To adjust the weight and balance of your G502, first, open the weight door by grasping the mouse firmly in your right hand and pulling the tab down with your left thumb
You can place up to five 3 6 gram weights in a number of different orientations
Experiment with different positions for the weights to find an overall weight and balance that feels right for you

The G502 features Logitech’s exclusive dual-mode hyperfast scroll wheel Click the button right below the wheel (Button G12) to switch between the two modes
Tips
Weight and balance tuning is very much an exercise in personal preference Generally speaking, more weight makes it easier to control high DPI settings, while less weight
makes low-DPI gaming less fatiguing Centering weights along an imaginary line between your thumb and right-side grip finger(s) will help maintain optimal front-to-back balance.
The effects of changing weights may not be immediately apparent After changing the position or number of weights, give yourself some time to experience the difference before
changing them again
Try the default profile settings in practice games before changing these settings
Advanced gamers can customize each game according to their specific button configuration and sensitivity switching needs The Logitech
Gaming Software stores this information and applies it automatically when the game is detected
If the mouse doesn’t work
- Unplug and re-plug the USB cable to ensure a good connection
- Try the mouse USB cable in another USB port on the computer
- Use only a powered USB port
- Try rebooting the computer
- If possible, test the mouse on another computer
