Likes
The Logitech G502 HERO is a button-packed mouse. To be exact, it has no less than 11 buttons to program as you see fit. Even the scroll wheel has two button options. Additionally, the mouse has five individual weights that can be added to the unit to increase its weight in ~3.6-gram increments. Given the weight of the unit and the button options, it is a good mouse to get one started with MMO games.
Dislikes
While the HERO provides enough buttons to get started in MMO games, it will not excel in such activities. As such, we consider this unit to be more of a generic gaming mouse — too heavy for FPS games and too limited in its binds to be an effective MMO machine. Yet, the mouse isn't terribly expensive, and it is a good starter mouse for those getting into computer gaming.
We've tested other types of mice, including the best wireless mice, if you don't need the fancy features of a gaming mouse and prefer the freedom of going untethered.—
