Logitech G502 X Lightspeed review: no RGB lights, same price

[StringTheory32]

Logitech's popular gaming mouse now comes without RGB lighting. Tom's Hardware has reviewed the G502 X Lightspeed, which lists at $159.99, the same price as the RGB G502 X Plus, though it was spotted for $80.59 at Newegg and $106.99 at Walmart

It weighs 102g and is larger than Razer's Basilisk V4 Pro. It ships with Logitech's Hero 25K sensor, with a firmware upgrade to the Hero 44K sensor promised but not available at review time

Battery life is rated at 140 hours, about 10 more than the RGB model. It connects with a 2.4GHz wireless dongle or a USB-C cable, has no Bluetooth, polls at 1,000Hz and has 11 programmable buttons

The review praised the battery life, button placement and planned sensor upgrade. Downsides were the large size, the price and a stiff, loud scroll wheel in tactile mode

Charging the same price for a model without lights seems odd, so the discounted prices are the ones to look for. Longer battery life is a real benefit of dropping RGB. The G502's shape has a loyal following, so plenty of gamers will be tempted

Do you care about RGB on a mouse? And what is your favourite gaming mouse?
