The shape is a little funkier than I was expecting (sticks out a little too far up in the back for my taste) but overall fits my hand better than the Rival did. The logitech wireless tech is the real deal.

The G502 is by no means bad, though. You could always get a Logitech LIGHTSPEED wireless mouse and/or the POWERPLAY system, and then keep the G502 for backup or re-sell it.

My Logtiech G5 was a beast. Scroll wheel ended up dying though so I said gently caress it I'll go wireless with an MX Master. I bought my G5 new and it lasted about a decade. The MX Master is hosed already. I've had it two years (and it only has a 1 year warranty) and everything works fine! Except the sensor to move it. Tried all the troubleshooting steps, different receiver, cycling power, different PCs, etc. Nada. Logitech still makes great mice. But hosed I'm pissed that an AU$100 mouse lasted 2 years. At this stage I'm debating getting a MX Master 2S (I loved the feel of the MX) and possibly dealing with it dying in a short time, or going another route. And no, I'm not opening it up to check wires or some poo poo. It cost enough that I should've gotten more use than this without needing home hackery.

I plan to talk to the retailer (JB Hifi) but there's no guarantee I'll get anywhere. Nothing I have found specifies a given timeframe for a warranty except "reasonable expectations" which could be argued both for me that 2 years is poo poo or against because computer poo poo is upgraded all the time. I guess I'm more pissed that I have to deal with this at all.

I think you can argue that you expect a $100 mouse to last 2 years. Computer peripherals generally don’t die. They might play the “only $100” card but it’s a mouse, that’s high on the price scale

I haven't used the tilt functionality, but pressure sensitive keybinds and on the fly profile switching are super useful. The software is actually a joy to use. Better than razer by a mile. Not as refined as logitech, but seems to be as powerful, if not more so. Pretty comfy, though I ended up playing with a bunch of different combos of button height and length before I found some that worked for me. I was worried at first that I wouldn't have enough keys to bind, but now I'm looking for things to bind to my left over buttons. Do you have specific questions?

It looks kinda "cheap" in the photos that I saw, but that could just be the lighting and/or paint job, and ultimately I don't care about aesthetics for something that's sitting under my hand the whole time. - Would you say it's worth the discounted $100 price that I've seen it at a few times? I'm not averse to expensive mice (or I/O devices in general, considering what they are.) Thanks for your input!

astral posted:Looks like the G502 Proteus Spectrum is on sale at Walmart + Amazon for $38.75 Yes the scroll wheel is a little more difficult for me to click down but only when I have it in "fast scroll" mode but I have gotten used to it and yes the scroll wheel rattles a little bit if you shake the mouse back and forth. My only real complaint about the G502 is that it's not wireless. Why won't Logitech make a wireless version of the G502? Are they afraid it would cut into G903 sales?

They're still coasting on that reputation with us olds but it's not like that at all anymore. Physically I've not had a problem besides the inevitable necessary home repair on the LMB but somewhere between Windows 10 and Chrome (and FF) you can run into trouble with smooth scroll such that you can not scroll at all in either browser but you can scroll in explorer. So you end up doing a bunch of troubleshooting steps particular to a browser before you find out it's smoothscroll that's at fault. Then on the Logitech support forums someone says hallelujah my problem has been solved and the solution is to turn off the feature.

but also the problem with simply making the G502 wireless is that the G502 is already a heavy mouse and adding even more tech would put its weight into the MX Master league of heavy rear end mice that e-athletes wouldn't touch. I think that's why the modern Logitech gaming mice are so feature-bare, which is a shame.

It might be "correct" technique but if it's slowing you down or causing you errors, is it worth it? My typing style grew out of playing MUDs and other video games in my youth and it doesn't follow all the standard practices, but I can hit 140wpm in Typeracer so there's no particular reason I should relearn how to type. Getting off topic for the mouse thread though so I'll leave it there.

My OG razer abyssus (this guy: https://imgur.com/a/5c1lqZa) died on me after 8 years of abuse. I had developed a quick tilt and switch method with my thumb for DPI on the fly regarding the chat about dpi switches on the bottom. I ended up buying the Abyssus v2 for immediate budget reasons and because I like symmetrical mice and am happy with it. Having the DPI switch behind the mouse wheel feels odd to me but I do like that it is a hell of a lot more convenient for games where you need to switch more often but I can see miss hitting it being an issue and having to cycle through dpi settings rather than directly setting with a switch has an impact. If I didn't have to worry about the budget, I would have liked to maybe get a https://www.razer.com/ca-en/gaming-mice/razer-mamba-tournament-edition or https://www.hyperxgaming.com/en/mice/pulsefire-surge-rgb-gaming-mouse the latter being it just looks pretty and is symmetrical any have any experience with them? I have a shoebox of OG http://www.dansdata.com/images/moremouses/wmo440.jpg that work perfectly in storage somewhere from a relative who got all the leftovers from the IT people after things got upgraded at their govt. job every year or so, but those are sacred and must not be used.

Has anyone got feedback on the G Pro Wireless? It’s on sale for AUD$166 down from about $200-250 and I love the look, feature set and light weight of it but don’t know if the price premium truly justifies it over other offerings. My important features are: - light weight - at least 1 button each side - relatively clean form factor I don’t care either way for wireless. This would be my first leap into it, but I don’t like the idea of screwing around with batteries constantly. The original G pro, as I can tell, is actually quite a different mouse. The G502 doesn’t appeal, nor the G903. The 403, 603 and 703 look fine to me, but I don’t know whether their specs are that much worse. Also, any input on the build quality would be appreciated. I realise it’s a relatively new mouse so I don’t expect people to have seen a lot of wear on it, but understanding general build quality would be nice.

