Other Versions

The Logitech G502 X Plus Lightspeed is the wireless version of the model without the inclusion of RGB Lighting. If you are looking for RGB lighting and a wireless setup, you have to look for the Logitech G502 X PLUS. The regular Logitech G502 X is wired and has RGB lighting.

Comparing With Other Gaming Mice

G502 X Plus is practically the continuation of the G502 line from Logitech. We are talking about some of the most popular mice for gaming you will find on the market. The updated practically marked changes in the appearance of the gaming mouse, with the result being less aggressive and more rounded.

For RGB models there are extra additions and the battery life is a lot better. The mechanical buttons (left click and right click) are replaced with the optical-mechanical hybrid switches. This is a great choice because it helps when you play different video games and it is also a good option for regular daily tasks and browsing.

Build Quality

This gaming mouse has an excellent build quality. The body is made out of thinner plastic but it is a high quality material. The sides have small flexibility, just like the underside area. Side buttons can be activated when you squeeze the mouse’s frame. However, with regular use, this is definitely not a problem you will have to deal with.

Wireless Capability

You do get a receiver that you put in your PC and the battery included in the Logitech G502 X PLUS Lightspeed is rechargeable. It is possible to use the device while you are charging it and you will surely take full advantage of the auto on/off feature included. And there is a receiver extender available if you need it.

Other Facts Of Interest

The battery life of the Logitech G502 X Plus Lightspeed is of 130 hours. This is much longer than the past models in the line. However, if you do opt for the RGB version, the battery life is just 37 hours, so it is something to take into account.

One thing I found really cool is that the RGB lighting will be automatically turned off when you activate a feature (active play detection). It practically means that if you game, the lighting is off so your battery power is conserved.

Final Thoughts

There is no way to say that the Logitech G502 X Plus Lightspeed is not a great gaming mouse. This is one of the best you can use right now, especially if you want a very reliable wireless mouse and you do not care much about RGB options. If you play FPS games, it is the best choice, although it is also very good for other game types.
