Logitech G502 Gaming Mouse Receives an Upgrade
Logitech G, a brand of Logitech, today announced the Logitech G502 HERO Gaming Mouse, an upgraded version of the iconic Logitech G502 Gaming Mouse.
Retaining the same iconic shape as the original, the new mouse has been updated with the latest technologies, including Logitech G's next-generation HERO (High Efficiency Rated Optical) 16K sensor, the highest performance and most accurate sensor available today. Coupled with Logitech G's exclusive LIGHTSYNC RGB technology, 11 programmable buttons, five optional weights and braided cable, the world's best-selling gaming mouse just got even better.
"The original G502 is a fan favorite, but we've developed some incredible sensor technology since it first launched," said Ujesh Desai, vice president and general manager of Logitech Gaming. "Adding HERO 16K to G502 makes it even more awesome, and we think people are going to love it."
The ultimate sensor for speed, accuracy and responsiveness, the Logitech G502 HERO boasts Logitech G's industry-leading HERO 16K sensor, the highest performing and most efficient gaming sensor Logitech has ever made. Featuring an all-new lens and updated tracking algorithm to deliver ultra-precise tracking with no acceleration, smoothing or filtering over the entire DPI range, Logitech G's revolutionary HERO 16K sensor is capable of exceeding 400 IPS and delivering 16,000 DPI tracking with pixel-precise accuracy.
Each aspect of the Logitech G502 HERO was built to adjust to different styles of gameplay. The mouse has 11 buttons, programmable through Logitech Gaming Software (LGS), to customize commands and macros, adjustable weight system with five 3.6g weights and a dual-mode hyper scroll. Lighting can be personalized across approximately 16.8 million colors using Logitech G's LIGHTSYNC RGB technology. Onboard memory stores up to five profiles, so you can take your customized settings with you.
With the same iconic design as the original, the Logitech G502 HERO is the ultimate in comfort, with textured rubber side button grips and an updated braided cable for optimal feel and performance through long gaming sessions. The mouse's upgraded mechanical switch, developed in partnership with Omron, delivers extreme performance and a 50M click durability. The overall weight of the Logitech G502 HERO, and the mouse's center of balance can be adjusted based on the placement of the adjustable weights.
Pricing and Availability
The Logitech G502 HERO Gaming Mouse, available in black, is expected to be available at global retailers in October 2018 for a suggested retail price of $79.99.

The sensor was already perfect. Not sure why this one is... more perfect than perfect. The only thing to add to the sensor that would be a real enhancement would be support for higher polling rates (USB 3 supports that, I think?), which are useful for 240Hz monitors. Not for input lag or anything (it's already ultra-low at 1000Hz), but for the frame rate / refresh rate aliasing effect you can get that can sometimes result in some tiny microstutter if you look really closely.
But other than that, more of the same. Which is fine. It was a good mouse to begin with. But it's not an upgrade for people who already own a 502.

It'd be awesome if it got a working left click. I had two and both left clicks would stick to my finger no matter how dry it was, spring back, and make an obnoxious loud "boing" sound like a spring. After looking into it, both the original Core version and the new Spectrum version could have that issue.

Both buttons do that for me. Didn't notice it. Until now. And now I can't un-notice it. So, thanks for that
