Our Verdict
Logitech G502 HERO
Logitech G403 HERO
The Logitech G403 HERO and the Logitech G502 HERO perform almost identically since they have the same sensor. However, the G403 is better because it's lighter, and it has higher-quality cable and feet. On the other hand, the G502 has more buttons and programmable inputs, and the scroll wheel has a free-scrolling mode and L/R tilt inputs.
