Our Verdict

Logitech G502 LIGHTSPEED

Logitech G502 X PLUS

The Logitech G502 X PLUS is the successor to the Logitech G502 LIGHTSPEED. The new PLUS is somewhat lighter, has higher-quality mouse feet, and has a greatly extended advertised battery life with its RGB lighting off. It also has better click latency and now features hybrid optical-mechanical switches rather than the standard switches used on the LIGHTSPEED.
