(It may be worth noting that the G502 lacks the "Fusion Engine" found in the G402, which results in a lower theoretical max speed of >300 inches per second versus the G402's >500 IPS. Whereas the marketing material on Logitech's website emphasizes the G402's speed, the G502's claim to fame is its tunable nature. I ended up rebinding it to the "search" command while playing Dragon Age: Inquisition - in the course of my 120 hour playthrough it saw a LOT of use. Some FPS players might find it useful, but even if you don't use the feature you can reassign the button to do something else. It also has that same button on the left that allows for on-the-fly dpi switching. (Personally I think it looks 50% more Protoss-ish than the G402… and now you can't unsee it.) Having used both the G402 and G502 extensively, I can assure you that the G502 has the same comfortable ergonomic design as that of the G402 that would suit right-handed palm grip (ftw) and finger grip users. Like the G402, it has a sleek "TRON-like" design, but with slightly more aggressive styling details. The Logitech G502 Proteus Core - another mouthful of a name - is the hero offer for Logitech's current generation of wired gaming mice. It looks 50% more Protoss-ish than the G402… and now you can't unsee it.īut first, let's get the formalities out of the way. Ergo this review will attempt to answer the question: is the G502 worth the extra dosh? This is evident when you look at the RRP - the G502 is priced at SGD 99, which is significantly more expensive than the G402's SGD 65 RRP. Now it's going to be difficult to review the G502 without constantly comparing it to its sibling, because the two were obviously designed in tandem, with the G502 positioned as the premium SKU while the G402 was aimed at the masses. So by now you've probably read Mike's review of the G402 Hyperion Fury, a mouse which I own (and love) but have not used in a month because Logitech loaned us a demo unit of its bigger brother: the G502 Proteus Core.
