It’s not drastic, but you can add an additional 8 grams if you peel open the underside compartment (16 grams if you don’t use the Powerplay module). If you prefer your mouse a little heavier, though, there are additional weights you can add in. That’s not super lightweight, but it’s not overly heavy either, offering a comparable feel to other high-end gaming mice. This resulted in a mouse that weighs 114 grams. It achieved that with a number of clever alterations, including redesigning the original G502 endoskeleton from the ground up. The G502 Lightspeed was designed from the ground up as a relatively lightweight wireless mouse, despite the added weight of a wireless transceiver and battery. That’s also where you’ll adjust the RGB lighting which is redundant on a mouse like this since your hand covers up the logo when in use. If I needed to switch down to a lower-DPI, a “sniper” button rests at the front of the thumb grip - although you can use the G-Hub software to adjust that to any of the other 11 programmable buttons. I found it great when gaming at high-speed, browsing the web, and performing minute adjustments when working in Photoshop, much like another favorite mouse of ours, the Steelseries Rival 700. It’s also incredibly efficient, which is part of the reason Logitech was able to squeeze two days of battery life out of the G502. There’s no acceleration, and it doesn’t stutter. It’s accurate, with a wide array of sensitivities all the way up to 16,000 DPI (more than most will need, although Logitech does assure us some do use all of it). The jewel in Logitech’s peripheral crown is its Hero sensor. But it does complete the package and mean that your wireless mouse is as much of a set-it-and-forget-it peripheral as any wired one. It’s also an expensive extra for what is typically the cheapest part of your on-desk accessories. The Powerplay mat is connected via a USB cable to your system, so it doesn’t remove a wire from your desk, even if it does help remove the wire from your mouse. The mouse charges while you use it, and you can even connect it wirelessly to the mat to ditch the need for the bundled USB receiver. Indeed, there is likely some tangible benefit to not having a wire dragging around after you.Īs for battery life, the G502 Lightspeed is rated to last up to 48 hours without charging, but if you employ the Powerplay Wireless Charging mat ($100 extra) you never even need to think about it. We’re told that it’s even faster than some wired mice, but even if there are faster mice out there, for all intents and purposes, a wireless connection no longer means a worse experience.
