Gamers worldwide love the G502 gaming mouse from Logitech G, and it’s easy to see why. Not only does it deliver exceptional performance and skill-enhancing features at an affordable price, it also looks absolutely stunning, too, selling a record number of units since it went on sale four years ago.
Four years is a long time in technology, though. Now Logitech G has just delivered a seriously upgraded new G502 HERO, featuring the original iconic looks but beefed up with some serious technology designed to give you all the performance that gaming professionals expect.
Hold Out for a Hero
At the heart of the updated G502 is Logitech G's HERO 16K sensor, developed for pro gaming mice. It's a significant improvement over the previous G502 sensor. That was no slouch, going up to 12,000 DPI and 300 IPS, but the HERO 16K takes things to the next level with 16,000 DPI and 400 IPS with zero-smoothing.
Of course, you don’t need such a ludicrous amount of sensitivity all the time. That's why the G502 features a handy DPI Shift button that enables you to adjust its DPI in-game without missing a beat. For those moments when you need rock-solid precision aiming, simply hold down G502's DPI Shift button to dial the sensitivity right down and nail those vital headshots every single time, which can be customized to your preference via the software.
All You Need to Win
Thanks to its HERO 16K sensor and smart design, the G502 gives you an uncanny level of responsiveness, brilliantly and reliably capturing your every single swipe and gesture and reproducing them on-screen. Plus, it gives you everything you need to win, right at your fingertips.
If you like having a lot of buttons then the G502 HERO is for built for you. It features 11 buttons, all programmable so that you can set all your games up with your own custom commands and macros using Logitech Gaming Software (LGS).
If you ever find yourself at a tournament without access to LGS, that's not a problem. The G502 HERO has onboard memory with room for up to five profiles, so you can take your custom controls—not to mention settings for LIGHTSYNC RGB lighting—with you wherever you go.
Of course, what really matters to most gamers, button-wise, is the two main buttons, and the ones in the G502 HERO are built to deliver. They're tested to 50 million clicks, so you can be certain that however long you play for they'll continue to perform for you right along the line. And the same goes for the G502's dual-mode scroll wheel, which gives you enhanced click-to-click precision for gaming.
Maximum Comfort
On top of its cutting-edge performance, the G502 has been designed to handle well even during marathon gaming sessions. If you're concerned about weight and balance, you'll find that it comes with five optional 3.6g weights that you can distribute around its body until it feels absolutely right in your hand.
It also comes with rubber side grips to ensure you can always keep a tight hold of it, even when things get frantic and the adrenaline is really starting to flow. And if you've ever had a game ruined by your mouse cable getting unexpectedly snagged against something, you can rest easy. The G502 HERO braided cable will shrug off any desktop obstacles, and as an added bonus it won't get irretrievably tangled up when you sling it in a bag to take to your next gaming get-together.
The Bottom Line
The world's favorite gaming mouse has just become even more powerful. The new G502 HERO is an essential addition to your gaming arsenal, and it's available now for the same sweet price as the previous model. Order it today from Logitech G and bump up your gaming prowess before your opponents do.
