Logitech G is a brand that is no stranger to gamers. In fact, it’s one of the most popular gaming brands in the market at the moment particularly when it comes to gaming peripherals like mouses, keyboards and headphones. Over the years, the brand has become synonymous with some of the best gaming peripherals and esports teams.

One of their most popular offerings is their Logitech G502 gaming mouse. The lineup is one of the more affordable gaming mouses on the market. However, it’s always struck an impressive balance between affordability and functionality. Logitech is updating and reimagining the mouse with the announcement of their new Logitech G502 X lineup. Yep – that’s right a lineup. Not only is the mouse getting a design revamp, but it’s also becoming its own line.

The new lineup will consist of three mouses: the Logitech G502 X, the Logitech G502 X PLUS and the Logitech 502 X LIGHTSPEED. Each of the mouses in the lineup has its own unique features but shares a common set of base features that are signature to the G502 X line.

LIGHTFORCE Technology with LIGHTSPEED Latency

The biggest change in the G502 X lineup is the introduction of a new hybrid switch – the LIGHTFORCE. The new microswitch technology combines the speed and responsiveness of optical technology with the actuation and tactility of mechanical switches. The switch uses galvanic parts that operate like mechanical switches. Paired with the optical component of the LIGHTFORCE switch, Logitech is able to deliver an experience that is reliable with ultra-low latency actuation.

The G502 X has been redesigned from the ground up to cater to a wider group of gamers. It now features a redesigned, reversible and removable DPI-shift button to fit into any sized hand and accommodate any grip type. The scroll wheel is also redesigned to be lighter and more stable. However, it still retains the iconic dual hyper-fast infinite scroll and rachet modes of the G502.

All models in the new G502 X come with the HERO 25K high-precision gaming sensor. The sensor offers a 1:1 accuracy ratio at sub-micron levels. It also provides zero smoothing, filtering or acceleration making it more natural and intuitive to use. The HERO sensor and LIGHTFORCE technology work hand in hand allowing the new G502 X to have response times up to 68% faster than the previous generation.

The PLUS & LIGHTSPEED Factors

The Logitech G502 X PLUS and LIGHTSPEED feature LIGHTSPEED wireless technology. This allows low latency wireless connectivity between the PC and the mouse. What’s more, the new generation LIGHTSPEED protocol allows for up to two devices to connect to one receiver. So, you’ll be able to connect your new gaming mouse to LIGHTSPEED receivers if you have an existing LIGHTSPEED peripheral like the Logitech G915 or G715 gaming keyboards.

They also charge over USB-C. Additionally, the wireless versions of the G502 X are also compatible with the Logitech G POWERPLAY wireless charging mat which is able to charge the mouse while in use providing it with endless charge. The PLUS variant also comes with LIGHTSYNC RGB. This will allow you to customise the 8-LED lighting to fit your style and game.

The new Logitech G502 X lineup is already available from retailers as well as official Logitech stores on Lazada and Shopee. The G502 X will retail for MYR319 while the G502 X LIGHTSPEED and PLUS will be priced at MYR549 and MYR689 respectively.
