Some 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

Hero, so named for the sensor inside.

Logitech’s replaced the beloved

PWM3366 with its new flagship Hero

sensor, designed to mimic the top-tier
