Our Verdict

Logitech G502 HERO

EVGA X12

The EVGA X12 and the Logitech G502 HERO are gaming mice designed for different uses. The G502 is designed to be versatile enough for multiple gaming genres. It has a right-handed shape and three additional buttons overall. Its scroll wheel also unlocks for a free-scrolling mode and has left/right inputs for horizontal scrolling. On the other hand, the EVGA is significantly lighter and intended more for fast-paced, competitive games. It has a true ambidextrous shape with a pair of side buttons on either side, making it a good choice if you're right- or left-handed. It also has a more flexible cable and a higher maximum polling rate of 8000Hz.
