The Physical Characteristics comparison is just a viewable representation of the devices' length, width, height and weight. Sensor, Latency and Other Features are, instead, computed within the range 0-->100, taking into account if the variable is getting better with the increase of its value (e.g the highest max DPI, the better it is) or vice versa (the lowest Click Latency, the better); for example, a score of 50 for both devices means they are equal, scores of 70 and 30 mean that first one better. So, the data are homogeneous to provide immediate meaning, higher bar(s) means better value(s). An empty graph means that there is not enough data to compute that comparison (one value or both are missing).
Aiding our visitors to the final choice between the mice.
This final paragraph will help you in the decision making process, between Logitech G Pro X Superlight and Logitech G502 Hero, and in selecting the mouse that is performing better and best suits your needs. We are aware that every user has own needs and preferences, due to this each mouse could be better for some features and worse for other ones. The purpose of the text is to highlight this possibility and generate an "overall score" for a purchase decision.
First of all, both mice share the same utilization aim, Gaming mouse. The first one is younger, 4 years old, being released in the 2020, while G502 Hero is older, 6 years old, being released in the 2018. The production age difference is 2 year(s). This makes the G Pro X Superlight a bit more attractive in terms of freshness.
• Dimensions, Weight, Ergonomy 📐⚖️🫳
When it comes to evaluate mice dimensions, you should take into consideration the size of your hand and check if it would properly fit it or not. In this case, you should check which mice would be the fittest. Compared to G502 Hero mouse, G Pro X Superlight is ~7.00 mm (or ~0.28 in) Shorter, ~11.50 mm (or ~0.45 in) Narrower and ~Same Height, which makes it, overally, 18.5 mm (or -0.73 in) moderately smaller and better suiting tinier hands.
Considering the weight, Logitech G Pro X Superlight is 48% lighter, a difference of 58.00 g (0.13 lbs), which can be considered very significant. We do not express a particular preference for heavier or lighter mice, being this a completely personal objective preference. However, G502 Hero offers weight personalization (addable weights or editable shape) while G Pro X Superlight does not.
Regarding the Ergonomy, G Pro X Superlight is meant to be Ambidextrous while G502 Hero is Right-handed. They offer different grip, Palm grip, Claw grip, Fingertip grip by G Pro X Superlight while G502 Hero has Palm grip; the first one can be considered more adaptable, with a greater number of grip possibilities equal to 3 instead of the 1 offered by the other one.
• Sensor and Latencies 🐭⏱️
Let's now compare Logitech G Pro X Superlight sensor with the one of Logitech G502 Hero. The two mice share the same sensor technology, that is Optical, but different sensor model: Hero 25K equipped by G Pro X Superlight and HERO 16K used by G502 Hero. It is very important to say that, although tech and model sometimes coincide, the assembly and composition of interior circuits might result in different specs and latencies.
Resolution, Max Acceleration and Max Tracking, Polling Rate and Lift Off
The mice offer different resolution range (DPImax - DPImin), the G Pro X Superlight provides 25500 DPI/CPI, while G502 Hero offers 15900 DPI/CPI, meaning that the first one has larger range. Consider picking up the sensitivity range that mostly suits your needs, depending on the aim (Gaming/Business) but also the kind of game you are going to use it mostly (e.g. FPS is different than RTS or MOBA). If you need a higher precision mouse, meaning that for the same length of shift the mouse will recognize more movement, "reading" more dots per inch and, in other words, will move faster on the screen, G Pro X Superlight is offering 38% better Max Resolution, 9600 More DPI/CPI.
As for the Maximum Acceleration, which measures the maximum pull force in G(s) that the sensor can trace before inconsistencies occur, the models show equal values, 40 G. Going on, taking into account the Maximum Tracking Speed, the velocity (inches per second) that the mouse can move at before it starts to loose track and cause anomalies, they have the same spec of 400 IPS. Take into account that max G and max IPS mostly affect activities requiring very fast mouse shift, together with the shift latency that we will analyse further in this section.
They have a Polling Rate of 1000 Hz, in other words they report data to computer 1 time every 1.00 ms. Lastly, the Lift Off distance of G502 Hero shows an higher value, 2 mm, a significant difference of 0.80 mm. Anyway, they do not offer adjustable lift off distance through software.
Click and Shift Latencies
Logitech G Pro X Superlight has lower click latency than Logitech G502 Hero, a not so small difference of 2.90 ms, 49% better Click Latency, which can be evaluated slightly significant, in terms of compared performance. Anyway, we feel it is important to underline that the differences in latencies are often more perceptible from the machine's point of view rather than human's, reducing the real impact of these values and deviations. The G Pro X Superlight has lower shift latency than G502 Hero, a small difference of 0.88 ms, 11% better Shift Latency, which can be evaluated not really significant, in terms of comparison of values.
• Other Features 📎
Let's now have a look, finally, to the general features of the two mice. They are equipped with different Switch Technology, G Pro X Superlight has Omron d2fc-f-7n(G1) while G502 Hero has Omron; moreover, the lifespan of first mouse is 20 millions clicks while the second is 500 millions clicks, 60% worse Lifespan, a difference of 30 millions clicks that can be evaluated very significant. The Feet Material is different, G Pro X Superlight (PTFE) and G502 Hero (PTFE 250 kilometers). Considering the available Number of Buttons, 5 offered by first mouse and 11 offered by the second one, a moderate difference of 6 that can be considered important or not depending on the utilization purpose. In the end, the features offered by Logitech G Pro X Superlight are On board Memory, DPI Indicator, while Logitech G502 Hero is giving On board Memory, DPI Indicator, RGB Lighting, Customizable RGB, Adjustable Scroll-Wheel Resistance.
