Frequently Asked Questions

Does the G502 X Lightspeed come with a USB receiver?

Yes. Logitech notes the USB receiver ships inside or alongside the mouse, so LIGHTSPEED wireless works out of the box with no separate purchase.

How is this different from the original G502?

It keeps the G502 shape but adds LIGHTFORCE hybrid optical-mechanical primary switches, the HERO 25K sensor, an updated LIGHTSPEED protocol with 68 percent faster response, a redesigned dual-mode scroll wheel, and lighter thin-wall molding.

Do I need to buy the POWERPLAY mat?

No. POWERPLAY compatibility is optional and the mat is sold separately; without it you charge over the included cable and rely on the mouse's onboard battery.

Is it good for claw grip or only palm grip?

Both. The DPI-shift button is reversible and removable specifically so you can reposition or delete it depending on grip style and thumb placement.
