slightly larger with all the same RGB goodness and the
buttons are on the right places with dpi up and down browser switches and the
sniper button or dpi shift is slightly too forward for my grip style but if we
okay for larger hands also by default you can check the battery status with
the g9 key that gives us a color code everything is remarkable as usual and
you can save your profiles to the mouse itself but that is for some reason
inside the gear settings and the DPI shift speeds are adjusted in one
increments for really precise customization on that wonderful hero 16k
sensor and that's what we've seen on all their flagship wireless mice so far plus
the hero ditions or the g pro and the g502 literally there's nothing bad to
say about its performance there's no filtering no acceleration zero smoothing
so you basically get raw tracking throughout the entire full range of dpi
and the only disadvantage here is the lack of any lift off distance adjustment
which is not really an issue at lower dpi but it might become a little bit too
jerky at higher dpi settings as for battery life this thing is rated at 48
hours of continuous usage which means for my activity I can go for a whole
week eight hours a day on a single charge the sensor is super efficient and
shuts down whenever it's not in use and so the only culprit here is that RGB
illumination logo it's consuming more power than the sensor while in use oh
and the cable included here is very nice but giving the deep housing for that
micro USB port at the front don't lose the cable and so I remember using the
g502 proteus spectrum the original one and you thinking it was my favorite
Mouse because I loved the shape I love the buttons I love the scroll wheel and
the weight at the time was not really an issue it provided a little bit more
stability for my desktop operations but as mice got smaller as my mice got
lighter and wireless I've actually never looked back but I can totally see the
appeal of the g502 wireless 4 to replace the original for many users and for
casual gaming the weight is not really for me but I do feel slightly locked
down and less free with my aim versus the total control that I feel with my
flicks on the G pro wireless or the original G
pro Mouse perhaps I've just gotten totally used to the simplified shape and
not really fanned this whole complex design you know some years ago I was
totally into that but now with this like the more economic shape and much lighter
body and the same price - I would say that for most people if you have $150
for Mouse definitely consider the G Pro wireless instead unless of course you've
been using the original G502 and really love the shape want to stick with
it and then of course the g fiber - Wireless would be satisfactory but
having said all that the launch tech G305 is still my top favorite Wireless
recommendation for Mouse because of its shape because of its battery life
because what's wait at 99 grams and you can further reduce that by using a
lithium battery and the price do it only $60 you cannot go wrong and if the G502
wireless was slightly cheaper to separate itself from the end game
that there's the G Pro wireless then I would say you'd have better chances but
for now I would recommend the G / Wireless all the way all right I don't
mean to disappoint and I know there are many people who love the g502 for
exactly what it is it's like your heavier Mouse a bit more complicated
shape cool design that hyper scroll wheel button as well but if you could
look beyond the horizon especially at that $150 price point then definitely
consider other options thanks for watching i'll tell you guys next week
