The button location are solid enough for me to be satisfied the only issue I have with this mouse is that the scroll wheel now spins freely and is one hell of a headache playing most fps games as the wheel usually switches weapons in most games.\n\nSo for example you run out of ammo in game and want to switch to your secondary.. well you'll switch to it but switch right back about 3 times. Kind of a deal breaker for clutch moment gaming.\n\n***edit***\n\nTurns out i'm an idiot. There's a button that locks and unlocks the scroll wheel..LMAO sooo yeah no this mouse is great i'm just not smart enough to properly utilize it."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': "This would be a wonderful mouse other than the constant click/double click issue. The first one I had for a very short time. During that time I was doing a lot of gaming/designing and the click issue showed up very quickly. Amazon was great and provided an exchange. During the time I had the new one, I was not doing as much gaming/designing so the click issue took longer to show up. I am convinced this is a design flaw in the mouse itself. I will not purchase another one of these. The price is not worth it at all with the click issue. To be clear, the click issue is that when you click or try to click and drag, the mouse either doesn't hold the click or double clicks. I have tested this extensively. If it wasn't for that issue, this mouse would be wonderful. However, this creates a lot of issues with gaming, graphic design and so much more when trying to work and renders the mouse almost useless because of productivity."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'It seems logitech has either a quality control problem or a supply problem because the switches in these mice are absolute garbage. The mouse is honestly one of the best mice I have ever used while it worked - until it didn\'t. Less than a year old and $75 gets you a mouse that feels great in the hand until the scroll wheel starts jumping around and the left click starts randomly double clicking, and then not clicking at all - all intermittently. There are numerous reviews out there one can find by simply googling "g502 double click" in which people either return them and hope their next one doesn\'t do the same, refund them, or the more technical self swap of a mechanical switch for the left click.\n\nI will not be going any of these routes and I\'m sad to say it because Logitech used to be a staple in PC peripherals. Now it\'s not the plastic it\'s made of.\n\nedit: As I write this update, I have actually taken another star off for the true, 1 star review. I typically don\'t believe in one star reviews because it\'s generally an overreaction and everything is either 5 stars great or 1 star horrible, but Logitech has sunken to the 1 star territory. After literally 15 emails back and forth with Logitech support, I had to use their website to prove I was having a double click issue, which was easily done, but had to film both myself, the mouse, and the serial number from the mouse in the video while doing it. I could easily reproduce the double click fault in both the left AND right click function and sent proof. I sent my mouse back to Logitech on approx the 10th of January 2020. They received my mouse the 15th of January 2020. I don\'t hear anything for 8 days until I first contact them again asking for an update. Still nothing. Finally I receive an email stating that my product is not faulty, and therefore doesn\'t qualify for the warranty. Nevermind the evidence I had to first email them. Nevermind the 100% reproduce able error in both left and right clicking.\n\nI will never buy a logitech product again.\n\nDo yourself a favor and google \'logitech double click\' and question whether you want to buy this mouse, likely have the issue, and then not have the warranty honored. I bought a cheap mouse replacement to tide me over and it works much better anyway.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-4 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Let me start by saying that I\'ve used a lot of gaming mice, like, over 50 of them. The Logitech g502 was always a quality mouse and tons of people love the thing just based on the design and overall quality of the mouse; That being said, there are a few things to consider if you\'re thinking about getting this one in particular.\n\nThe Pros of this mouse are fairly straightforward, and are as follows:\n- Comfortable shape for most right handed people, but should be more comfortable for people with medium to large size hands.\n- Good build quality which easily places it in the same category as other \'premium\' around this price point or even a bit higher.\n- Scroll wheel: this is one of my personal favorite features of the mouse. Allows infinite scroll to get through annoying EULA pages quicker and also quickly raise or lower volume on YouTube or other video streaming sites, but without sacrificing the much needed precision of the standard mouse wheel steps. Feels satisfying to use, but it is made of metal, which leads to a negative I\'ll be mentioning later on.\n- Sensor: The Logitech Hero sensor has been tested numerous times and found to be roughly on par with the PMW3360 series sensors (including the 3366 on the original g502) while being advantageous for usage in wireless mice due to the lessened draw of power which allows for a longer battery life.\n\nThe Cons of this mouse make it hard to recommend to everyone, and are why I don\'t usually recommend it as a first choice.\n\n-Weight: My god. This thing is one of the heaviest mice I\'ve used for an extended period of time. I don\'t know exactly how much this weighs, but it feels pretty similar to the original, which I believe weighed in a little over 130 grams. Most gaming mice target a weight of 100g or LIGHTER, since lowering the weight of the mouse will make extended use easier and will allow for a greater degree of control.\n- Not a truly "safe" shape, this may or may not matter to you, but I felt that it\'s worth mentioning. Obviously this is a mouse for right handed people, and it may not necessarily be a great fit for you if your hands are very small (I have very small hands and cannot reach the sniper button at all, but the mouse is still comfortable).\n\nI would say it\'s a top tier mouse, but only if you can look past the weight. I would recommend that, as always, if you have the ability to do so, you should go to a local store and try some of the mice out to see which feels best to you, and make your decision after you have an idea what type of mouse shape you want.