Nam Taf posted:G pro wireless Ok so lets start with a good source of info on this with this chill af mouse reviewer, Rocket Jump Ninja: Top 10 2018 (guess who wins) https://youtu.be/3_0UiUFwrXc Actual review: https://youtu.be/NeWRU92qMUQ Don't recall other reviewers who handle it the way he does. He knows what he's talking about and has a ton of fps experience. He can explain it better than I especially regarding the sensor. My personal experience with it loves this thing. It's weird how they managed to make a mouse that weighs only 77 grams while still remaining structurally sound. The buttons are all solid. It's fully ambidextrous, with the side buttons removable. They're all held in place with magnets but you wouldn't notice until you tried to pry them off. The shape is nice. It fits my hand really well. I wouldn't like a g903 myself. Too bulky and heavy for me I guess. Battery life is surprising when you add all the facts together. Since the battery is built in, you can't put your own brand in and use it for 200+ hours. Since its only 77 grams you already know its built in battery is teenie. And yet this mouse is efficient enough to last 60 hours if you disable the rgb lighting(which I hate personally). It also informs you of its rough charge level through some leds when you touch it for the first time in a while. And even when indicating itself as low it will still last 10+ hours so just enjoy doing what you do and plug it into your usb cord when you go to bed. You have to go out of your way to make this thing die in the middle of a frag session. If you've never gone cordless yet, this will feel weird for the best of reasons. You will notice the lack of cable drag. It's liberating. Even if you think you won't care, you will notice this. Sensor wise there isn't a lot to say, but that's a good thing. It goes up to 16k, has no quirks. It's as accurate as they come. If you miss a shot/click, it won't be because of this thing. The wireless tech they use makes it as reliable and fast responding as a corded mouse. No problems with interference or fluctuating response times. I don't know if I recommend it at the price I got it for everyone (150 euro) but that's simply because I decided to give it to myself as an expensive gift so I was willing to pay a premium. I also wonder how big of an upgrade this thing is when you already have something like a g305, which has a similar sensor, wireless tech and shape while having a much lower price.

I do wonder whether I wait a while and let the dust settle on that. Have you noticed anything?

I'll give the skinny on my personal experience with the G502 after using it for about 8+ months now: It's only 35 bucks at the moment but it's easily worth 90+ in my opinion. It is a mouse that sees a lot of use among esports pros - particularly in fortnite, as the multiple options for mouse-click bindings work fantastic for quick-building in that game. Its performance and accuracy in general is fantastic in all games though. Also - don't be put off by its weird looks. This thing feels the most natural of any mouse I've owned, with a nice form-factor curve that feels good to rest my thumb on. There's also a rubber grip on the opposite side to curl your fingers easily around. This mouse won't slide around in your hand, and feels always very steady. The buttons have a nice form factor to them as well, and there's a groove that also adds a point of feel-reference to your palm - this is a mouse that feels generally very good to hold in your hand. It also has a light display of 3 bars that indicate which of the 3 possible configurations you can customize the mouse in. It makes it easy for me to swap from my browsing to my fortnite keybinds/dpi to my general-gaming mousemode. It also comes with some weights you can remove or add to the mouse to adjust it to the level of stability you feel comfortable with. You seriously cannot go wrong with this mouse. Especially not at that price. Heck, I would even get it as a backup or secondary mouse at that price. astral posted:Looks like the G502 Proteus Spectrum is on sale at Walmart + Amazon for $38.75 Some slight truth but only just so. I had some initial problems as the wheel seemed a bit sensitive at first but eventually you get a feel for it and it stops giving you problems. The wheel itself has 3 separate click-bindings on it by the way. One each for clicking by pushing left and right on the wheel, and one for pushing down. I have bound my floors and ceilings in fortnite to the left and right clicks. For a little while I would accidentally place floors with a misclick but after a while I stopped having that problem after I got a feel for the wheel. You can also 'unlock' the mousewheel and roll it freely - since it's made of metal it can get some crazy momentum when you spin it - meaning you can spin it once to speedily scroll up or down to the bottom of a large page with one movement of your finger. When I feel like scrolling a bit more naturally that way, I often unlock it while browsing sometimes without really thinking about it.

Currently, I use a lovely dell 4-DPI-toggle 5 button mouse, so it'd be breaking new ground for me. This also makes me question whether I go to something halfway first. When RJN mentioned the overlapping buttons I immediately did a check on mine and noticed that I could make it happen if I really put my mind to it. In practice it didn't happen. But in theory I guess it could happen in the heat of the moment. Still, it's a premium product so I contacted Logitech support over it. Told them I really liked what I got overall, but that I did notice the build problem and how that's a bit of a pity in something that is considered top-of-the-line. they couldn't have been more chill about it. They first offered a g903 since its the same value. But it's a different beast, and I really like this one so I declined that offer. They had no problem offering a new g pro wireless, they just weren't sure which batches were affected and which were not. They just needed proof of purchase, and requested I held on to the original hardware in case they had questions. A few days later a replacement came in. That was weeks ago. They sent me a questionaire and I checked with them if they needed anything else because of how casual they were about it all. Nope, everything was in order now that I received my replacement mouse. I expected them to ask for the original. I still sort of do, so everything is neatly packed and ready. But all I'm getting is their newsletter.  E: I can confirm, the proteus is good. If it werent for the fact that I'm completely hooked on being cordless, I'd still use it on and off. I had to get used to the thumb rest, though. I'm used to having my thumb partially rest on the mat for small aim corrections, and the proteus forced me to adjust. Mindblast fucked around with this message at 12:48 on Nov 19, 2018 |
