The Logitech G502 X continues Logitech's G502 lineup of multi-genre gaming mice. The G502 X is a wired-only model that features a few visual changes and performance upgrades from the previous generation Logitech G502 HERO. Notably, this new model's aesthetic is much softer and rounded, and the buttons have been placed in more accessible locations. It features new optical switches instead of the mechanical switches on previous models. These new optical switches attempt to provide similar tactile feedback to mechanical switches but have improved durability and aren't prone to developing double-clicking issues. Additionally, this mouse is significantly lighter than the previous versions due to a thinner chassis and a lighter scroll wheel and has improved feet for a better gliding experience.
Logitech has also released two related wireless models of this mouse called the Logitech G502 X LIGHTSPEED and the Logitech G502 X PLUS. For more details, see the Differences Between Sizes and Variants section below.
