It was my first ‘expensive’ gaming mouse and the one I’m still using, although at work now.
It works amazingly well, only middle mouse click is a bit weird. Anyone else using the original one? Ive heard stories from /r/g502masterrace that they survived floods and eartquakes

The best mouse in terms of ergonomics and old PWM3360 sensor than disaster Hero
Not 2014, but 2015 year and yes. Still rocking, recently have been looking into how to replace the skates as it’s getting to that point.
And it’s physical condition is about the same as yours
Why does nobody clean their mice before taking pictures of them? Yes we get the dirt and grime is from 2014 too. Ugh.
Fuck yeah mate. I tried getting a new one a while back because I didn’t realize they had changed and I was SO disappointed.
Reminds me on my g700 that lasted 5 years
I’m still rocking it but first, I clean it not like yours… ☠️
Second, I’ve modded it quite a bit: custom buttons, electronics, all mechanics maintained by me, painted the stupid rubber sides that get all dusty and sticky and destroyed with a special varnish…
I’ve got the same model with the same issues. Middle mouse button and yes the dirt too.
Out of curiosity, what would be the upgrade recommendation for the G502?
I was until it finally gave up :(. Just got a 305 wireless and cant complain.
Clean your mouse. Disgusting.
G402 still kicking
Mine sadly goes to the e waste center tomorrow along with a bunch of other old parts, It finally gave out a few months back.
It was proper manky by the end. But a bloody good mouse.
G502 Hero at work, G502 Lightspeed at home.
I just retired my g5…yes g5 from like 2004 this year for a g502x lol.
2016 g900 chaos spectrum, so not quite but almost. I hope it never breaks. Does anyone still have a g9?
Am still rocking the G402 since 2017 and it still looks brand new. Absolutely amazing.
Yup, works like a dream still
I would but the wheel broke. 😢
still rocking g402
Yep. On my 2nd PC.
Got the wireless version for my gaming PC.
I have the SE but it’s basically the same so I think that counts
My right click broke on mine like 3 months ago, upgraded to a super light and wish I’d just got the new wireless G502
Yep! Probably in worse state than yours but works great 😀
Me!
I raise you one G700s
Yep and it’s pain to clean
I wanted to buy it before. I had it in my hand once at work. Nope… Probably was the newer one, as I read here. It wasn’t that nad, actually, but ffs, who made the buttons so soft?? I’ve been clicking the side buttons all the time without even noticing it.
Just replaced with a G502X lightspeed.
I have one from 2016
My girlfriend still uses the OG g602 and that thing survived a lot of rages in R6 and still rocks !
Honestly it works better than my g302 lightspeed
I replaced mine last year with a G903 just to go wireless but mine is/was still going strong.
2 of them. Only mine get cleaned.
Yup. Spilled beer on it and everything a couple years ago and still runs like a champ.
I used a g500 20 years ago. Switched to a g502 and couldn’t tell much of a difference in shape. I’ve replaced it once and I’ve essentially been using the same mouse all these years. The g502 is just an upgrade on a previous design.
Nope, mine started sipping glue due to grip pads wearin out.
New one still wears but no glue.
Yup, very much still alive and well
I got mine in like 2017-2018 and had to replace it a few weeks ago. Double clicking like a mofo. Good run tho and got another one
I had to change mine 2-3 years ago because of right click getting double click issue and the middle wheel somehow started to rust.
I really liked it though but ended up going for something lighter weight wise.
You’re quite lucky to only have the middle mouse button go weird instead of the primary one.
I wish my 602 hadn’t gotten all gross and crumbly.
I’ve been looking at these to replace my current mouse, but the X Pro or whatever it is. How many mappable buttons come on these bad boys?
