Dude, the G502 is such a great mouse. Mine has lived through so many years of gaming and is still chugging!
If you get ~7 years of life out of the M705, I would consider that to be quality since it would last through thousands of hours of usage. Any less and I would consider it a dud product, but that is certainly my opinion only there.
Never heard of the G13 before, so I looked it up and I think that's pretty cool! This would have been a product I would have to try to see if it would fit my use case for gaming. A mini keyboard with a joystick seems cool, and admittedly I'm hovering my left hand in the air and trying to mimick what that would be like. Hard to conceptualize without actually trying it! I hope you got good use out of it, it does seem really cool.
If Logitech didn't enshittify, they should've made their own version of the Power Glove. 😀 The Power Glove was way before my time on Earth, but man that would've been cool to see for PC.
I have never found anything as nice for my hand as the G502, and it has the perfect amount of buttons. That's why I had to stock up!
The G13 got really popular AFTER Logitech discontinued it, because there really hasn't been anything like it on the market. I went looking to stock up on those too, but I was too late - they will go for a couple hundred bucks or more, used, when you can find one!
Such a shame too because I always recommended the G502. I love the feel, the ergonomics, and the button placement. I love the customizeable weights you can swap in. I used to play with all the weights, but then over the years I took them all out and now use none. My aim got better in FPS games - I went from steaming hot garbage to just regular garbage LOL.
I'm going to watch a couple review videos of the G13 to see if it's up my alley. And if yes, I'll add that bad boy to my watch lists and pick up a used one if I can score it for a decent price.
