Strengths:
- same G502 wired feel
- lots of weights for those who prefer a heavier mouse
- maybe not a pro for everyone but minimal LED's ( personally dont like to many )
- responsive with little to no feel of input delay
Weaknesses:
- still Micro USB which is a notoriously bad connector for getting damaged
- Logitech G suite doesn't always auto update battery %
Additional Comments:
So far i havent experienced any of the double clicking but i would hope that Logitech would have addressed this issue and resolved it on the newer mice. As stated in the strengths, if you previously had the G502 wired mouse, its spot on as a direct replacement. As for the weaknesses, Micro USB is probably one of the worst connectors that could have been used on something like this, i would have liked to of seen this updated on all models as USB-C likely wouldnt have eaten up into the profits that much of the mouse while also making it far more reliable.
The Logitech G suite software is terrible. The software routinely doesnt update the battery charge and the ways around this are to turn the mouse off then on, or to restart your system. Clearly the mouse CAN report its bat % but it seems like the software is in no way able to pull that report in an interval, should have been rather easy to code in.
The original G502 is getting up there in age a little bit so i do feel the $200 price is a little outlandish. I would suggest getting this on sale, around the $150 mark, as that feels like a MUCH better value for an older version.

Strengths:
- lightspeed dongle, perceptually no delay, interference resistance
- battery is built in and good battery life
- weights
- good accuracy
Weaknesses:
- after 3 years rubber finish that's on both sides of the mouse is disintegrating. I have to keep gluing to the plastic base in multiple spots and it has ripped as well
- double clicking issue
Additional Comments:
It would have been a great product if it wasn't for the deal-braking defects that only come out after months or years of use. I still have my Logitech G5 mouse which is 10+ years old and works great. How is this mouse which is 3 years old already failing

Strengths:
Very ergonomic. Controls laid out well. Tracking seems accurate
Weaknesses:
Double click issue and 3rd mouse button failed
Additional Comments:
Like others I unfortunately got the double click issue, out of warranty. My 3rd mouse button also stopped working soon after. Mouse is essentially relegated to being a work mouse....

Strengths:
Great feel for larger hands. Decent battery life, and even if it fails you have a plug in to continue use until it recharges.
Weaknesses:
Switches are crap. I don't know what they are using now for switches, but they are junk. It would seem that most gaming mice are using the same switches. I have found that Razer, Logitech, and few other brands I forgot have the same issues with switch failures.
Additional Comments:
Crap, don't buy

Strengths:
the feel of this mouse is perfect with someone with medium to big hands, Great battery life and the software is easy to use
would be a perfect mouse BUT....
Weaknesses:
double clicking issues and I dont think its from the mouse itsself, I think its a sensor issue, whenever I unplug the sensor and plug it back it the double clicking would stop for abit but randomly come back, the scroll wheel stopped working and just seezed up, i could still click it but it ALSO double clicks...
Additional Comments:
If it didnt have the double clicking issue it would have been the best mouse I've ever used... I am currently buying a model O and lets see if thats better then this one...

Strengths:
Really nice weighting. Super nice feet. Great button position! The angle on the right click is absolute perfection. Good sized side buttons with nice placement. Really comfortable mouse overall.
Weaknesses:
It started to have the dreaded double clicking issue after two months. Imagine holding down your right mouse button to bring up your scope only that randomly, sometimes, turns into a flood of double clicks. Scope bounces, in, out, in, out, gah! That's not the worst part. The double click also affects the left mouse button. Sudden and random semi-auto mode! Good luck playing any FPS titles. The scroll wheel also middle-clicks when scrolling rapidly. When you're in Linux and editing code that turns into random "paste on blur hell" as I like to call it. My poor linter. The G Hub software is just terrible. The drivers are terrible. Mouse sensitivity settings are lost whenever there's an update or you reboot which means you have to reprogram them every time you want to game if you have a dual boot system.
Additional Comments:
I don't have the double clicking issues with my wired G502 which is about 6 months old. Same switches. Guess I got lucky there (so far). You can fix all the issues with G Hub by uninstalling it as soon as you've setup your mouse.

Strengths:
Comfortable
Good number of buttons
Easy to change DPI
Infinite scroll mode
Weaknesses:
Bit small for larger hands
USB type B
Pricey. Bought mine on sale.
Additional Comments:
I already had the G502, which I loved.
This is every bit as good, but with the added benefit of being wireless.
Battery lasts a long time, DPI is even better than the older G502, and syncs perfectly with my keyboard when using G Hub.
If you like the G502 and want wireless, this is an easy decision.

Strengths:
I've been using this for a long time now and it has excellent battery life and a very comfortable shape. I've had problems with Razer mice breaking a lot which is why I moved to Logitech and I've been very pleased. The software is excellent and switches between profiles very quickly and is easy to customize. Make sure you set the DPI correctly for your use as it has a very wide range and it's very important.
Weaknesses:
A bit expensive. I bought mine on sale as I feel the default ticket price is just a bit too high.
Additional Comments:
This is the best mouse I've ever owned. I primarily use it for gaming but it's also great for productivity. I liked it so much I bought one of the wired ones for my office at work as well.
