THOUGHT ABOUT THE DESIGN AND FEATURES

The shape feels similar to G500 , with an empty load its feel VERY LIGHTWEIGHT , seriously its very lightweight , this is a problem to me because because myself is a heavyweight mouse user , that’s when the weight balancing come handy for user like me . :-)

There is 3 type of common grip style when using a gaming mouse , Palm Grip , Finger Grip , and Claw Grip . By the shape and design of Logitech G502 this mouse is suitable for user that are using Palm Grip and Claw Grip .

Tunable , you can tune your mouse tracking sensor with Logitech Gaming Software to match your mouse surface preference . I personally like this feature because the tracking on my mousepad really does improved after i tuned it .

The cord is braided, and very flexible , braided cable is a must for gaming mouse but at the same time it must be very flexible also, which is Logitech G502 have met both of the criteria . :-)

Mouse scroll is also very important , when you browsing facebook home news feed you want go through all the news quickly , just one click on the mouse you will have a hyperfast-scroll . :-)

11 programmable button , if you ask me what to do with all this button , well i also don’t know what to do with them , usually i just bind G5 and G4 button for grenade throwing and kits in BF4 . it might be useful for those who play RPG games that have a lot of skills and bind them to the mouse for quick use .

12000 DPI woah does anyone in the world actually gaming with 12000 DPI ? , my self personally wont go any further 3500 DPI when in gaming mode , but when in desktop mode i will switch my DPI to 8000.

Price is around RM230 at ALL IT Lowyat this is the best mouse you want to buy if you looking for a great gaming mouse with great performance and great sensor , before i was using Corsair M60 mouse and after i switch to this mouse , i can feel the different with the quality of sensor with Logitech G502 .

  • There’s one gripe though, the two mouse feet at the middle can easily tear off if you use it on a non smooth surface. But otherwise this mouse is perfecto.
