GAMING SPECIAL

performance of its predecessor while being slightly

more power efficient. That latter point doesn’t matter

much here because... well, it’s a wired mouse. Hero

is excellent though, seemingly just as precise as its

forbear, so there’s really no downside in buying the

latest version – especially since the G502 Hero also

adds Omron switches, rated for 50 million clicks (as

opposed to 20 million on the former model). The

slimmer cable is a welcome improvement as well,

less prone to kinks or gathering dust.

That’s it, really. Not much changed for 2018,

but not much had to. Here’s to five more years of

Logitech G502 dominance.

Best wireless gaming mouse

Logitech Powerplay Wireless Charging System

Logitech’s G502 Lightspeed (£129 from fave.co/2Zcyg21)

is absolutely the best mouse on the market. Not the

best wireless mouse, but the best mouse. Logitech

managed to keep everything people loved about the

original wired G502, but cut the cord – and reduce the

weight. It’s a minor miracle of engineering. But let’s

take the broad view here, lest this entire article end up

recommending different versions of the same mouse.

I can only really recommend the G502 Lightspeed

alongside Logitech’s Powerplay technology anyway.

It’s the perfect companion, a mouse pad (£109

from fave.co/2Z1N4jP) that charges your mouse

while you’re using it – without wires. It uses inductive

charging (similar to the tech used in phones) to trickle-

charge compatible mice even as you move them
