The HERO's intelligent LED uses varying power and intensities of light to ensure that each frame is captured as accurately as possible, and the result is pixel perfect tracking. Lift off distance remains almost identical whether you're using a hard or soft mousing surface, and tracking is remarkably precise on both. The mouse charges quickly, either on the sold-separately Powerplay mat or via a wired USB connection, and boasts up to 60 hours of battery life with the RGB turned off (or 48 hours with the lights on).Īnother standout is how well (and consistently) the G502 performs on different surfaces. It's also incredibly efficient - Logitech claims that the current generation is 10x more power efficient that previous iterations.
It's an excellent optical sensor that performs as well as described in the marketing materials, and one of my favorite sensors of the massive pool I've tested. The HERO eliminates smoothing of any kind to mitigate latency, while also minimizing jitter. That aforementioned HERO sensor is a 16,000 CPI beauty with a 400 IPS max speed rating, which means you'll be able to throw the G502 around with wild abandon and it won't lose tracking.
