Whatever the G502 has is plenty for me and none of my errors are due to the mouse.

I'm using the razer mamba tournament edition. Love it. People seem to have tracking issues with it. I have had none so far.

There you go. The only difference that I know of is how they "see". One uses IR and the other uses visible light.

I love it and have the new RGB on hand for when the original G502 dies. If your mouse isn't giving you issues, stick with it.

Oh come on. It's 12 years old, generously updated, and stable as all hell. Don't run away from a game 'cause the engine's a little old.

The G502, in my opinion and many others, is the best gaming mouse on the market.

Like @ARikozuM said, though, if your current mouse is working fine, well... I mean, you don't have to upgrade.

"Do as I say, not as I do."

-Because you actually care if it makes sense.
