Our Verdict
Logitech G502 HERO
ASUS ROG Spatha X
The Logitech G502 HERO and the ASUS ROG Spatha X are both versatile gaming mice for multiple genres, but the Logitech is wired while the ASUS is wireless. The Logitech is much lighter and has a higher maximum CPI. It has a lower minimum lift-off distance, you can set a G-Shift button to enable a secondary layer of commands, and its scroll wheel has L/R tilt buttons and a free-scrolling mode. Also, it has customization software for Windows and macOS, while the ASUS only has software for Windows. On the other hand, the ASUS feels sturdier and, despite being a wireless mouse, has a more flexible charging cable. It also has somewhat lower click latency.
