I own a G502, and I like how easy it is to scroll on "free scroll" mode. The only problem I have with it is lately it tends to "double-scroll" until I cycle the DPI back to what I have it on somewhat often, and there's no driver updates, so it's not that.

Hi Linus and team. Great video. However, be careful about showing Amazon pages (especially reviews) on-screen. I was almost banned by the Amazon affiliate program for using exactly those things in videos on my channel. It apparently breaches their terms of service. Wouldn't want you guys to get chucked out. Cheers for the content, Ben.

I looked through hundreds of listings before buying this one and after a couple years with it, I find it obvious why that model got so popular, even with competition on the specs. When you looked at most models you immediately started to find crazy patterns. The ones that are solely focused on flashiness and lights but fails easily or has poor sensor registering, the ones skimped on quality for the sake of specs on paper, but you regret it the moment you unpack and connect it, the minimalistic ones to the point you really wouldn't call it gaming mouse any more, and the miniatures designed for hobbit hands or people that move the mouse entirely with their fingertips without palm contact.

Original G502 owner here, I don't want it to ever die. You can even buy after market skids for when they wear out. đź‘Ś

Honestly, I think people underestimate how impactful the free-spinning (or Hyper-scrolling) mouse wheel is for experience as you are scrolling through spreadsheets, code, or documents. You can scroll slowly like a touch pad and then go fast as heck and then slow back down with minute control. Sure you could probably use the scroll bar or keyboard shortcuts, but it's right there in your hand. Cannot go back to another mouse without it. Bought my G502 from Best Buy and I will use it until it dies and probably buy another one.

I use it in music production. There's so many Ctrl-click/Alt-click/Ctrl-Alt-Shift-Windows-click shortcuts in Pro Tools, having the modifier keys mapped to the thumb buttons is such a workflow boost. I also like the weights, not because it's heavier though, but because placing weights in the front shifts the center of gravity to actually make it feel lighter, at least for my grip. On top of that, I've had it for nearly 5 years now and I can't tell a difference from when it was new. Those factors, plus the ergonomic layout, has me a very happy customer. When/if this wears out, I'm getting another one.

Dear Linus Tech Tips: I was disabled by a routine surgery and have been out of working in the computer industrry for almost 15 years now. I still love computer gaming and have passed that lover for technology and gaming on to most of my children. (We had 7 kids, lol.) But I digress. I used to purchase antivirus software as a family license so I would know that even if my kids stumbled (or skipped into headfirst, teenagers, lol) troublesome websites the whole house would still be protected from viruses. At one time AVG was my go to but their prices seemed to catch up with McAfee's and that was a deal breaker. Then we switched to AVAST, a startup company that was hungry and was great with big deals on their multi-license copies (small business or family) and they were relatively inexpensive so decent price for multi-device protection for the whole fam. But just last year when we were between homes due to Covid I purchased AVAST and immediately regretted it. I couldn't play a game without getting multiple ads asking me to constantly upgrade to some new version that would make my life better to the point of taking my digital dog for a walk.... and I had purchased the full protection deal at the beginning because I wanted to make sure my kids were protected on their phones, tablets and PC's. Bui it seemed like they merged with Norton Antivirus and started their upselling practices and I was getting more pop-ups from them than I ever did from spyware and adware. I finally ditched them, even before the subscription was over to switch to the less ubiquitous and a whole lot less annoying Windows Defender. Where do I go now for antivirus? Who can I use out there that isn't going to ad-nag me to death for the next year but will provide decent antivirus and adware/malware protection for the whole family? Does that even exist anymore today or am I old and lost in a bygone era?

This mouse is the definition of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" 🤷‍♂️ it feels great in the hand and it isn't that heavy as some people like to complain about it
@NightfallSentinel
Logitech has the best customer support I've ever had the pleasure of dealing with. They send out replacements with expedited shipping. It's so refreshing in a world where companies with shockingly terrible customer support like Razer exists.
@DiniduPerera
I know most mice with a generous amount of macro buttons are usually labeled “MMO” or “gaming” but I can’t tell you how awesome those things are from a professional productivity standpoint. I spend a lot of time in Outlook at work and have multiple quick actions programmed to the macro g-keys on my G604. At home, they’re great for quickly swapping between tools in Photoshop, Lightroom, etc.
@BloodTideGaming
For anyone that thinks the 502 has just too much for you... try the 402. I still think its a great mouse with not so much of all the bells and whistles but still enough features to make it a great gaming mouse.
@ZebronZee
I have been using G502 Proteus Core since late 2014. Everyday I wait for it to show any faults so that I can finally replace it, but this thing is so well made that even in 2022 my G502 is still going strong. Looks like the Logitech reliability is helping me save money since my older mouse was a Razer Mamba 2012 which started showing severe tracking and clicking issues within the first year and just died in the following months.
@mattzxo
I’ve had the mouse for around 4 or 3 years, and have literally had zero issues so far, and I use it almost every day now. I’ve heard of all those issues yet never experienced so I guess I just got lucky.
@Zer0ducksgiven
Had my G502 since 2015, has survived over 1000 hours of overwatch, over 700 of CS GO and hundreds in other games. I love the shape, love the feel and it still works just as well as it did when I bought it 7 years ago. I have owned 3 razer mice since in an attempt to upgrade from the G502 and all failed within 6 months. I always go back to the old G502.
@neayt9952
I've had my G502 for over 6 darn years, and it still works flawlessly. I`ve almost worn through the cable and buttons, but the mouse itself still works pretty much perfectly
@themalcore_
I loved my G502SE. I bought it because it has a good amount of thumb buttons and the adjustable weights are great. The two-mode scroll wheel is really convenient and the on-the-fly adjustable DPI can come in handy. It really has just about every feature you can find in a gaming mouse.
@cidal_dank1793
I've had mine for years, and its still going strong. Literally thousands of hours of gaming on it. I love how it feels in my hand, the scroll wheel, the programmable dpi and buttons, the weight. It just does it for me 100%.
@MatzWerk
I bought this mouse mainly because of the scroll wheel. Honestly, why is this not a thing at other brands? For programming or Excel work this scroll wheel is absolutely king.
