What makes the Logitech G502 HERO worth the extra $20?

 

And is there a similar mouse for $22 that you'd consider a better option?

In theory, the HERO sensor.

 

 

Corps aren't your friends. "Bottleneck calculators" are BS. Only suckers buy based on brand. It's your PC, do what makes you happy.  If your build meets your needs, you don't need anyone else to "rate" it for you. And talking about being part of a "master race" is cringe. Watch this space for further truths people need to hear.

I own both, and I honestly can't tell the difference. If you're a very skilled FPS gamer, maybe you could, but I'd call it unlikely, and the extra $20 probably isn't worth it.

It would be a bad idea to pick the g502 for a competetive fps game though anyway.

I mean, the 502 is one of the most popular mice in existence so I'm sure there are a lot of people using it for competitive fps games. It may be too heavy to pass muster for an esports professional but for the 99% of people who aren't at that level comfort probably matters more.

Apparently not.

What about for a gamer that plays a wide variety of games and mostly a competitive League of Legends player? I'm almost at 3000 hours over the past 2 years. I'm no professional or anything like that but I play to win and have fun at the same time. And comfort/feel for the mouse I use is important. I'm looking to switch from my Steel Series Rival 3 to either the G502 or a Razer(can't remember which one) that looks/feels similar to the G502. I fiddled with both at Bestbuy and they just felt really good compared to my Steel Series Rival 3. I do like my current mouse but the back/forward buttons are tiny. Not that the back buttons are important for League, I'd just like them to be bigger for when browsing the web.

As long as it's not susceptible to break, I'm fine with it being shitty. When a scroll wheel breaks, scrolling doesn't exist but when it's shitty, scrolling at least exists. I can relate to a shitty scroll wheel though and desiring it to be better. I think I may need to test out the scroll wheel before I buy it because I don't remember it being shitty.

yup. the one on the lightspeed fixed that problem though, mostly, could be better.
