Our Verdict
Dell Alienware AW510M
Logitech G502 LIGHTSPEED
The Logitech G502 LIGHTSPEED and the Dell Alienware AW510M are both versatile gaming mice for various genres, but the Logitech has much better overall performance. The Logitech connects wired with its charging cable or wirelessly with its USB receiver. It has a higher maximum CPI range, a more precisely adjustable CPI, a more consistent sensor, and lower click latency. It also has two additional buttons, and you can set a G-Shift button to enable a secondary layer of commands. It also has a scroll wheel that unlocks for free scrolling and has L/R tilt buttons. On the other hand, the Alienware has a pinky rest, which the Logitech lacks.
