New mouse time. Recommendations ?


Recommended Posts

Hey all. 

 

Looks like it might be time to consider a new mouse. 

 

I was eying up the G502 X PLUS GAMING MOUSE but wondering if any one else had any ideas to throw on the table? 

 

Thanks guys!

Premium Platinum - Lifetime

I have a Steelseries Rival 310, it's pretty good, but it is wired which I assume you don't want. They do have a Rival 3 which seems to be the same thing but wireless.

 

Is there any specific feature you're looking for?

Model D Wireless? 

 

I switch between my Model D and my G502 but I'm wired. I like the D better (😉), the only real reason I use the 502 is for the extra buttons when I'm not gaming.

I'm no mouse guru, but this is the one I use for wireless and I absolutely love it.....
https://www.trustedreviews.com/reviews/logitech-g602-gaming-mouse

 

A friend of mine was trying to convince me off wireless and back into a wired mouse with this one:

WWW.TECHPOWERUP.COM

Logitech's iconic gaming mouse is back, and it's better than ever! The G MX518 (also known as the MX518 Legendary) features the flagship...

 

From what I understand though, the MX518 Legendary was a limited run model though.  Not going to lie, its the "snappiest" feeling mouse I've ever had when paired with freesync and high refresh rate.  I still absolutely love my G602 though, its not that far behind and well....wireless. 🙂  

 

If that G502 you're looking at is anything at all like my G602 (maybe better since newer and "gamer"?), then I'd say its a good mouse.  It looks like it holds very similar in your hand to the G602 I have, and the specs look to be considerably better than both of mine if the numbers mean anything.  My MX518 Legendary has the HERO 16k sensor and that G502 has the HERO 25k.  I'm assuming bigger number is better.  My G602 (clearly older) has a ADNS-3090 sensor on it, for whatever that's worth.  The MX518 I have is seriously the quickest / smoothest mouse I've ever felt.

 

Shoot, now you've got me wanting a G502 X Plus, looks like it'd be the best of both of my mice put together!

We know. 🤣

 

I use a wired G502 Hero at work. I like it so far, but is still small for someone with large hands. I have three of their G700's and they conform to my hand better than any mouse I have owned. I don't know if they make them anymore, but can be found on ebay. 

 

*Edit: Yea, I had no idea they were THIS expensive now, holy *. Never mind what I said.

I use a g903 lightspeed, a tad heavy, but I'm used to gaming on mice back when they were wireless (AA cell)

I always use MMO mice, so probably can't help.

 

Might be helpful to know what features you specifically need.

When I bought my last gaming mouse, I learned that modern wireless gaming mice have the same latency as wired ones, just fyi. I got the G305. Really great for the price.

Hey guys,

 

Thanks for the comments. Yes I was a little vague in my first post. All in all I play FPS (Mainly COD) and my current mouse is not really geared towards that sort of gaming. I have decided to go wireless for my next endeavour as my current one is wired and I find the wire to be a little cumbersome at times. From what I understand, the input latency is super low today from decent quality mice, so that is of little concern now.  

 

Will have to check the current weight of my mouse, the G502 X Plus from a review I looked at is 103.7 Grammes, which means nothing to me until I weight my current mouse haha.
