G502

LOGITECH $35

The Logitech G502 Proteus Spectrum is a 121g monster (that’s with its weights removed and not counting the cable), and slightly longer than the Deathadder. It’s an update of Logitech’s classic MX 518 and G500 mice, with a fantastic 12,000DPI sensor. It’s a cozy palm grip shape that’s stood the test of time and it has some premium build touches, like its weighted metal scroll wheel, which has a super satisfying notched scroll and an option to switch to a free-spinning mode.

Due to the design and button placement, the G502 isn’t as great an all-rounder as the Deathadder. A couple of buttons by the left-click are awkwardly placed and prone to misclicks. But for gamers who love a heavy mouse, the Logitech G502 Proteus Spectrum is the one to get. It’s great value, and continues to be a popular model for Logitech. So much so that the company has updated the G502 with its new top-end Hero sensor in a new model, the G502 Hero. Get that if you want the top-ofthe-line in mice sensors—but you’re likely not going to notice the difference, so the Proteus Spectrum is still a good option.
