My current G502 which I have been using for more than 2 years has a rusty scroll wheel (am I the only person experiencing this?) and the braided cables are more or less devastated. Emailed my local Logi distributor to see if it's under warranty for the scroll wheel and they haven't replied me in months. Currently the RGB version of the G502 is on sale here but the Mionix Castor and Naos 7000 are also tempting without the braided cable and optical sensor. Should I stick with the G502 or switch over :x 

People die if they are killed.

Stick with what works IMO, if you have never had issues with it i dont see why not just stay with whats comfortable. the 502 is one of the highest rated mice for performance so you dont gain anything other than trying something new which isnt bad but might not end up the way you want.

I would stay with the G502 to be completely honest. I've tried plenty of "legendary" mice like the Razer Naga Hex 2014 and the Death Adder 2014, as well as a few Corsair mice. None of them really stood out to me performance wise. Only thing wrong with my mouse is the braided cable is beginning to fray. Other than that I haven't found a better mouse. I say keep trying with the warranty, I'm pretty sure warranty on the G502 is 2-3 years anyway.

I own and use both the G502 and the Naos 7000, and I prefer using the G502 most of the time, although I do like the pinky support of the Naos 7000 other times. Both are good and it depends a lot on your mood and your personal taste/hands. I sometimes find that my pinky starts to hurt/feel sore with my G502 as I'm stressing it. 

 

The one thing I REALLY miss on the Naos 7000 is hyper scrolling.

I would stay with the G502 if you are happy with your experience with it. I got mine last black friday and am considering getting another as a backup in case this one dies since I love it so much.

g502 is, in my opinion the best mouse on the market, if you have had it before and are happy I don't see why you would anything different
