Give me ONE reason NOT to upgrade - Logitech G502 Lightspeed Review #Helpful Post

the original g502 proteus core from 2014

was RGB if I'd in 2016 and then got an

upgrade to Logitech's hero sensor in

2018 but through all that time and

certainly since the debut of the G 903

Lightspeed in 2017 g502 fans have been

wondering when logitech would finally

cut the cord on their favorite Mouse and

now that it's here there's really only

one question has Logitech left us any

reason not to go wireless

actually two questions is there any

reason not to check out our sponsor

cable ma just opened up a new factory

and they now guarantee delivery in under

two weeks get 15% off with offer code

may fifteenth before the 27th of May at

the link below

traditionally there have been three main

reasons not to get a wireless mouse so

let's start with the big one

latency does the new wireless g502

introduce any extra delay between moving

the mouse and seeing the response on the

screen that is beyond what you'd get

with the wired version because even a

wire does have some latency now

answering this question is a little

tough for us because we don't have a

warehouse full of the necessary

scientific equipment to quantitatively

measure Mouse latency to the degree that

we'd like what we can test however is

whether or not the average gamer will be

able to tell the difference so we

unleashed our fiercest keyboard warriors

on a high performance gaming rig

outfitted with one wired g502 hero and

one wireless g502 light speed that had

been mocked up to appear wired both of

our mice were configured to the same DPI

and our subjects were instructed to

focus on just one variable latency oh

god that was embarrassing

blame the mouse mouse is the mouse okay

so we have it here on a Lightspeed oh

they're all here over this one for sure

no I wouldn't be able to tell the

difference if you told me they were the

same Mouse I would believe you and I'm

pretty sure even if we had like a 240

Hertz display I would not be able to

tell the difference all right just for

some reason just something about it just

shows nicer to me if you had to guess

which ones which would you we're just

guess like flipping a coin yeah what if

they would have been paired guess I

don't I wouldn't have been able to tell

the difference if I was gonna make a

call I guess it would have to be this

one so that's the wireless mouse oh

that's a wireless mouse and this is the

wired one so then considering these test

results the tournament winning pro

gamers who use logitech wireless mice

and the more quantitative demos that

we've seen from logitech themselves in

the past we're convinced that there is

in fact merit to logitech's claims that

light speeds end-to-end optimized 2.4

gigahertz connection is

indistinguishable from a wired

connection so let's move on because

latency

isn't everything another demerit against

most wireless mice is weight a wireless

mouse is required to carry an onboard

battery making it heavier than its wired

counterpart it's sort of by definition

so if the g502 hero a mouse with the

same shape size buttons and sensor tips

the scales at 121 grams already then how

much would we expect the Lightspeed

version to a now you might think that

that's a trick question and you're

expecting me to tell you haha

it's the same weight but no Logitech has

actually done us one better managing to

make the wireless version seven grams

lighter than its wired predecessors and

this is while still managing up to sixty

hours of gameplay on a single charge of

its quick charging lithium-ion battery

furthermore its power play compatible so

if you get the wireless charging

mousepad you'll never have to think

about charging at all

so then how did they do that turns out

with great difficulty seakeeping the

exact same exterior while redesigning

all of the internals is likely the main

reason that fans had to wait this long

for this mouse because despite their

near identical look apparently the only

component that wasn't altered in some

way was actually the slippy skates on

the bottom of the mouse so while a

typical Mouse gets its structural

integrity from the outer shell this ones

walls had to be cut down to just one

point two millimeters thick so then to

maintain its rigidity logitech used a

lightweight internal endoskeleton this

is a similar design to what they use on

the g pro Wireless then again borrowing

from the G Pro Wireless they added very

subtle but appreciated mechanical spring

button tensioning to the left and right

clicks removing pre-travel and helping

the button recover from a click faster

and with more precision and even like

this is crazy even the scroll wheel was

altered it's lighter but its

manages to feel the same so like yeah

there's a there's a gap there's a cap in

the middle so alright wait and latency

aren't on issues but what about the

third and final Wireless woh price well

unfortunately this is the g502 light

speeds gotcha moment because like the ji

903 and the G Pro Wireless this puppy is

a hundred and fifty US dollars nearly

double the price of its wired cousin

which raises an important question if

you're going to spend that much then is

this the mouse that you want and that

really depends because the thing is for

many gamers even the new g502 with its

seven grams of weight shed is still way

too heavy popular gaming mice from

competitors like final mouse are much

lighter along with being much cheaper

and Logitech themselves has the G Pro

Wireless which is the same price but

only 80 grams with that said if you love

the shape of the g502 you need eleven

programmable buttons and you can't live

without a hyper fast scroll wheel then

this could be the last Mouse that you

ever buy and who knows maybe you can

recoup some of the cost by selling the

wired version that you're probably

already using

speaking of already using if you're not

already using ting then go check them
