G502 X Wired Gaming Mouse

the fact that a wired g502x is 70 aud rn and a wireless one is 300 is wild when i can get a keychron m3 for 75 or something more comparable to a g502 from keychron for 110 aud max, and they're amazing mice too, not just cheap garbage. just proves that you pay for the logitech name, i guess.

[Logitech G502 Hero](https://talospc.com/product/logitech-g502-hero-wired-gaming-mouse/) or [Logitech G502 X](https://talospc.com/product/logitech-g502-x-wired-gaming-mouse/). Both excellent, both not too expensive. Had to buy a 502 Hero because I need the extra buttons for macros, best mouse so far. My 402 has 3 buttons double clicking (after 6 or 7 years), and the 203 i got doesn't have the buttons (excellent budget mouse as well).

I don't know you hand size, but I found the G502X to be a bit narrow in the thumb area for me, and the Basilisk to be roomy.

G502X has 3 thumb buttons, 2 LMB side buttons, and 3 wheel buttons. ASUS Chakram X Origin has 4 thumb buttons + 4 joystick buttons on left side + wheel Steelseries Aerox 5 has 5 thumb buttons + wheel

Basilisk v3 Pro is not an ultralight at 106g. I prefer the Bas to the G502X because of the Bas has more thumb area room. Thumb placement on G502X was tighter. The Logi will have longer battery life. I have a Qi puck for the Bas v3 Pro, so I just dock it at the end of the day.

The usual suspects: Basilisk v3 series and G502X series. I prefer the Basilisk for the roomier thumb area. Plus the Basilisk v3 Pro 30K can be found on the cheap these days.

I might be biased, but I never liked MMO mouses for 3 simple reasons : \- Most of them leave no empty space for the thumb \- They're all heavy asf \- I don't need 12 extra buttons on the same side. Even on the sweatiest MMO I find 12 extra mouse buttons to be overkill. The G502X is so much better and more versatile imo. The wired version is about 80g which is among the lightest mouses with that shape. It has 5 extra buttons, or 8 if you count the scroll wheel. The shape is good and while it's not the best for claw grip, it's not the worst either. It has optical switches. And overall it's just a great mouse.

If there's one good point about rpg mouses, it's that they also work well as productivity mouses with all the buttons you can bind to shortcuts. I still think they're too heavy for gaming though. The wired g502x is the heaviest I can go at around 88g when it comes to mouses with a sht ton of extra buttons.

Can't talk about the basilisk v3 since I resold mine after 2 months, but for the g502x the first thing that broke for me was the top button that lock/unlock the wheel. Which is weird cuz it's literally the button I used the least as I never unlock the wheel. Also had some issues with the sensor, but this might be because of dust particles getting through and not the implementation itself.

Most mouses come with 2 extra thumb buttons nowadays, so which one to buy depends on your preference. The shape you like, weight, sensor, price range, etc. If you come from a rpg mouse and still want to keep a few extra buttons, the one I'd always recommend is the g502x. It's a good all rounder mouse, but a bit heavy for fps. If you buy one though, get the wired version ; it's cheaper and lighter (88g). For other similar options, you have the basilisk v3 (101g) or the aerox 5 (75g). Also the model I, but I'd never recommend a glorious mouse given the terrible experience I've had with them

I would go for the G502X wired, since the wireless version is more expensive. It has got some extra buttons that are good for productivity and you get a really nice sensor for gaming too.

I have 3 G502 in my company of friends. My G502 X Lightspeed, G502 X wired and G502 Hero wired - we all love it :)

G502x wired is pretty good, bit bulky but I like the extra buttons. G203 also a great budget mouse, also liked how light my old G203 Prodigy felt which can help if your tracking fast movement on screen.
