logitech g502 hero

Should I switch to logitech g502 hero from Viper mini? I love bigger size. But little bit worried about the weight and also the longevity of the switch.

I would say no personally.

Please share the opinion (reason). Probably I will be benefited.

It is quite heavy so it will feel like a brick in your hand compared to the viper mini. 

 

61g vs 121g. IF you want something larger than the viper mini then look at something like maybe a Glorious Model O/D, Mountain Makalu, Steel Series Prime.

If there are no fake replacement parts for sale? e-waste regardless of how minor/easy to fix the issue would be with parts

Isn't this pretty much all products / manufacturers?  Generally what goes wrong with these is the switches, and they use the same switches as most manufacturers. You can get real Omron switches, no need for fake ones? Or swap them out for another brand if you want. As for other parts I bought a parts one off eBay a while back to repair my son's, not ideal, but worked. (This was only needed due to physical damage)

 

For a mouse that can be routinely found for around $30-35 USD it's pretty decent. It's fairly easy to repair. So not to bad of a deal I think. Is there some other manufacturer I'm missing that actually sells parts openly for peripherals?

I want to replace/jump out from viper mini because of its scroll-wheel problem. As the dust accumulate in it and start misfunctioning. I already once give my viper mini to warranty and they replace the mouse (cannot repair themselves). That's why thinking about alternative (G502). There are not a whole lot of renown brands available in my country. Mostly imported by third-party sellers who charge far-more then the actual cost of the products.

 

Really like the shape of G502, its on sale for just $60 equivalent according to my currency.
