Based on 1 year's data from Mar 27, 2026 How it works
I had a Logitech G500 for over 10 years. It started doing accidental double clicks regularly, so I had to open it and just bend the micro switch lever back a bit at about 7 years and 9 years. It didn’t actually die, but I moved to and MX Master 3S. I don’t anticipate it will last quite as long since it has a battery, but I’m willing to change that battery, and we will see.
I wish I could. To be fair, I'm a die hard G500 user, but I often swap to the G502 when I need less buttons. The scroll wheel is my least favorite part of the mouse. It's either way too stiff, or way too loose. Uncomfortable to use or so easy to move that I unintentionally scroll all the time.
I prefer the older G500, my is still kicking.
G500 have nice design, but buttons are prone to die soon (also replacements). It was when I move to Razer.
I think i use the g500? It's the Logitech MMO mouse. Use the side buttons or don't, but that's a quality large mouse. I still find myself doing a mini claw when I prefer to palm, but as a large handed fella, we take what we can get
My G500 is still going strong - bought it in 2010 or so. It’s been relegated to my work laptop but that’s only because I wanted a wireless mouse for gaming.
G500, not sure how old it is, at least 10 years and still good. Its never needed charging or anything....
Once I found the perfect fitting mouse for me, I bought a lifetime supply of them. Logitech g500. I still have like 10
Just get a Superlight for $80 on sale rn But that’s coming from me and my mice have literally been G500 (10 years, 2-3 cable replacements) >> G703 Lightspeed (until rotary encoder started acting up) >> G Pro X Superlight
Actually, my original g502 proteus (first edition) wired still works today.after 11-12 years And if works flawlessly too, the cable is a little beat up My 19 year old g500 also still works and looks brand new, but this one been unused for many years
