Although RGB LED and gaming mice that emphasize grip have been mainstream since a few years ago, many gamers choose and buy gaming mice with “wireless” added here. Gaming and wireless are actually incompatible with each other, but the reason wireless keyboards and wireless mice are popular is that they have lag similar to or higher than that of wired gaming mice, and there is no ” lag” that can occur when signals are lost during games Because the giant is gone. In addition to this, since the battery usage time has also increased, products with AA or AAA batteries inside, which were seen in the first generation wireless mice, have disappeared, and expensive wireless gaming mice with batteries are the mainstream.
■ Why move from AAA batteries to built-in batteries?
The first thing to know is the weight of the external battery. On average, an AA battery is about 11g and a AAA battery is about 22g. That’s a lot of pressure. This weight gain is unsuitable for a gaming mouse. The total weight of the Logitech G502X PLUS mouse is 106g, which is quite light considering the weight of the battery described above. The capacity of the battery included in the G502X PLUS is based on lithium-polymer and has a capacity of 500 mAh. The maximum time that can be used with this battery capacity is 145 hours.
I looked at the specifications of Logitech’s G502X PLUS, and the weight of the internal battery was not stated, but considering that the wired model of this model, the G502X, weighs 89g, the weight of the battery inside the G502X PLUS can be estimated to be around the 17th century.

One USB type A to C, USB type A to C cable, and 2.4GHz channel connection Includes a wireless dongle for Unfortunately, you cannot connect directly via Bluetooth.
▲ The Logitech G502X PLUS wireless gaming mouse is a normal right-handed mouse with asymmetrical left and right sides. The overall detail of the product is finished at a fairly high level, and the biggest difference in appearance from the previous generation product is that the left and right sides of the rubber material with diagonal patterns are placed to improve maintenance and the general grip of the mouse. The sniper button located on the right has a slightly different size and can be replaced with the included button if not used. And the Logitech G502X PLUS product color has been released in two colors, black and white.
▲ The left and right click switches on the top of the mouse are located in a large position and give a light click feel on the top. The switch applied to this side is an opto-mechanical hybrid method called LightForce. It completely solved the double click issue of the previous generation, with a moderate click feel and light sound.
▲ The base of the Logitech G502X PLUS can carry the included receiver, and it is magnetically processed for easy attachment and detachment. There is a switch that can turn the power of the product on or off, and a pad made of Tetron material is located at the bottom of the mouse, which is also a significant improvement from the previous generation product.
▲ The overall appearance of the mouse is asymmetrical with the right side slightly tilted, and the LED indicator is located at the front. This front LED indicator expresses the status of the battery inside the mouse.
▲ The Logitech G502X PLUS can be charged and used in wired mode with the USB Type-C port on the front of the mouse via the included USB-C cable.
▲ The RGB LED applied to the main body is applied in a surface light emission method, and the left and right sides are asymmetrically designed. However, despite being asymmetrical, it expresses the nice silhouette of the overall Logitech mouse well. The Logitech G502X PLUS RGB gaming mouse effect applies to 8 SMD-type RGB LEDs instead of lamp-type RGB LEDs, so the overall brightness is quite good. Apart from that, the difference from other manufacturers’ gaming mice is that there is an interesting effect that colors are applied according to the playing frequency of the gaming sound, so it’s good to try it.
■ Logitech App, G Hub
The biggest advantage of Logitech gaming equipment is that you can evolve it into your own gaming equipment with great precision and reliability. This is the point where setup is possible through high-level hardware and stable software, and this part is the Logitech app, G Hub.
▲ The Logitech G Hub can be downloaded from the Logitech website and supports two operating systems: Apple’s MacBook and Microsoft’s Windows. Of course, it supports Hangeul, and after the initial setup, it correctly displays the color of the mouse you are using.
▲ After selecting the basic polling rate of the mouse sensor, you can select the DPI rate, and you can check the power consumption through the battery details.
▲ On-board memory mode: Through the on-board option, you can save all the values you set in the memory inside the mouse. Up to two settings can be saved, so it is recommended to save after setting according to the game genre you mainly play.
▲ For those who have trouble setting up the mouse, you can download other players’ tuning or preset files from the community menu and apply them directly to your mouse.
■ Logitech G502X PLUS
The Logitech G502X PLUS, presented in today’s article, was a gaming mouse with a high level of completion by correcting most of the problems in the previous generation products and improving them quite well. In particular, it was a mouse wannabe who wanted to get high-end gaming gear in Korea, as if considering that domestic gamers prefer a mouse that is slightly larger than their hand size.
In many ways, this product is based on customization to suit your taste through the G-Hub app, saving the setting in the Logitech cloud or creating storage space in the internal memory, so you can use it on other external computers other than your own computer I was wondering if it would be a complete form of wireless gaming mouse that reflected even the small needs of gamers, such as having the advantage of being able to use the game settings as is.
However, the part that can be physically felt compared to the previous generation product is that there is no part where you can adjust even the weight of the mouse by inserting a weight. From the perspective of those who prefer mouse, can be seen as the biggest disadvantage of this mouse. However, this part seems to have been boldly left out even by Logitech, and the popular “lightweight gaming mouse is preferred.” It seems to be in line with the latest trend.
It does not provide a Bluetooth wireless connection. First of all, other gaming mice that provide wireless in the form of two hybrids can do everything that can be adjusted using 2.4GHz, that is, their own dongle, but when they have u connect by Bluetooth, regardless of the Bluetooth version Because it is fixed at 125Hz polling rate, you cannot fully use a gaming mouse. It means you will use it as a mouse worth using on your laptop. I don’t know if Logitech did this intentionally or unintentionally, but in order to fully use the Logitech G520X PLUS, you must use a wired and included 2.4GHz dongle. Therefore, if you think that not being able to use Bluetooth is a disadvantage, it is better not to choose this product.
Logitech G502X PLUS can be said to be a gaming mouse with so many advantages, and in addition, it should be considered the most expensive gaming mouse. The Logitech G502X PLUS wireless gaming mouse presented in today’s article can be purchased at a price of about 200,000 won even if it is dismissed like this through the Internet and portal sites. This price is a price that can buy a mid-range core i5, Ryzen 5, etc., but investing this amount in a single gaming mouse does not seem easy for ordinary people to be brave.

The Logitech G502X PLUS wireless gaming mouse presented in today’s article can be used in two ways, wired and wireless In order to charge the battery contained inside, it must be connected to a wired connection for some time. If you want to continue using it in wired mode, you need continuous “charging”, and what you need right now is to use “Power Play” which allows you to charge constantly when using the mouse pad. Currently, the price of this product is in the range of 140,000 won. However, if you’re worried about charging and want to “match Logitech” when using all Logitech keyboards and headsets, you might want to consider buying it.
