Introduction:
I will be comparing this mouse mostly to Roccat Kone[+] as it is the only gaming mouse I have ever used. Prior to getting this I have considered Corsair M65 and M95 but settled on the G502 due to price, design (button layout, size) and finishing used.

Price ★★★★★ RM189 :
I rate it 5 star because I got it for RM189 and I came from Roccat Kone[+] which costed me over RM300.

Ergonomics and button layout ★★★★★ :
Again I rate it 5 star because the mouse just suits the size of my hand very well. I would describe my hand to be slightly smaller than average guys but larger than girls with large hands. The Kone[+] was larger on the palm rest area so it actually made long duration of usage uncomfortable. The mouse has a total of n buttons, namely 1 DPI shift, 2 thumb buttons, 2 DPI up/down, left/right click, middle scroll click, left/right scroll click and a middle G9 click (below scroll). The DPI shift and thumb buttons are well located, when pressing them they just give you a satisfying tactile feel that you have pressed them (although I do not know how long to this feel may last). The middle scroll is indeed something new, 2 interchangeable modes. One where the scroll is clicking while another is smooth scrolling. I like smooth scrolling but sadly not all applications we use support smooth scrolling so for now I'm sticking with the clicky scroll.

Build quality / Finishing ★★★★☆ :
For a mouse which costs me RM189, I would rate it 4 stars out of 5. The cable is braided but not like Corsair or Razer keyboard braided quality. The cable itself is quite jumbled up so it may take a little time to straighten it up out of box. The thumb rest area and pinkie rest area are rather thick rubberised, not a coating (I think). So there is no need to worry about the rubber coating coming off. The main body and left/right click however are of cheaper quality of matte finishing. I would've preferred a more luxurious finishing but RM189 is what RM189 is. The middle scroll is metallic and cold to the touch, scrolling has a rather 'heavy' feel like scrolling the volume rocker on Corsair K70 keyboard. The DPI shift button, DPI up/down button, both thumb buttons and the middle G9 button are all glossy finished. It is a good mix. One of the criteria I look for when getting a peripheral is that I prefer it easy to clean

Tracking / Mouse Feet / Sensor ★★★★☆ :
I'm using this mouse mainly at 4500DPI, shifting to 3000DPI when required. Tracking is awesome as I feel it gives me much more control than my Kone[+] most probably due to new mouse feet. I've used both mouse on a newly purchased Razor Sphex. As most users know, max DPI do not translate to best accuracy tracking so for the short week of having been using it, I believe the G502 is giving me excellent tracking at 4500DPI on shooting games and others. Games I play includes CS:GO, Diablo 3, Hitman Absolution, Ghost Recon Phantoms. I'm a lazy person so I do not use the weights at all to increase the weight of the mouse. I'm pretty sure it is a perk for some users. Surface tuning is a pretty neat feature but I have yet to test it out thoroughly as I only have Razor Sphex with me. However on the Roccat Kone[+] it has worked effectively on different surfaces.

Software ★★★☆☆ :
3 stars because in terms of UI design I find the Roccat software easier to use when using it the first time. However functions do not lack. In terms of software functionality and customisability it is almost equal of that Kone[+]. Kone[+] has the ability to adjust lift-up distance(not available on Logitech) and double click speed (although Windows does that too). Both software provides the ability to switch profile automatically according to the game or application you are running. In terms of bling, Kone[+] wins hand down with all the colour led customisability. The Logitech, G, however is pretty annoying but the software has the ability to switch it off.

I guess that concludes my review. If there is anything you would like me to test or try do not hesitate to ask

May I know where you got it for that price? Comfortable using it for long hours considering no weights put in?

PMed you regarding the price. Yes comfortable. I play Diablo 3 like 12 hours a day

Any shops selling or online for this?

id like to know as well

Come share pmpm!

i want g400s with bling bling

tried the g502. it's heavy and a bit too large for my taste, i think i'll pass.


otherwise, great sensor and rm190 is a killer price.

Would like to know where to purchase one as well!

Haha. Nice review man. I think hardcore dotard will like this mouse.

any more user review of the G502? it looks like the perfect mouse to replace my G9X. i hold it thru the box only, good size it seems, hard to estimate but good for my claw grip. and the price is so sweet!

i only trust logitech.

My G400 died from usual cable problems. Sigh. Logitech won't replace it since I bought it from the UK. Haih....

Anyone got suggestion for a replacement? Heard the G502 is more claw than palm. I tried to use one at Midvalley but the so hai boxes has the mouse at an angle so it's tough to get a good feel of the mouse.

yeah the sohai box design. they should cut off the bottom part, let my palm to sit properly on the mouse to test.

It was next to a G500. That one worked just fine, got a nice feel of it. Then I open the G502 and everyone stare at me like I'm a sohai for struggling to get a feel of the stupid thing. Feels very claw-y though.

yeah i love the design of the G502 as i am a claw grip user...i've been really looking high and lo for G9/G9x replacement. I have used G9 and now the G9X, cant find replacement on them since logi decided to discontinue the production. i've worrying much what mouse could i get after my G9X dies, cause razer even though good design, the quality is too subpar and to justify for the price. the rest, i wont even touch the rest. and lately logi comes out with almost all palm grip styled mice, that made me even worrier, and disappointing until G502 comes out. Though I would prefer they just remove the wing thingy on the thumb (you can remove it as it is just a cover, i later found out...hahaha) and the price is a killer!

But since my G9X is still quite strong now, at least I am not that worried I wont have to find another brand of mouse if it dies. Only logitech could survives my torture.

So I guess G502 ain't that great for palm grip eh? Shame. Was half tempted to get it. Hmm... Or maybe I need to hunt for a braided cable for my G400.

Oh, btw, do you know where to find mouse feet for logitech?

Anyone ever had their hands on UE series. Thinking of getting UE3600.

Add Q - on the mouse subject, what constitute as palm grip and claw grip? honestly i'm not even sure. I think im a claw gripper but much prefer the bigger mouse over the "made for claw grip" mouse, and yes i tried a few lot of em (currently using g700s and M950t).

Palm is if you rest your palm on the mouse itself, claw is fingers saja. There's also a hybrid which mixes both. Claw grip tend to prefer lighter smaller mice since it's just your fingers doing the moving, I think.

Side note on my G400 adventure. Opened mouse since Logitech doesn't do international warranty. Wires at the joint are blackened and damaged. Attempted repair but unlikely to do it since I don't have a soldering tool and those wires are tiny. Will probably go look for a new one or a G400S as replacement. Sigh. So sad.

can pm the lobang bro where you buy the mouse for rm189

Haha, no lubang. I pm them and they offered me that price. IdealTech @ Pandan Indah.
