Logitech G G502 HERO

The G502 HERO is the wired version of Logitech's long-running high-DPI workhorse, with adjustable weight tuning and many programmable buttons for players who want control over feel and macros. It's an aging but dependable beginner-tier all-rounder. It fits anyone who values buttons and weight tuning over low mass; the data lists no group it's wrong for.

Verdict

Best for

  • high-DPI wired gaming
  • adjustable weight tuning
  • many programmable buttons

Who should skip this

  • Ultralight FPS players — even before adding the tuning weights it's heavy for flick aiming
  • Wireless-required desks — this is the wired HERO model, so plan for a cable
  • Minimalists — eleven programmable buttons are wasted if you only need clicks and scroll
