From Logitech's gaming brand 'Logitech G', the gaming mouse ' G502 X Plus ' was released on Thursday, November 24, 2022. The '

G502 X' series, which is a high-end model of the 'G502' that has been highly supported by gamers, includes the 'LIGHTFORCE' that combines the click feeling of mechanical switches and the high-speed and accurate click of optical switches, and the mouse sensor 'HERO'. 25K' is installed, and among them, the 'G502 X Plus' is characterized by being equipped with 'RGB lighting' that vividly colors the hands. I got such a high-end mouse, so I tried using it immediately.

'G502 X Plus Wireless RGB Gaming Mouse' is in a box like this.

I will open it immediately and check the contents. First of all, this is the G502 X Plus body.

USB cable. It is about 1.8 meters long.

LIGHTSPEED USB Type-A receiver.

Receiver extension adapter.

DPI-Shift button cover. I will explain how to use it later.

Documents such as instruction manuals and warranties.

There are 13 mouse buttons including left and right tilt mouse wheel.

The function of each button is as follows. If you use the official software '

Logicool G HUB ', you can change the function of the button as you like.

Looking at the main body from behind, it looks like this.

The buttons are concentrated on the index finger and thumb, and the right side is clean.

On the front, there is a USB port used for charging and wired connection.

The left side.

When I bought a gaming mouse made overseas, the size of my hand did not match, and it was an editorial staff member who had difficulty pressing some buttons, but the G502 X Plus accesses all buttons with the hand placed naturally. I was able to.

The DPI-Shift button, which is pushed with the tip of the thumb, can be removed by pulling it by hand.

By attaching the removed button in the opposite direction, you can change the position where your thumb touches it, so even people with large hands can say, 'I accidentally pressed the DPI-Shift button, and the mouse movement changed at an important point. !” is becoming less likely to occur.

You can also disable the buttons with the aforementioned DPI-Shift button covers.

At the bottom there are sensors, power switches and a round cover.

The cover is magnetic and can be removed by pushing the bottom to create a gap.

The removed cover can be replaced with a module for the wireless charging system '

POWERPLAY ' (sold separately). In addition, the receiver can be stored in the space inside, making it convenient to carry.

The actual weight is 105g. Wireless mice tend to be heavy due to the battery, but the G502 X Plus is lightweight.

I will actually use it. First, connect the USB Type-A terminal on the USB cable to the PC, connect the receiver extension adapter to the USB Type-C terminal, and set the LIGHTSPEED USB Type-A receiver there.

After that, slide the power switch on the main unit and turn on the power OK.

You can also use it by connecting the receiver directly to your PC, but Logitech says in its

quick start guide (PDF file) , 'By using a cable and an extension adapter, the connection is more stable, and when you need to charge the mouse. It makes it easier to access the cables.'

Among the 'G502 X' series, one of the features of the top model G502 X Plus is the RGB light that colors your hands.

In addition to the default light, it changes to 5 colors when the DPI is changed, so you can intuitively know what DPI profile you are currently using. Also, if you use the G HUB mentioned above, you can customize the mouse to your liking with about 16.8 million colors.

What I found interesting was the 'dual mode scroll wheel' function that changes the feel of the wheel. You can see how it is actually used from the following.

Precise scrolling is possible in 'ratchet mode' where the wheel rotates with a rattling sound and a firm response.

Then try switching modes.

Then, it became 'ultra high speed mode' which rotates lightly.

What I felt when I lightly touched the 'G502 X Plus' was that it was easy to use without any peculiarities. The body weighs just over 100g, and thanks to the low-friction

PTFE feet on the bottom, it moves very smoothly. The pointing accuracy is also high, and there is no lag or interruptions that are common with wireless mice, so you won't feel stressed. Therefore, it is a gem recommended for those who want to take this opportunity to introduce a gaming mouse and those who are thinking about switching from other gaming mice.

'G502 X Plus Wireless RGB Gaming Mouse' is available at Logitech's official store for 21,780 yen including tax, and is also available at Amazon.co.jp, and the price at the time of article creation was 19,800 yen including tax. . There are two colors, white and black.
