I bought the Logitech G502x around 6mths ago and it’s been working great for my work as well as occasional gaming. The G502x is actually a gaming mouse but is surprisingly useful and good for photo and video editing as well. It is light, has quite a lot of programmable button, tactile and is relatively inexpensive.
Another rarely known fact about this mouse as well is that it is relatively easy to repair according to my research.
Logitech G Hub
G Hub is Logitech’s software or app for all their G series peripherals. Interestingly too, it has a really good application-based profile switching; it is definitely reliable too after me using it switching between Capture One, Affinity Photo and even DaVinci Resolve for my work.
The macro programming on G Hub is also quite simple and in addition to being able to program a macro for each button for different applications; the G Hub software & G502x also has an additional G-Shift feature that enables one additional set of macros while one of the button is depressed.
The default button to use for G-Shift is the thumb button for G502x. And this feature allows the G502x to have effectively more than 10 programmable buttons.
