DPI and profile selection are communicated through lighting on the top and rear of the mouse. DPI changes are indicated by different steady colors, while profile changes are displayed by different blinking colors.
Visual indicators for DPI and profile changes are shown via LED lights on the mouse.

Cleaning
To clean your mouse, use a soft, lint-free cloth. For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen the cloth with water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the mouse's surface.
Troubleshooting
Wireless Interference
To minimize environmental noise and ensure optimal wireless performance, keep the mouse and receiver at least 2 meters (6.5 ft) away from wireless routers or other 2.4 GHz wireless devices. The G502 X PLUS and G502 X LIGHTSPEED have a wireless range of up to 10 meters. For best performance in noisy wireless environments and easy access to the charging cable, it is recommended to keep the receiver within 20 cm (7.9 in) of the mouse.
Ensure proper distance between mouse, receiver, and other wireless devices.
Software Issues (Logitech G HUB)
If you experience issues with customization or profile management, ensure Logitech G HUB is up to date. Restarting the software or your computer can often resolve minor glitches. If problems persist, reinstall G HUB.
DPI Sensitivity Changes
If you find the mouse sensitivity changing unexpectedly, check your G HUB settings for accidental button assignments that might trigger DPI shifts. The G502 X has a dedicated DPI Shift button (G6) and DPI up/down buttons (G8/G7) that can be pressed inadvertently.
Mouse Not Responding
- Ensure the mouse is turned ON.
- Check battery level and charge if necessary.
- Verify the USB receiver is properly connected to your PC or extension adapter.
- Try connecting the mouse via the USB-C cable directly to your PC to rule out wireless issues.
- Test the mouse on a different USB port.
