You won't regret it.
Just got my G502 and regretted.. LMAO.. nah just kidding.
First impression, yes, it's quite a heavy mouse, much heavier than my MX518 with added weight, but darn I like it, I just plugged it right now and use the 2nd step on the DPI switch, speed is good and precise, just as advertised.
I have yet to test on my gaming rig's mat, now only using cheapo RM5 mouse mat at office, which is already feels quite good, due to the small surface, I can't move really much.
Default scroll wheel is free-spin, smooth spin, and no friction at all, so a little tap and it'll spin for few seconds before it stop, if I go full swing, it'll spin more than 15 seconds, not going to use that much.
But once you turn to stepped scroll mode, instantly you'll feel the weight, of which require much more force than normal scroll wheel on my both MX518, M305 and the cheap-o M100r, by far the most resistant scroll wheel that I ever used but the stepping noise is not very obvious in office environment, will test it at my desk at night to see if the noise is louder than normal scroll wheel.
So, I did talk a bit much on the scroll wheel
, the scroll wheel is well, my first feel on a heavy scroll wheel, a nice touch to normal rubberized scroll wheel.
Next is the extra buttons, as a mostly claw grip (while gaming) user, I'm very comfortable with the position of the "sniper" button, also the DPI switch buttons as well, though I have to test it on my fast pace FPS title yet. Palm grip for web surfing is a breeze, forward and back button is easy to reach, and only needs little bit of force to actuate it. Most buttons followed the same old for its flagship, I guess I have already got used to the position.
Overall mouse feel is great, the rubber side grip is a nice touch, not too annoying. Added all the weight makes the mouse feels a bit dodgy but it's probably I'm not used to the weight yet, will switch back to its original weight, feels much natural...
Will update again (probably not tonight) for in-depth impression (not review sorry).
More impression update:
Now at home, connected to my KVM mice console port, 1 word... "failed", aww that's sucks, but luckily I have 2 extra USB 1.1 hub ports that can works with my mice, so for those who're using KVM, keep this in mind that it may not work on your KVM console port, so you have to get KVM which has USB hub and it works wonderfully after connect to the USB hub.
When I do a bit swing test, notice the mice's front part is much heavier than the back, thought this may be the mechanical parts that make out the scroll wheel, also the scroll wheel's weight (aluminium?) itself. I added 2 extra 3.6g little weight at the back of the mice and now swinging the mice feels slightly better and balanced.
At a darker room now I feel the eye piercing blue
G, which is not quite needed IMO, it may annoy someone whom use it at night when hands is not on the mice, fancy looking but not a good feature, should have a switch to turn it off physically.
Now with my bigger mice mat, testing the full swing of the mice across the mat is very pleasant, not only the wire does not interfere much, the feet also feels solid, I can actually feels the mat's surface through the mice itself. With such weight (mice) and soft wire, making the mice steady when there's no movement, unlike my old MX518 may sometimes got pulled by the wire, stiff wire to be blame.
I think that's all for today's impression, will give more impression when I dive into few games.

Thank you, I've yet to try the software though, but I would like to have hardware switch, much convenient for most people like me (lazy to install software)
