That’s why both gaming mice are not only the same on the outside, but also on the inside: the ergonomic design is still suitable for all grip styles, as long as your hands are not larger than average. In terms of sensor, number of keys, lighting and other features (such as the switchable mouse wheel), everything remains the same. Here, too, we continue to notice a somewhat wobbly mouse wheel, which you can hear especially when changing direction quickly or when shaking the mouse. But not so wild, because most of the mouse wheels that can be tilted to the side share this unsightly side effect.

Strictly speaking, the Logitech G502 Lightspeed is a model variant of the Logitech G502 Hero.

If you want more details, then we recommend our review of the Logitech G502 Hero. Only the weight has dropped a bit despite the integrated battery, namely from 121 to 114 grams. However, the weight can be increased by up to 16 grams if necessary, since the manufacturer supplies six small weights.

Stable and fast Lightspeed radio connection

The Logitech G502 Lightspeed relies on the eponymous wireless technology for the system connection, which is based on 2.4 GHz radio and communicates via a USB nano dongle. The latter even stows away in the bottom of the mouse itself, which we always find very useful.

The USB dongle even stores in the bottom of the mouse itself, which we always find very useful.

Thanks to Lightspeed, the polling rate is still 1,000 hertz. This corresponds to a response time of one millisecond – which is the usual and absolutely sufficient latency for gaming. In any case, we can’t detect any lags or other connection issues during our tests. All inputs and changes of direction were implemented in real time, there was no difference to wired operation.

The integrated battery of the Logitech G502 Lightspeed enables a runtime of around 40 hours with the RGB lighting switched on, and with the LEDs switched off it is significantly more at over 55 hours.
