Logitech made "one of the best wireless gaming mice out there" and it's still MUCH cheaper after Prime Day ended [UPDATED]

Logitech makes some of the best gaming mice in the business, and right now, one of the manufacturer's top wireless options is more affordable than I've ever seen it before, even after Amazon Prime Day's end. For a limited time, the excellent Logitech G502 Lightspeed is just $79.99 at Amazon — a huge markdown from the mouse's standard $149.99 MSRP.

That's just a bit shy of a full half-off deal, making this one of the best discounts on a premium PC gaming accessory I've seen in quite some time. It's not as good as the one that was live during Prime Day, mind, but it's only a few dollars more, and still an absolute steal if you want or need a premium wireless gaming mouse.

Why I recommend the Logitech G502 Lightspeed to PC gamers

Amazon Prime Day 2024 may be over, but many discounts the annual sales event brought on PC gaming accessories like headsets, keyboards, and mice are still live — albeit with slightly higher pricing. This discount on the Logitech G502 Lightspeed is one of them, and is particularly noteworthy because the mouse typically sells at or close to its $149.99 MSRP — an expensive asking price that often pushes it into the "unaffordable" realm for some. Big markdowns like this one are rare for it, and its current $79.99 price is one of the lowest I've ever seen.

But what actually makes the Logitech G502 Lightspeed worth a pickup? For a complete breakdown of why we said it's "among the best gaming mice out there," don't miss our review (we gave it a perfect 5/5 score), but the long and short of it is that it delivers a stellar balance of performance, ergonomics, and customizability, all of which is wrapped up in one sleek and stylish package.

We fell in love with the "responsive and smooth" performance of the G502 Lightspeed when we reviewed the original version with a 16,000 DPI sensor, but in recent years, it's been refreshed with Logitech's HERO 25K sensor that's even better. This, along with the mouse's adjustable polling rate, comfortable ergonomic shape, 16 grams of tuning weights, and 11 programmable buttons you can configure with the Logitech G HUB software all make it one of the most versatile, customizable, and reliable mice you'll find on the market, even five years after its initial 2019 launch. It also gets up to 60 hours of battery life (~48 when the RGB Logitech logo is turned on), giving you plenty of time to work and game on a full charge.

The newer Logitech G502 X Plus makes some modest improvements with things like an extra button and improved battery life, but it's also pricier, and doesn't have an adjustable weight. For that reason, I'd argue the Logitech G502 Lightspeed still offers better value for your dollar, especially when it's on sale for almost 50% off. Without a doubt, it's one of the best gaming mice, though if you have smaller hands, you may prefer another option; one of the best alternatives is the Logitech G705, now $63.16 at Amazon (was $99.99).

What is Amazon Prime Day?

Amazon Prime Day began life as an annual sales event for Amazon Prime members, but over the years, it's grown into something of a worldwide sales frenzy. Competing storefronts like Walmart, Best Buy, Target, Newegg, and others discount their stock as well in an effort to undercut Amazon during its own sale, and as a result, you can sometimes — but not always — find deals at these retailers that are better than what Amazon has on offer.

Right now, Amazon's got the best price on the G502 Lightspeed, but if you plan to hunt for other lasting deals post-Prime Day, you should shop around. Consider getting a My Best Buy membership, Walmart Plus membership, and Target Circle membership too, as these will help you save on things like shipping costs and give you access to some exclusive deals.

    I have one of these and can recommend it. I used to have a G90x (can't recall the exact number) and you'd think that would be better but I was never completely happy with it. It was a bit too small and the shape wasn't really right. I got a PowerPlay mouse mat and upgraded the mouse to a compatible version and decided on the G502 because it was a bit bigger and more ergonomically shaped. It's not huge but I would think big enough for most hands.
