Our Verdict

Logitech G502 HERO

Logitech G502 LIGHTSPEED

The Logitech G502 HERO is the wired equivalent of the Logitech G502 LIGHTSPEED. You can use the LIGHTSPEED wired or wirelessly with its USB receiver, but it doesn't support Bluetooth, while the HERO is a wired-only mouse. They have the same design and sensor, performing almost identically.
