Rank #8 in Best Gaming Mouse 2026: 10 Ranked on Weight, Not DPI
Logitech G502 X PLUS Lightspeed Wireless RGB Gaming Mouse
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The G502 X PLUS is the wireless flagship of the shape that tops this ranking, with the listing naming 13 buttons, a LIGHTSPEED wireless link, RGB lighting and a quoted 37 hour battery in black plastic, compatible with PC, laptop and tablet.
37 hours is the compromise of putting RGB lighting into a wireless mouse: the lights cost battery, and it is roughly a fifth of the 250 hours the cheaper G305 quotes. For a mouse at this price the trade is deliberate, and the 13 buttons keep the G502's binding options intact. At the time of collection it carried 2,548 ratings at 4.5 stars. Everything here comes from the Amazon listing rather than our own testing.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“As a G502 user of 10 years, I was pretty dubious approaching the redesign. The G502 is the best mouse I've ever used and this new version has some big shoes to fill.First thing I noticed is the refined shape and the new pattern on the side grips. It's a lot more comfortable and hopefully more durable. The grips wearing off is one of the first issues I experienced with my previous G502 so here's to hoping. I do really enjoy the fact the thumb button now stretches back (can swap this to old style if needed) as it's a lot easier to press. The only button I found harder to press was the back button at the side which has moved a little. I can no longer push my thumb up as easily to trigger that. Not a big issue, but I did notice it.The Hero sensor seems great. It's incredible precise and accurate, had no issues at all there. The wireless seems to be latency free and the battery life with RGB enabled is several days at least. Extra kudos here for Logitech FINALLY moving to USB C. Took far too long but at least it's done now. The RGB strip is also a nice improvement and very customisable in G Hub with patterns and colours. Easy to match to my rigs RGB.One difference I did notice is that the clicks are quite loud, and the left and right clicks sound distinct from one another. This isn't an issue for me but if you're very sensitive to noise I'd watch out for that. I think they feel great in use though. I assume the sound difference is design related.Overall this is just an improvement overall to the previous G502. Would happily recommend.”
Verified purchase“Very lightweight, extremely durable (I've dropped it many times, including from 3 feet off the ground onto a hardwood floor and there is not a single problem.Best gaming mouse, especially with the value for money. Great battery life and the tracking is spot on.Oh and it looks cool :)”
