![]() Pressing and holding the DPI shift button can also be used to have the mouse be at a different DPI setting while holding it. It makes the mouse valuable not only for gaming but for doing graphic design and the sort as well. You can have any keyboard command from the mouse using this method and I think it’s awesome. Want the middle mouse buttons to be Ctrl+T to transform in Photoshop in a breeze with one click? That’s what the software allows you to do! For example, I can tell the software that when I push and hold the DPI shift button that I can have different buttons be different keyboard commands. You can switch between profiles using the DPI switch in the top-middle of the mouse and you can change the lighting of each profile that way you know which one you’re currently using.Īnother thing about these profiles is that you’re able to set actual commands with the mouse. You just have to click on the DPI up/down buttons located right next to the left click. So if you’re wanting a bit lower DPI for a bit while scoping in on a sniper rifle or slowly moving your mouse during graphics development, you can. You can set the DPI to 5 different levels for each profile. Setting the DPI and customizing each profile differently is a bit more in-depth than I had imagined it to be. I like that because some hardware requires you to have different software for the different pieces of hardware, it’s nice to have everything in one place. You only need the one software for any piece of hardware that they have on the market, you can switch between the settings of a mouse or a keyboard with a click of the mouse. Logitech really knows what they’re doing when it comes to their gaming software. The more freedom you have on setting the DPI, deciding which button does what and having different profiles to switch to gives a mouse a lot more value. The overall quality of this mouse leaves me to think that it’s going to last a long time.Īn important part of any mouse on the market is the ability to be able to switch up how the mouse works. I should also note that the scroll wheel is made out of metal. One scroll and you’ll be able to reach the bottom of a web page in no time. This is great when you need to zoom in and out or if you’re browsing a long web page and you don’t want to have to do a bunch of different scrolls. Basically when you click this button, you’re able to have the scroll wheel go for a long time straight rather than it stopping itself with the ridges. The scroll wheel toggle with switch the scroll wheel between clicking between scrolls and having a long scroll. When you click the DPI switch it’ll switch over to another profile which will change the Logitech logo color indicating which profile you’re on. If you need to switch between point and click back to precise shooter aim then this comes in clutch.Īt the top of the mouse there is a DPI switch and a toggle button for the scroll wheel. Next to the left click are two more buttons which allow you to move up or down the different DPI settings that are set within the profile that you’re using. This is the button that allows you to shift what DPI or what the buttons will be able to do. They’re placed just right.Ī DPI shift button is placed more forward in the thumb position which makes it easy to hold while still moving the mouse around. You lift your thumb up a little bit to be able to click them. These two buttons are placed optimally right next to where your thumb rests on the curve of the mouse. ![]() They allow me to not have to reach across my keyboard to open up the map or my inventory in most cases. When it comes to a gaming mouse I almost NEED to have at least two thumb buttons on the side. These are a given with any mouse, The G502 has seven other buttons that have their own purposes as well. Obviously we have the basic mouse buttons from the left/right click to the mouse wheel. There are a bunch of buttons on this thing! No, it’s not a MMO mouse with twelve different thumb buttons but there are more buttons than you’d think. ![]() I got all of that and more with the G502 and I’m happy I decided to go with it! I’d like to go over some of the key features that the product pages boast about and elaborate on my experience with them so far. I was in the market for a mouse that had a bit of lighting, that allowed me to mess around with DPI settings freely and that had at least two thumb buttons.
