Logitech G502 X Lightspeed Review: No lights, same price

Logitech's G502 X Lightspeed gaming mouse is a right-handed model that has been around since 2022. It was recently updated with a firmware upgrade that boosts its sensor from Hero 25K to Hero 44K. The mouse retails for $159.99, the same price as the G502 X Plus. It features a large, ergonomic design with large primary mouse buttons, textured side panels, and a glossy matte finish.

The mouse has no lighting, only a small indicator light to show connection and battery life. It weighs 3.6 ounces (102g) and is larger than some other gaming mice, such as the Razer Basilisk V3 Pro and V4 Pro. The G502 X Lightspeed has 11 programmable buttons, including a sniper button that can be deleted. It also has a 4-way scroll wheel with three programmable buttons and a mechanical scroll wheel switch.

The mouse uses Logitech's HERO 25K optical sensor, which has a max resolution of 25,600 DPI and can handle up to 40 G of force. It supports a polling rate of up to 1,000 Hz. The mouse ships with a 6-foot USB-C-to-USB-A cable, a USB-A dongle, a USB-C converter, and a sniper button delete cover. Upon review, the mouse's sensor performs well across various surfaces and offers good speed, sensitivity, and accuracy.

The primary buttons have a tactile click and a crisp sound, while the side buttons also produce a satisfying click. The dual-mode tilt wheel features a mechanical switch and allows for notched, tactile scroll or smooth, speedy free-scroll modes.
