Naturally, this sculpted mouse is very much intended for right-handed users. The five extra weights come in a little box so they don't get lost, and slot easily into the base of the mouse. As someone who prefers a lighter kind of mouse so my spindly fingers don't ache with exertion after half an hour, I found that one weight was more than enough for my tastes during daily use and playing games, but at least the option's there for those who prefer something with a bit more heft to it. Like the Steelseries Rival 600, you can also make it even heavier if you wish, as both it and the regular G502 come with a little box of five 3.6g weights that can be slotted into the base of the mouse beneath its magnetic clip-on cover, giving you an additional 18g to play with in total. It is, admittedly, very much a 'gamer' style mouse with its many sections and copious combinations of matt and glossy finishes, but there's no denying it feels sturdy and well-made. On paper, it's just 9g lighter than the humongous Roccat Kone Aimo, and yet the Hero's svelte dimensions and super smooth feet often gave the impression it was gliding effortlessly across my fabric mouse mat with barely any resistance whatsoever. I'll admit I was surprised when I found out the G502 Hero weighed 121g, as it feels much lighter when you're moving it around the mouse mat. Is it worth the extra cash and can it muscle in on the Steelseries Rival 310 for the best gaming mouse crown? Let's find out. Otherwise you're looking at exactly the same mouse as before.

For an extra £30 / $30, you can bag yourself a 16000 DPI sensor as opposed to a 12000 one, left and right clickers with a 50 million click endurance rating rather than 20 million, and an additional two onboard memory profiles taking the total to five instead of three.

As you might have guessed from the name, the Logitech G502 Hero is a slightly fancier version of Logitech's classic £50 / $50 G502 gaming mouse.
