Price: £69 inc VAT from fave.co/2N1trluSome iteration of Logitech’s G502 mouse has been
on this list ever since it first released back in 2014,
and for good reason. It’s still, five years on, one of
the most comfortable mice I’ve ever used. It also
packs a tonne of buttons in smart places, with three
thumb buttons, two more arrayed along the side of
the standard left mouse button, and a tilt wheel. That
wheel also switches between notched and smooth
navigation modes, while the bottom pops off to
accommodate five 3.6g weights – although you
might not need them, given that the G502
already weighs 12g to start with. The hefty
weight is the sole complaint I’ve seen
levelled against the G502, breaching the
magic 100g standard preferred by some
FPS players. Personally I like a heavier
mouse, so to each their own.
The latest overhaul is 2018’s G502
