Full review
Longer notes from the same comments we summarized above.
What people reported
Owners upgrading to the Logitech G502 X Plus generally appreciate several improvements over previous models. The LIGHTFORCE Hybrid switches are a standout, described as feeling much more tactile and better. The inclusion of a USB-C charging port is also seen as a significant upgrade, making it easier to use magnetic charging cables. Users report very good battery life, especially when the RGB lighting is off. Many find the mouse responsive and that it fits their hand perfectly, particularly those accustomed to the G502's form factor. The standard pads are noted for being quieter and smoother, though some wonder about their long-term durability. Some users also like the improved RGB lighting compared to older versions and the option to connect multiple devices to a single dongle.
Problems people mention
A recurring complaint, echoing issues with other Logitech products, is the Logitech G HUB software, which many users describe as "dogshit" or a "mess." A notable drawback for some is the absence of an adjustable weight system, a feature present in older G502 models, which disappoints those who preferred a heavier, customizable mouse. The G502 X Plus is still considered heavy by some, even after weight reductions from previous versions. One user specifically disliked the mouse's form factor for a claw grip and reported an "annoying, high pitched metallic sound" from the clicking. There were also general concerns about Logitech switches' durability, with some expecting them to last only 3-4 years.
Where owners disagree
The weight of the mouse is a significant point of contention. Some users explicitly state they hate heavy mice and prefer lightweight options, while others actively seek out heavier mice, finding them better for micro-adjustments in games and preferring the substantial feel in hand. Some even modify the mouse to reduce its weight further, while others actively add weights to older models. Another area of disagreement is RGB lighting: some appreciate the aesthetic and even find the DPI light useful, while others view it as a gimmick that wastes battery life and adds unnecessary cost, preferring the non-RGB version.
Who it's for
The Logitech G502 X Plus is a strong candidate for right-handed users who prefer a heavier mouse and a palm or hybrid grip. It is particularly suitable for those upgrading from older G502 models who seek a wireless experience with improved switches and USB-C charging. It may appeal to gamers who use many programmable buttons, as the G502 X Plus offers 13 controls. However, users who strongly prefer lightweight mice, employ a claw grip, or rely on an adjustable weight system should consider alternatives.
