"I even washed them accidentally and still worked perfectly fine afterwards."
"Been using them for about four years working out in my gym, and cycling daily (45+ minutes on a bicycle outdoors)."
"They last absolutely forever (I know 1980s models still in daily use)"

"G502 because it has a button to let the scroll wheel free wheel. That's saying enough"
"The infinite scroll. For long pages, coding, and using so many apps (even 3D modelling, game engines etc). It makes life so much easier. Once you're past the learning curve, you can't go back. It's like scrolling on a phone screen."
"truly the infinite scroll feature is my favorite part"

"I couldn't go back to the G502 now I use all 12 buttons!"
"With the Naga I map the center button on the bottom row to shift. ... And with that I can roll my thumb up, left, or right and get another three keybinds. ... And just having shift there also lets me press that for shift, instead of my left pinky. One less thing for my left hand to do. Makes Shift+4 while moving and jumping easier. ... This gives me ready, instant access to the entire hotbar. And with shift, an entire second hotbar (excepting shift+7 and shift+9)."
"Only the Naga let's me assign shift to one of the middle row buttons, then easily roll my thumb left and right to get shift4 or shift6 from just my thumb."

"battery lasts me forever, I charge it once a week and I game every day."
"Fun60 Ultra TMR is the first wireless magnetic keyboard that does it right — very low latency combined with good battery life makes it actually the one to recommend for those who value portability and hate wires. ... The battery life is very good - I'm using full RGB and used it heavily for at least 8 hrs a day, and it was lasting up to a week. But if you want to max it out, turn off the RGB. It also decreases latency (RGB increases latency). Then it can last even 2 weeks. ... Not only has it significantly extended the battery life, allowing for longer usage between charges, but it has also enhanced the feel and stability of the magnetic switches."
"if you switch off the rgb battery is incredible"

"it's roller would jam horribly with our husky hair to the point that I had to clean out the roller twice a day just to keep up"

"The keys start double pressing after a couple months of moderate use. ... it's basically useless once that starts. ... It just stops functioning as a useful keyboard when the keys start double clicking. ... I've had 4 of the keys go so far."
"After 7-ish, double clicking Nagas"
"I returned the G Pro to Amazon myself after the left button started acting up after three weeks. ... Also I remember a few years ago, Canada Computers had 15-20 open boxes of the G Pro Wired in every store due to mass returns. ... The ghost clicks have been a common issue with all Logitech mice for the past 5-6 years. ... My conclusion is that there is something wrong with the design of the Logitech mice themselves that causes the switches to wear out very quickly."

"GHUB on my G502 is mildly annoying (sometimes I have to alt-tab twice to get it to recognize a game and switch profiles)"
"my biggest gripe is HAVING to use the newer G software, hate it. ... the older one was so much more friendly imo."
"Logitech software is poorly designed."

"I bought g502 x plus but it’s also with same problem and my wrist started to be in pain and today ( used it yesterday, on my way to return it ) I feel like my hand is exhausted… probably because of not possible to rest misddle of my hand…"
"Literally too heavy and causes me wrist pain lmao. ... I bought a 502x as like a "let's see" and it was immediately giving me wrist pain."
"I use a g502 with all weights attached 💀💀 ... I switch between a g502 and a g pro super light and the difference is like running and waddling through water"

Aware_Operation8803 1.0I have the # Logitech G502 X Lightspeed Wireless Gaming Mouse - LIGHTFORCE
Bangreed4 1.0Agreed, I was about to say this. I use the the other buttons heavily so it shows the double clicking issue on mine before even reaching 1 year usage. But on right and left click its flawless so far...
2. Only on right and left click on the other buttons it still have some double clicking but less annoying than the old G502 3. pretty long I already forgot when is the last time I charge and still on 50% charge if I do charge it I just leave it overnight. 4. Been using mine for almost 1 year, its still good. Only problem I have is the double clicking on the other buttons since I use it heavily for work and gaming. 5. I didnt upgrade for warranty sakes, u might need to RMA it or something and they might gave u another mouse instead of fixing it so until it has warranty I avoid doing any modifications on it. 7. just quick wipe and brush, I rarely clean this compare to my old G502

