Earlier this month at the 2016 edition of the Consumer Electronics Show, Logitech released a new product for the gaming market that might have gone unnoticed by some. The G502 Proteus Spectrum is a new gaming mouse that takes an amazing product and makes it just a little better with the help of some...

Logitech's G700 mouse is one of my all-time favourites. We gave it a solid 9 / 10 scoreline, and I espoused the belief that a wired-only version had the potential to be even greater, with a slimmer design and lighter weight if the batteries were shed.

Logitech' G502 Core mouse is really popular. It even has its own questionably named subreddit . It makes sense that Logitech would want to iterate and improve on it. That brings us to the G502 Proteus Spectrum.

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 . 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...

Logitech didn't change much with the G502 Hero, but it didn't have to. For three years I kept some variation of the G502 on my desk, swapping it out for reviews but always returning to it afterward.

The Logitech G502 Lightspeed is an ambitious mouse. Not only does it seek to live up to the reputation of the G502 series and the expectations of its most ardent supporters, but it takes that experience completely wireless.

Extremely responsive; Oodles of customization; Comfortable and solid; Great battery life

Quite expensive; Design not for everyone

Sometimes you can't beat the classics. But you can reimagine them. The Logitech G502 Lightspeed takes one of the company's most loved gaming mice and makes it lighter, faster and wireless.

Great design; Wireless charging capability; Optional weight adjustment; Weighs less than the original

Powerplay gets in the way of weight adjustment; Expensive

The long-awaited G502 Lightspeed wireless is an excellent mouse brimming with thoughtful features, hampered by a stinging price point.

Top notch HERO sensor; 11 fully programmable buttons; Modular weight; Compatible with the Powerplay charging mat

Very expensive at $149.99 (£129.99 in the UK; Built solely for righties
