Looking for a new mouse this and the wireless g602 are on the list. Anyone have experience with both? I predominantly play fps.

I use the G502 for BF4 and like it a lot. A lot of people like the Zowie FK1 for FPS as well.

Got a G602 and love it.
Batteries last for ages and can be run on only one for weight adjustment...albeit crude.
Only play cod and no regrets over buying it after years using a G5

Picked a G602 to try, have to say i'm seriously impressed and actually think it feels smoother than my G500S at the same dpi, must be the optical.

I can't use the G502 as a palm mouse, compared to my G500, does anyone else find this also? I can't get used to it.

It's more of a claw/finger tip mouse.

Ignore.

Well, I'm sticking with my Logitech G500 for now, I can't get used to the lower height, and shape.

I've got small hands and wouldn't recommend the G502 if you're a palm grip user.

Hopefully Logitech will release a new palm grip mouse with the new sensor.

Does anyone have an issue with the scroll wheel? It feels loose and isn't the best one I've used but the main issue is when you swipe left and right you can feel the wheel moving hitting the sides... apparently i'm not the only one after looking online.

The spinning bug has now been fixed, no more erratic mouse behaviour on anything other than the default profile. Update to the latest LGS and update your mouse's firmware when prompted. You may need to restart your machine a couple of times if it doesn't work.

I refused to let Logitech palm me of with this bug by offering a free RMA replacement. There was nothing wrong with the mouse's hardware as this issue was widely reported.

I love my G502 so much its a great mouse and feels amazing... but at the same time I perform better on my £20 sharkoon fireglider which... is IMO the best feeling mouse you can get.. actually feels better than the g502 which is a bit sad considering the price leap.

How long did it take you guys to get used to it? I use a claw grip.

Does anyone have anything to contribute to the "feet wearing away over a short time" issue.

Maybe this was on an older version and it has been resolved now?

dawnyworld · 16 Oct 2015 at 14:35

Got mine when they first came out ,use it daily for gaming no problem with the feet or anything else

I only had 1 gripe every now and again it would stop responding and I would need to pull the usb plug out but this seems to be fixed with the last firmware update

I ordered mine on the 8th of January, feet are still going strong is the rest of the mouse. The feet aren't even pealing or anything like that.

It has been used on a Perixx DX-2000XXL for its entire life.

Never had a problem with the stock skates on mine although I did replace them for some competition ones because I used a textured hard plastic mat and they became a bit scratchy but that was probably because it picked up some debris whilst gliding.

I have nothing but appraisal for these feet as do others on OCN

Not sure if this is real but there seems to be a rgb version of this mouse yet I can't see it on Logitech's site

Used it for over a year now. I had a G9x for about 4 years before it, and a G500 before that. It's like a baby between the 2 so I've quite enjoyed using it. The side groovings haven't worn away yet which was a problem with the G9x shells, so that's nice.

Those replacement "skates" look tempting, I might have to get some. It's a shame OcUK don't stock that sort of thing.

I was sold at blue bits

scooby555t · 21 Nov 2015 at 00:01

iceypan · 23 Nov 2015 at 10:37

I bought mine October last year and it was £60, dropped to £35 in December deals. It's at around £50 right now, it may drop again.
