Cooler Master MM711 vs Logitech G502 Hero: the weight difference

Which should you buy, Cooler Master MM711 or Logitech G502 Hero?

The Cooler Master MM711 is the one to take for right-handed palm and claw grip players wanting low weight and buyers who want a flagship sensor at a mid-range price, though it is not built for ambidextrous or left-handed users and anyone who wants a wireless connection. The same goes for anyone upgrading from a heavier ergonomic mouse without changing grip style. It is not the one for players bothered by a perforated shell letting in dust and debris. Buy the Logitech G502 Hero for palm grip users who like a heavier, filled-in shape, though it is the wrong buy for gram-counters chasing sub-80g mice and fingertip grip players who prefer small shells. It also earns its place with players who want 11 programmable buttons for MMO or MOBA binds.

What Cooler Master MM711 and Logitech G502 Hero have in common

Everything else lines up. Sensor tier, connectivity, polling rate, grip type and shape read the same on both, so those are not worth weighing. They match on 2 further specifications as well.

    Cooler Master MM711

    8 / 10 Expert Rating

    A genuinely light ergonomic mouse with flagship internals, and one of the best value picks for palm grip players who want low weight.

    Logitech G502 Hero

    The most complete all-rounder in Logitech's lineup, and still a fair benchmark for what a mid-priced wired mouse should offer.