\n\nI won\'t recommend that you do or don\'t buy a product, so I\'ll leave it at that.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'i play alot of many types of games which makes me need as many buttons as possible on my mouse. i had the g502 and then when i i saw an upgrade, as any serious gamer, i had to have" the best". the laser and accuracy is the best ive touched ever.BUT!!!!! they need to add this laser to the g600 mmo mouse and /or arrange the button layout a little bit better for short finger . i frequently hit extra buttons on the mouse and the thumb button makes me hold the entire mouse in a uncomfortable way.\n\nin summation if you are hard core about fps\'s this is the mouse you need, want and have to have. if you are all about warcraft or whatever other mmo is out right now, not so much.....'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'This review is for the Hero version of G502. I have stopped using Logitech mice since they discontinued G9. I have been using Roccat Kone XTD since then that died after serving me for over 5 years. After reading reviews about G502 I decided to give it a try as I really liked the overall design and feel , it reminded me of G9.\n\nSo when I learned they are refreshing the 502 with a new sensor I was skeptical to pay $30 more for the new one. Now that I used it I am glad I did. The refreshed model has a really thick and flexible cord that was apparently a major weakness in the original 502. Couple that with a really awesome sensor that is super accurate and sensitive to slightest movements and tracks on any surface (seriously I tried everything from a white paper to the palm of my hand) and you have a potential winner. However, the best part of this mouse is not that or the the materials that they used which also feels really nice and durable.\n\nWhile subjective and relevant to how big or small your hands are for me the way the mouse sits in my hand and how easy it is to access the buttons are the best indicators . The buttons themselves feel very satisfying to press thanks to the spring loaded mechanism. Last but not least is the scroll wheel. This... this scrollwheel I can probably write a whole paragraph on how good it is... Not only does it have the infinite mode that rolls beautifully but also its made from METAL. Its a nice chunk of metal that is just better than a plastic one in every way. I dont think I can go back to plastic mouse-wheels after using my G502. You might never use the 16000DPI sensor but if you used G502 and similar mice in the past and are due for an upgrade the refresh 502 is totally worth the money Logitech is asking for.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-3 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Scroll wheel broke within the first week and now it freewheels like fidget spinner.

The mouse feels more precise than it's predecessor and honestly the main reason for the upgrade was for the white accent color to match my current setup. Over all, for the price it's a great mouse. I paid more for the original one when that came out. 10/10 would recommend."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-2 review-rating', 'review_body': ' ORDERED = 05/11/2019 || SELLER = Amazon.com LLC || PAID = $59.35\n((FAILED ON 09/18/2020))\n\n:: PROS ::\n1.) Improved braided cable over previous G502 model.\n2.) The weight options are exact same as previous model. (Feels identical in all ways, easy to get used to.)\n3.) I\'m about 6\'-6" and little over 200 lbs - fits my hand fairly well. (They don\'t make many BIG HAND mice :)\n4.) DPI shift button is epic for sniping btw!!! (Great for nudging objects in Adobe too.)\n5.) LIGHTSYNC added to this model is cool for custom rigs & lighting. (Single click, easy to enable.)\n6.) Fully customizable RGB LED, you can set color, cycle speed & mode indicators.\n7.) VERY VERY accurate mouse, 4,000 DPI higher than previous 12,000 DPI 502 model. 16,000 DPI is insane resolution tbh.\n8.) Rubberized areas can handle greasy, salty gamer hands lol (see pics.)....they are the most durable grips I have ever seen in my 30 years of using mice.\n\n:: CONS ::\n((FAILED)) LEFT MOUSE BUTTON FAILURE - The older version I have is more reliable after 3 years. Logitech products across the board are having durability issues. Their OLDER 2015 - 2018 Products were far superior. Not sure what is going on with their design and quality control, but after MANY years and thousands of dollars of products there is a noticeable DROP in QUALITY & more specifically DURABILITY. ((Possibly they are too trick for their own good)\n\n1.) The cord is much better, but this mouse still has one. (It\'s hard to find CONS with the G502 HERO.)\n2.) Really miss the cordless days, but this mouse catches every signal & the slightest movements.\n3.) The RGB is usually not prominent as it\'s under your hand or in sleep mode.\n4.) Free wheel mouse mode can be sensitive to twitch gaming. Some rolling can occur, but you gotta be really shaking it.\n\n:: OVERALL :: I HATE CORDS, but I love this mouse so I am always torn between both worlds. I need to be highly accurate in my video, photography & gaming life, all the G502 series mice have enhanced my computer work & play!\n\nI have purchased 3 of them now, 2 of which have HEAVY use & abuse....they still work perfectly and remain accurate. Seriously this mouse brought my K/D up to new highs, it\'s so much better than the $100 cordless laser I\'m still kind of in shock. It\'s a gaming AND business must have. Using this for websites, photo editing & detail alignments in Adobe is a dream come true.\n\nDON\'T FORGET IT\'s EVEN GOT MACROS!?!? I don\'t use them to their full potential, but the few macros I have are awesome!\n\nFINAL NOTE: My first G502 is still rock solid even after years of abuse, nothing has failed. Mouse wheel is 100% & so is the weight latch.\n\nI hated Logitech until I used the 502\'s, their mousewheels fail, wireless signal loss is constant (with exception to the $100 wireless lasers.) AND the rubberized grips always turned to \'sticky goo\' after 3-4 years. I was pissed off at Logitech when I bought the 502 & was ready to rip apart this mouse in a review if it SUCKED.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I bought a logitech hero around 8 months ago, and 6 months from the first use the mouse started to ghost clicking like crazy. bought this second one to see if it was some sort of factory error, if the same problem happens again ill downgrade to 1 star and i will confirm this mouse is a piece of junk. Like I said the mouse worked great, this time for around 5 months then the same issue happend again on a new mouse. Not even worth buying this junk.'}]
