While staying awake for 140 hours straight playing Call of Duty or CS:GO is out of the question, I can comfortably say that depending on use, you can easily hit the 140 hours of battery life Logitech claims. This tech helps the G502 X Lightspeed achieve its 140 hours of continuous use and should enhance the life of the switches by reducing mechanical wear.

This is the first time the company is combining the speed of an optical switch with the feel of a mechanical switch. The reason is thanks in part to Logitech’s revamped LIGHTSPEED wireless technology and improved LIGHTFORCE hybrid optical-mechanical Switches, which the company claims allow for a 68% faster response rate in comparison to the original G502 Lightspeed.

Logitech's G Hub software allows you to program different profiles.Īfter using the Logitech G502 X Lightspeed, I can honestly say that I would choose it and its 140-hour battery life over a less well-featured mouse offering 70 days. I couldn’t discern any potential issues or cosmetic damage after the drop tests. With my patent-pending drop test from a height of three feet, I dropped the mouse on hardwood floors and carpet. The underside also holds a compartment where you can store the Lightspeed USB-A receiver and connect the G502 X Lightspeed to Logitech’s Powerplay wireless charging mat. There have been complaints about the DPI switch’s location on the bottom of the mouse, which hasn’t changed between versions, but like every other button, it can be re-programmed via Logitech’s G Hub software.

Rounding out the G502 X Lightspeed’s functionality, you can adjust the DPI on the fly, scroll backward and forwards, and turn the mouse on and off via the switch on the underside. The second button allows you to switch between up to 5 profiles. The scroll wheel also tilts left and right, acting as a horizontal scroll. The first button allows you to switch between ratchet and hyperfast mode, allowing for freedom to quickly scroll up and down or precise control of the scroll wheel. You have the traditional left and right click buttons alongside the dual-mode scroll wheel and two center buttons. When your hand is resting on the mouse, you can comfortably access virtually every single button. However, using this mouse for my daily job, writing this review, and extended late-night gaming sessions, I never experienced hand fatigue or discomfort. I found this gaming mouse comfortable even after prolonged use.Ĭoming from the more office work-oriented Logitech MX Masters 3S as my daily driver, it initially took a couple of hours to acclimate to the G502 X Lightspeed. The G502 X Lightspeed comes in two colors: black, and white with silver accents.

Logitech confirms official compatibility with Windows and macOS. However, the G502 X Lightspeed bumps up the battery life, performance, and functionality over its predecessor. Both mice are angular and were made for right-handed individuals. Making its return is the inclusion of Logitech’s wireless LIGHTSPEED technology, Hero 25K sensor, and PowerPlay support. The two mice share several key components and similar designs, and can even be found for similar prices $120 for the older G502 Lightspeed, and $140 for the G502 X Lightspeed.

Special features: LIGHTFORCE hybrid optical-mechanical switches, 5 onboard memory profiles, low friction PTFE feet, constant motionĪ refinement of the 2019 G502 Lightspeed, the G502 X Lightspeed is more of an internal upgrade.

Connectivity: Wired (USB-C to USB-A cable), 2.4Ghz LIGHTSPEED wireless (USB-A Receiver).
