The G502 can tip the scales at 163g with all the weights installed (168g if you include the USB cable). It also weighs about the same at 145g, which is surprising given the Performance MX is only 147g and includes a lithium-ion battery as it is wireless. The G502 measures 132mm long, 75mm wide and 40mm tall, which is similar to my Logitech Performance MX. There are quite a few glossy surfaces and they seem to provide pathways for air movement under your hand besides being aesthetically pleasing, and while appearances probably have a lot to do with their inclusion, we believe Logitech was trying to reduce sweaty palm syndrome here.

The right and left clickers seem to be constructed from plastic and have a sleek feel without being glossed. The opposite side where the little finger would rest is also coated in the same rubberized material and helped when moving the mouse in a horizontal motion. Where your thumb would naturally sit there is a small resting spot wrapped in a rubberized material that is comfortable and offers plenty of grip. The mouse features heat-mapped zone definition and advanced coatings for improved comfort, control and durability, according to Logitech.įrom our perspective, the mouse looks very impressive and it is extremely comfortable to hold. The G502 Proteus Core is said to be designed from advanced surface materials. The device is super flexible, working flawlessly on timber, laminate and steel as well as standard mouse pad materials, not to mention its five chevron-shaped 3.6g weights, its eleven programmable buttons, in-game DPI shifting and dual mouse wheel modes. Having only been available for a few weeks, we're surprised by how many people have bought Logitech's new G502 Proteus Core and perhaps even more by the fact that few seem anything less than enthralled, whether by its style, specs or simply its badass name.īeing the first mouse to tout a staggering 12,000 DPI is of particular interest to us because it should be ideal for 4K gaming, though the G502's advanced sensor is complemented by a host of other features that also make for the ultimate gaming companion.
