Logitech G502 or nothing!
G502 master race
Mine is starting to double click, but I'll probably get the same one again like a bitch
I'm already happy with how long mine has lasted. It's survived 2-3x the life of the Razer mice that I had before it. These things seem durable.
If it ever breaks, I'd happily pick up another.
My G500 started double clicking within a month of purchasing it. I just bound left click to a side button and never looked back. I've been using that broken mouse for over a decade now because they're just that good.
Logitech was so close to creating the perfect mouse. Why they haven't fixed their terrible internals is beyond me (planned obsolescence aside).
Double clicking is because Logitech cheaped out on the hardware of the revision. Thus, Proteus Spectrum will always be superior to the Hero.
I used to feel this way about the mx510/mx518/g400s
Now I have a 502 light speed but I want something lighter
I still feel that way about the old MX510/518/400 line. When the G series first came out, Target had a whole shelf of MX518 on 90% off clearance and I bought them all. Gave a bunch away as gifts, but they lasted me almost until Logitech made the re-release of the MX518 with newer internals. I bought a few of them and am still on the first one after a few years. I bought a 502 on clearance to see if they were any better than the MX518. Nope, so it's now living in the backup hardware box.
I've kept my g400s as a backup, and my mx510 is still packed away for nostalgia. I even put new feet on it!
I went through so many feet on my old MX510 and MX518 that I bought a huge roll of 1/2" wide industrial teflon tape to put over the feet. The newer models have much bigger and thicker feet so that's not needed anymore, but man those old ones wore away quick.
Even without the weights inside?
I've got the wired version (Hero and X versions) and the X version is very light (to me anyway)
Yea even with the weights in, think I want to try a G pro
It's probably not too hard to undo a couple screws and glue a fishing weight in there, if it bothers you.
I love my 502
Same, although i don't like having to charge it as much as i do. nor how difficult it is to take apart
Never had that problem, because I didn't even know there is a wireless version.
I'm still on the 500, and I have a couple I got way back. I'm hopeful that when they eventually die, Logitech has available something decent. I don't have much hope though.
I used to use G502 for 5 years before discovering the wonders of lightweight mice and low sensitivity.
Yep. Although I preferred smaller mice always due to my hands size. Had G9 which lasted for eternity, then USB cable broke and me being an idiot got rid of it instead of looking for a fix. Still regret that decision. Then I wandered through bunch of different device and finally settled on GPro.
G604 Lightspeed!