Brilliant-Mix-9773 1.0Is the G502 X Lightspeed base plate swappable? or only the G502 X? Currently I'm leaning mostly to either the G502 X Lightspeed, seeing a lot of mod kits that I like the idea of, or the Glorious Model I.
cocopuffz604 1.01. You can charge it with a potatoe if that potato has usb-c lol. 2. I haven't had any 2x clicking. Thank goodness. 3. It lasts long enough to not notice it needs charging. Which is to say it last a long time and I'm pretty heavy on gaming and general pc work... Maybe I think about it 3/4 of a month in. 4. It's lasted me 3 years so far, held together at the rear button with duct tape...apparently I Crouch a lot. Lol. Still works. 5. I got glass after wearing out the stock pads. I don't see a need in going glass u less you really want to or have to. Stock was nice. 6. I haven't run into the need for grip tape yet. It's wearing out for sure but not so bad I need to replace anything. 7. Just clean it like anything else when it gets grubby. I eat while gaming so yea...it gets oily occasionally but nothing that a damp cloth hasn't cleared up. Keep the USB receiver close, it just helps with reception. I've got under the table but haven't had issues..but my headset practically need line of sight to work. Logitech lightspeed usb receiver is usb 2.0 so no need to use up a 3.0 on it.
CommanderPotash 1.0the only objective measures are durability (how many clicks each button will last) and input delay (ms) Every attribute other than those two is subjective: weight, shape, grip, friction, skates, amount of buttons, etc I personally like wireless, and having a lot of mouse buttons. Wireless mice are (generally) heavier, and more buttons are (generally) also heavier. So, I currently use a G502 X lightspeed, and I dont mind the weight I've never used a light mouse for an extended period of time, though, so i dont know if i would benefit from it or like it
Cry_Aggravating2 1.0In my case, I went from the g502 -> Hero -> Viper8k -> Deathadder V3pro -> Viper V2 pro -> G502 x LS -> Basilisk v3 Pro -> G502 LS. Yes I know some of these are dumb swaps and overall a waste of money. These are across the span of 5 ish years? I swapped g502 because the sensor felt off from what I was used to, turns out that I was tweaking my windows and with most tweaks that come in packs they put reg files that do a bunch to your system and you might not know what they do, they just 'reduce latency' Win32 priority separation is one of them and it turns out that some values affect your mouse movement quite a bit.

CyberpunkLover 1.0Yeah on 65 inch TV the polling rate would look terrible. I tried MX Master 3S, and that one is "premium" tier but still has absolutely garbage 125hz polling rate, and the mouse looked like it was lagging on 34" ultrawide. I've ordered G502 X Lightspeed, it's a big mouse with 1000hz polling rate and decent shape, but it's almost 100$ in most places, so probably won't fit your case if you're looking for budget. Problem is, there are very few "budget" wireless mice that don't suck. So unless you can increase your budget, if I were you I'd just stay on wired stuff unless absolutely necessary. Personally I actually prefer wired, and getting a very good wired mouse is like 3x cheaper than "decent" wireless one. The only reason to use wireless would be either on a laptop, or if PC space is large or unusual, like if you're far away from the system or something. Your case may be different, but yeah, if situation allows, I'd just stay on wired.
d2_ricci 1.0Have two of these mice and use it on two Linux desktops. I use Solaar to monitor battery and change settings and lights.
DaddySanctus 1.0I liked my G502 for the extra buttons in Warframe. There’s the new X variant if you want to stick with it. I’m currently using a Viper V3 Pro as my main and absolutely love it. I do wish it had an extra thumb button though.
A G502 at like 50-60g in weight would be absolutely amazing.
Viper V3 Pro for FPS. G502 for RTS / RPG games. I want to get the Hitscan Hyperlight and give that a go next.
G502X - Has your standard thumb buttons + a sniper thumb button and two additional buttons to the left your M1 for your index finger.

davidnjoy1 1.0Yeah I had the g502 lightspeed when it came out and it didn't last 6 months. The left click stopped working suddenly. Then I bought the x. It's been a year and it's working great. No issues at all. I think the non x version has some problems with the quality.
