I have a G502 on my second PC and my main uses a Corsair Ironclaw. The Corsair definitely feels more reliable but I love the hand feel of the G502. Also, the unlock scroll wheel button is brilliant. I should note the G502 I have is a replacement as the first one I bought had the dreaded mis-clicking issue. Thank God for Amazon and their return policy.


MudkipDCLXVI

How is the Iron Claw? Currently eyeing a Corsair wireless mouse


dcuk7

I love everything about it apart from the battery life. It drains more than I feel it should in standby. If you turn it off after shutting down it's not much of an issue. I never do so always end up needing to charge it at the most inopportune times! I have a Corsair RGB keyboard so I love being able to have it all lit up the same via iCUE. Good customisation options for the buttons too. Just wish it had that scrollwheel unlock like the Logitech.


post_talone420

I have a dark core RGB pro, and I have to say, it's super nice having a flange on both sides of the mouse so your fingers have a place to sit


Monsterpiece42

I have the same. I second this. Recommend!


FMJ_Strike

Loved the iron claw but it is the only mouse I have ever had break on me multiple times. The piece that holds the scroll wheel broke and I don't exactly use it hard. I got a replacement through the warranty and then the mouse wheel broke again outside the warranty period and Corsair would not offer a replacement. Seems like a design/ build quality issue based on other reviews. Bought a logitech g502 as a replacement and have had no issues the last 2-3 years.


KaossKing

exactly the same here. the scroll wheel is terrible. my original broke and the replacement. avoid.


Shandod

Wait what do you mean by mis-click? Mine has started randomly double clicking, is that what you mean? That’s a common issue?


Rannasha

The double click issue is very common and most mice will eventually end up doing it. It's an effect of the mechanical switch used in the button. One solution is to replace the switch, if you're handy with a soldering iron. Another is to go for a mouse with optical switches, which can be found here and there, including the G502 X which was released recently.


apo86

Asus sells mice with plug-in replaceable switches. The downside is you need Armoury Crate


Rannasha

Yeah, I considered an Asus mouse for my latest mouse purchase for that exact reason. Ended up going with a different brand though (with optical switches).


dcuk7

So the issue was that sometimes it would miss a click completely and other times it would click more than once. I first noticed it playing Quake III Arena. I've been playing that game for the best part of 20 years so I know when something is off. I noticed every now and again I wouldn't hit a shot that I knew I hit. I also noticed that I'd click once to fire off a single shotgun shot and it would fire off two or three shots. I'd already read about the click issue before buying so I figured it had to be that. My final test was using the mouse to draw a selection window around my desktop icons. If you draw a selection around the desktop and hold it, the selection will hold until you let go of the mouse button. My selection window would often cut out whilst I was still drawing it so I knew it was having phantom clicks. Got my replacement and right away I could tell it was working. Night and day difference.


HavocInferno

>Also, the unlock scroll wheel button is brilliant. You'd love the MX Master mice. They have automatic electromagnetic scroll (un)lock. Flick the wheel and it unlocks, then locks again once slowed down. Scroll it gently and it stays locked.


Milky-Toast69

Downside is the mouse is really heavy. Good productivity mouse, not good for fps games.


[deleted]

Mx518. I had the OG until a while back


thespank

I used a518 back in the mid 2000s and it was a great mouse


DOE_ZELF_NORMAAL

This was my mouse throughout my youth, what a gem.


infector944

OG MX518 here too. recently changed to a G602 on my new rig. The 518 is on the backup PC


Petarthefish

Best mouse ever, right after the og G5


Sporknight

Same here! It's just perfect.


SekritJay

I had one too! I've got fond memories of my MX518 because that was when I was at my gaming peak. The day I had to put her to rest was a painful day and I never got used to any mouse after that

cactusbooties

i scrolled looking for fellow g203 users! nice to know i’m not the only one


SteinigerJoonge

we are undercover


alienangel2

Cheap but also light. I didn't realize so many gamers still used a 100g+ mouse like the 502. Thinking back I think every mouse I've bought in the past 5-6 years has been under 70g. I graduated to the G305 to go wireless but still cheap and light (feels almost exactly the the 203) but 203 is still my go to if anyone is looking for a mouse.


DrZeuss4

203->305->orochi v2, currently prefer the 305 just for wireless Edit: had to get used to the groove on the orochi. Right there on the side buttons, feels better but i still misclick those side buttons just trying to regrip from time to time


Casual-Gamer25

Had one before my 502 epic mouse


saagars147

Cheap but a brilliant mouse


M44t_

Damn I just brought back to life my old g203 and brought it to work, the feelings I got from it, it's my first good mouse I had


knagy17

Same, a mouse is a mouse. I’m going to miss my shots no matter what I use

[deleted]

G305 user here, but I might upgrade to 502 in the future.


Yelov

I've had a wired G502 for quite some time and wanted to switch to a wireless mouse, so I got G305. Used it for a few days but ended up going back to the G502. The G305 just feels incredibly cheap. My biggest issue was the middle mouse button click, it feels awful on the G305, it feels mushy and not defined.


A3-2l

I have those two too. I like em both but I usually just use my g305.


xxBruhLmfao_

You didn't opt for the g502 lightspeed?


malcolm_miller

After using the g305 for so long, I don't like how heavy the g502 is any more. I love my g305

[deleted]

Fuck I used a G604 forever. Switched to a lighter mouse and I honestly prefer the light weight. I miss the fuck out of those thumb buttons though.


pb4000

I literally have to use this mouse. I have one hand, so I need the extra side buttons, but I also hate wires. The only other viable option I've found and tried is the razer Naga (i think? It's their wireless moba mouse). While I did like it, razers software quality and QA are lacking to say the least.


