Logitech G502 X Plus
Ranked #5 in Best Gaming Mice

3 sources1 derived$149.99as of Aug 1

The Logitech G502 X Plus is the wireless reinvention of the G502: 13 programmable buttons, the dual-mode scroll wheel, the Hero 25K sensor and LIGHTSPEED wireless in one shell. Trusted Reviews called it 'a fantastic wireless gaming mouse' with 'one of the most comfortable shapes available.' At around 106g it is out of the featherweight esports race, but for MMO, MOBA and general use nothing here beats it.

Strengths
  • — Loaded with buttons — 13 programmable controls plus the signature dual-mode hyper-fast scroll wheel
  • — Comfortable, familiar G502 shape that reviewers call one of the most comfortable available
  • — Hero 25K sensor (25,600 DPI) with low-latency LIGHTSPEED 2.4GHz wireless
Watch-outs
  • — Heavy at ~106g — far from the featherweights in this category
  • — Premium $160 price for a feature-rich rather than competition-light design
  • — Weight and bulk dent its appeal as a pure competitive FPS mouse

Razer Viper V3 Pro
Higher ratedRanked #1 in Best Gaming Mice
Razer Viper V3 Pro
4 sources1 derived$99.99as of Aug 1

For the ambidextrous crowd, the Viper V3 Pro is Razer's symmetrical flagship: a 54 g magnesium-alloy chassis, the Focus Pro 35K sensor, optical mouse switches rated for 90 million clicks, and 8000 Hz wireless polling. IGN gave it 9/10 for the responsiveness and weight, calling it the answer to Logitech's G Pro X Superlight 2 for FPS pros who prefer claw or fingertip grips. Full configuration requires Razer Synapse software.

Strengths
  • — Focus Pro 35K sensor
  • — 59g ultra-lightweight
  • — Gen-3 optical switches
Watch-outs
  • — Expensive
  • — Limited customization without software
  • — Shape may not fit larger hands

How they stack up

Logitech G502 X Plus

The G502 X Plus is the heavyweight and the feature king of this lineup. At ~106g it is roughly double the 54g Razer Viper V3 Pro and far heavier than the 60g Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 and ~68g Glorious Model O 2 Wireless — a deliberate trade that buys 13 buttons and the dual-mode scroll wheel none of the others offer. Where the Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro and Viper V3 Pro chase minimalist FPS performance, the G502 X Plus targets MMO, MOBA and general productivity use.

Razer Viper V3 Pro

Razer's most refined wireless FPS mouse with cutting-edge sensor and improved build quality.
