The right plan
It is in all modesty that Logitech declares its famous G502 as being the gaming mouse best-selling in the world. With several advantages, the G502 has forged itself over the years, a place of choice on the desks of gamers around the world. In this latest version, the wired mouse embeds a hero sensor of 25,600 DPI to ensure the best performance. More than for its sensor, the G502 Hero stands out thanks to its sharp design, refined ergonomics and 11 programmable buttons. If the players of MOBA and of MMOs appreciate the number of macros available, FPS players meanwhile take advantage of its trigger “sniper” to adjust a shot with precision.
The Logitech gaming mouse retains its adjustable weight system allowing the mass and center of gravity of the field mouse to be varied in order to match individual preferences. Like any good gaming peripheral, the G502 SE is equipped with a RGB lighting allowing you to personalize your equipment and synchronize it with compatible devices via Lightsync. In this version “Special Edition“, the gaming mouse is adorned with a white edging of the most beautiful effect to contrast with the usual black.
Powerful and original, this Logitech gaming mouse is currently allowing itself to be cheaper than the standard version. Its price is currently benefiting from a great promotion on Amazon, changing it to €39.25, a big saving compared to its starting price of €89.99.

What alternative?
Logitech has a longstanding expertise in gaming peripherals, evidenced by the MX518, first bestseller of the brand. In 2005, the G502 did not yet exist and players opted for a so-called MX518. This field mouse has deeply marked the hearts of many gamers, which is why Logitech decided to bring out this mouse. Far from the G502 and its sharp lines, the MX518 relies instead on its comfortable design with curves.
If its timeless design remains unchanged, the MX518 has the right to a hero sensor of 16,000 DPI as well as wider runners ensuring better glide.
If you prefer the slightly more vintage style of this gaming mouse, know that it is currently on sale at the house of Baker. This reduction allows it to be touched at only €31.48, far from its launch price of € 59.99.
