If has also been game-changing for multi-selection in CAD work.īetween G-shift, macros, and tying profiles to applications, G-Hub makes my G502 more than capable for tasks outside the game. Holding it down, I can highlight multiple cells in a spreadsheet, drag-n-drop multiple files in file explorer, and scroll to zoom webpages or PDFs. I’ve done many layout experiments, from media control profiles, to cut/copy/paste, and even a brief stint involving Windows Dictation. If you already know what actions you want to transfer over from the keyboard, this mouse will deliver. Logitech G Hub is by no means the perfect piece of software (for example, if you put a modifier key like ctrl or shift in the g-shift layer, that modifier key can get permanently registered as “held down”) but I already have 10 other background apps running on my PC at all times the CPU/RAM overhead is no issue. You’re in CTRLĭPI shift is far from the only useful clicker offered by the G502. At a normal 1,300 DPI, this mouse has a faster top speed than my trackpad, and when I need an incredible level of precision, I just squeeze my grip to drop down to 300 DPI.ĭPI shifting might not be important for anyone but snipers, but I would never want another mouse without it. The difference provided by the G502 isn’t just the HERO sensor, it’s the side-mounted DPI shift button. The G502 is the first mouse to overthrow my preference for the trackpad. It prioritizes precision over speed, its location is always conveniently near the screen, and it has unique capabilities through multi-touch gestures. It’s almost as though Logitech knew nobody was ever going to use this “feature…” I need a HEROĮven though my laptop's trackpad is quantifiably not the most accurate or precise, (Even an MX Air beats it when it has a proper mousepad to sink its laser into!) I have used this trackpad habitually in favor of other input devices for a long time. When installed, the underbelly door bulges and digs into the mousepad. Last minute update: I never even attempted to install the G502’s weights until now, and it turns out they do not fit in their grooves. Even if you like heavy mice, the G502 is supposed to give you choice! If it were under 100 grams, maybe even under 90 grams, and it came with an optional metal underbelly to bump the weight back up, I’d have few reservations calling it “as good as you’ll ever need”. My grievance was compounded when I learned gaming mice were supposed to be light. After a while, though, pushing a brick around became less of a relief and more of a nuisance. I actually preferred this at first, as the G703 was too big for my hand yet too light for its size. (Logitech claims 121g.) The biggest thing holding this mouse back is its inertia. The G502 clocks in at 125 grams according to my kitchen scale, without the tuning weights installed. We need to address the elephant in the room My interests, and my laptop’s strengths, lie in programming, graphic design, and most recently, CAD software. So yes, I am the proud owner of a Logitech G502 HERO SE. Third, even if I wasn’t swamped by finals at the time, I didn’t know how to search for product reviews on Reddit. I put this mouse on my Christmas list for three reasons: First, it was the absolute antithesis of my G703 (which had multiple RMA-worthy issues.) Second, it was the mouse of choice of both my e-sports playing college roommate and my computer science project partner. 16 months ago, I didn’t even know this community existed. I get it, the G502 is a meme in this community.
