Logitech G502 Hero

Overview

Pros & Cons

Reviews

Similar To

Price: $42

Logitech’s G502 Hero is a worthy update at a slightly unreasonable price tag. If you’re after performance at any cost, this is the best G502 on the market. For most people, they’ll probably just buy the inexpensive older model, and I can’t think of a single argument to dissuade them. -- As reviewed by TrustedReviews

Expert reviews and ratings

Logitech's line of gaming peripherals have always proven that it just doesn't do these accessories just for the sake of doing them – but in fact, it offers a whole new way of how you can enjoy playing your games.

By TechRadar on February 20, 2019 80

Logitech’s new Hero sensor improves on the landmark G502, but a few build improvements may have helped it better keep up with SteelSeries’ best.

By gamecrate.com on February 11, 2019 88

The Logitech G502 Hero is a great mouse, but Logitech might have played it a bit too safe – it’s just not that much of a significant upgrade from the G502. But for those in the market for the latest and great gaming mouse, however, the Hero will make you realize why countless gamers have fallen in love with Logitech’s G502.

If you are already a proud user of Logitech’s G502 mouse, there isn’t enough of an upgrade to justify the cost, unless you want to experience the HERO 16K sensor, and want to have the best of everything when it comes to gaming.

By PCWorld New Zealand on November 16, 2018 100

If you already have a G502, there’s not much reason to upgrade to the new version—it’s basically identical. But if you’re looking for a new gaming mouse, or maybe your first gaming mouse? The G502 Hero is a top-tier option. Time hasn’t dampened its appeal one bit.

The G502 Hero's design is a bit overcomplicated, but it's still the go-to heavy palm grip mouse with a new, even better sensor.

By futurefive.co.nz on December 07, 2018

If you currently own the HERO’s predecessor, then this probably isn’t worth the upgrade, especially considering the increase in price. However, if you’re currently in the market for a wired gaming mouse, then the G502 HERO should certainly be on your shortlist.

By Venture Beat on August 31, 2018

The G502 Hero is an excellent mouse for people who play a lot of shooters. Its performance is top-of-the-category. Its optional weights mean you can get the feel you want. The clutch gives you an advantage in sniping scenarios. I would personally want a wireless one that works with Logitech’s wireless charging Powerplay mat, but I’m probably gonna keep using this one for a while until that happens.

International Review By tomshardware.fr on May 14, 2019 80

Il y a cinq ans de cela, la G502 remportait d'innombrables récompenses. Saluée par les professionnels tout autant que le public, elle a longtemps fait figure de référence et il n'est donc pas étonnant de voir Logitech tenter de capitaliser sur...

Bei der verbesserten G502 Hero hat Logitech -fast- alles richtig gemacht. Der Nager punktet mit einer top Verarbeitungsqualität, einer hohen Langlebigkeit und einer beeindruckenden Technik. Auch puncto Ausstattung (elf Tasten, anpassbares Gewicht) gibt...

Nur wenig spürbare VerbesserungenWer mit der Ergonomie und dem Gewicht der Maus klarkommt, wird auf jeden Fall viel Freude an der robusten, sehr gut verarbeiteten, schnellen und präzisen Maus haben. Weder beim Zocken noch beim Arbeiten hatten wir an der...

Hero folgt auf Proteus SpectrumAuf die im Januar 2016 erschienene G502 Proteus Spectrum lässt Logitech diesen Herbst die G502 Hero folgen. Eine Revolution der rund zweieinhalb Jahre alten Maus steht damit zwar nicht an, der Neuzugang im Portfolio bringt...

International Review By Tecnologici on November 01, 2018

Una parola che fa la differenza: il suffisso Hero dopo il famigerato nome Logitech G502 fa intuire che si tratta di una nuova versione di uno dei mouse best seller di Logitech. La novità principale risiede nell'inclusione del sensore Hero per avere...
