If you already own a Logitech G502, you don't have to run right out and pick this one up.

But there's nothing wrong with a slight refinement of an excellent concept. It comes from a long line of excellent gaming mice, produced by one of the premier manufacturers on the market. It's perhaps not shocking that the Logitech G502 X Lightspeed is a great product. Logitech G502 X Lightspeed review: Verdict At 3.6 ounces, the G502 X Lightspeed isn't incredibly light, so esports competitors may not gravitate toward it, though.

Since it has so many programmable buttons, MMO aficionados should be taken care of since those extra buttons are unobtrusive, real-time strategy (RTS) and multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) players shouldn't have any trouble. Normally I'd give some kind of caveat about genres the mouse doesn't handle well here, but I can't think of any offhand. The extra buttons also came in handy without crowding my fingers. Whether I was sprinting through a burning building in Cyberpunk or recruiting a party to tackle a dungeon in FFXIV, the mouse parsed my commands quickly and accurately. In Doom Eternal, it helped me take accurate aim at demons. In Age of Empires, the G502 X Lightspeed helped me whiz around the map, assigning tasks and scoping out enemy positions as I went.

I tested the Logitech G502 X Lightspeed with Age of Empires IV, Doom Eternal, Cyberpunk 2077 and Final Fantasy XIV, and loved the way it handled each game. Logitech G502 X Lightspeed review: Performance Assuming you use the mouse for about eight hours a day, you could get 17 days of use with the lighting turned off, and perhaps 10 days with the lighting turned on. Our testing bore this out on the Lightspeed model, although the Plus model drained the battery quite a bit faster, at least with the RGB lighting turned on. Of more interest is the battery life, which Logitech estimates at 140 hours in the Lightspeed, and 130 hours in the Plus. However, once it's activated, it works fine, and saves you a USB slot in the process. I wasn't thrilled that the option to do so was buried deep within G Hub's general settings menu, rather than on the page for either the mouse or the keyboard. The G502 X Lightspeed dongle also pulls a neat trick, as you can pair it with the mouse and a Logitech G keyboard, such as the Logitech G915, simultaneously.
