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 SystemLogitech’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 them106 TECH ADVISOR • NOVEMBER 2019
