Logitech G402 or G502?

[Laggger164]

What do you guys think I should get? The G402 costs about 52€ and the G502 Spectrum 65€, the Core costs a bit less.

 

I had 2 really cheap mice, one died and the other one is dying. I need a proper mouse for mainly FPS gaming. I do not want to upgrade to a 4K screen anytime soon, so I dont need the ginormous DPI of the G502. However the extra buttons would be nice.

 

Do you guys think it's worth it?

Get g502 core, the shape is pure orgasm.

[chatter_box]

How about the g403?

I am using g402 but would recommend a 502

Get the g502 and if you can get the rgb ine

402 = lighter = Korean FPS Pro Gamers

502 = everything else, plus it looks like a sperm from Optimus Prime, so that can't be bad at all

The G502 is way too heavy, so the weight is very likely going to bother you if you are playing FPS games with low sensitivity. It's generally a pretty overrated mouse in this forum, so if you don't need the few extra buttons it has and the free-spin scroll wheel (which is very clunky and wobbly thanks to that), get the G402. Not to mention the G402 has a nice rubber coated cable, which is a better option than the braided one on the G502.

[Laggger164]

It's just that both of them are still pretty expensive...

 

I am sure that I wouldn't mind the weight, the extra thumb rest or whatever it is called, would be a plus as well as the buttons. It would also mean that I wouldnt need to upgrade for a LONG time.

 

I want to get a wired gaming mouse and then after a few years maybe a wireless mouse like the MX master. Yes I know it is expensive, but by then I will have the money and use for it.

I now have both. Get the G502. It has more buttons to program to whatever you shall desire, you can add/remove weight, change the weight distribution, and a braided cable, which the G402 doesn't have.

Plus, the G502 has that "free" mouse wheel thingy.

Also, since I do have the G910 cuz YOLO. I think the G502 Proteus Spectrum would be a nice way to complete the set!

 

So almost everyone says the G502 is the better buy. It is expensive tho... (yeah like if the G910 wasn't right?)

as the g402 I ordered just arrived, it is a pretty decent mouse for the first glance, but long and small. I ordered a mionix naos 3200 too, almost a tad better IMHO.

I am the user of the G502 non-rgb version and it fits my large hand easily, i tried the G402 but it a tad small for me

 

as my FPS game Mechwarrior Online needs accuracy, i used all the weights given and set my dpi to the lowest value and mid way for the highest.

 

bind some macro on the side buttons for Ultra Autocannon spamming

Thanks for the tip! I will keep that in mind.

 

Also, does anybody think that it could be good for work? Like video editing, 3D modelling, stuff like that.

 

I dont want to do any of those things frequently. Maybe once or twice a month, but I just want an opinion.

[WildHobbits]

I would go with the 502. It is a great mouse, while I don't use one myself, I have used my friend's and it was great. Also, it is on sale for $60 on Amazon right now.

I use a 502 on my desktop and the 602 on my desktop. For video editing theyre great. Macro some keys that are not binded and off I go. For serious work though, I like the 602 over the 502 because the bulk of the buttons are on the side, but the 502 has a gshift which allows for a second set of macros to be binded to every button on the mouse.

Wait, I have never heard of Gshift. 

That will be pretty cool! Thanks, I didn't know that.

I didn't realize the 502 had it until I saw the toggle in the logitech gaming software. Having a second set of macros immediately available is great as long as you remember what you macroed to the second set. I use it in conjunction with a g710 keyboard and I now have too many available macros. lol

Yes but Doesnt the g502 have adjustable weight distribution and personally i find the braided cable t feel more premium and durable...

Overrated because it works well, like the Razer deathadder

The G502 is way too heavy even without the included weight.

Braided cables are usually much stiffer than rubber cables, have more resistance when rubbing against the mousepad and are prone to kinks. It's a marketing point to manufacturers, nothing else.

Still prefer the g502 with braided cable, anyway finding a mouse is a personnal quest that must done done by thyself
