Our Verdict

Logitech G502 HERO

Corsair Nightsword RGB

The Corsair Nightsword RGB and the Logitech G502 HERO are two very similar-looking mice, but the Logitech is better. The Logitech has wheel tilt for more inputs, a more stable and consistent sensor, and its lift-off distance is shorter. However, the Corsair's CPI can adjust much more precisely.

    So how much is Logitech paying you to lie? It’s absolutely obvious that you have a bias and a favor towards Logitech by how you described certain features like the looks. I have owned both and the Corsair Nightwave far outperforms the Logitech and is even more aesthetically pleasing and easier to use. The programming is also easier and the Nightwave is more durable and just all around superior. I’d give the Logitech a 6.5 and the Corsair an 8.5 when it comes to gaming mice. Try not to become a corporate boot licker. Next time give an unbiased, data driven and user generated review rather than posting something based off of your paycheck from Logitech. :/
