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 Cougar 700M Evo 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, 5 years old, being released in the 2019, while G502 Hero is older, 6 years old, being released in the 2018. The production age difference is 1 year(s). This makes the 700M Evo 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, 700M Evo is ~5.00 mm (or ~0.20 in) Shorter, ~8.00 mm (or ~0.31 in) Wider and ~2.00 mm (or ~0.08 in) Lower, which makes it, overally, 1 mm (or 0.04 in) different in size and not significantly influencing the choice based on own's hand size.
Considering the weight, Cougar 700M Evo is 13% lighter, a difference of 16.00 g (0.04 lbs), which can be considered moderately significant. We do not express a particular preference for heavier or lighter mice, being this a completely personal objective preference. However, both mice offer weight personalization (addable weights or editable shape).
Regarding the Ergonomy, both mice are meant to be used with your right hand. They offer different grip, Palm grip, Claw grip, Fingertip grip by 700M Evo 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 Cougar 700M Evo sensor with the one of Logitech G502 Hero. The two mice share the same sensor technology, that is Optical, but different sensor model: PMW3389 equipped by 700M Evo 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 700M Evo provides 15600 DPI/CPI, while G502 Hero offers 15900 DPI/CPI, meaning that the last one has slightly larger range. Consider picking up the one having 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). They are offering the same Max Resolution, 16000 DPI/CPI, meaning that for the same length of shift the mice will recognize the same amount of movement, "reading" equal dots per inch and, in other words, they will move with the same speed on the screen.
As for the Maximum Acceleration, which measures the maximum pull force in G(s) that the sensor can trace before inconsistencies occur, 700M Evo shows a better value, 50 G, a small difference of 10 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.
700M Evo has a Polling Rate of 2000 Hz, in other words it reports data to computer 1 time every 0.50 ms, while G502 Hero is characterized by 1000 Hz or an input every 1.00 ms, making this last one having 50% worse Polling Rate. Lastly, the Lift Off distance of G502 Hero shows an higher value, 2 mm, a significant difference of 0.80 mm. Anyway, 700M Evo offers adjustable lift off distance through software.
Click and Shift Latencies
At the moment there is no available data to compare the mice click latency, since the data of 700M Evo is missing. We apologize for the inconvenience, you can request priority data update through the contact page. However, G502 Hero has a click latency of 5.9 ms which can be considered quite decent, compared to a medium quality mouse. 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. At the moment there is no available data to compare the mice shift latency, since the data of 700M Evo is missing. Contact us to request priority data update. However, G502 Hero has a shift latency of 8.09 ms which can be considered quite decent, compared to a medium quality mouse.
• Other Features 📎
Let's now have a look, finally, to the general features of the two mice. They are equipped with the same Switch Technology, Omron; moreover, they have the same life span of 50 millions clicks. The Feet Material is different, 700M Evo (PTFE) and G502 Hero (PTFE 250 kilometers). Considering the available Number of Buttons, 8 offered by first mouse and 11 offered by the second one, a small difference of 3 that can be considered important or not depending on the utilization purpose. In the end, the features offered by Cougar 700M Evo are On board Memory, DPI Indicator, RGB Lighting, Customizable RGB, while Logitech G502 Hero is giving On board Memory, DPI Indicator, RGB Lighting, Customizable RGB, Adjustable Scroll-Wheel Resistance.
