Logitech is the bane of peripherals, scummy Swiss fucks resting on laurels of Reddit recommended posts and "VFM" endorsements from a decade ago to peddle maximum corner cutting trash.
They're probably all sitting at Davos with Peter Thiel and the Pope's choir boys giggling "ve vill make ze goyim pay for ze plastic scheiße", the Albanian cartel of Zurich should hold their asses for ransom and establish Alpine Illyria. Every factory in China that manufactures their e-waste must be seized by the PLA and retooled to make patriotic graphic cards to feed Deepseek-san, every worker liquidated into a slurry and fermented into biodiesel to fuel the Chinese Century.
Enter the G502 Proteus.
Back in 2014, this was THE gaming mouse, you couldn't escape it. Between Razer trash and expensive esports peripherals, the quality it offered was unmatched. Posting just a photo of its box and announcing you bought it would get you to the front page of reddit, recommending it was so universal that the collective zeitgeist kept doing so even after the future editions fucked everything up.
Sadly, mine was stolen out of my backpack some years ago while travelling in the Neo-Brazilian third world shithole known as the United States, but it was so good I bought another one.
Enter the G502 Hero
This piece of plastic HIV has a newer sensor taken from their new line, but everything that made the OG G502 was made cheaper and shittier. The switches are tinny plastic tabs that feel terrible and are very easy to break, the scroll wheel and especially the middle click are notorious for breaking completely within a year and warranty won't help you. You'll start getting double clicks and false held LMB when you clicked once. The rubber on the surface peels and melts away, the bottom cover is weak magnetic contacts that come off while you use it.
And the cornerstone in the monument of cost cutting
THIS FUCKING CABLE
Whereas the original mouse had a thick braided paracord that you could garotte someone with, they changed it for some absolute garbage flimsy insulation thinner than my dick and with the structural integrity of an African bridge. It DISSOLVES IN YOUR HANDS if you dare to touch it, it has zero protection, so it frays on both ends just from normal use. If you dare try to wrap it and carry the mouse in a backpack, it'll be shredded.
Logitech said the change to the cable was to "reduce friction", motherfuckers your mouse is the size of a brick and weighs more than the average enby, it's made for people that want to grip the fuck out of their mouse, not do CSGO fling lightweight memes, friction was never a problem for anyone.
STOP RECOMMENDING THIS MOUSE. LOGITECH IS NOT WHAT IT WAS. I STILL SEE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR IT ONLINE DUE TO INERTIA FROM THE OLD G502
I coped. Within the year, the middle click was broken. I didn't need it. Just remap it. More copium, the electrical tape would keep the cable together. It didn't matter that it sometimes double clicked, surely I'd have lost that game anyway even without that. Full-mask copium inhalation system. I just had to hold it the right way, and it wouldn't disconnect. 24/7 copium insulin pump.
It finally stopped working after 3 years, the cable gave in. In the middle of a ranked Dota game too, I couldn't even abandon for the sake of my team, couldn't move the cursor. Had to do the doomer Napoleon computer shutdown.
After 3 years I can cast this piece of shit into Mount Doom, spend double the price on some chinkshit riced esports mouse, and find peace.
Fuck Logitech.

Fuck Logitech.
