Most gamers like to be able to customize their mice, whether they like it heavy or light, with high sensitivity or low. So when a gaming mouse comes out that enables them to suite it to their needs while having what Logitech calls, “the world’s most powerful and accurate sensor,” it immediately gets gamer’s attentions.
The Proteus Core offers a ridiculously fast 12,000 DPI sensor. However, to use it you will have to have a very high resolution PC or you will probably lose track of your cursor as it moves around at that high speed. Most games might have some trouble translating the movements of your mouse at that speed as well. Logitech has also stated that there mouse sensor has zero mouse acceleration and no smoothing or filtering. The sensor also has a surface tuning feature, this is very cool because it enables the device to find your optimal surface data. All you have to do is move your mouse around on the surface while the sensor analyzes it, then it will apply your settings. The mouse comes pre-tuned to the Logitech mouse pads, and you can add as many mouse pad profiles as you need.
The G502 comes with five weights at 3.6 grams each. The mouse at stock weighs 145 grams, so it is a little on the heavy side compared to most gaming mice. You can place the weights anywhere in the mouse to distribute the weight exactly how you want it. The door on the bottom of the mouse is magnetic and stays shut very well.
The shape of the mouse is very angular, it fits perfectly in my hand. I have reasonably large hands, I wear extra-large gloves and I can palm the mouse easily. I can reach all of the buttons well except the DPI down button. To push it I have to shift my hand a little more than I would like to. The thumb and pinkie grips are rubber coated which is a very nice feature, especially if your hands are sweaty or have condensation from a drink on them. The mouse has 11 programmable buttons that all are very responsive and make a nice sound when you push them. I really like the color scheme of the mouse, it is very subtle and elegant. The cable is a nice high-quality braided cable.
The mouse features 3 profiles and 5 separate DPI levels for each profile. The software is very easy to use and understand. You can use on board memory or the software’s automatic game detection, which detects the games you have on your PC, and lets you set up your keybindings through the software. I would definitely recommend this mouse to anybody who wants a mouse that has lots of customization. You can buy it for $79.99 from Logitech.com.
