Mine is the G502 Proteus Spectrum from 2018

I use a 144hz screen, I have a G502 and an MX3s. Honestly yeah the G502 is more responsive, but the MX3s is way more comfortable. I just switch between them depending on what I need to do.

Yep, got 3 of them and none of them have had any issues so far, going strong for 5+ years on all of them. After a terrible experience with SteelSeries mice, this one was a revelation.

Lightspeed? No idea what that means, mine is a G502 Proteus Core. just kidding, my G502 is from the first G502 series (2014ish) and still going strong. The perfect mouse for me.

Yeah, I've had the G502 Proteus Spectrum, the G502 Hero (because I broke the Spectrum) and now G502X Lightspeed and damn do I love this thing.

It’s kinda random compared to his remaining collection - that’s what I meant. Personally I’m still on my Proteus Spectrum after almost 10 years, stock except skates, never had issue with clicks or buttons. Never had problems with GHub as well and love its features.

If it helps you with your decision I went from straight up palm gripping the old g502 Proteus core with all the weights in it, to the g903 Proteus spectrum, to the g502 hero, then the g703, keychron m4, Darmoshark m5 air, hsk pro, and finally am currently using the Fenrir Asym 99% of the time, every now and then I switch and use the Darmoshark m5 air because I think it looks bad ass, but the Fenrir asym fits me like a glove

I went from G502 to G903>g703>g pro super light> G wolves hsk plus lite>keychron m4> Darmoshark M5 air> now currently using the G-Wolves Fenrir asym, for my medium sized hands this mouse is absolutely divine. I still use the m5 air from time to time but the Fenrir is like a glove I've been missing my whole life, I highly recommend the keychron m4 as a budget gateway into fingertip mice

My G502 Proteus Spectrum died the other day after 8 years. Had the G400 for a few years before that. Now upgrading to the G502 X Plus Wireless, hoping quality is still as durable 😅

Not sure what your role it, but if you have an office role, I highly recommend Logitech MX Master 3!!!! I use this for work and go back to my trusty G502 wired for home/gaming/everything else.

Oh yeah? Well, your 5yr old g502 is shitty compared to my 10 year old g502. ![gif](giphy|CAYVZA5NRb529kKQUc|downsized)
