The Logitech G502 LIGHTSPEED is a rechargeable wireless gaming mouse and the wireless version of the Logitech G502 HERO. It looks almost identical to the wired version, maintaining its large ergonomic shape and angular design. It also features the same set of programmable side buttons, removable bottom weights, and RGB lighting as the G502 HERO. The Logitech G502 LIGHTSPEED is likely better suited for a palm grip due to its shape and thumb rest. However, since its body is very large, smaller hands may have difficulty using it with any grip type. Also, while you can optimize its mass using the included weights, it's still fairly heavy with none attached. On the plus side, it's very versatile as you can use it wired or wirelessly, and it's fully compatible with Windows and macOS.
Our Verdict
The Logitech G502 LIGHTSPEED Wireless is a very good mouse for the office. It has a lot of programmable inputs, feels very well-built, and most importantly, is comfortable to use for long periods. It's great for a palm grip thanks to its rounded shape and thumb rest, though people with smaller hands may have a hard time reaching all the buttons. You can unlock its wheel for infinite scrolling, which is helpful when going through long documents.

The Logitech G502 LIGHTSPEED is a great FPS mouse. It has excellent click latency, a very wide CPI range, and a remarkably consistent sensor. However, it's much heavier than most FPS-focused options available, and it has slightly higher sensor latency than current top-of-the-line gaming mice. On the upside, it has a lot of programmable buttons, and you can set a G-shift button to give you an additional layer of programmable inputs.

- Extremely consistent CPI whether you're moving the mouse slowly or quickly.
- Lots of programmable inputs.

The Logitech G502 LIGHTSPEED and the Razer Basilisk V3 Pro are both wireless multi-genre gaming mice, but the V3 Pro has better gaming performance thanks to its extremely low click latency. The V3 Pro also uses optical switches in the left- and right-click buttons that eliminate double-clicking issues. That said, the performance on the V3 Pro may be overkill for most casual gamers, so the more moderately priced G502 performs comparably well.
The Logitech G502 X PLUS is the successor to the Logitech G502 LIGHTSPEED. The new PLUS is somewhat lighter, has higher-quality mouse feet, and has a greatly extended advertised battery life with its RGB lighting off. It also has better click latency and now features hybrid optical-mechanical switches rather than the standard switches used on the LIGHTSPEED.
The Logitech G502 X and the Logitech G502 LIGHTSPEED are similar mice in the same lineup. The Logitech G502X is a newer, wired-only version, while the G502 LIGHTSPEED is an older wireless model. Additionally, the G502 X has better overall sensor performance and lower click latency and is significantly lighter. On the other hand, the G502 LIGHTSPEED connects wirelessly using a USB receiver and has RGB lighting.
The Logitech G502 HERO is the wired equivalent of the Logitech G502 LIGHTSPEED. You can use the LIGHTSPEED wired or wirelessly with its USB receiver, but it doesn't support Bluetooth, while the HERO is a wired-only mouse. They have the same design and sensor, performing almost identically.
