Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The G502 HERO is the most reviewed mouse in this ranking and the listing explains the long run: a wired USB mouse with 11 programmable buttons, LED lighting, a metal enclosure and a black finish, compatible with consoles, laptops, computers and tablets, under the Logitech G brand.
Eleven buttons and a metal body are the two ends of its character: enough buttons to bind everything in an MMO, and a chassis that will not flex under a hard grip. That metal also makes it heavier than the ultralight mice elsewhere on this list. At the time of collection it carried 39,186 ratings at 4.6 stars. Everything here comes from the Amazon listing rather than our own testing.
How those 39,186 ratings break down
