"Binding keys and actions to my G502 is what made the entry to MnK gaming much more accessible and manageable for me. ... If I had to stick my finger out any further than the V key or towards the numbers row when I made the switch from console to PC, I would've had a lot more trouble getting into it"
"on board memory to change Keybinds for different games"

"But every freakin mouse gets double click issues."

"For Logitech it was double clicks."
05-nery 1.0I have the g502 hero and it's really good
14N_B 1.0g502 hero is really nice, my only complaint is that despite having it practically always closed, my weights ended up rusting, but I continue to use it without any problem
240hzghost 1.0You will also feel a difference once you remove all the weights from your G502 Check these out: * [Razer Cobra](https://www.amazon.co.uk/Razer-Cobra-Lightweight-Underglow-Adjustments/dp/B0C5XNRVWM/ref=sr_1_6?sr=8-6) * [Logitech G305 Lightspeed Wireless](https://www.amazon.co.uk/Logitech-Wireless-Lightweight-Programmable-compatible/dp/B07CGPZ3ZQ/ref=sr_1_5?sr=8-5)
You can go for the Razer Cobra. I started using the G502 in 2016, and it stopped working in 2022. After that, I switched to the Razer Basilisk V3, but it stopped working last month. Now I’m back to using the G502, though I’m planning to switch to the PRO X Superlight 2 DEX Wireless.
2ChaoticNeutral4U 1.0I use wasd for movement. I press 1-5 with my fingers. 6-0 is on my mouse, I have a Logitech G502 Hero I bought solely for playing this game. I have action camera bound to q, special ability to e (it used to be - and I'm not reaching that far to press it), f is for interaction, right shift for dodge, x for mounting. I main a Reaper so I just have to reach for F1 for shroud. All the keys I need are around wasd or within reach of my left hand, and I do not touch the keyboard with my right hand. I'm middle aged and have been playing on computers with keyboards and mice since I was a kid, so muscle memory is strong. I struggled when I was a teenager to switch from cursor keys to wasd, but it's now normal.
4Iessandro 1.0I recently changed my 6yo g502 hero for the g502 x, little improvements but the soul it's the same, I can't use othe mouses, I always use the infinite scroll and I like that shape. For the older one I just have to complain that the switch can miss clicks after some years but maybe it's just normal use, the x versions has optical ones, also the lightspeed?
AcceptableBear9771 1.0I retired my G502 HERO a few month ago after years of service. Got a new one without even remotely thinking about it. It's such a good mouse for its price!
achristian103 1.0G502 Hero is the choice here as others have mentioned
Adnaoc 1.0Logitech g502 hero, the best mouse I ever use.
advacardo 1.0You'll be fine with a regular mouse. It's MMOs like ESO where side buttons are useful. I have a Logitech g502 hero and that works well for all my MMOs. Also it has an unlockable scroll wheel which is very nice
akmarksman 1.0I loved my G502 Hero until it died. Put a lot of hours in War Thunder and other games because of it. Replaced it with a G203 Lightsync because it's cheap and effective, I do miss the scroll wheel unlock though. My cousin didn't know about it and he had the 502 Hero about 2 months longer than I did, I'd randomly unlock it whenever I visited his house.
