This entire topic is confusing me. Some mod hijacked my tread and put it into this one, the same probably happened to the one you're thinking about.

*buys G502*

*G402 comes out a month later, is $25 cheaper, and is functionally better*

Why Logitech? Just why?

Sorry... I just want to keep making stuff better.

Sorry... I just want to keep making stuff better.

I know. I know. March of progress and all that. Still a bit bummed, but whatever. I'm completely happy with the G502 and my G702+ as products. I just had bad timing when buying the G502 is all. Maybe next time. 

Or I might sell it and buy a G402 in it's place. We will see. :3

You want to make stuff better?

 

Try removing the sniper button, Moving the dpi changing buttons to behind the scroll wheel, changing the LED to an RGB one and lower the price to $50 USD and you'll have a much better mouse. A ring finger and pinky finger rest would be nice too, but that might be a bit much to ask for

 

 

imo the only good thing about the new mice from logitech is the sensor and the shape, Sorry

Thanks for the feedback. We'll take that into consideration for future product development.

Hi,

 

Product manager for Hyperion Fury here to answer some questions and such.

 

As a mostly FPS gamer that uses low sensitivity and hates acceleration, I cannot wait to get hold of this

 

My G500 seems to be a bit flakey, and since every peripheral I own is Logitech I feel like I should keep it in the family so to speak

 

I also plan on doing a review on YouTube as soon as i can get my hands on one!

I disagree wholly with this as there are plenty of mice already like that. Why have a product that is the same as everyone else. Also I personally thing DPI change behind the scroll wheel is the stupidest thing ever because theyre rear impossible to use in game.

@chris_LogitechG I await the G702. You guys exceeded my ideas I had for changes from the G500s and made a stellar mouse but it does no fit the hand like the G700s, which I consider to be a true palm mouse. As I said before im willing to help in any way I can.

I some predictions for the G400s and the G500s they were pretty spot on for the G502 I wont know if the went the other route on the G402 until I have my hands on but I think its a bit different of a direction just from the few pictures ive seen. I remember the predictions but cant seem to find the exact post where I laid it all out. the closest I could find was this one mentioning it.

I dont know if there is anything you can comment on this post that was shortly after the launch of the G502. If there is please do.

Shortly after I got my G602 I actually sent a support ticket in asking a few things and was wondering if yo ucould shed some light on the subject since I just got kinda blown off. It is the the below quote.

 

Why are there only 250dpi adjustments in hardware mode?

Does this mean that when in software mode the software is actually working out the dpi that differ from the ones available in hardware mode?

Can I ask why the 4000dpi sensor from the G400s was not used instead of the 2500dpi one from the G100s?

As far as I can tell all endurance mode does is lower the polling. Is this the case or does it also enable something like the power saver option on the G700 and G700s?

Also why isnt there a predicted battery life in any of your gaming mice in the software like you have on your consumer mice?

EDIT: Also forgot to ask this but I assume that the G400s or something with the original design will always be kept in the product line for those loyal followers or am I wrong?

[TheProfosist]

I hope it comes in more colours!

likely not

Oh my god. Does anyone know when it will be released? I need this for my new build, + it's flippin' only £49.99!

One thing though: Where is the scroll mode button?

It looks to have the same scroll wheel and build as the G602.

Speaking of, it's on an amazing sale on amazon right now, it costs less than the G402 and the G502.

http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/189011-amazon-us-logitech-g602-5550/

Its also a older lower spec'd mouse

must just be me but wireless mice just dont cut the mustard for mein terms of latency and polling rates

How so the G700 and G700s have the exact same specs as a wired mouse and with no noticeable latency. Even the G602 at 500hz is plenty. I mean standard polling rate on usb is 125hz and how long did people play with that?

g502 thats all.

G402 and G502 have the same number of thumb buttons...

I just wish it had 4 thumb buttons like the G602... my thumbs are too short, gets annoying having to shift my palm just to reach them.

G602 has 6 the G700s has 4

I think this will blow it away, although the g400 is my favourite ever mouse shape of all that i have owned and tried (i still have an mx510 and 518)

 

I dont know wether or not to get this, or the 502

If youll use the extra buttons the 502 aqs their bigger and likely easier to hit. It also has a better sensor.

Not sure, my main mice have been the MX510/518 and G500, (also use an MX Nano)

 

Better sensor how?

 

If so, then I will get the 502, price is irrelevant

Button wise the G402 would probably be fine then.

402 has same sensor as 100s and 602 whis is max 2500 dpi this is being interpolated the rest of its range also has a accelerometer to account for highspeeds exceeding tge sensor.

502 goes higher and doesnt need tge accelarometer.

I generally use 800-1000 DPI so that shouldnt be an issue, rarely whip the mouse around either

 

Hmm tough decision

[jmaster299]

doing a build for my friend where i was recommending him the G502 but he didnt like it because of all the buttons. this comes so save the day from him buying a shitty mouse.

You do realize this has just 1 less useable button than the 502, right? The scroll wheel lock is not a useable button on the 502, so the only button you lose between this and the 502 is the DPI Cycling button. They both have 5 side buttons, they are just shaped/sized a little different.

U sir are correct.

Hi,

Product manager for Hyperion Fury here to answer some questions and such.

Hi, Chris. I wondered if the mouse is supposed to be held with both fingers on the right side under the lip like the G502?

If so it would mean my G400s update predictions would be mostly incorrect...

well regardless, they look better for him since they are positioned in such a way where he would not press them without intending to, he is a console gamer, but he's joining us and the G502 looks really hard to use for a newb, too many features

[NationsAnarchy]

Really looking forward to this mouse. Such a catchy name and a cool technology involved into it. Probably waiting for more reviews to come

Hi,

 

Product manager for Hyperion Fury here to answer some questions and such.

 

 

So is this mouse basically supposed to serve as a budget G502 Proteus Core? That's my first impression based on the button config and the price.

Is there anything about this mouse other than the apparent speed of it that makes it worth picking up over another G mouse or a Razer mouse?

 

Because, to be honest, marketing it for speed doesn't mean much to me. I just let my gear sit at 2500 DPI and I play mobas and shooters, so crazy speed doesn't matter much to me.

 

Not trying to sound rude at all, just asking: what about THIS mouse is going to make me drop the $60 on THIS mouse? Would that money be better spent on something with more buttons to map?

[GamerDude]

I have the G502 and I'm pretty darn happy with it, usually, it takes me a while to adjust to a new mouse. It'd take a couple of weeks for me to adjust to the shape and feel of a new mouse, and I usually play UT3 to see what kind of score I'd get. I'm doing about as well as when I use my Roccat Kone XTD or G700s. Surprised actually, at how well I was doing in my games. Only complaint I have about it was the fact that mine needed a firmware update to get it to run nicely (before the update, it'd randomly scroll and I find myself with a different weapon.....resulting in my being fragged).

Well how many mice have more buttons than this one in this price range that you would actually consider buying?

I felt this wqs more due to leaving the scroll wheel on hyper scroll becayse it as so much mass.

Incorrect again. There are all in the exact same position. The one difference is the Sniper button is turned 90 degrees to that it sits closer to your thumb. Not saying the 402 is bad in any way, I actually would have gone with it over the 502 because I don't need the 12,000 DPI sensor, but the buttons between the two are almost exactly the same. The only thing that got repositioned was the DPI indicator. When they turned the Sniper button on its side, they stuck the DPI indicator above it. But the other 4 side buttons are in the exact same spot on both mice.
