Which should you buy, Finalmouse UltralightX or Logitech G502 Hero?

The Finalmouse UltralightX is the one to take for collectors and enthusiasts who track Finalmouse's limited drops. The same goes for competitive players who prioritize the lowest possible weight and highest polling rate over brand ecosystem or easy availability. It is not the one for anyone who wants reliable restock availability, Finalmouse drops sell out fast and resale prices run well above MSRP. The Logitech G502 Hero suits palm grip users who like a heavier, filled-in shape, though it is not built for gram-counters chasing sub-80g mice and fingertip grip players who prefer small shells. It is equally the pick for players who want 11 programmable buttons for MMO or MOBA binds. Our rating of the Logitech G502 Hero (9/10): the most complete all-rounder in Logitech's lineup, and still a fair benchmark for what a mid-priced wired mouse should offer.
