Score: 82/100
Logitech G502 HERO
Score: 81/100Rankings
The Logitech G305 LIGHTSPEED is a wireless gaming mouse that excels with a HERO 12K sensor, ultra-low latency and exceptional 250-hour battery life. Its relatively heavy weight and small ergonomic footprint limit comfort for larger hands and left-handed users. Ideal for small-to-medium hand sizes, budget-conscious travelers, and FPS gamers who prioritize performance over ultra-light weight.
The Logitech G502 HERO is a wired high-performance mouse featuring a HERO 25K sensor, extensive button customization, and a tunable weight system. Its heavier base weight, right-handed only design, and non-detachable cable make it less suitable for ultralight or left-handed users. Best for competitive FPS and MOBA gamers who value precision and customization over ultra-light portability.
