Rival 3 Wireless

How does the g502 compare to the g305 L? I didn't like the g305 and prefer the SteelSeries Rival 3 W, but maybe the g502 is a serious upgrade?

You hear a lot about Logitech mice but I didn't really like my G305 Lightspeed. Buttons felt like they had far too much travel and far too little resistance. I found myself hitting them when I didn't intend to and when I did want to hit them, sometimes I didn't press deep enough and it wouldn't click. Just my experience, maybe I bought the wrong Logitech mouse 🤷‍♂️ I've had plenty of mice in my hand, granted only a couple gaming mice, and I can't say I've liked the feel of any besides the SteelSeries Rival 3 Wireless. It doesn't feel perfect, and I'm still looking for something that does feel perfect, but until I find an option around this price point, I'm going to keep buying these. I drove my first one straight into the grave with an absurd amount of hours. Straight-up unemployed type hours. I'm now on my second and I still like it. It works, it's cheap, and the software is functional 🤷‍♂️ Can't ask for much more than that imo Edit: Fun fact, I actually use an Elite Series 2 in my left hand for movement, instead of a keyboard lol. (No I don't get assist)

I've tried a lot of mice, and I mostly stick with a Steelseries Rival (version doesnt really matter, as I'll explain in a moment) since I like the shape, they're light enough, and they're cheap as hell. (A wireless v3 is literally 35 bucks: https://steelseries.com/gaming-mice/rival-3?srsltid=AfmBOorw8W07l-lwIpDgqB2ZPC3AqWByfLdRegrBHMc2lKV0abVgA0lj ) When you buy a mouse, you're basically looking at only a few things: weight, shape, sensor, and wireless/wired. Sensors have been "solved" for a long while now. You're going to be hard pressed to find a sensor in a mouse from a major manufacturer that isn't functionally perfect at the speeds an actual human arm can whip it around. And wired/wireless is kind of a checkbox, as latency issues there are also basically solved across the board. So really you're almost entirely looking at shape/weight, which is a personal preference thing. Go find a store that sells a bunch and put your hand on them.

Besides the issues listed, I do like the Rival 3W. It could be taller, as my hand is decently big (idk measurements) but I am also not that bothered by it. I really, REALLY hate the Steelseries GG driver app and its shovel/spyware, but I have heard that the grass is not any greener elsewhere. I really don't care about branding at all, but when I look online I see 1,000 Chinese brands with 12 reviews and names I cant pronounce along side Razer, Corsair etc. Battery life is not a problem if the mouse is USB-C compatible, I just hate burning through 18 packs of AAA every few months. When it comes to mice, I am a huge normie. I am not good enough competitively at any game to care about a lot of features, except polling rate which should not be <1,000hz.

anything under 90 grams is perfectly fine unless you pure fingertip. shape matters but you don’t need a “perfect” shape, if it’s not uncomfortable you have no excuse to aim like shit literally anything post 3310 is perfectly fine, 1khz is perfectly fine, if you say you feel a huge difference you ARE schitzo lamzu thorn user btw swapped back to a rival 3 wireless recently and my aim was at the same level a couple of hours later.

Had a steelseries rival 3 wireless, it was crap and disappointing. I regret buying it.
