The Logitech G502 X PLUS is a wireless multi-genre gaming mouse and a continuation of Logitech's G502 lineup. Compared to the previous generation Logitech G502 LIGHTSPEED, this model is lighter and features minor visual changes and performance upgrades, including a greatly extended advertised battery life while RGB lighting effects are off. The overall look is softer and less angular. The feet are much higher quality, and some button locations have been adjusted to be easier to reach. Also, this mouse features new hybrid optical-mechanical switches rather than the mechanical switches used for the left- and right-click buttons on older versions. Logitech indicates these switches are more reliable while still retaining the tactile feel of a mechanical switch.

Several different models of this mouse are available, including a wireless variant without RGB lighting and a wired-only variant.

Our Verdict

0.0
Work 

The Logitech G502 X PLUS is a very good mouse for office and multimedia use. It has a comfortable right-handed shape suitable for most hand sizes and feels very well-built. You can reprogram all buttons using the companion software, and the scroll wheel has both left- and right-tilt inputs as well as a free-scrolling mode. Unfortunately, it lacks Bluetooth support.

Pros
  • Very well-built.
  • Ergonomic right-handed shape.
  • Has a storage compartment for its USB receiver.
  • Scroll wheel has L/R tilt inputs and a free-scrolling mode.
Cons
  • Too large for smaller hands to use comfortably.
  • Bulky; isn't designed to be slipped into laptop bags or cases.

Video Games (FPS) 

The Logitech G502 X PLUS is an excellent mouse for FPS gaming. It feels very well built and has an ergonomic right-handed shape suitable for most hand sizes. Its feet glide smoothly on mousepads and desks, and it has remarkable click latency and overall sensor performance, delivering a snappy, responsive-feeling gaming experience. Its major weakness is its weight, as it's significantly heavier than most dedicated FPS models, which means it's more challenging to make quick movements.

Pros
  • Very well-built.
  • Remarkably low click latency.
  • Ergonomic right-handed shape.
  • Has a storage compartment for its USB receiver.
Cons
  • Too large for smaller hands to use comfortably.
  • Bulky; isn't designed to be slipped into laptop bags or cases.

Video Games (MMO) 

The Logitech G502 X PLUS is an excellent mouse for MMO gaming. It doesn't have as many inputs as a dedicated MMO model, but you can program all of the buttons it does have using the customization software. It feels very sturdy and has an ergonomic right-handed shape well-suited for most hand sizes, and it feels comfortable even for longer play sessions. It also has outstanding sensor performance and click latency, delivering a very responsive in-game experience.

Pros
  • Very well-built.
  • Remarkably low click latency.
  • Ergonomic right-handed shape.
  • Has a storage compartment for its USB receiver.
Cons
  • Not quite as many programmable inputs as a dedicated MMO mouse.
  • Too large for smaller hands to use comfortably.
  • Bulky; isn't designed to be slipped into laptop bags or cases.

    Differences Between Sizes And Variants

    The Logitech G502 X PLUS is available in either a Black or White colorway. We purchased and tested the Black color, and you can see the label for our unit here.

    There are also two other versions of this mouse available, including the Logitech G502 X LIGHTSPEED—which is identical to this version but without RGB lighting—and the Logitech G502 X, which is a wired variant. We expect the two wireless versions to perform very similarly, and we've reviewed the wired Logitech G502 X separately. We've created a table that details the differences between variants in the G502 X lineup below.

    Popular Mouse Comparisons

    The Logitech G502 X PLUS is a continuation of Logitech's G502 multi-genre gaming mouse lineup, which at the time of writing, are some of the most popular gaming mice on the market. With this update, Logitech has adjusted the mouse's appearance, making it more rounded and less aggressive. It now features upgraded feet, more RGB lighting zones, and greatly extended battery life with RGB effects turned off. In a first for Logitech, they've replaced the mechanical left- and right-click buttons with new hybrid optical-mechanical switches. Overall, this is an outstanding choice if you're looking for a high-end, versatile option that's ideal for playing various games in different genres and well-suited to everyday browsing and productivity tasks.
