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.
