Our Verdict

Logitech G502 LIGHTSPEED

Logitech G502 X

The Logitech G502 X and the Logitech G502 LIGHTSPEED are similar mice in the same lineup. The Logitech G502X is a newer, wired-only version, while the G502 LIGHTSPEED is an older wireless model. Additionally, the G502 X has better overall sensor performance and lower click latency and is significantly lighter. On the other hand, the G502 LIGHTSPEED connects wirelessly using a USB receiver and has RGB lighting.
