Logitech G502 Hero K/DA High Performance Gaming Mouse - Hero 25K Sensor, 16.8 Million Color LIGHTSYNC RGB, 11 Programmable Buttons, On-Board Memory - Official League of Legends KDA Gaming Gear

The sensitivity is brilliant, smooth, but the dpi hinders precision, at least for me. I might just be old. It is comfortable and Im enjoying having the challenge of using it gaming (tracking and scrolling are at minimum and Im still getting motion sickness). I dont plan on keeping it, but the experience is worth it. My old brain likes the neural pathways that its helping to build.

The Logitech G502 HERO K/DA is an excellent mouse for FPS games and everyday gamers. It has low click latency (almost no latency), and a wide customizable CPI range and adjustable polling rate for those likes to perfect it all. It also has 11 total programmable buttons, feels very well-made, high quality material, excellent finish, sleek design, and is quite comfortable if you can get a good grip on it. Unfortunately, due to its large size, it may not be the best option for people with small hands. PROS Very well-built and premium feel. Low click latency and excellent sensor performance. 11 different programmable buttons. Fully compatible with Windows and macOS. This K/DA edition is a great piece for collectors. CONS Large design may be uncomfortable for people with small hands. Stiff cable, may take some time to get it soften.

Its design is simplistic, but nice, I love the Blue-Black-White color scheme. Logitech software is very easy to use for DPI, key mapping, macros, and more. Very comfy in my somewhat big hands, very precise and lightweight, great for FPS titles. I feel zero input lag, and the flywheel scrolling its a great feature for my flying sim games, allows me to use the flywheel to apply my brakes.

Changed review since it turns out the DPI led had to be toggled, the packaging was still done badly though. Logitech should ship via a box...

I don’t play league but this is a great mouse with very cool design.

Externally, other than the colors and a thinner non-braided cable, this is identical to the venerable G502 Hero. Some forum posts suggest the K/DA G502 Hero and newer G502 Heroes have improved switches for the main buttons (hopefully resolving the double-clicking issue - more on that later), but there’s no way to tell without taking it apart and voiding the warranty. Side by side by side with my 2+ year old G502 Hero and a newer G502 Hero, the old switches do sound louder and feel more clicky, suggesting there has been a change. There are already plenty of articles out there if you want to get into the deeper technical aspects of the G502 Hero. From a usability standpoint: - In order to use the DPI shift button (or whatever function you assign to it), the one in front of your thumb, you’ll need to use a palm grip and/or have medium/large hands. I use a claw grip, have short fingers, and can’t reliably reach it. I don’t think it’s reachable at all with a fingertip grip. - Love the free scroll wheel, more so in regular use than gaming. Zipping up/down a lengthy page with a flick of a finger is *chef’s kiss*. I hate using mice without it. - The G HUB software has gotten a bit bloated over the years, previously taking up a lean 21.6 MB of RAM before the latest update, which ballooned it to about 110 MB. However, you can use the mouse without G HUB running once you load your settings to the mouse’s on board memory. In comparison, Razer’s Synapse software (along with some mandatory “features” you can’t turn off) takes up about 149 MB, even if all you want is a static color for a keyboard backlight. - The blue plastic of the three thumb buttons doesn’t quite match the blue of the two buttons below the mouse wheel. From a quick glance, it’s not really noticeable, but upon closer examination (for review purposes), the color is slightly off. Not sure if that’s intentional, or if a batch of buttons slipped through QA. - I actually prefer the non-braided cable. It’s lighter and more supple, so ultimately less noticeable compared to the old thicker braided cable. In decades of gaming, mouse cables have never been a point of failure for me. I’ve been using a standard G502 Hero for a few years, and some things that’ll likely happen with this near identical version: - The rubber grips get a bit less grippy over time/use. Additionally, the grooves in them tend to collect gunk, especially if your hands get sweaty. Maybe a pattern with wider and/or rounded grooves (to minimize nooks and crannies and right angles) would help with that and/or make it easier to clean. Some modders add a bit of grip tape to fix this. - The dreaded double-clicking issue. If this K/DA version does indeed have better switches, this point may be irrelevant. Otherwise, if you dig around a bit, you’ll find this is not a rare occurrence with the G502 Hero and I’ve had it happen myself. Basically, the switches on the left/right mouse buttons have a tendency to fail, sometimes double-clicking near instantly, sometimes unclicking/re-clicking while you’re holding it (making things like selecting or drag&drop impossible), or sometimes not registering clicks at all. When it’s bad, the mouse is unusable. To be fair, Logitech support sent a replacement (for my old G502 Hero) with no hassle.

This Logitech G502 Hero K/DA High Performance Gaming Mouse - Hero 25K Sensor is more than just a re-skinned edition of one of their best gaming mice, and Ill explain why. My most used mouse is without of doubt an old G502 that I purchased in 2014 and used up until I replaced it in 2019 with a G502 Hero SE. This K/DA G502 Hero provides an overall much smoother experience when I use it for day to day tasks, and provides an equally great experience while gaming as well. I was pleased to see the annoying issue that plagued my time with the Hero SE, which would make it a pain to click and drag to select text. There was only one noticeable change that caught my eye right away, but it actually wasnt as much of an issue as I first thought, and that was the different material on the usb cable compared to the Hero SE which has a braided cable compared to the matte rubber/plastic coating that is on the K/DA version. Overall, this is a very snazzy looking and smooth performing entry into the G502 family. This mouse won me over as soon as I discovered it didnt suffer the bug that plagued my previous mouse, but I also appreciated the incremental improvements which continued to refine the experience. 5/5 stars.

A bit pricey but the art looks pretty beautiful and even has its own application to program the mouse

muy bueno

This is a great mouse for gaming. Plenty of macro options with generally convenient button placement for right handsers. I already have a black cordless option but wanted this one to go with my new all white build. The only drawback is the cord as it gets in the way and I do find it limiting after years of gaming with the wireless G502. Not sure why this color configuration does not include a wireless option. 4/5 stars for this reason only. Otherwise, my favorite gaming mouse.
