Logitech’s new wireless G502 Lightspeed gaming mouse is no brick, it’s a “mechanical miracle”
Logitech has unveiled a new gaming mouse. That’s an old mouse, but completely new, but not: the G502 Lightspeed. Yes, Logitech has finally created a wireless version of the classic G502, a mouse beloved by gamers, one of the most popular gaming mice in the world, and the rodent that launched a thousand ‘brick’ memes.
But that brings us quickly to arguably the most important point - despite the fact the new G502 Lightspeed is fully wireless, and optionally packs in the PowerPlay wireless charging tech, it’s actually lighter than the original design. The old G502 was a 121g mouse, ignoring the cable, and the Lightspeed version packs in a new sensor, a battery, and the wireless connection tech too, and yet comes in at just 114g.
“It’s a mechanical miracle,” as François Morrier, Logitech’s principal optical engineer says. That seems especially true as when Logitech asked existing G502 users what they might want from a wireless version they just asked for the exact same mouse but with every single bit of new technology the peripheral maker has created in the intervening years. No small feat.