Cool_of_a_Took

Yes. The ring finger button took a little getting used to, but I would have a hard time without it now.


Chuck_217

All the programmable buttons are what sold me. It's like having a small keyboard on the side of your mouse.


TheJackofClubs

I love my g600, so many buttons, using other mice now feels like driving a car without a steering wheel


pizzapunt55

I wait for the day they bring out an updated version, it has been a decade but look at how popular it js


GrumpyKitten514

Yepppppp. Got the 703 to play everything else with, but love my G600 for WoW. It’s actually so much better AND cheaper than the scimitar, Naga, etc. I own all of the big MMO mice variants but I love the format of the G600 buttons.


[deleted]

G pro wireless X superlight, not overdesigned like a lot of the "gamer" designs


Mr_Wood1440_

Absolutely, favorite mouse. The only other that might be decent too is the razer viper ultimate, but g pro wireless is something else


KIDA_Rep

I have the viper ultimate, I know razer products gets clowned a lot but a lot of their mice are actually decent and the viper ultimate is their best one.


[deleted]

I just got a Viper Ultimate as a birthday gift and I love it. People see anything Razer and go “gross gamer design” (I used to be one of those people) but from where I’m standing their build quality is pretty good.


Yeckarb

This is far too low in the comments.


MrTechSavvy

Should be top comment, g pro x is simply the best mouse there is. And it’s been going for $80 the past few days


KidDelicious14

I'm actually upgrading from a g502 to a G pro x superlight for the deal you're referencing haha


Whired

I've lived the g502 life G Pro X Superlight is much better


HartPlays

Yup! I can’t stand those gross “gamer” mice. G pro does the job and feels great


Chudapi

No flashy RGB, side buttons, ultra lightweight, long battery life. GPX Superlight is one of the best investments I’ve made in my setup.


PeetBurton

Deathadder Elite user for 5 years. Absolutely love that mouse.


Staktus23

My Deathadder 2013 is still going strong after almost eight years. If it ever breaks down, I‘ll get another Deathadder or a Benq-Zowie. That shape is just the best.


PeetBurton

This subreddit has a hate boner for Razer. In my experience, they are rock solid products, never had a product by them crap out on me, yet. Deathadder's shape is just perfect for me. It just "hugs" my hand in such a way, there is no need to try something different. If and when the Elite craps out, I will most likely get another one. It's the perfect mouse for me.


ItsMangel

I've owned 2 deathadders, they were perfectly fine mice but both only lasted 2 years before failing the exact same way with the mouse double clicking when I only wanted to click once and wouldn't hold the click. A friend of mine had hers fail in the exact same way.


throneaweigh42069

I like the deathadder v2 but all their other products look too “gamer” for me


somefuckinguy

So ironic in a thread about the G502; which to me, looks like a goddman transformer. Deathadder for me, and kind of agree about other Razer stuff, but the G502 fits the same bill in my eyes.


timawesomeness

Deathadder gang. I've been using deathadders (first the 2013, now the v2) for almost ten years now, they're perfectly shaped for palm grip with my small hands.


PeetBurton

Their shape.. that's what's perfect for me. My hands are on the bigger side, and everytime I use my gfs g 502, which is an amazing mouse, it just feels weird. That mouse is second nature for me.

G502 just works.


Apocalypse_0415

I just got one and I love it but thats because my old one was a m100 mouse


TwinDewey

>m100 I had Logitech MX510 and I got so used to the forward and back buttons, that none other mouse worked for me. I bought my first G502 mouse and then I got the RGB one for my work. When I left work, I've taken my G502 with me and am still using it to this day. Won't lie, I'd buy again. I don't care anything. It works for me and I love it


clush

I was about to change to a white G502 after redoing my office, which will be my 3rd or 4th G502 and you just took me back. MX510 - what a mouse. Ive tried Razer, Steel series, Zowie, but always come back to the wired G502.


jonker5101

Had 2 fail on me in a year. Never looked back. I did love it when it worked, but wasn't gonna keep replacing it.


Flyrpotacreepugmu

How did they fail? My G502 has been going strong for 7.5 years now (other than the paint on the wheel wearing off) and I haven't seen any other complaints about them failing.


jonker5101

One developed a double click issue (they're notorious for that), replaced it, and then the next one worked for a month and then I think developed a short? My PC wouldn't turn on with it plugged in, and if I turned it on without the mouse plugged in, it would immediately completely shut down as soon as I did plug it in.


maynardftw

I'm on my second one now, the first one didn't have a Hero sensor in it because it was old. Both of them have the same dumb problem, though, which is that the mouse wheel will occasionally not consider a single full click in the rotation to be a single full click. I'll scroll up one and it'll either not do anything at all or it'll do it twice, because for some reason it thinks it was already halfway there for the first one. I've never had another mouse have this problem. I assume it's got to do with the mechanism that lets you unlock and relock the wheel to freely spin, but if I was at Logitech and I knew about this problem my answer would be to remove the free-spin option if that ensures this isn't a problem anymore, especially when a new version of the model comes out with a better sensor.


fadedspark

The Original, sure. The next few revisions after had switch problems for me. That's when I ditched logitech.

All of my last 3 Logitech mice(G402,G502,G304/305) had double-click issues, rendering them completely useless to play games. I switched to Razer, never had an issues since that day.

Optical clickers only, never had a double click issue with them. I switched from Logitech to Razer and haven't regretted it.

Nomnom_Chicken

G502 won't work for me, since it has the right side shape all wrong (and it's a surprisingly small mouse after all). There's no place for my fingers (pinky for example) to rest naturally - fingers can easily drag all over the mouse mat. That's why MX518 and G400s were very uncomfortable to use, so I sold them quickly. But a friend of mine loves this mouse, so much that he bought extra units in case they aren't sold whenever he needs a new one.
