A claw grip works well enough, but deeper grooves and a softer rubber finish would offer a more trustworthy hold.Ī compartment on the bottom pops open, allowing the addition of up to five 3.6g weights that can give the G502 Hero a nice heft. It’s a bit on the thin side, and the side grips don’t offer much traction. The G502 Hero isn’t the most comfortable for larger hands. We keep them set to DPI switches, and the forward most one is easy enough to accidentally hit and feel the whiplash of a suddenly much faster mouse. Some people may struggle with the two buttons on the left of the primary mouse button. The three thumb buttons are easy to distinguish by feel, well within reach, but hard to misclick. By default, the DPI indicators don’t stay lit though.įor the most part, button placement is good.

Both lighting zones are smartly placed so they’re visible between your thumb and index finger when holding the mouse. The G502 Hero features customizable RGB lighting for the DPI indicators and Logitech G logo. The two buttons to the left of the primary click also oddly hang over the edge and feel as though they could snap off easily. Though the G502’s overall build quality feels sturdy, all the hard angles almost make it seem like this mouse could draw blood. Terms of service and other long documents have never been easier to not read. Toggling the mouse for infinite scrolling lets the wheel spin so freely that a good flick can keep it spinning for over 10 seconds. A button just behind the scroll wheel toggles the notched scrolling, and it’s a real delight with pronounced clicks. The scroll wheel is shiny, metallic and neatly notched. The matte plastic does a good job of hiding hand grease, but the glossy plastic fares worse. The build combines matte black plastic for the primary buttons and grips, and puts glossy plastic between the mouse’s aesthetically different sections and on the extra buttons.
