This gaming mouse really delivers. It’s responsive, smooth, and feels great in the hand, perfect for both gaming and working! The buttons are snappy and well-placed, and tracking is precise with no noticeable lag. Setup was easy and it works flawlessly right out of the box. Overall, a solid choice that offers excellent performance and comfort without breaking the bank!

There is a ton to like about this mouse from how it fits into your hand, the grip, and the competitive edge for gaming you will begin to notice immediately!1) Daily useNot everything is about gaming, as this only takes up maybe 2-3 hours max of my time a day. The rest goes to programming, studying, etc. So, it is important for me that I have a mouse that I can use which is comfortable, useful, and fits my basic needs. Now, let's compare this to a normal run-of-the-mill mouse since this is probably the biggest competition. Why get this mouse Vs some other cheaper option? Well, for daily use I can list the following pros:- Fits incredibly well around your hand- Many different buttons that can be programmed for different use> Shortcut keys, Forward/back from a page, etc.- Great grip- Change the DPI with different Profiles using Logitech Software2) GamingWhen I am done working for the day, I simply press a button on the mouse and can quickly adjust from study mode to gaming mode. I even have the ability to change the LED lighting to provide verification that the Profile changed successfully. Following pros:- You can change the DPI for each account, and each profile can have an option for many DPI's. The DPI is especially useful for getting the accuracy you need in a mouse. When studying, I can move the mouse very little and move from monitor to monitor (about 1700 DPI), for gaming, I can put the setting at a lower amount (About 800 DPI) and now my accuracy is much better!- The buttons are programmable. This means that for every game you play you can set up the mouse buttons to however you want! Some of these buttons you want to remain the default, like the G9 which changes the profiles, it is up to you though on what you prefer! I personally like having important buttons be G8 and G9, then secondary buttons are the default forward/back. Then I use the target button your thumb rests on as a special (like a grenade wheel or something)- The back-end functionality, such as response time will give you a competitive edge compared to a normal mouse. Now, is this going to be in the 1-3 second range, probably not? With gaming, how quickly your respond to something will play a huge effect on your success as a gamer! Simply being a bit faster means a huge difference between success and failure. (Think if you and the enemy both are competing against each other, who will win? The difference on who wins isn't based 100% on speed, but rather the better strategy, the more powerful weapon, and whoever is in a more superior advantage. Many times, 1-3 seconds makes absolutely no difference, and you simply make a rookie mistake, or the opponent has such a clear opening that you can just punish them for it. Once you make fewer mistakes though, and you become a better gamer, speed really begins to make a huge difference! Simply put, if you and your opponent both have equally great strategies, aren't making rookie mistakes, and know what you are more or less doing, you have both successfully accomplished the basic fundamentals, good for you two! Once you get past fundamentals, the biggest challenges now are getting into placement, having consistency, and being able to get to a location as fast as possible while competing with many others who are doing that exact same thing. If you are doing everything right, and there is a latency issue, then this alone can be the root issue of failure. Again though, not many strategies require a 100% speed advantage. I can think of cases where I have say a 2-3 second gap where the opponent would have to run through a hallway, which in this case having latency wouldn't affect my strategy as much. Now, if I am pushing aggressively, and failure literally means an opponent attacking me before I attack them, or get into a position to dodge damage, then latency is extremely important! So, this is where the competitive edge of this mouse really begins to show.Overall, I am extremely happy with the quality of this mouse and will update in a few months after I have had some more time to break it in!*** Update ***The mouse is durable and has stood the test of time very well! The software setting up the mouse bindings has changed, so I am still getting used to that. Works very well in gaming, and enjoy the ability to transition from work 1,000 dpi and copy/paste, cut, etc., as bindings to gaming with 650 dpi jump, melee, etc.. Definitely good fit for someone with a big palm like myself.

My favorite mouse. I use it for FPS pretty much exclusively. Some doodads I appreciate:- I have small hands but I can still comfortably hold the whole thing in a claw or palm grip. My hand rests mostly on the right side of the mouse, so I would have to switch my hand position if I wanted to use the sniper button. This isn't really a problem for me because I think the sniper button (and switchable DPI in general) encourage bad habits.- I dig the little flared thumb shelf so my thumb isn't dragging on the mousepad and messing with my flow or whatever. I feel like I get a bit better control with the shelf, with my thumb resting on top instead of trying to grip the side. This gives you the most relaxed hand position possible, which (probably) helps you build good habits.- It's reliable and it just works. Before this, I had a Deathadder which started double-clicking less than a year after I got it. I switched to the G502 nearly a decade ago and I've never had issues with double-clicking issues or dead switches in all that time.- The unlocking scroll wheel is great for scrolling through 40 pages of Terms & Conditions in record time.I've just been super happy with this mouse. I think there are newer G502 models at this point but I really dig this one because the design is nearly unchanged after 10 years and I just really like the shape and how this specific one feels. Highly recommended.

There's so many features I like about this mouse such as it can switch from fly wheel to technical, so I can both serious gaming and also have the flywheel to scroll through my research appears really fast. There's weights that come with the mouse so it can have great density and weight. The RGB is nice and it works with signal RGB to both program the 5 side buttons which fit with your hand unlike the corsair mouses and the lights. The mouse even works with voice mod for silly sound effects on a game when I press one of the Side buttons. It is a wired mouse but for my desktop build its more than fine, and the size of the mouse just rests in your hand not too big or small. But the best part of the mouse is how affordable it is, I got this mouse for $40 and its amazing. Here is a list of games where this mouse comes in clutch: Rainbow Six Siege, Roblox, Minecraft, Fallout 4, Cyberpunk, Forza 5, War Thunder, World Of Tanks, Repo and Lock Down Protocol.

I first started buying this mouse type around 2016 and since then it's been my go to model. The problem is that after a while it starts having double clicking issues. Trying to keep it clean helps, but I've yet to find a more permanent solution. Besides that problem starting to occur after some time, it's a great mouse. The RGB lights aren't as bright as I'd like for them to be, but they still stand out and help make a mostly all black mouse be more colorful. The side buttons are especially helpful when it comes to browsing. I'd like to say it's perfect, but it's not. Despite its flaw, it's still my go to mouse.
