Logitech has announced the latest update to its popular line of gaming mice with the G502 X. The G502 X line consists of three models:

• G502X Wired Mouse – $79
• G502 X Lightspeed Wireless Gaming Mouse – $139
• G502 X Plus Wireless Gaming Mouse – $159

The new mice retain the form factor of previous G502 models, but Logitech promises a variety of advanced technologies, including Logitech’s new Lightforce hybrid optical-mechanical switches.

Ujesh Desai, Vice President and General Manager of Games at Logitech, said:

We reimagined the iconic G502 with design and engineering updates that elevate the legendary gaming mouse into a new era of gaming. With lighter materials and cutting-edge technology, the new G502 X promises to continue the G502 tradition of ultimate performance and total control.

Lightforce switches are the main feature. Lightforce’s goal is to combine the speed and reliability of optical switches with the actuation response of mechanical switches. Lightforce uses a galvanic contact plate that functions as a mechanical switch in unison with an optical switch. The result is low-latency actuation with a crisp, tactile mechanical click.

All G502 X models include a removable, reversible DPI shift button to accommodate different hand sizes and grip styles. The redesigned scroll wheel promises increased stability and reduced weight with smooth and hyper-fast infinite scroll modes and precise ratcheting modes.

The G502 X also comes with the Hero 25K DPI sensor, which offers 1:1 accuracy at the sub-micron level without applying smoothing, filtering, or acceleration.

The Lightspeed and Plus variants are compatible with Logitech’s Lightspeed wireless protocol that allows users to connect two Lightspeed devices to a single receiver. The G502 X Plus includes Lightsync RGB with a customizable 8-LED lighting strip.

All G502 X models are available in black and white color schemes and can be pre-ordered at LogitechG.com.
