I for one will be getting one
as im trying new mice at the moment

and i want to go wireless really now, tried a wireless mouse and zero lag !

I have had the G602 for a while now, great wireless mouse and never had any lag, can't see how this can be better in that respect!

£130 for the G502 wireless seems excessive, only paid £79 for the G602 a couple of years back! And the battery life on the G502 doesn't look great, 48 hours compared to 250 hours (hi-precision mode) or 9 months (eco mode) for the G602.

The sensor on the G502 looks to be much higher spec, but then i'd expect that of a 2019 mouse, however at the same time I can't say I've ever used the G602 and thought... if only i had another 13500 DPI...

I tried the 903 and couldn't get on with it, so I'm looking forward to this

Looking for a new gaming mouse, and this will definitely be on the short list.

I'm seriously tempted to send my G pro back to get this (I've got 30 days).

I do really like the Gpro but I've been using the wired G502 (wired) for years and it just feels right.

I know they state "May" for release, is there a specific date?

I hate wired mice as the cable always gets caught and stuff. The last time I used a wired mouse, I taped the cable to the desk, so I didnt have the extra tug on the mouse while moving it.

for the cable i just put mine through the cable tidy on my monitor stand with enough slack for it to move with no issues.

i have the g502 its a great mouse, really pricey for the wireless one though.

Hardwarecanucks reviewed this a few days ago, he preferred the Logitech Pro as this is too expensive.

not really a comparison, isn't the G pro a different shape and less buttons?

Paid £46 for my g502 4 years ago. Think i'll pass on the lightspeed version for that price :/

Yea, it's a completely different mouse really. Both are equally as comfortable for me but I really miss the extra buttons for mmos. As I understand it the 502 wireless has the same specs (with a higher dpi), it's just a different size/shape with more buttons.

A mouse bungee was the best upgrade to my PC I ever made.

Im on my third g502 in 4 months, i must just have had a bad batch but the left click keeps failing.

Currently looking for a replacement.

I've had mine for about 4 years with no problems.

I've sent back my Gpro and have pre ordered this instead.

I had the 602 and had quite a bit of lag. I now have a G900 and no problems at all

Strange, never experienced any lag with mine, always been very responsive.

Only noticeable when playing FPS - it was otherwise fine (if not a little heavy). I also noticed they changed their build quality half way through the product life cycle - my 1st one broke, and when it was replaced, the buttons were noticeably inferior, hence prompting me to get a new mouse.

As I say never experienced any lag with mine, and I've put many an hour into Overwatch and Destiny 2

Originally had the Logitech Performance MX but that thing did lag like crazy, switched to the G602 and never looked back.

Wish they could make it look a little more mature, would love to go wireless if the lag is really gone but it just looks ridiculous lol
