![]() Obviously, there is supposed to be a very low amount of friction here to allow it to spin freely, but simply moving the mouse rapidly can cause it to start moving. The problem here comes from the combination of the mouse wheel texture and the looseness, for lack of a better word. On the surface, the scroll wheel works identically as it always has, with a button immediately behind it that switches it from regular steps to free-spinning, which is fine. Well, this time around, Logitech has dropped the ball. Unfortunately, we’ve reached the part of the review where we have to talk about the scroll wheel and it’s not good news, folks, which is a proper shame as the G502 line has been known for its dual-mode infinity scroll wheel. A bit depressing that including a spare piece of plastic counts as being conscientious, but that’s how it is these days. ![]() Additionally, the clutch button is removable without tools and Logitech includes a replacement cover if you dislike inadvertently slowing the mouse down. Moving around to the actual buttons, they all feel nicely tactile and well-built. This is crucial for a mouse designed for palm grip users as the grip isn’t usually as tight as other mouse grip styles. They are almost imperceptible but do a good job of keeping the mouse in hand. It’s difficult to tell due to the blatant difference in weight, but you can tell that Logitech has used the same plastics as their superlight mice here, and they feel just as nice on the G502 X Plus.īoth the thumb side and pinky side have a very subtle rubberized texture consisting of tiny diagonal ridges. We can probably thank the Logitech G Pro X Superlight for the low-weight, high-quality build, as we assume some of the engineering innovations were passed down here. The Logitech G502 X Plus has impressed us here, as it somehow feels way more solid than the G502 HERO wireless, while also being 10g lighter. Hopefully someday a company will come along and shift the paradigm of ergonomic gaming mouse design so we can see and feel some more novel shapes, but today isn’t that day. ![]() Honestly, then the name of the game is ergonomics, you can only get so creative with mouse design before you start to impede on the usability, so with that in mind, we’re pleased with the design. We can take or leave the overall change in shape. When comparing the Logitech G502 X Plus to its ancestors, we certainly think it looks better, but this is mostly due to the up-to-date RGB lighting. The extra plastic does give the mouse a more grown-up look and provides an area for the battery indicator LED to live, but the shape was iconic, so we are conflicted. ![]() ![]() This was a hallmark of the G502 design that gave the mouse an animalistic claw-like silhouette. Moving to the front side of the mouse, Logitech has rather perplexingly filled in the gap between the mouse buttons. The crack is filled with white diffuse plastic, through which the RGB shines very vividly, additionally, the RGB lighting is split into 8 zones that allow for myriad fun effects. This crack has a sort of organic alien quality to it and we think it looks awesome. The G502 X Plus now has a ‘crack’ bisecting the palm section and splitting out into two tendrils on the right side. The logo no longer lights up, but you get something better instead. This has now changed, as the Logitech G502 X Plus has been given a healthy amount of RGB on the palm section. ![]()
