This mouse replaces my 11 year old Logitech MX518 (bad cord), so the G502 had some big shoes to fill. Logitech makes very durable and precise gaming mice. The G502 carries on that tradition nicely. It fits well in my average size hand and is comfy. Tracking is accurate on my generic old mouse pad. I like the ability to store three different gaming profiles, and the "sniper" button for the thumb works like magic. That thumb button was my biggest concern with this mouse. I was afraid I would accidentally press it, but the thumb rest keeps that button just at the very end of my thumb, so no accidental presses yet. The buttons all feel sturdy and are easy to reach and press...except for the buttons that default to DPI adjust. Those feel weak. The weighted scroll wheel will continue to spin if you flick the wheel quickly. It'll spin even longer if the "clicker" is disengaged. I've not found a good reason to do this, but I'm sure someone will find it useful. Of course the lighting rocks, but adds nothing to the gameplay. The braided cord is pretty sweet and should help protect the cable from abrasions from the edge of the desk. I like the mouse fully loaded with all the weights. It glides easy, yet the weight keeps inadvertent movement to a minimum. A superb mouse so far, and would be a solid 5 stars of I didn't have a concern about those DPI adjust buttons. Based on my previous experience with Logitech mice, I expect the G502 to last many years.

One of the best wired mouse purchases you can make

Do you really NEED a cordless mouse? Really? Is your mouse ever more than two feet from your keyboard? These are questions I was asking myself before purchasing this mouse.
I needed a new mouse for my late 2015 iMac 27". The include "magic mouse" was an ergonomic nightmare. Sure, it looked great, but hours of use revealed it's ergonomic shortcomings. And, I never really benefited from the wireless aspect of the mouse.
I've never had a bad experience with a Logitech device in the past, so I immediately turned to them for a new mouse for that iMac.
The transformation has been incredible.
I have been using this mouse for just about one month now, and using the iMac is now much more enjoyable. The cursor is super accurate and predictable. The report rate is hands-down better than a wireless mouse. I enjoy the ability to switch between DPI resolution at the touch of a button. I can work in a photo editor with extreme precision, then switch to gaming without skipping a beat. Obviously, the iMac is not a heavy gaming computer, but I am considering swapping it with the ancient (but still very good) Logitech MX-518 currently on my Win10 gaming rig. I am THAT impressed.
Highly recommended for a DESKTOP computer.
For a laptop, you may want to look at some of the wireless offerings. In the laptop world, fewer cords is definitely better, but look for a high report rate.

Can you hear the high pitch noise that Logitech's Performance MX mouse makes?
I cannot hear anything coming from the mouse. My ears, however, are over 40 years old and have been subjected to years of playing in a rock band. ;)
