logitech g502b

   When we were initially informed about the G502 several months ago we had no idea of what optical sensor they were going to use so it's certainly a pleasant surprise to see that they used their very own Delta Zero IR-LED sensor. Of course since i haven't used every single gaming sensor in the market i don't know if this sensor is indeed the most accurate one currently in the market but what i can say is that aside being extremely fast it's also very accurate and by default it offers virtually no acceleration (much like the latest Avago sensor). Of course the tune feature that allows the sensor to auto-configure itself according to the quality and type of your mousepad surface is unique and for that i truly hope that Logitech continues to improve the sensor for use with future models. The design may seem a bit weird but it actually offers very good grip with excellent glide properties although chances are that it may take a while for someone to get used to it. Moving to the weight system this is a feature that will not be needed for most people since the G502 is already quite heavy but it's always good to have something like that just in case. The two slight issues i had while testing the G502 were the fact that you can't customize the liftoff distance and that the scroll wheel is way too soft (almost feels that it's floating in the air).

 

   Right now the G502 Proteus Core Tunable Gaming Mouse retails for USD79.99 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for 79.95Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de) so it's obviously not ment for casual users and gamers. However we can't call it very expensive either since there are currently far more expensive gaming mice in the market some of which even surpass the USD100/100Euros mark. That being said the G502 may not be perfect (we've yet to find the perfect gaming mouse) but thanks to its speed, tracking accuracy, available buttons, weight system and surface tune feature it seems to be the jack of all trades and that's why it grabs our Platinum Award.
