Our Verdict
Logitech G502 HERO
Logitech ERGO M575
The Logitech G502 HERO is a great wired gaming mouse, and the Logitech ERGO M575 is a great ergonomic trackball mouse for office use. The G502 HERO is lighter, has a wider CPI range, a much higher polling rate, significantly better click latency, onboard memory, and a scroll wheel that unlocks for free scrolling and has L/R tilt buttons. On the other hand, the MERGO M575 connects wirelessly with a USB receiver and has a trackball. Both mice are best-suited for claw and palm grips, but neither mouse is suitable for smaller hands using any grip type.
