Logitech G502 Lightspeed review: a gaming mouse for the ages
The original G502 gaming mouse was released almost five years ago now. In tech years that makes it practically a pensioner. But it’s a much-loved pensioner and one that can still go toe-to-toe with the best of the digital rodents released into the market. It has always remained a resolutely wired mouse, however, even once it was updated with Logitech’s in-house Hero sensor.
And that’s been an issue for many people. Indeed Logitech, and even its external agency people, tell me for every research event, social, or forum posting the company puts out there will always be at least one person responding with the same question. When are you going to release a wireless version of the G502? And that’s whether they’re researching VR, gaming, or smart home stuff.
The G502 is, apparently, the best-selling gaming mouse on the planet - potentially thanks to the intervening years making its original high price tag now far lower - and it would seem like a no-brainer to simply drop a wireless sensor into place and ship it out into the wild. But these things, they are not so simple to do, in fact Logitech’s principal optical engineer explained the G502 Lightspeed to me as a “mechanical miracle.”
